Translation

God full of compassion who dwells on high – grant proper rest in thy Divine Presence in the exalted spheres – for our holy and pure brethren whose blood was spilt at the hands of murderers. They were killed, strangled, burned and buried alive for the sanctification of Thy Name, for whose souls we now pray. May their resting place be in the Garden of Eden. May the Master of Mercy shelter them in the shadow of His wings, for eternity. And may He bind their souls in the Bond of Life. God is their inheritance and may they repose in peace in their resting place. And let us say: Amen.
