Our Father

Our Father, also known as the Lord's Prayer, is a widely-known prayer of Christianity. It is used by linguists and conlangers for comparing the differences between languages. In many cases it is also called the Pater Noster because of the widespread use of Latin in the Church. There are even Runic inscriptions in Latin along the lines of "say a Pater Noster for so-and-so's soul."

Latin

Pater noster, qui es in caelis:

sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;

adveniat Regnum Tuum;

fiat voluntas Tua,

sicut in caelo, et in terra.

Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;

et dimitte nobis debita nostra,

Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;

et ne nos inducas in tentationem;

sed libera nos a Malo.

Germanic languages

High German

Vater Unser im Himmel,

Geheiligt werde Dein Name,

Dein Reich komme.

Dein Wille geschehe,

Wie im Himmel, so auf Erden.

Unser tägliches Brot gib uns heute,

Und vergib uns unsere Schuld,

Wie auch wir vergeben unseren Schuldigern.

Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung,

Sondern erlöse uns von dem Bösen.

Denn Dein ist das Reich und die Kraft

und die Herrlichkeit, in Ewigkeit.

Amen.

Dutch

Onze Vader,

die in de hemelen zijt,

geheiligd zij Uw naam.

Uw rijk kome,

Uw wil geschiede op aarde als in de hemel.

Geef ons heden ons dagelijks brood,

en vergeef ons onze schulden,

gelijk ook wij vergeven aan onze schuldenaren.

En leid ons niet in bekoring,

maar verlos ons van het kwade.

Modern English ELLC (1988)

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

as we forgive those who sin against us.

Save us from the time of trial

and deliver us from evil.

[For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours

now and for ever. Amen.]

Early Modern English (1662 BCP)

Our Father, which art in Heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

in earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive them that trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

But deliver us from evil.

[For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory,

For ever and ever.] Amen.

Middle English

Fader ure ðatt art in hevene blisse,

Ðin hege name itt wurðe bliscedd,

Cumen itt mote ði kingdom,

Ðin hali wil it be al don,

In heven and in erðe all so,

So itt sall ben ful wel ic to;

Gif us alle one ðis dai,

Ure bred of iche dai,

And forgive us ure sinne,

Als we don ure wiðerwinnes:

Leet us noct in fondlinge fall,

Ooc fro ivel ðu sild us alle. Amen.

Fader vår, du som er i himmelen!

Helliget vorde ditt navn;

komme ditt rike;

skje din vilje,

som i himmelen, så og på jorden;

gi oss idag vårt daglige brød;

og forlat oss vår skyld,

som vi og forlater våre skyldnere;

og led oss ikke inn i fristelse;

men fri oss fra det onde.

For riket er ditt,

og makten og æren i evighet.

Amen.

Patro nia, kiu estas en la ĉielo,

sanktigata estu Via nomo.

Venu Via regno.

Fariĝu Via volo,

kiel en la ĉielo, tiel ankaŭ sur la tero.

Nian panon ĉiutagan donu al ni hodiaŭ.

Kaj pardonu al ni niajn ŝuldojn,

kiel ankaŭ ni pardonas al niaj ŝuldantojn.

Kaj ne konduku nin en tenton,

sed liberigu nin de la malbono.

(Ĉar Via estas la regno kaj la potenco

kaj la gloro eterne.)

Amen.
