The Lord’s Prayer: German and Aramaic
The Lord’s Prayer is the best-known Christian prayer and is said to go back to Jesus himself. In the Gospels of Luke (Luke 11:1-4) and Matthew (6:9-13), we are told how Jesus taught his disciples to pray. The Lord’s Prayer connects Christianity around the world and has been translated into many languages. It is spoken in every service. This is the longer version according to Matthew with a total of seven petitions:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come. Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not bring us to the time of trial,
but rescue us from the evil one.
For the kingdom and the power
and the glory are yours forever.
Amen.
This is the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic. Did you know that Aramaic was the language that Jesus spoke with his disciples? Thus, the “Lord’s Prayer” was originally spoken in Aramaic and very probably written down later.
