Our honored father in (the) heavens, may it be made holy your hon.name. May
it come your hon.-kingdom, may it work your hon-desire here on earth just as
in heavens.  To us hon-give today our food daily, and hon-pardon our
offenses just as them we pardon, them who us offend.  And may not we suffer
trials, but us hon-protect from evils.  Because to-hon-you hon-kingdom (and)
hon-power (and) hon-glory, in all days (and) ages.  May it be so.

Note the (over)use of the honorific prefix pra- ~par-.
