Sample text (The Lord's Prayer - Luke 11: 2-4)
Nakuami Yesu lako: Iake massambayangkomi, la mikua: O Ambe’ki, kipalaku anna dipakala’bi’ tu sangamMi, anna patalo tu ParentaMi,
Benkanni tu silasanna kikande keallo-keallo.
Sia pa’dei tu sala-budangki, belanna kami duka umpagarri’ salana mintu’ to kasalan lako kaleki. Sia da Mielorangkan diroso.
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
