| Native American Lord's Prayer |
|
| |
I guess I am feeling some of my Native American roots. On my father side I come from the Crow tribe. A story pass down my family is that my third Great Grandfather was chief of The Crow Tribe I have thirty second part Native in me. So Native Americans have a part of my love.And The Lord Our Father In Heaven has all my love. I am sorry all other loves comes in second.
Did you know what the first Bible America's was? Come on do you know? Really know? The first Bible in America was not the King James Bible sorry! It was not in English,but the Algonquin Native American language,was the language of America's first Bible. John Eliot,colonial pastor and "apostle to the Native Americans,"publish his Algonquin Bible in 1662.At that time,law required that all English Bibles be printed in England.
CHINOOK LORD'S PRAYER
Nesika papa klaksta mitlite kopa saghalie
Our Father Who dwells on High
Kloshe kopa nesika tumtum mika nem.
Good for our hearts Your Name.
Kloske mika tyee kopa konaway tillikum;
Good you Chief of all people;
Kloshe mika tumtum kopa illahee kahkwa kopa saghalie;
Good Your heart to make our country such as Yours
up above;
Potlatch konaway sun nesika muckamuck,
Give us all days our food,
Pee kopet-kumtux donaway nesika mesachie,
And stop remembering all our sins we make to them,
Kahkwa nesilka mamook kopa klasksta spose mamook
mesachie kopa nesia;
As we suppose not their sin against us;
Mahah siah kopa nesika konaway mesachie.
Throw far away from us all evil.
Kloshe kahkwa.
Amen.
What more can I say In any language Our Father is Lord of All! God Bless You All,
Doyle. |

| Wouldn't the first Bible in America be Latin, since a Benedictine priest and three Franciscan friars came with Colombus on his second voyage? |
