Tena Jisas ki meake na tama raa, “Te saaita kootou e lotu raa, tena kootou ku lotu peenei: ‘Tamana: Te inoa e tapu Akoe naa ki hakammaha ria; tiaki te Hakamaatua ana Akoe raa ki hamai.
Kou mai ni kai ma maatou te aho ma te aho.
Ssirihia niaa maatou e ssara, pera ma maatou e ssirihia niaa na tama e ssara i maatou raa. Auu se kou mai na hahaaite e hainattaa i maatou.’ ”
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.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
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.
