Jesus spoke is the Aramaic language. The Lords Prayer as Christians normally recite it has been translated and retranslated. In doing so it has been open to interpretation and change. Here is a version of the Lords prayer as a direct translation to English from Aramaic.
Lords Prayer, from the original Aramaic
Translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz in Prayers of the Cosmos
O Birther! Father- Mother of the Cosmos
Focus your light within us - make it useful. Create your reign of unity now- through our fiery hearts and willing hands help us love beyond our ideals and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures. Animate the earth within us: we then feel the Wisdom underneath supporting all.
Untangle the knots within so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each other.
Don't let surface things delude us, but free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.
Out of you, the astonishing fire, returning light and sound to the cosmos.
Amen.
