9. Ár n-Athair, atá ar neamh; go naomhthar d’ainm: 10. go d-tigidh do ríoghacht: go n-déantar do thoil ar an talamh, mar ghníthear ar neamh. 11. Tabhair dhúinn indiu ár n-arán laetheamhuil: 12. agus maith dhúinn ár bh-fiacha, mar mhaithemíd-ne d’ár bh-fiachanhinaibh féin: 13. agus ná léig sinn, g-cathughadh: acht saor sinn ó olc.

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
