A Simple Way to Learn " Lord's Prayer" In Aramaic!

Learn to say the Aramaic Prayer of Jesus
What if…
All Christians and devotees of Jesus, and his example of selfless service, would learn to say the words of his prayer (“The Lord’s Prayer”) in his native Aramaic Language?
All Christians and devotees of Jesus would then have one prayer, one practice, that they could share together, without any language or doctrinal differences. Today, we cannot even share the practice called “communion” (or eucharist) together because of these diffferences.
What difference would it make for Christians to unite in one prayer, acknowledging at the same time what all theologians, scholars and historians know: Jesus-Yeshua was a native Middle Eastern person and spoke Aramaic, a language related to both ancient Hebrew and classical Arabic, the languges of the Jewish and Islamic traditions?
Eastern (Aramaic-speaking) Christians today (Assyrians, Arameans, Syrian Orthodox, Church of the East) do not agree about the exact pronunciation of these words, but in fact the actual differences between their pronuniciations are very slight. A person of any language or background who learns a basic pronunciation of the Aramaic Lord’s Prayer could easily understand any others and join in praying the prayer with them.
The Abwoon Study Circle promotes this vision:
The pronunciation of the Aramaic Prayer of Jesus, in a dialect that combines both of the major current Aramaic pronunciations with a “tablespoon” of the ancient Hebrew intonation that Yeshua may have used, is now available online. The sound files in mp3 format can be downloaded, allowing one to learn the prayer at home. The links are below.
The Prayers of the Cosmos teaching CD uses advanced language education technology to allow one to learn both Yeshua’s prayer and his Beatitude sayings from Matthew in Aramaic. Use it for 15 minutes a day and you will learn the prayer in 40 days. Visit the Abwoon online shop to download all of the audio files, which include melodies for each line of the prayer and Beatitudes.

Holy spirit give me the wisdom and understanding to learn this prayer Amen

[@PaulSiddall]

It takes time and practice but before you know it you are getting through each line. I thought I would end with "But deliver us from evil" because "Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory" sounded so complicated in Aramaic. But I decided to go for the longer version and pursued learning the ending as well. Now I can pray it in Aramaic as easily as I do in English. It will serve me well to the day I breathe my last breath. BLESSINGS

​@@PaulSiddall please pray for me dear brother Paul please Amen 🙏 sounds so so so so soulful and beautiful 🤩❤️ Amen Jesus Jesus Jesus have mercy Jesus have mercy upon me a poor poor miserable sinner 🙏 amen have mercy on me help me please and all all my family members always 🙏 Thank and Praise YOU Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@PaulSiddall]

@chris-jy4im using the sing-along version helps tremendously at first to learn it. One line at a time. I honestly didn't think I could learn the last part "For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory " because it seemed too difficult. I thought I would just use the short version and end with "deliver us from evil". But I went on to memorize the rest and I can repeat now as well as I ever did in English. You will learn it! Blessings

[@pinay0712]

Tatay Jesus, guide me as I whole heartedly learn and memorize your prayer. Amen and Amen

[@PaulSiddall]

You will learn it. There were times I didn't know if I would memorize the whole prayer. But now I can say it as easily as in English.

[@Miles.Morales]

Learned it word by word up til the end. Been learning Hebrew, Latin, Sanskrit as well so this takes the cake!! Thank you!!!

[@Miles.Morales]

I'm able to now recite it without hearing it on here for the past 4 months. I do come back to listen to it regardless. Thank you!

[@levinolan636]

Very beautiful just think imagine Jesus praying like this in the garden before his execution. He is the master. We must be good servants and disciples.

[@Stroudtucson]

I love this! So beautiful and to know Jesus spoke this really touches my heart. I intend to learn it. Thank you.

[@PaulSiddall]

This is kind of a brush up video. Listen to the lines in the songs and it won't be long and you will learn it. I almost stopped at "deliver us from evil" but I went further to the longer version "Thine is the Kingdom, power, and glory forever and ever! Amen" I almost thought it would be too much effort to learn the rest but now I can quote it effortlessly. BLESSINGS

@@PaulSiddall lol right??

[@PaulSiddall]

@@ThePenaShow1 it is the best way to release and remit the offenses of the people who we think owe us something, like an apology or a changed life! This is why some translate it "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." It's because we think people owe us something by what they have said or done to us. But of course, the prayer first deals with ME. Remit my offenses, first, and let me clean up my own back yard before pointing any fingers at others. and the word "remit" I think is better because John the Baptist said, "Behold the Lamb of God Who TAKES AWAY the sins of the world." This is more than forgiveness. It is a removal or remission of sin. It's not "Behold the Lamb who 'forgives' sin but "takes it away", which is much more powerful. Blessings!

