The Lord's Prayer in Old English

Fæder ūre, ðū ðē eart on heofonum,
Sī ðīn nama gehālgod.
Tō becume ðīn rice.
Gewurde ðīn willa
On eorþan swā swā on heofonum.
Urne gedægwhamlīcan hlāf syle ūs tōdæg.
And forgyf ūs ūre gyltas,
Swā swā wē forgyfaþ ūrum gyltendum.
And ne gelæd ðū ūs on costnunge, ac alȳs ūs of yfele.
Sōþlice.

[xTheMisfitx]

what is old english?

[Notemug]

@xTheMisfitx The language people spoke in England roughly between 450 and 1100 AD.

[thatguy928]

@Notemug every welshman knows that welsh (cymraeg) was the main language of britain from at least 500 BC to around 1200 AD! this must be the language of the angles. check out alan wilson and baram blackett's work--good stuff

[Notemug]

@thatguy928 As Wikipedia tells us "[b]y the mid-7th century the Angles had pushed the Britons back to the approximate borders of modern Wales"

[MayhemMadnessx]

This sounds like Sauron from The Lord Of The Rings.

[Notemug]

@MayhemMadnessx Check out my other video, the Ring Verse in Old English. :)

@PanchoSkill He needs to lay of the fags, then it will be ok

[hXc232]

@MrGoldenTracks Actually sorry, that's wrong, swa on its own means therefore/so, doubled up denotes correlation, "as in earth, so in heaven"

[hXc232]

@MrGoldenTracks Also/as well

[ChristMarker]

on eorþan swā swā on heofonum = on earth as well as in heaven

[ChristMarker]

It's kind of scary that I understood a great deal of it by only being Dane. Old English isn't that distant really.

[thatguy928]

@jinxedx im not saying they didnt. the cymry--what the welsh call themselves--ruled britain since before 500bc until late 1200s when the kings were all massacred. these men spoke welsh, while the german speakers stayed along the coast.

the history of wales is in the place names and the best books describing this are by alan wilson and baram blackett

[jinxedx]

@thatguy928 Angles spoke Germanic

[MrGoldenTracks]

I think everyone wants to know, what does "swa swa" mean

[TheMcfearless123]

AHHHHHHHHH

AHHHH

OH JESUS D:

[thatguy928]

@Notemug wikipedia also speaks of a trojan war around 1200bc which is complete baloney! it happened around 650 bc as mentioned by the welsh and the romans, who btw thought of Aenas as their originator--hence we read the Aeneid today. wikipedia also supports the idea of a greek dark age, which is complete lunacy. archaeologists have decided to duplicate tens of dynasties, extending history back further than it should! really, you have to read alan wilson and baram blacketts works
