I ran across this direct translation of the Lord's Prayer from Aramaic to English (instead of from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to English) and just wanted to share it since one of my many projects lately has been going back to the example of Jeshua (Jesus' given name in Hebrew) and the life of love he led. Not the dogma. Not the religion the church made of him, but the example and the wisdom shared in the language they were shared in without any of the multiple translation errors that ended up in the King James version of the bible.
As many of you may know, I (and many others like me --- old souls who have been burned more than once or killed, maimed, and tortured in past lives for speaking our truth) had a real problem with the teacher & ascended master of "Jesus" since I had a real problem with organized religion of any flavor. Making peace with Jeshua or Sananda was very difficult for me and a very big deal when my issues w/ this particular teacher surfaced during a series of meditation classes on Opening to the Divine. (See the Resources for Staying on Your Path section of my book for more information on those classes.) While working through those issues I learned that a lot of old souls or those whose beliefs tend more towards the unconventional, such as Wiccans, Pagans, and other "Earth Religion" folks have a similar problem with organized religion and this particular teacher specifically. There were a lot of heart issues involved there, and this particular teacher is about living in your heart so to work with the energy from this teacher, you've got to work it all through ---- and be able to get to forgiveness of the people (not the actions) on the other side. Anyway, I could say a lot more about just that aspect of my own growth work, and there have been a lot of books written about forgiveness and how it's necessary to your own healing. (See Louise Hay's books for starters.)
What many seem to forget is that Jeshua was Jewish and his native tongue was Aramaic. Not Syrian Aramaic, but ancient Aramaic which is even older and even predates Hebrew. Yes, he probably spoke Latin and Greek as well as since most Rabbi's did (not to mention that Rabbi's are required to be married, but that's another bone). ;> Anyway, here's the translation --- it's quite different and more in line with a much larger view of this teacher of love.

Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes, who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.
May your light be experienced in my utmost holiest. Your Heavenly Domain approaches.
Let your will come true - in the universe (all that vibrates) just as on earth (that is material and dense).
Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need, detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma) like we let go the guilt of others.
Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations), but let us be freed from that what keeps us from our true purpose.
From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.Quite a bit different, wouldn't you agree? From that translation, the teacher sounds much more like a "lightworker" than anything else. ;>
Sealed in trust, faith and truth. (I confirm with my entire being)