I'm learning to recite this prayer, and I love how you repeat it several times to get the correct pronunciation of it. However, I would like to print the screen that lists the written words with the translations. I tried the print screen function to no avail. Any suggestions?

[@PaulSiddall]

Screenshoot it with your phone and save or send it to wherever you want. In fact I am doing that now.

[@LarryBell-uc2uh]

If you havevtwo phones take a picture of the words. Then you can follow the speaker saying the prayer.❤

I wish my man would go a little slower with longer phrases of the prayer. Is their a slower version for begginers?

[@steakismynewnamenow8692]

Abwoon actually translates better as creator/birther of the cosmos not father. Abi means father.

[@PaulSiddall]

This was another person's version but this was not an attempt to translate only an attempt at pronunciation. As we learn when we look up the meaning of words in mantras that it's not the meaning but the vibrational frequency of the language that transforms the individual. They are designed so one feels the language not just think it. Like for example, "Hablan lachma" Aramaic for "provide bread...". Notice "provide" (haban) is said from the heart but Lachma (bread) can only be pronounced from the mouth. It's a beautiful language. If people would actually memorize the prayer they would know what I mean. BLESSINGS

[@PaulSiddall]

Yes, this is for sure. But this was meant to teach pronunciation not translation. But it is wonderful you know these things.

[@steakismynewnamenow8692]

@@PaulSiddall thanks! I love this vid I just see this commonly mistranslated as father and I think this is my favorite word in Aramaic because it opened my eyes to gods greatness! I love that every sound has a specific meaning. Thank you for sharing the language of Yeshua!

How do I learn this

[@PaulSiddall]

Follow along the sing-a-long songs I created to help learn it through song. Learn a line in song then repeat it normally. Build upon it until you know the whole thing. Learn the meaning of the words by looking them up in Aramaic so you experience some of the richness in meaning. Each line will melt you like wax around a flame! Blessings

[@susanrachael2066]

​@@PaulSiddall should I log into your name on KZbin and song of our father in Aramaic to find the song please 🙏 thank you

[@PaulSiddall]

Try everything available, like the sing along song as well. Each line you can absorb. Learn some of the meanings in Aramaic and how you might translate it in English. As you build upon each line the impact will grab you and you will know something others who haven't learned it don't. You will experience the language by feeling it not just thinking it. These semitic languages are designed to bring you an undeniable spiritual experience. Sanskrit is the same. I almost gave up memorizing the last line but finally I finished it and now I can pray it in Aramaic as easily as English. BLESSINGS

[@marialovespalmtrees]

Audio is not clear

[@idlsjay]

Why do y’all have a part of the Catholic Mass in this prayer?? The 2nd addition of the KJV added “for thine is the kingdom power and glory forever and ever” Jesus’ prayer ends at-Beesha (the evil one). It’s a carry over from after the split in 1535.

[@dugkor]

Can you please explain ? So I know for accuracy.

[@dugkor]

I learned it as ….”but deliver from Evil . Amen . I’m Catholic.

Which Type of Aramaic is this ?

[@melb4011]

I think the text mentions a "a dialect that combines both of the major current Aramaic pronunciations with a “tablespoon” of the ancient Hebrew intonation that Yeshua may have used". I wonder if Gallilean Aramaic was much different?

There’s something missing in your pronunciation you need the akhhh in the voice

[@PaulSiddall]

The Abwoon Network website shares the work of Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz on Native Middle Eastern (Southwest Asian) spirituality, peacemaking and ecology, including work on the Aramaic words of Jesus, Hebrew and Native Middle Eastern creation mysticism and Sufism. Neil is best known for his work on the Aramaic Prayer of Jesus (“The Lord’s Prayer”), shared both in his books as well through the body prayers with music that have spread around the world in the past 40 years (a form called the Dances of Universal Peace). Neil is the one giving us the pronunciation, and clearly prefaces no one knows the exact way in which it was spoken when Yeshua said it. However, we can come a lot closer than English will ever take us to feeling the language. Ther are different variations of the Aramaic as there are translations. The main thing is many are making the attempt to learn it in one way or the other. Thanks for sharing. I am sure you sound it out beautifully.

[@soniagabriel3585]

it is not correctly translated

[@PaulSiddall]

This was not an attempt to translate but to set markers, so people knew where they are at in the prayer if they knew it only in English before. The wonderful thing about sacred sound languages is translation is unnecessary for inner transformation. It is the sound that tunes one in even without the limited meaning of words. The rain needs no translation. Truth is ineffable. It must be felt, more than defined.
