Hail Mary Prayer in Kadazan Language

It's only natural to follow the Our Father prayer with another beautiful prayer for intercession by our Holy Mother. The prayer is extracted from the Holy Bible passage of Luke 1:28-35, 42-48.

English Version

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Kadazan version

Ave Maria, noponu ko do grasia.
Miampai Diau ii Kinoingan
Obitua ko di tanga do soviavi tondu,
Om obitua ii tuva tinan Nu,
Jesus
Sangti Maria, Tina di Kinoingan,
Pokinsianai zikoi no ii tuhun momidouso,
Do baino om jam kapatazon za
Amen

Our Father Prayer in Kadazan Language

We pray the prayer that was taught to us by Jesus in Kadazan during mass obviously since the mass is conducted in "Bahasa Kadazan". For those of you wondering what language this is, simply put it's a language used by the Kadazan, an indigenous race in Sabah (North Borneo). The way we pronounce it is simple syllable as in TA - taa and ...MA-maa. Here's the prayer that most Christian in the world cite;

Our Father

"Our Father in Heaven,

Holy be your Name,

Your Kingdom come,

Your Will be Done,

On Earth as it is in Heaven,

Give us today our daily Bread,

Forgive us our Sins,

As we forgive those who sinned against us,

Do not bring us to the Test,

But deliver us from Evil."

Amen

Here's the Kadazan version.. it correspond from line per line as the english version..

Tama Za

"Tama Za doid Surga,

Apantang no da o Ngaan Nu,

Koikot no da Kopomolintaan Nu,

Kandak Nu, adadi no da doid tana miaga doid Surga,

Patako dagai do tadau diti,

Takonan zaa do tikid tadau,

Pohionggo zikoi do Douso zaa,

Miaga dagai popohiong ii papakaus dagai

Aada zikoi ovito doid kambazatan,

Katapi posoduo zikoi no mantad kalaatan."

Amen

Our fledging sub-Parish is in the Net

Shalom my brothers and sisters in Christ. This blog will hopefully chronicle the activities of little known sub-parish of Our Lady Queen of Peace (OLQP), Kobusak. We are part of St. Paul's parish of Penampang district of the state of Sabah in Malaysia. We solemnly pray that this can ignite the fire of the holy spirit inside each and everyone of us and shed a light of Christ's love for us all.

Amen.
