Greek

Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς·
ἁγιασθήτω τὸὄνομά σου·
ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου·
γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου,·
ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶἐπὶ γῆς·
τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον·
καὶἄφες ἡμῖν τὰὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν,
ὡς καὶἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν·
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,
ἀλλὰῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ

Latin

Pater noster, qui es in caelis:

sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;

adveniat Regnum Tuum;

fiat voluntas Tua,

sicut in caelo, et in terra.

Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;

et dimitte nobis debita nostra,

sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;

et ne nos inducas in tentationem;

sed libera nos a Malo

 

(Old English - Anglo-Saxon, approximately  1000 BCE)

Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum;

Si þin nama gehalgod

and forgyf us ure gyltas

and ne gelæd þu us on costnunge
