Topic: Jesus Prayer in Russian

[troy]

Can anyone provide me with a transliteration of the Jesus prayer in Russian?

Thanks for your time,

Not Russian, but Slavonic:

Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Боже, помилуй мя, грешнаго.

If you are female, replace the last word with грешную.

Update: I noticed that you asked for a transliteration:

Gospodi Iisuse Khriste, Syne Bozhe, pomiluj mja, greshnago/greshnuju. (Yarr, it's difficult to transliterate on the fly when one is used to touch-typing with the Russian keyboard. And "j" is pronounced like an English consonantal "y".)

I don't know about wnyone else, but I'd be interested (out of pure curiosity, but I love languages) in seeing what the Jesus Prayer looks like in various languages. In case anyone else would agree, I'll give the Romanian version below:

Doamne Iisuse Hristoase, Fiul lui Dumnezeu, miluieşte-mă pe mine păcătosul.

You pronounce every vowel in a 'pure' form (rather like Italian) and ş is pronounced like 'sh' while ă is like the 'a' in about.

I hope somebody else posts another language. If not, sorry for the aside.

Thank you both very much! I agree with jmbedjl that it would be really neat to know the prayer in multiple languages.

Spanish:

Señor Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios, ten piedad de mí, el pecador.

Latin:

Domine Iesu Christe, Filius Dei, misereaturme, peccato.

Greek (transliterated):

Kyrie Iesou Christe, Yie Theou, eleisonme, ton amartolon.
