After having eaten a meal when hammoṣí was said, that is a meal containing bread as a significant ingredient, we say Birkàt hammazón.
The current version is a north-western European Sephardic version based primarily on printed sources from the Netherlands (1634, 1650, 1695) and on the handwritten Copenhagen Haggadah (1739).
Before saying Birkàt hammazón all rinse their fingers, and the used water, which is considered tamé (unclean), is taken away from the table. (Some also have the tradition to remove all knives from the table before Birkàt hammazón.)
On Shabbát, yom tób and on other festive occasions the Sefaradí custom is to say the Birkàt hammazón over a glass of kashér grape wine or grape juice. On regular weekdays we usually say the Birkàt hammazón over other beverages instead.
Fill up the glass or cup.
(If fewer than three Jews over the age of bar/bat miṣvá are present,
go straight to berakhá 1 of the Birkàt hammazón)
Zimmún
If at least three Jews over the age of bené miṣvá have eaten together,
one starts with the Zimmún.
The leader says: נְבָרֵךְ (אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ) שֶׁאָכַֽלְנוּ מִשֶּׁלּוֹ׃ Nebarékh (Elohénu) šeakhàlnu miššelló. Bless {the One ~ our Elohím,} of Whose gifts we ate. All reply: בָּרוּךְ (אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ) שֶׁאָכַֽלְנוּ מִשֶּׁלּוֹ וּבְטוּבוֹ חָיִֽינוּ׃ Barúkh (Elohénu) šeakhàlnu miššelló ubṭubó ḥayínu. Blessed {the One ~ our Elohím,} of Whose gifts we ate and by Whose good things we live. The leader repeats: בָּרוּךְ (אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ) שֶׁאָכַֽלְנוּ מִשֶּׁלּוֹ וּבְטוּבוֹ חָיִֽינוּ׃ Barúkh (Elohénu) šeakhàlnu miššelló ubṭubó ḥayínu. Blessed {the One ~ our Elohím,} of Whose gifts we ate and by Whose good things we live. The leader continues: בָּרוּךְ הוּא וּבָרוּךְ שְׁמוֹ וּבָרוּךְ זִכְרוֹ לְעֽוֹלְמֵי עַד׃ Barúkh Hú ubarúkh Šemó, ubarúkh zikhró leŋólemē ŋàd. Blessed be the One and blessed be the Name and blessed the One’s Memory for ever and ever. |
If fewer than three Jews over the age of bené miṣvá ate together, begin here:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי. אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָֽעוֹלָם. הַזָּן אֶת הָֽעוֹלָם כֻּלּוֹ בְּחֵן בְּחֶֽסֶד וּבְרַֽחֲמִים. כָּֽאָמוּר. נֹתֵ֣ן לֶ֭חֶם לְכָל־בָּשָׂ֑ר כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ וְטוּבוֹ הַגָּדוֹל תָּמִיד לֹא חָסַר־לָֽנוּ וְאַל יֶחְסַר־לָֽנוּ מָזוֹן תָּמִיד לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד. כִּי הוּא זָן וּמְפַרְנֵס לַכֹּל. כָּֽאָמוּר. פּוֹתֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכָל־חַ֣י רָצֽוֹן׃ בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי. הַזָּן אֶת הַכֹּל׃

Blessed are You, Adonáy, our Elohím, sovereign of the universe, Who feeds us and the world, all with grace, with kindness and in mercy; (as it is said:) “You gave bread to all flesh, for Your mercy endures for ever.” And Your great good never failed us; and may never fail us steadfast food for ever and ever; for You provided food and sustenance for all, as it is said: “You open Your hand and sate all living of favour.” Blessed are You, Adonáy, Who feeds all.
(Some say that women should omit the text in parentheses here.)

We thank You, Adonáy, our Elohím, for Your giving as an inheritance to our ancestors a desirable, good and ample land, covenant and Torá, life and sustenance, [and] because You brought us out from the land of Egypt and redeemed us from the house of slaves; (and for Your covenant which You sealed in our flesh,) and for the statutes of Your will which You made us know; and for the life and food with which You fed and provided for us.
(On Ḥanukká and Purím, say ŋAl hannissím. (not yet included here)) |
וְעַל הַכֹּל יי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ אָֽנוּ מוֹדִים לָךְ. וּמְבָֽרְכִים אֶת שְׁמָךְ. כָּֽאָמוּר. וְאָֽכַלְתָּ֖ וְשָׂבָ֑עְתָּ וּבֵֽרַכְתָּ֙ אֶת־י֣י אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ עַל־הָאָ֥רֶץ הַטֹּבָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽתַן־לָֽךְ׃ בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי. עַל הָאָֽרֶץ וְעַל הַמָּזוֹן׃

And for it all, Adonáy, our Elohím, we thank You and bless Your Name, as it is said: “And you shall eat and be satisfied, and you shall bless Adonáy, your Elohím, for the good land which the One gave you.” Blessed are You, Adonáy, for the land and for the food.

