Ond means evil, you're confusing it with ånd.

Indeed. I should really study some Bokmål.

God's chosen language.

You don't like Nynorsk?

It's a joke lol. I am from Bergen, of course I like Nynorsk.

Lol. I thought there might be some political disputes whether Bokmål or Nynorsks is more authentically Norwegian or something.

I'm sure most people are aware that Nynorsk has a historical connection to Old Norwegian, and Bokmål is simply a Norwegian variant of Danish. But a large majority of the population use Bokmål and teach it in school (even in many of the regions it is declared as "official" in, like Hordaland). Despite both being official languages of Norway Bokmål is, in all honesty, the more useful/powerful one.

Thanks Danmark.

There aren't any Nationalist parties or groups who would like to get rid of Bokmål or otherwise prefer Nynorsk?

[Orthodox11]

I am the leader of such a party. So far I am the only member.

What's it called?

[Gorazd]

Bergen city? It seems to me that the city dialect is extremely cose to Bokmål/Danish, for example using 2 grammatical genders only instead of three.

It is more the nearby countryside that is a stronghold of Nynorsk. Actually, it seems to me that the big problem of Nynorsk is that it lacks an urban center. That is not surprising, since the Danish administration, school system etc. was the most influencial amongst the educated urban population.

Loddefjord, so not the city proper, no. About 10 km from the centre of the city.

We learned Bokmål in school as a first language and Nynorsk also as an "elective". Most people speak Bokmål in and around town, but Nynorsk is still used by a large minority of people, and many commercials and programmes.

[Orthodox11]

and many commercials and programmes.

This is the real deal :p

[Michał Kalina]

Ojcze nasz, któryś jest w niebie święć się imię Twoje; przyjdź królestwo Twoje; bądź wola Twoja jako w niebie tak i na ziemi; chleba naszego powszedniego daj nam dzisiaj; i odpuść nam nasze winy, jako i my odpuszczamy naszym winowajcom; i nie wódź nas na pokuszenie; ale nas zbaw od złego.
Albowiem Twoje jest Królestwo, i moc, i chwała na wieki wieków. Amen.


Ойча наш, Які ёсць на нябёсах, няхай свяціцца імя Тваё, няхай прыйдзе Царства Тваё, няхай будзе воля Твая як на небе, так і на зямлі.
Хлеб наш надзённы дай нам сёння; і даруй нам даўгі нашы, як і мы даруем даўжнікам нашым; і не ўвядзі нас у спакусу, але збаў нас ад злога.
Бо Тваё ёсць Царства, і сіла, і слава, Айца, і Сына, і Святога Духа, цяпер, і заўсёды, і на векі вякоў. Амінь.

Why to defend such particularist deviations?

Beardless priests are an ancient Latin tradition.

[Cyrillic]

Our Father

Dutch:


    Onze Vader die in de hemel zijt,
    Uw naam worde geheiligd.
    Uw koninkrijk kome.
    Uw wil geschiede, op aarde zoals in de hemel.
    Geef ons heden ons dagelijks brood.
    En vergeef ons onze schulden
    zoals ook wij onze schuldenaars vergeven.
    En leid ons niet in verzoeking,
    maar verlos ons van de boze.
    Want van U is het koninkrijk
    en de kracht en de heerlijkheid
    in eeuwigheid. Amen.

The Lord's Prayers

Отче наш

Отче наш, що єси на небесах!
Нехай святиться Ім'я Твоє,
Нехай прийде Царство Твоє,
Нехай буде воля Твоя,
Як на небі, так і на землі.
Хліб наш насущний дай нам сьогодні.
І прости нам провини наші, як і ми прощаємо винуватцям нашим.
І не введи нас у спокусу, але визволи нас від лукавого.
Бо Твоє є царство, і сила, і слава нині і повсякчас і навіки вічні.
Амінь!

Liza, do you pray like this, or do you say Slavonic version?

[Frederic]

Our Father

French :

Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié,
Que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel,
Donne nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour,
Et pardonne nous nos offenses,
Comme nous pardonnons a ceux qui nous ont offensé,
Et ne nous soumets pas a la tentation,
Mais délivre nous du mal. Amen.

In our parish, we dislike the ecumenical version. We use this version:

Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que Ton Nom soit sanctifié,
Que Ton Règne arrive,
Que Ta Volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd’hui notre pain substantiel,
Et remets-nous nos dettes comme nous remettons à nos débiteurs,
Et ne nous soumets pas à l’épreuve,
Mais délivre-nous du Malin.
Amen.

[Arachne]

Greek (yeah, obvious, but since nobody has posted it yet):
Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς
ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου
ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου
γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου,
ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον
καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφελήματα ἡμῶν,
ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,
ἀλλὰ ρῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
Aμήν.

