Ko e Lotu 'A e 'Eiki

English translation

The Prayer of the Lord

Ko ʻemau Tamai ʻoku ʻi hevanì,

Our Father who is in heaven

Ke tāpuha Ho huafa.

May your name1be blessed

Ke aʻu mai Hoʻo pule.

May your realm come to pass

Ke fai Ho finangalo ʻi Maamani,

May your will occur on Earth

ʻO hangē ko ia ʻi he langi.

As it is in the sky2

Pea ke foaki mai he ʻaho ni haʻamau meʻakai ki ʻanai

And bring to us this day our daily sustenance

Pea fakamolemole ʻemau ngaahi angahala,

And forgive our wrong doings

ʻO hangē ko ʻemau fakamolemole

As we forgive

ʻA kinautolu kuo fai angahala kia te kimautolu.

Those who do wrong to us

Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻakimautolu ki he ʻahiʻahi,

And do not leave us to the Tempter

Ka e fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he kovi

But redeem us from the evil

He ʻoku ʻoʻou ʻa e pule, pea mo e mālohi, mo e kololià,

For yours is the realm, and the power, and the glory,

ʻO taʻengata pea taʻengata

Unto forever and forever

ʻĒmeni, ʻēmeni.

Amen, amen.
