Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.

As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.

geheligat sie din nam.
Komme din koningrik,
goeres din ville op erd als okso in de himmel.
Giv oss ditta dag vor dagliga broed, ond forgiv oss vor skulden,
als vi forgivar vor skuldmannen.
Ond led oss not in forleding,
mar befri oss fram yvel.
Amen.
