The Lord's Prayer, in the Cherokee language.
"Ogidoda galvlati hehi
galvquodiyu gesesdi detsado-v-i
tsagvwiyuhi gesv widananugo-i
ani elohi winigalisda hadnvdesgv-i
nasgiquu galvlati tsinigalisdiha
Nidadodaquisv ogalisdayvdi sgi-vsi kohi iga
Digesgi vsquono desgidigv-i
nasgiquu tsdigayotsinege tsotsidugi
Ale tlesdi udagoliyediyi gesv
widisgi quudinvstanvgi
sgiyudalesgesdiquosgini uyo gesv-i
Tsatselisyeno tsgviwihu gesv-i
ale tsalinigidiyi gesv-i
ale etsalvquodiyu gesv nigohilv-i
AHO."
Our father, in heaven you dwell
sacred shall be your name.
Your leadership it shall come
here on earth your command shall be done
as even in heaven your command is done.
provide to us our food today.
forgive us our wrongs
the same as we forgive those who wrong us.
and do not lead us into temptation
save us from evil that exists
Your leadership is,
and your power is,
and your sacredness is forever.
Amen."
Another, slightly differing version of the same prayer.
