That (in an archaic version :-)) says
Our mother in heaven (lit. "divine abode")
Let your name be made holy (Uses future tense with the imperative)
Let your authority come (lit. "authority of a leader; also those that
     are under the authority thereof"; at the time, the closest
     equivalent to kingdom I could think of)
Let all that you want be done, here as in heaven ("divine abode")
Give us today our bread for the day
And forgive us our sins
In the same way as we forgive those who sin against us
And do not lead us into temptation
But deliver us from destruction
Yours is the authority, the power, and the glory, forever
Amen
