Lord's prayer

Atta unsar žu in himinam,

hlaif unsarana žana sinteinan gib uns himma daga,
jah aflet uns žatei skulans sijaima,
swaswe jah weis afletam žaim skulam unsaraim,
jah ni briggais uns in fraistubnjai,
ak lausei uns af žamma ubilin;
unte žeina ist žiudangardi
jah mahts jah wulžus in aiwins.
Amen.
