My prayer would be that they all !$%^$^^!! off.

Here it is :

"Da Loard's Prayer"

Fedder up abön, dy name is holy.

We bow wirsels afore dee.

May du aye regin among wis;

may dy wyes aye be wir wyes.

Gie wis dis day da meat we need.

Forgie da ills wir dön

as we forgie ills dön ta wis.

Dunna mak life fir wis a trachle

bit save wis fae da soaroo.

Seriously, is this how a Shetlander would say his prayer before going to bed?

 

Does this Bible include a Glossary list?

^^ Its very probably one option, but it doesn't come off as very great to me.

 

Very roughly off the top of the head, I'd go with....

 

Wir fedder it bides a heevin

Weel tocht o is dy nem

Dy wyes ir cummin

Dine sall be dun upoa da face a dis aert,

Da sam is he's dun a heevin

Gie ta wis dis dae da staur a maet we need ta live

Dunna hadd hit ower wis whin we duh faut

Da sam wye is we dunna hadd it ower dem it does faut ta wis

Dunna led wis a blak-gaet

Bit keep wis fae aw its rang

Fur dy wyes ir da richt wyes, wi aw da pooer and da gud strent, alwys and alwys, Amen.
