Transcript

Ár nAthair atá ar neamh,
Is ' naomhaíthear th'ainm.
Go dtige do ríocht.
Go ndéantar do thoil agus do réir
Ar an dtalamh mar a déantar ar neamh.
Ár n-arán laethúil tabhair dúinn inniu.
Maith dhúinn ár gcionta
Mar a mhaithimid do chách do chiontaíos inár n-aghaidh
Ná léig sinn i gcathuíbh,
Ach saor sinn ós gach uile bhaol.
Amen.
