Your           kingdom come
TSINE       BIA           AGA

Your        will                          be            done
TSINE     NGBAGITSIMO  LOYEKE  AGARA  

On      earth     as it is          in      heaven
NA     SESE      TOGANA   NA    YAYU

Give            us    today     our          daily                     bread
