ngaKaramojong Prayer

Yesterday at our language lesson, Rose taught Erika and I a simple prayer we can say if we come across someone who is sick or injured. It will take a lot of practice to memorize this (and, as Martha said, one missionary trick is to read prayers off index cards, because everyone closes their eyes during a prayer so you can get away with reading!). But I would like to try to memorize the whole thing.

Akuj Papa, ikilakara ainakin isua ngiboro daadang.
Ikilakara akiboi kaapei akilip ekonikiro.
Akuj Papa - kitangaleo ngikonei kosi.
Ka kidara ikes toyakaun kaapei ka isua akimor akiroit kon.
Papa Akuj, kotere erauni ekiro kon ngolo apolon nooi alotooma isua ikilipi jui jui.
Ngona ikilip isua kira iyong!
Agogong kapedori daadang ebunit a neni kon.
 Iyong Papa Akuj ipolo ngooi.
A lokiro a Yesu Kristo Ekapolon yok. Amen.

Father God, we thank You for all things.
We thank you that we are here together.
We pray in your name Father God, heal our friends.
Keep them so that they may be with us to share your Word.
Father God, we pray always that your name, which is very great, will be in us.
Hear what we pray!
All strength and power come from you.
Father God, you are very great.
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
