Dear Annie,

Shabbat is now but a memory,  l*m sorry for the delay in ansering your
question.  Some days it can* t be helped.  I have what you ' re looking for,
let me give you the Hebrew transliteration for the passage of Isaiah first.

Yeshiyahu ( Isaiah) 61: 1-2

Ruach Adonai (YHVH) ahlai ya-ahn mashakh Adonai oti levaser
anavim shelakhani lakhavosh lenish beray-layv likrho iishevooyim
dehrohr vela-amoorim pekakh-koakh.  Lekero shenat-ratzon laihoah
veyom nakarn leyloheynoo lenaheym kal-aveylim.

Note:  The word or letters in the "( )" stands for the Hebrew letters
that make up the  "Tetragramaton" or The Name of the Holy One,
blessed be He.  Jews do NOT pronounce this name out of respect.
Therefore we Jews use one of the following as a substitute...

Ruach Adonai, Adonai...
Ruach Ados hem...
Ruach Elohim...

Y'shua when reading this passage would not have pronounced The Father's
personal name.  (Just as I would not call my father by his first name out
of respect.) He would chosen one of these substitutes.  My guess would be
"Ruach Ados hem... "

Now let's turn to the seven berachot or seven blessings from the Jewish
wedding ceremony.

1.)  Baruch atah Adonai, Elohaenu melech ha-olam,  Borae pa're hagofin.

Praised be Thou O L-rd our G-d, King of the universe who has
created the  fruit of the vine

2.)  Baruch atah Adonai, Elohaenu melch ha-olam,  She-ha-kol bah-rah
leekh-voe-doe.

Praised be Thou O L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has
created all  things to Thy glory.

3.)    Baruch atah Adonai, Elohaenu melech ha-olam, yolzer ha-adam.

Praised be Thou O L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has
created man.

4.)    Baruch atah Adonai, Elohaenu melech ha-olam, asher yahtzar et
ha-adam bet-zal-rnoe bet-zalem deh-moot tah-veh-ee-toe,  veh-heet-keen
low me- mae-   nu been-yahn ah-day-ahd.  Baruch atah Adonai,
yohtzer ha-adam.

Praised be Thou, O L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has
made man in  Thine image, after Thy likeness, and out of his very self,
Thou has prepared unto him a perpetual fabric. Praised be Thou, O L-rd, who has
created man.

5. )    Sos tah-cease veh-tah-gel ha-ah-kah-rah, beh-kee-bootz
bah-nae-akh   leh-toe-kha beh-seem-kha.  Baruch atah Adonai,
mees-meh-akh tzion  biv-ahn-ekha.

May she who is childless (Zion) be exceedingly glad and

rejoice when her children shall be reunited in her midst in joy.  Praised be
Thou, O L-rd, who  gladdens Zion through ( restoring ) her children.

6.)     Shah-meh-akh t'smakh re-eem ha-ah-hoo-veem, keh-sah-mekh ha-akh

yet-tzir-reh-kha beh-gahn eh-dane mee-ked-ern.  Baruch atah
Adonai,  misa-meh-akh kha-tahn veh-khaiah.

Mayest Thou gladden the beloved friends (the newly married

couple), as  Thou didst gladden Thy creature (Adam) in the Garden of Edien
in the time of yore.  Praised be Thou, O L-rd our G-d, who gladdens the
bridegroom  and the bride.

7.)     Baruch atah Adonai, Elohaenu melech ha-olam, ashir bah-rah
sass-ohr  veh-seem-kha, cha-tan veh-khaiah, gih-lah ree-nah, dee-tzah
veched-rah-   ah-ha-vah veh-ah chavah, shalom veh-rae-oot. Meh-he-rae-ah Adonai
Elohaenu yish-mah beh-ah-rae y'hudah ohv-chutzot yerushalyim
kol sass-ohn veh-kol sirncha, kol chatan veh-kol khalah, kol mitzchalot
cha-tan-eem meh-choo-pah-tam oohn-ah-reem mee-mish-tae nah-gee-nah-tam.
Baruch  atah Adonai, mess-ah-mekha cha-tan-eem ha-kalah.

Praised be Thou, O L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who

has created joy  and gladness, bridegroom and bride, rejoicing, song, pleasure
and delight, love and brotherhood, peace and fellowship. Soon may there be
heard in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, the voice
of joy and gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the
jubilant voice of  bridegrooms fro their nuptial canopies, and of the youths
from their feasts of song.  Praised be Thou, O L-rd, who gladdens the bridegroom^
and the bride.

There you go.  I hope this helps you complete your manuscript.
Shavua tov (Have a good week!)
Rabbi O.
