Baba Yetu [Our Father / Swahili / Christopher Tin]

Baba yetu, Yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, Yetu amina!
Baba yetu Yetu uliye
Jina lako e litukuzwe.
Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji utusamehe
Makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
Waliotukosea usitutie
Katika majaribu, lakini
Utuokoe, na yule, muovu e milele!
Ufalme wako ufike utakalo
Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni. Amina

Bapa kami [Our Father / The Lord's Prayer] (Roman Catholic)

Bapa kami yang ada di surga,
dimuliakanlah nama-Mu.
Datanglah kerajaan-Mu, jadilah kehendak-Mu,
di atas bumi seperti di dalam surga.
Berikanlah kami rezeki pada hari ini,
dan ampunilah kesalahan kami seperti kamipun mengampuni
yang bersalah kepada kami.
Dan janganlah masukkan kami ke dalam percobaan,
tetapi bebaskanlah kami dari yang jahat.
Amin

English (literal) translation:

Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be your name
May your kingdom come, may you will be done
On earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily sustenance
And forgive us our sins as we forgive those
Who have sinned against us
And do not bring us to the test
But deliver us from evil
Amen

Eternal Spirit (Lord's Prayer, New Zealand Prayer Book)

Eternal Spirit, Earth-maker, Pain-bearer, Life-giver,
Source of all that is and that shall be,
Father and Mother of us all,
Loving God, in whom is heaven:
The hallowing of your name echo through the universe!
The way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the world!
Your heavenly will be done by all created beings!
Your commonwealth of peace and freedom sustain our hope and come on earth.
With the bread we need for today, feed us.
In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us.
In times of temptation and test, strengthen us.
From trials too great to endure, spare us.
From the grip of all that is evil, free us.
For you reign in the glory of the power that is love, now and for ever. Amen

From A New Zealand Prayer Book: He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa (1995)

I Come With Joy To Meet My Lord

I come with joy to meet my Lord,
forgiven, loved, and free,
in awe and wonder to recall
his life laid down for me.

I come with Christians far and near
to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread.

As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,
each proud division ends.
That love that made us makes us one,
and strangers now are friends.

And thus with joy we meet our Lord.
His presence, always near,
is in such friendship better known:
we see and praise him here.

Together met, together bound,
we'll go our different ways,
and as his people in the world,
we'll live and speak his praise.

The Lord's Prayer (Albert Hay Malotte)

Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done,
in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Composer: Albert Hay Malotte (1935)

The Lord's Prayer (Rimsky-Korsakov) / Russian Orthodox

Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done,
in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

Composer: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908)

Pater Noster (The Lord's Prayer / Latin)

Pater noster, qui es in caelis:
sanctificetur nomen tuum;
adveniat regnum tuum;
fiat voluntas tua,
sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem;
sed libera nos a malo

Vater unser im Himmel (The Lord's Prayer / German)

Vater unser im Himmel,
geheiligt werde Dein Name.
Dein Reich komme.
Dein Wille geschehe,
wie im Himmel so auf Erden.
Unser tägliches Brot gib uns heute.
Und vergib uns unsere Schuld,
wie auch wir vergeben unseren Schuldigern.
Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung,
sondern erlöse uns von dem Bösen.
Denn Dein ist das Reich und die Kraft und die Herrlichkeit in Ewigkeit.
Amen.

我們的天父 / 天主經 (The Lord's Prayer / Chinese Catholic)

我們的天父
願祢的名受顯揚
願祢的國來臨
願祢的旨意奉行在人間
如同在天上
求祢今天賞給我們日用的食糧
求祢寬恕我們的罪過
如同我們寬恕別人一樣
不要讓我們陷於誘惑
但救我們免於凶惡
阿們!

Notre Père (Duruflé) (The Lord's Prayer / French)

Notre Père, qui es aux cieux,
Que ton nom soit sanctifié,
Que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite
Sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd’hui notre pain de ce jour
Pardonne-nous nos offenses,
Comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation,
Mais délivre-nous du mal.
Amen.
