The Aramaic Lord's Prayer

Abwoon d'bwashmaya

Oh Birther, Father Mother of the Cosmos,
you create all that moves in Light.

Nethqadash shmakh

Focus your Light within us,
make it useful as the rays of a beacon show the way.

Teytey malkuthakh

Create your reign of unity now
through our fiery hearts and willing hands..

Nehwey sebyanach aykanna d'bwashmaya aph b'arha

Your one desire then acts with ours,
as in all Light so in all forms.

Habwlan lachma d'sunqanan yaomana

Grant what we need each day in bread and insight.

Washboqlan khaubayn (wakhtahayn) aykana daph khnan shbwoqan l'khayyabayn

Loose the cords of mistakes binding us,
as we release the strands we hold of other's guilt.

Wela tahlan l'nesyuna

Don't let surface things delude us.

Ela patzan min bisha

But free us from what holds us back.

Metol dilakhie malkutha wahayla wateshbukhta l'ahlam almin

From You is born all ruling Will
the Power and the Life to do,
the song that beautifies all,
from age to age it renews.

Amen

Truely, power to these statements, may they be the
source from which all our actions grow,
sealed in Trust and Faith.
Amen.
