Dear Heaven Maker:

Here is a most beautiful version of The Lord’s Prayer translated into modern English by Jon Marc Hammer.

Below each line is the transliteration of the original prayer in phonetic Aramaic.

The LORD’S PRAYER

Father-Mother of the Cosmos, Shimmering Light of All.
                (Ah bwoon d’bwashmaya)

Focus your Light Within us, As we breathe Your Holy Breath.
                 (Neeta kadasha schmach)

Enter the sanctuary of our hearts, Uniting within us the sacred rays Of Your Power and Beauty.
                 (Tay tay malkootha)

Let Your Heart’s desire Unite heaven and earth
Through our sacred union.
                 (Ne-whey t-savee-yanak eye kanna d’bwashmayaopfbaraha)

On earth, as it is in heaven.
Help us fulfill what lies within The circle of our lives today.
                 (How-lahn lachma d’soonkahnan yow-manna)

Forgive our secret fears
As we freely choose To forgive the secret fears of others
                 (Wash wo-klan how-bane eye-kanna dahp hahnan  shwaken el-high-ya-bane)

Let us not enter forgetfulness, Tempted by false appearances
                  (Oo-lah tah-lahn el-nees-yo-nah ella paewh-sahn min beesha)

For from Your astonishing Fire Comes the
Eternal Song which sanctifies all,
Renewed eternally In our lives, and Throughout all creation.
                    (Metahl dih-lah-kee mal-kootha, oo-high-la, oo-teeshbohk-ta.)

We seal these words in our hearts, Committed in trust and faith.
                    (La-alahm, ahl-meen. Ah-mayn)

Love,
Martin
