I had difficulties in Qthyn|gai with the Lord's Prayer as well.  The
engelang nature of the conlang forbids to have 'holy' as an atomic
lexicon entry.

The text goes like this:

  Stàu=kístiu

  Syn|u=ustáqláitaxkiu.

Close translation:

  Our parent
  ----------
  Our parent in heaven, be thy name used benevolently for
  divine purposes only! Be thy kingdom lead/moved to us! Thy will
  ('what thou wantest') be caused to be existent, on earth like in
  heaven! Concerning our bread for the coming/going day, give it to us
  today! Absolve our debts, like also we absolve our debtors! Do not
  lead us into temptation! But instead, free us from evil (lit: 'make
  that we are not constrained (here: threatened) caused by the evil')!
  As reason, in eternity, of thee is [the] kingdom and also power and
  also glory.

You can listen to the prayer, too.  (I admit I sound a bit weird...)
