Sample text

East Asturian

Padre nuestru que tas nel cielu,
santificáu seya'l tu nome.
Amiye'l tu reinu,
ḥágase la tu voluntá lu mesmu ena tierra qu'en cielu.
El nuestru pan de tolos díes dánoslu hoi
y perdónanos les nuestres ofenses
lu mesmu que nosotros ḥacemos colos que nos faltaren.
Y nun nos dexes cayer ena tentación,
y llíbranos del mal.
Amén.


English (KJV)

Our father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
Amen.
