THE LORD'S PRAYER
MOTA. (New Hebrides.)
Mama avunana nasasama ni rono. Nom o marana ni mule ma. Nom o maros ni lai alalanana tama avunana. Le ma qarig mun kamam o sinaga we tira ape qarig. Ka nomvitag napugumam, tama ikamam we nomvitag napugara. Nipea ukeukeg kamam ilo galeva; ka lav kamam nan o gaganor. Anoma o marana, wa o mana, wa o lenas, ti toga ti toga. Amen.

Oi ai emai dika ba koauatao, ai bamona, idia ai hadikamai ai idia edia dika a koauatao. Hedibagani oi ai basi o hakaumai, dika oi ai ba hama- urimai. Madi be, basileia oiemu, siahu oiemu, namo oiemu, baine mia hanaihanai. Amene.
MPONGWE. (Gaboon, W. Africa.)
Reri yazyo yi re g'orowa, ini nyâ nyi ga loanl' orunda. Inlângâ nyâ nyo ga ṽie; ntândiuli yâ yo ga yanjo go ntye ga nte dendo yo g'orowa. Va zue inya si keka zue nlĕnlâ winlâ. Nyeza zue inuani sazyo, ga nte nyeza zue mângi wi nuana zue. Aroanla zue gw'is- yârio, ndo romba zue avila gw'ibe. Kânde ipanginla, nli ngulu, nl'ivenda iyâ egombe zodu. Amĕn.
