Our
Father, who art in Heaven, Amen. |
In the 50s, Tolkien made a series of translations of Catholic prayers into Quenya, including the Pater noster. The rendition of the latter was evidently of importance to him since he wrote no less than six versions. All were published and commented in Vinyar Tengwar n° 43. We here give the final version ("Átaremma VI"), edited for the punctuation.
The translation is a traditional English version from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.
