Yeavering: Lord's Prayer in Old English
Why not have a go at reading Old English? Here we have a transcript of the Lord's prayer in Old English, just like
the one Paulinus was saying to his audience in Yeavering.
|
Fęder ure,
žu že eart on heofonum,
si žin nama gehalgod.
Tobecume žin rice.
Gewurže šin willa on eoršan swa swa on heofonum.
Urne gedęghwamlican hlaf syle us to dęg.
And forgyf us ure gyltas, swa swa we forgyfaš urum gyltendum.
And ne gelęd žu us on costnunge,
ac alys us of yfele. Sožlice.

We have also prepared an audio track of Lord's Prayer being recited in Old English as listening to it will help you
understand how to pronounce the letters, which have fallen out of use.
