Kashubian - kaszëbsczi


One of the West Slavonic languages of the south Baltic coast is Kashubian. It is closely related to, and has been heavily influenced by Polish, a West Slavonic language from further south. For much of its history the Kashubian speakers have been governed by Pomerania, Pomerelia, the Teutonic Order, Prussia and the German Empire. These rulers were German-speaking. In 1920 the Kashubians found themselves governed by Poland, which used Polish, a language they could easily understand.

Bóg tak ùlubił swiat, że dôł Swégò Jednorodzonégò Sëna, żebë kòżdy, chto w Niegò wierzy, nie zdżinął, le miôł wieczné żëcé.

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. Òjcze nasz, jaczi jes w niebie, niech sã swiãcy Twòje miono, 10. niech przińdze Twòje królestwò, niech mdze Twòja wòlô jakno w niebie tak téż na zemi. 11. Chleba najégò pòwszednégò dôj nóm dzysô 12. i òdpùscë nóm naje winë, jak i më òdpùszcziwómë naszim winowajcóm. 13. A nie dopùscë na nas pòkùszeniô, ale nas zbawi òde złégò.

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
