Assuming "God bless you" is in the context of someone sneezing, we say לבריאות (lavriut), which literally means something like "to health" but it's used in the same way as "God bless you".

For "Oh my God", I'd translate it to either אלוהים (elohim, native speakers usually pronounce it "eloim") or אלוהים אדירים (elohim adirim). Literally, the former means "god" and the latter means something like "great god". They're used just like "oh my God" though. But those phrases aren't actually that useful, because I'd say most native speakers would just say "Oh my God" anyway haha.

"Thank god" is תודה לאל (toda la'el), and it literally means "thank God" and is used in the same way. So, that's that.

I usually hear "baruch Hashem" (ברוך השם) when something good happens.

  1. לבריאות lavriut (meaning is unrelated to blessings, more like "to your health", but it's what you say when someone sneezes)
  2. אלוהים (elohim) or many other interjections depending on context
  3. תודה לאל toda la'el

I think Oh My God is usually translated to Elohim Adirim אלוהים אדירים (great god)

True, some even say the typical OMG reaction.

Also want to point out that "Adirim" is a plural form of the word "Adir".

"Good bless you" in a non-sneezing context can be translated to 'Tevorakh' תבורך or 'She'Elohim Yevatekh Otkha' שאלוהים יברך אותך

For oh my god I would use "oh my god". Sometimes I would say "מה לעזאזל?" which is pretty much like "what the hell?" Either way these two phrases aren't that common...

Do you know how to say “oh my gosh?” or do you say that in english too?

After reading all of the above, I will just add that IMHO "Oh My God" would translate best to "Elohim Ishmor אלוהים ישמור" (at least this is what people usually say in the same context).

The actual translation of אלוהים ישמור is "God will keep us safe" or "God Forbid"
