Ami Aman
The Lord's Prayer in Tetum Dili* - Eastern Tetun
[edit]- Ami Aman, iha lalehan,
- Tulun ema atu hahí Ita Naran;
- Halo Ita Nia reinu to’o mai ami;
- Haraik tulun ba ema atu tuir Ita Nia hakarak
- Iha rai nu’udar iha lalehan.
- Ohin Ne’e, Haraik ai-han lor-loron nian mai ami;
- Haraik perdua mai ami salan
- Nu’udar ami perdua ba ema halo aat ami;
- Labele husik ami monu ba tentasaun,
- Maibé hasai ami hosi buat aat.
The Lord's Prayer in Tetun Atambua Belu** - Western Tetun
[edit]- Amin Ama, iha lale'an,
- Ami husu ema hotu-hotu, atu naluli Itakan Naran;
- Itakan Fohorai atu mai;
- Itakan hakara dadi ba!
- Iha raiklaran nu’udar iha lale'an.
- Ami husu, Ita ohin atu fo ba ami: Amikan han loro-loron nian;
- No Ita atu fo perdua ba ami
- Oin nu’udar ami mos fo perdua ba ema, nebe nasusar ami;
- No Ita atu daka ami, iha maufinu laran,
- Ami keta halo sala, no Ita atu sori ami hosi at.
- (*)Based from Eastern Tetun of Samoro (Soibada) Kingdom in East Timor.
- (**)Liturgically, this Tetunbelu or Western Tetun, taken from Formal Tetun of Fialaran Kingdom (North Belu Kingdom), by Father Adrianus Mathysen, SJ, during his pastoral working in Lahurus, since 1886. And we could say that the Tetun in Dili now based by Samoro-Soibada's Tetun dan Tetun Atambua now, is based from Fialaran-Lahurus Tetun. We should now that liturgically, Catholic Church in East Timor doesn't use Viqueques Tetun but Samoro-Soibada's Tetun; and Catholic Church in West Timor doesn't use Wehalis Tetun, but Fialaran-Lahurus Tetun.
