Samoan Prayer
Lo matou Tamä e,
Oi le lagi, ia paia lou suafa. Ia o’o mai lou malo. Ia faia lou finagalo, i le lalolagi e pei ona faia i le lagi. Ia e foa’i mai ia te’i matou i le aso nei a matou mea’ai e tatau ma le aso. Ia e fa’amagalo ia te’i matou ia matou agasala, e pei ona matou fo’i ona matou fa’amagaloina atu i e ua agaleaga mai ia te’i matou. Aua fo’i e te ta’ita’iina i matou i le fa’aosoosoga, a ia e lavea’i ia i matou ai le leaga. Auä e ou le malo, ma le mana, atoa ma le viiga, e faavavau lava.
Amen.
