Tuota Nuester / Our Father / Pater Noster
Matthew 6:9-13 Luke 11:2-4

Tuota nuester, che te sante intel sil: sait santificuot el naun to. Vigna el raigno to. Sait fuot la voluntuot toa, Coisa in sil, coisa in tiara. Duote costa dai el pun nuester cotidiun. E remetiaj le nuestre debete, Coisa nojiltri remetiaime a i nuestri debetuar. E naun ne menur in tentatiaun, mui deliberiajne dal mal.
