Aramaic "Lord's Prayer"

This wording and pronunciation is the closest that
we know to the form which Jesus spoke.

aboon dabashmaya
Our father who is in heaven,

nethkadash shamak
holy is his name,

tetha malkoothak
your Kingdom is coming,

newe tzevyanak
your will is being done

aykan dabashmaya af bara
on earth as it is in heaven,

hav lan lakma dsoonkanan yamanawashbook lan
give us our bread day by day

kavine aykana daf hanan shabookan lhayavine oolow talahn lanesyana
as we forgive those who trespass and sin against us

ela fatsan men beesha
deliver us from evil

---

Or another Version:

The Lord's Prayer - Aramaic Translation

Our Father in the Universe
Holy be your name
Let come your Kingdom, Let be your desire
As in the universe, So on Earth
Give us bread, our need from day to day
And release us our offenses
Even as we also have released our offenders
And do not let us enter into worldliness
But part us from error
Because yours are Kingdom and Power and Glory
From ages through ages,
Sealed in Truth. It is so.
Amen.
