Translation

Bar Yochai - fortunate are you, anointed with joyous oil [i.e.
wisdom], over and above your companions.

Bar Yochai…You were anointed with the holy oil that flows
down from the transcendent [source of mercy]. [Like the High
Priest], you wore a holy crown that set you aside from other
men, an aura of splendor bound eternally upon your head.
