Ár n-athair, atá ar neamh: go naofar
d'ainm. Go dtaga do riocht. Go ndéantar
do thoil ar an talamh, mar dhéantar ar
neamh. Ár n-arán laethiúl tabhair dúinn
inniu, agus maith dúinn ár bhfiacha, mar
mhaithimid dár bhféichiúnaithe féin.
Agus ná lig sinn i gcathú, ach saor sinn ó
olc. Óir is leatsa an Ríocht agus an
Chumhacht agus an Ghloir, tré shaol na
saol. Amen.
Ein Tad, yr hwn wyt yn y
nefoedd, sancteiddier dy Enw.
Deled dy deyrnas. Gweneler dy
ewyllys megis yn y nef, felly ar y
ddaear hefyd. Dyro i ni heddyw
ein bara begunyddiol. A maddeu
i ni ein dyledion, fel y
maddeuwn ninnau i'n dyledwyr.
Ac nac arwain ni i brofedigaeth;
eithr gwared ni rhag y drwg.
Amen.
AR n-athair a tha air nèamh: GU
naomhaichear d'ainm. Thigeadh do
rìoghachd. Dèantar do thoil air an
talamh, mar a nithear air nèamh. Tabhair
dhuinn an AR fiachan, amhuil mar a
mhaitheas sinne d'ar luchd-fiach. Agus
na leig am buaireadh sinn, ach saor Sinn
o olc. Oir is leatsa an rioghachd agus an
cumhachd agus a'ghòir GU siorruidh.
Amen.
ENGLISH
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 forever. Amen.