Have mercy, Adonáy, our Elohím, on us, and on Yisraél Your people, and on Yerúšalàim Your city, and on mount Ṣiyyón the dwelling place of Your glory, and on the House, the Great and Holy, over which Your Name is pronounced. Our Parent, be our shepherd, feed us, provide for us, sustain us, let us earn a living, and relieve us speedily from all our worries. And let us not depend, Adonáy, our Elohím, upon gifts from flesh and blood, and not upon their loans, for their gifts are small and their reproach great; but rather upon Your Hand, the full and wide one. We shall not be put to shame in this present world, nor be confounded in the world to come; and the reign of the House of Davíd, Your anointed one, restore to its place, speedily, in our days.
On Shabbát, add «Reṣé vehàḥaliṣénu»:רְצֵא וְהַֽחֲלִיצֵֽנוּ יי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ בְּמִצְוֹתֶֽיךָ וּבְמִצְוַת יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי. הַשַּׁבָּת הַגָּדוֹל וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ הַזֶּה. כִּי יוֹם גָּדוֹל וְקָדוֹשׁ הוּא מִלְּפָנֶֽיךָ. נִשְׁבּוֹת בּוֹ וְנָנֽוּחַ בּוֹ כְּמִצְוַת חוּקֵּי רְצוֹנָךְ. וְאַל תְּהִי צָרָה וְיָגוֹן בְּיוֹם מְנֽוּחָתֵֽינוּ. וְהַרְאֵֽנוּ בְּנֶֽחָמַת צִיּוֹן בִּמְהֵרָה בְּיָמֵֽינוּ. כִּי אַתָּה הוּא בַּֽעַל הַנֶּֽחָמוֹת.

Be pleased to strengthen us, Adonáy, our Elohím, with Your miṣvót, and with the miṣvá of the seventh day, this great and holy Shabbát; for it is a great and holy day before You, we will rest thereon and be at ease thereon, according to the miṣvá of the statutes of Your will. Let there not be worries and trouble on the day of our rest, and let us see Ṣiyyón be consoled speedily, in our days, for You are the master of consolation. |

On Shabbát, including during festivals, the leader concludes: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי. מְנַחֵם עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּבִנְיַן יְרֽוּשָׁלִַֽם. אָמֵן׃ Barúkh attá Adonáy, menaḥém ŋammó Yisraél bebinyàn Yerúšalàim; Amén.

According to the old Spanish and Portugues minhág, conclude part 3 thus:

Haràḥamán
Miğdól yešuŋót malkó,
veŋosè ḥèsed limšiḥó,
leDavíd ulzarŋó ŋad ŋolám.
Kefirím rašú veraŋébu;
vedórešé Adonáy ló-yaḥserú khol-ṭób.
Ma-ššeakhàlnu yìh’yè lesobŋá,
uma-ššešatínu yìh’yè lirfuá,
uma-ššèhotàrnu yìh’yè librakhá, kedikhtíb:
Vayyittén lifnēhèm, vayyókhelú vayyotíru kidbàr Adonáy.
Berukhím attèm làAdonáy; ŋosé šamàyim vaáreṣ.
Barúkh haggèber ašèr yibṭàḥ bàAdonáy;
vehayá Adonáy mibṭaḥó.
Adonáy ŋóz leŋammó yittén;
Adonáy yebarékh et-ŋammó baššalóm.
A tower of salvation for God’s sovereign
and doer of kindness to God’s anointed;
to David and his seed, forever.”
The lion whelps may be poor and hungry,
but the seekers of Adonáy will not lack any good thing.
What we ate let be satisfying,
and what we drank let be for medicine,
and what we left let be for a blessing,
as it is written:
And he put before them, they ate and left over
according to the word of Adonáy.
May you be blessed to Adonáy,
the Maker of Heavens and earth.
Blessed the man who trusts in Adonáy;
and may Adonáy be his trust.
Adonáy! Give Your people strength;
Adonáy! Bless Your people with peace.
(During weddings, and also during the seven days after the wedding (if both bride and groom have been married before: three days) if anyone is present who did not attend the wedding, we say Shèbaŋ berakhót over the wine if there is a minyán. If there is no minyán we say only the berakhá over wine and the seventh berakhá.)
If the Birkàt hammazón was said over kashér wine/juice with at least 50% grape juice we say the berakhá over wine:
סַבְרִי מָֽרָנָן. (חַיִּים!) בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי. אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָֽעוֹלָם. בוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגֶּֽפֶן׃
Sabrí máranán? (Ḥayyím!) Barúkh attá Adonáy, Elohénu mèlekh háŋolám, boré perí haggèfen.
What say my honoured company? (Life!) Blessed are You, Adonáy, our Elohím, sovereign of the universe, creator of the fruit of the vine.
If the Birkàt hammazón was said over other beverages than grape wine or grape juice — such as other juice, fruit syrup, coffee, tea, milk, soda/pop, ale, beer or wine other than grape wine, we say the berakhá shèhhakkól in stead of perí haggèfen:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי. אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָֽעוֹלָם. שֶֽׁהַכֹּל נִֽהְיָה בִּדְבָרוֹ׃
Barúkh attá Adonáy, Elohénu mèlekh háŋolám, šèhakkól nìh’yá bidbaró.
Blessed are You, Adonáy, our Elohím, sovereign of the universe, by Whose Word all was caused to be.
