Belarusian - беларуская    bielaruskaja


Belarusian is one of the three East Slavonic languages, the other two being Russian and Ukrainian. As they each developed from the same East Slavonic source, they are each languages in their own right. Although Russian and Belarusian are very similar, it is no more correct to say that Belarusian is merely a dialect of Russian than it would be to say that Russian is a dialect of Belarusian! Each of the three languages has its own history.

Бо так палюбіў Бог свет, што аддаў Сына Свайго Адзінароднага, каб усякі, хто веруе ў Яго, ня згінуў, але меў жыццё вечнае.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3,16


9. Ойча наш, які ёсць на нябёсах, Няхай свяціцца імя Тваё, 10. Няхай прыйдзе Царства Тваё, Няхай будзе воля Твая як на небе, так і на зямлі. 11. Хлеб наш надзённы дай нам сёння; 12. І даруй нам даўгі нашы, Як і мы даруем даўжнікам нашым; 13. І не ўвядзі нас у спакусу, Але збаў нас ад злога.

9 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Matthew 6
