The Lord’s Prayer

Syriac Aramaic
Syriac Orthodox Church

The Syriac Orthodox Churches under three separate patriarchates date back to the early days of Christianity and maintain their liturgy in Aramaic, the lingua franca of the Persian and Eastern Roman Empires and the language in which Jesus taught.

Abun d-bashmayo
nithqadash shmokh
tithe malkuthokh
nehwe sebyonokh
aykano d-bashmayo oph bar`o
hab lan lahmo d-sunqonan yowmono
washbuq lan hawbayn wahtohayn
aykano doph hnan shbaqan l-hayobayn
lo ta`lan l-nesyuno
elo paso lan men bisho
metul d-dylokh hi malkutho
whaylo wteshbuhto
l`olam `olmin
Amin
