Hebrew term or phrase: םילשודי דחכשא םא

This phrase is backwards, it wont copy and paste in the right way. So even though you are supposed to read from right to left in Hebrew this phrase reads left to right. It doesnt have vowels so I cant even really pronounce it, if you know it with vowels, could you please include that so that I can pronounce it?

Explanation:
The letters of each word are written backwards here, and there are a few other typos besides.

Other than that, the inteneded meaning is:
