Here is the Lord's Prayer in both languages:

Esperanto version:

Patro nia, kiu estas en la ĉielo,

Via nomo estu sanktigita.

Venu Via regno,

plenumiĝu Via volo,

kiel en la ĉielo, tiel ankaŭ sur la tero.

Nian panon ĉiutagan donu al ni hodiaŭ.

Kaj pardonu al ni niajn ŝuldojn,

kiel ankaŭ ni pardonas al niaj ŝuldantoj.

Kaj ne konduku nin en tenton,

sed liberigu nin de la malbono.

Amen.

Novial version:

Nusen Patre, kel es in siele,

mey vun nome bli sanktifika,

mey vun regno veni;

mey on fa vun volio

kom in siele anke sur tere.

Dona a nus disidi li omnidiali pane,

e pardona a nus nusen ofensos,

kom anke nus pardona a nusen ofensantes,

e non dukte nus en tentatione,

ma liberisa nus fro malu.

Amen.

Famous quotes containing the words language, sample and/or comparison:

“To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words.... Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
