(Gothic is an extinct Germanic language that was spoken by the Goths. I decided to put up the prayer in the Gothic Language so people would realise that the Goths were a REAL set of people and not the fashion crap you see these days. The use of the language declined by mid 6th century due to the Goth's defeat at the hands of the Franks, the elimination of the Goths in Italy and geographic isolation. The language survived in the Codex Argenteus, a 6th century copy of the 4th century Bible translation.)
Fader unsar þu in himinam,
weihnai namo þein,
qimai þiudinassus þeins,
wairþai wilja þeins,
swe in himina jah ana airþai.
hlaif unsarana þana sinteinan gib uns himma daga,
jah aflet uns þatei skulans sijaima,
swaswe jah weis afletam þaim skulam unsaraim,
jah ni briggais uns in fraistubnjai,
ak lausei uns af þamma ubilin;
unte þeina ist þiudangardi
jah mahts jah wulþus in aiwins.
Amen.
(If you are surprised to find a prayer here then read this. This is not the first time I've posted something religious. People think I'm a atheist and that I don't believe in Heaven or Hell. That is far from the truth. People think so because I'm always insulting the Christian youths. I'm not insulting the fact that they are young Christians (as I am one, too), I'm insulting the fact that they are hypocrites. And I may not remember the Lord's Prayer by heart but I don't go around saying it without meaning it. There is a reason I'm putting it up here. Highly personal so I shall not explain.)
[About the language, let's just say I'm a sucker for history]
[[The Latin one is nice too. Then again, anything Latin is nice for me]]
[[[I wanna learn Latin]]]
(In every single translation of the Lord's Prayer, be it ancient or new, one thing never changes and that is the fact that it ALL starts with 'Our Father' and ends with 'Amen'.)
Good night :)
