Dage, bagenda nindulah ertoto:

O bapa kami si i Surga
Terpujilah gelarndu si Badia
Rehlah min KinirajanNdu
Sehlah min peratenNdu i doni enda bagi i Surga
Bereken min man kami nakan cukup ibas wari si sendah enda
Alemi min salah kami bagi ialemi kami salah kalak kempak kami.
Ula min kami ibaba kam ku bas percuban tapi pulahi min kami ibas si jahat nari.
(Sabap kam kap si mada Kinirajan ras Kuasa ras Kemulian si ndeka-ndekahna. Amin.)
