History
Russian term or phrase: "Блаженство каждого и всех"
К открытию Комиссии, которое состоялось 30 июля 1767 г., в Москву приехали 460 человек. У многих из них в петлицах на золотых цепочках были золотые овальные медали с изображением на одной стороне вензелевого имени Екатерины II, а на другой – пирамиды, увенчанной короной, и надписью: «Блаженство каждого и всех», «1766 года декабря 14-го» (Рис. 14).

Happiness for all


Explanation:
Блаженство - это старинное слово, означающее "счастье". И хотя есть более близкий перевод - Blessedness, но предлагаю Happiness как более ясный вариант.

Ещё можно:

Happiness for each and everyone

Blessings/Blessedness for One and All


Explanation:
It could be Happiness, Блаженство - невозмутимое счастье. But I would lean towards Blessedness because of Free Masonic context involved.
