The Lords Prayer in Cherokee



Our Father, heaven dweller,

Ga-lv-quo-di-yu GE-se-s-di de-tsa-do-v-I
My loving will be (to) Thy name.

Tsa-gv-WI-yu-hi GE-sv WI-Ga-na-nu-go-I
Your Lordship let it make its appearance.

A-in-e-lo-hi WI-tsi-Ga-li-s-DA ha-DA-NV-te-s-gv-I
Here upon earth let happen what you think,

Na-s-GI-ya Ga-lv-la-di tsi-in-Ga-li-s-di-ha
The same as in heaven is done.

In-DA-do-DA-qui-sv o-Ga-li-s-DA-yv-di s-GI-v-is go-hi-I-Ga
Daily our food give to us this day.

Di-GE-s-GI-v-is-quo-no de-s-GI-du-gv-I
Forgive us our debts,

Na-s-GI-ya tsi-di-Ga-yo-tsi-na-ho tso-tsi-du-GI
The same as we forgive our debtors,

A-Le tla-s-di u-DA-go-Le-ye-di-yi GE-sv WI-di-s-GI-ya-it-NV-s-at-NV-GI
And do not temptation being lead us into,

S-GI-yu-DA-Le-s-GE-s-di-quo-s-GI-in u-yo GE-sv-I
Deliver us from evil existing.

Tsa-tse-li-Ga-ye-no tsa-gv-WI-yu-hi GE-sv-I
For thine your Lordship is,

A-Le tsa-li-in-GI-di-yi GE-sv-I
And the power is,

A-Le e-tsa-lv-quo-di-yu GE-sv in-go-hi-lv-I
And the glory is forever.

E men
Amen.
