West Frisian Language - Sample Text

Sample Text

The Lord's prayer, from the Frisian Bible, third edition, published in 1995.

Us Heit yn 'e himel,
lit jo namme hillige wurde,
lit jo keninkryk komme,
lit jo wil dien wurde
op ierde likegoed as yn 'e himel.
Jou ús hjoed ús deistich brea
en ferjou ús ús skulden
sa't wy ús skuldners ek ferjûn hawwe;
en lit ús net yn fersiking komme,
mar ferlos ús fan 'e kweade;
want jowes is it keninkryk
en de krêft
en de hearlikheid
oant yn ivichheid. Amen.

    I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.
