The Aramaic Lord’s Prayer
-- transliteration by Saadi Neil Douglas-Klotz from the original Aramaic spoken by Jesus

Abwoon d’bwashmaya
Nethqadash shmakh
Teytey malkuthakh
Nehwey sebyanach aykanna d’bwashmaya aph b’arah
Hawvlan lachma d’sunqanan yaomana.
Washboqlan khaubayn wakhtahayn aykana daph khnan Shbwoqan l’khayyabayn.
Wela tahlan l’nesyuna
Ela patzan min bisha.
Metol dilakhie malkutha wahayla wateshbukhta l’ahlam almin.
Ameyn.

O Thou from whom comes the breath of life, which is present in all realms of vibration and light.

Let thy light/sound be experienced in my own ‘holy of holies.’

Let your ideals and counsel rule.

Let your desire be, as in the universe (all that vibrates), so also on earth.

Give us bread (understanding/support) for our needs from day to day.

Loose the cords of mistakes binding us, as we release the strands we hold of others’ faults.

Do not let surface things delude us.

But free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.

To you belongs the ruling will, the life and power to do, the song which beautifies all, from age to age it renews.

Amen (Sealed in trust and faith.)
