In Latin: Et ne nos inducas in tentationem sed libera nos a malo. In English: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. So it is "temptation". The verb "inducas" (induco) = bring in, lead, influence, dress up etc. I understand that we ask God "not to let us be tempted by the Devil". I have heard that the right translation from Greek is "the Evil One". Deliver us from the Evil One.
In (original) eastern aramaic: veal talina lenision (andnot leadus intotemptation) In hebrew: veal tavienu lidei nisaion (andnot leadus into temptation) In greek: kae mê eisenenkês hêmas eis peirasmon (and not lead us into temptation) Here is the problematic word in hebrew נִסָיוֹן - copy and google the definition and here in greek ΠΕΙΡΑΣΜΟΝ Gospels were written in greek with word ΠΕΙΡΑΣΜΟΝ, which has only one definition: temptation.
Now I found the translation where there is "Deliver us from the Evil One." It is New Jerusalem Bible, Matt. 6, 13. It says "test" and not "temptation".
Thank you LittleVoice ! A religious sister said to me that the original language of Jesus (Armenian) says that the Our Father in Armenian talks about the "trial" and not "temptation", but according to your explanation, this is not correct. Now in all flemish churches they pray the Our Father using "do not lead us in trial but deliver us from evil".....
Now when I pray and at the Our Father during Mass I say "And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors", like the words in the Douay-Rheims. There was a message to Pastor Enoch about this. Pastor Enoch's messages are tough not sweet as example, those given Linda Nowskewicz. God is perfectly loving and perfectly just. And notice, often there are prayers for these end times included with many of Pastor's messages. Oh why would they change the original words of the Our Father? + + + ECCLESIASTICAL HIERARCHY, WHY CHANGED THE PRAYER OF OUR FATHER THAT I TAUGHT TO MY DISCIPLES? 6 June 2013 – 8:25 A.M. (a translation) JESUS’, BLESSED SACRAMENT CALL TO THE ECCLESIASTICAL HIERARCHY Peace to you, hierarchs. Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, Why changed the prayer of Our Father that I taught to my disciples? The prayer of Our Father that you are praying today is not the same which I taught to my disciples when they told me: Master teaches us to pray, and I did. Say: "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen" (Mathew 6, 9-13) My flock, the words debts and debtors cover not only your personal and spirituals debts, but also debts of your ancestors and deceased. When you say forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, hint at personal offenses, ignoring your intergenerational line, I mean, thy defunct and ancestors. In the Our Father prayer that I taught to my disciples is manifested Mercy, Love, Forgiveness and the protection of God Father for His children. The Our Father Prayer as you are praying today disregards your forefathers and deceased. When changing the words debts for trespasses and debtors for trespass against us are manipulating and distorting God’s salvation plans. The Our Father prayer as my Father taught to me to be given to His children has liberations power for your souls, your deceased families, and your ancestors if you pray it with faith. It is exorcism prayer that frees you from the attacks of evil one and protects you from his snares; it is also prayer life and nourishment for your spirit. It is prayer of provision not only for corporal food, but the most important the spiritual food that I am. Hierarchs of my church, shepherds of my flock, I ask from my heart to come back to pray the Our Father as my Father taught me, because as you are praying it and teaching to my flock does not have the same value and spiritual power. To change the words debts for trespasses and debtors for trespass against us is lost the merciful and liberating action of Father to His children here on earth, and for the souls of your forefathers and departed into eternity. Our Father prayer with the Creed and the Magnificat are powerful prayers and gather the whole plan of Salvation that my Father has destined for humankind. My peace I leave you, my peace I give you. Repent and convert, for the kingdom of God is near. Thy Teacher and Shepherd, Jesus, Blessed Sacrament. Make known my messages to all humankind. http://www.mensajesdelbuenpastorenoc.org/english.html
I do not know if Enoch is really inspired by God because he first put great doubt when Franciscus became Pope and then, because of critisme towards his message about the Pope, he said this Pope is ok. Before that, when I wrote to him, long ago, he did not want to give the name of his spiritual director (if he has one). All very strange....
Elisa, I love your contributions to MOG. Is Pastor Enoch true? My thing, I don't question the messengers very much because I was converted by a yet to be approved message. We'll see one day. There was a recent message, not Enoch, asking prayers for the Holy Father because he is being hit from within by the evil in the Vatican. I noticed yesterday, in these give to Enoch, of a spiritual mark placed on the faithful during the Great Trib that we will see. This fits other private revelation. "Forgive us our trespasses", maybe is pride, I am use to the "forgive us our debts" now. I don't think I am going to go back to the present Our Father.
