Translation
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins;
for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
Lord’s Prayer from Luke, 11: 2-4 [Source]
