The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13)

  1. Dung i mangkuling ma Debata, “Marpungu ma aek na di toru ni langit i tu sada inganan, lopus tarida tano i” gabe jadi ma songon i.
  2. Digoari Debata ma tano i “Darat”, jana parpunguan ni aek i digoari Ia ma “Laut”. Jana denggan ma sudena i diida Debata.
  3. Dung i mangkuling ma Debata, “Dipartubuhon tano ma sude ragam ni suan-suanan, i ma na marboni dohot na marbatu” – gabe tarjadi ma songon i.
  4. Songon i ma dipartubuhon tano i sudena ragam ni suan-suanan. Jana denggan ma sudena i diida Debata.
  5. Salpu ma borngin jana torang ma ari – i ma ari patoluhon.
