"Father, our father
in the heavens above,
Spoken in holiness must
be your name!
Into the world must come
your kingdom,
and into being whatever you
have willed, in heaven the
same way as here on earth.
The loaf of bread, our every
next loaf, give it to us today!
And free us from our debts,
Once we have - just as we have -
set out debtors free. And
don't, we beg you, take us
into the ordeal -- No, save us!
Save us from the Evil One!
________________________
Luke 11 (Ruden translation)
Father,
Spoken in holiness
must be your name.
Into the world must come
your kingdom.
The loaf of bread, our
every next loaf,
give it to us day by day,
and free us from our
sins
as long as we free everyone
who owes us,
And,
We beg you,
Do not take us into the ordeal!