(Transliteration:
Pater hēmōn, ho en tois ouranois
hagiasthētō to onoma sou;
elthetō hē basileia sou;
genethetō to thelēma sou
hōs en ouranōi, kai epi tēs gēs;
ton arton hēmōn ton epiousion dos hēmin sēmeron;
kai aphes hēmin ta opheilēmata hēmōn,
hōs kai hēmeis aphiemen tois opheiletais hēmōn;
kai mē eisenenkēis hēmas eis peirasmon,
alla rhusai hēmas apo tou ponērou.
Amēn.)

Scots Gaelic:
Ar n-Athair a tha air nèamh,
Gu naomhaichear d'ainm.
Thigeadh do rìoghachd.
Dèanar do thoil air an talamh, mar a nithear air nèamh.
Tabhair dhuinn an-diugh ar n-aran làitheil.
Agus maith dhuinn ar fiachan, amhail a mhaitheas sinne dar luchd-fiach.
Agus na leig ann am buaireadh sinn; ach saor sinn o olc:
oir is leatsa an rìoghachd, agus an cumhachd, agus a' ghlòir, gu siorraidh.
Amen.

Irish Gaelic:
Ár n-Athair atá ar neamh,
Go naofar d'ainim,
Go dtagfadh do ríocht,
Go ndéantar do thoil ar an talamh
mar a dhéantar ar neamh.
Ár n-arán laethúil tabhair dúinn inniu,
agus maith dúinn ár bhfiacha
mar a mhaithimidne dár bhféichiúna féin
Amen.

Welsh:
Ein Tad yn y nefoedd,
sancteiddier dy enw;
deled dy deyrnas;
gwneler dy ewyllys,
ar y ddaear fel yn y nef.
Dyro inni heddiw ein bara beunyddiol;
a maddau inni ein troseddau,
fel yr ŷm ni wedi maddau i'r rhai a droseddodd yn ein herbyn;
a phaid â'n dwyn i brawf,
ond gwared ni rhag yr Un drwg.
Amen.

[biro]

Awww, that's beautiful.    

[DuxI]

"Our Father" in Macedonian:

Оче наш, кој си на небесата,
да се свети името Твое,
да дојде царството Твое,
да биде волјата Твоја,
како на небото, така и на земјата;
лебот наш насушен дај ни го денес
и прости ни ги долговите наши
како и ние што им ги проштеваме на нашите должници;
и не нè воведувај во искушение,
но избави нè од лукавиот.

[Cyrillic]

(Transliteration:
Pater hēmōn, ho en tois ouranois
hagiasthētō to onoma sou;
elthetō hē basileia sou;
genethetō to thelēma sou
hōs en ouranōi, kai epi tēs gēs;
ton arton hēmōn ton epiousion dos hēmin sēmeron;
kai aphes hēmin ta opheilēmata hēmōn,
hōs kai hēmeis aphiemen tois opheiletais hēmōn;
kai mē eisenenkēis hēmas eis peirasmon,
alla rhusai hēmas apo tou ponērou.
Amēn.)

Interesting pronunciation for a native Greek.

Not mine, obviously. But (marginally) better than the Erasmian abominations that pass for 'authentic pronunciation' at many foreign universities.

It's horrible. The accent is overwhelming even if you wouldn't mind the Erasmian pronunciation.

[dzheremi]

At first I thought you were being kind of mean, Cyrillic...then I listened to it. Wow. I don't speak any form of Greek, but no...that was just...no.

Naw.

The REAL thing.

I just played this to my wife, she's asking if it's possible to sue for libel.

The Lord's Prayers

Отче наш

Отче наш, що єси на небесах!
Нехай святиться Ім'я Твоє,
Нехай прийде Царство Твоє,
Нехай буде воля Твоя,
Як на небі, так і на землі.
Хліб наш насущний дай нам сьогодні.
І прости нам провини наші, як і ми прощаємо винуватцям нашим.
І не введи нас у спокусу, але визволи нас від лукавого.
Бо Твоє є царство, і сила, і слава нині і повсякчас і навіки вічні.
Амінь!

Liza, do you pray like this, or do you say Slavonic version?

I pray in Ukrainian.

[Tommelomsky]

I pray in Norwegian, but plan to somehow learn to pray in English as well, at some point.
The ultimate dream-goal is to pray daily in Russian-Church Slavonic (if God wills it).

[Michał Kalina]

What's wrong with praying in Norwegian?

I suppose you will be among the small group of people that prays in Russian. Why?

[Tommelomsky]

Im a strange person.
Edit: on a more serious note, I am a member of the russian church now and it feels more natural to understand/speak and have a relationship to the language.

[Michał Kalina]

I would be surprised that there are more than a couple of Russian churches that use Russian in services. I know about 2.

[Tommelomsky]

Church slavonic is though what I mostly have in mind. But it might take a while to learn that.

Looks like Elvish.

Amharic?
