The Aramaic Prayer To Our Father
"Lord's Prayer"
This wording and pronunciation is the closest that
we know to the form which Jesus spoke.

Our Father in heaven,
nethkadash shamak
Holy is Thy name.
tetha malkoothak
Your Kingdom is coming,
newe tzevyanak
Your will is being done
aykan dabashmaya
on earth as it is in heaven.
af bara hav lan lakma dsoonkanan
Give us bread for our needs day by day.
yamana washbook lan
Forgive us our offenses
kavine aykana daf
as we have forgiven our offenders.
hanan shabookan lhayavine oolow talahn lanesyana
Do not let us enter into temptation.
ela fatsan men beesha
Deliver us from error.
