In this time of Lenton self-reflection. I offer this prayer, according to the Biblical record it is the prayer that our Brother Jesus taught us to pray. Freed from the westernization, this is a inspiring prayer to the Divine. Enjoy, Reflect and Breath!
The Lord’s Prayer
(in the original Aramaic)
Abwûn
"Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes,
d'bwaschmâja
who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.
Nethkâdasch schmach
May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.
Têtê malkuthach.
Your Heavenly Domain approaches.
Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d'bwaschmâja af b'arha.
Let Your will come true - in the universe (all that vibrates)just as on earth (that is material and dense).
Hawvlân lachma d'sûnkanân jaomâna.
Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need,
Waschboklân chaubên wachtahên aikânadaf chnân schwoken l'chaijabên.
detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma)like we let go the guilt of others.
Wela tachlân l'nesjuna
Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations),
ela patzân min bischa.
but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose.
Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila wateschbuchta l'ahlâm almîn.
From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act,the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.
Amên.
Sealed in trust, faith and truth.(I confirm with my entire being)

Quick note:
ReplyDeleteThis is not really a "translation" of the Lord's Prayer, but more of a creative interpretation or meditation.
In comparison to the actual Aramaic text it claims to be taken from, it shares very *little* similarity. Where it is true that Aramaic, like any other language, has multiple meanings for words, how this text has been expounded upon goes far beyond any actual attested use or understanding.
If you'd like to learn more, I have gone over such translations in great detail here, along with a word-by-word analysis of the actual Aramaic text in question:
