Prayers (Molitve) in English / Serbian

The following information was taken from a 1941 Srpska Crkva Kalendar (Serbian Church Calendar).

The information in Serbian was originally written in Cyrillic, but since I do not have the Cyrillic script on my computer, I translated the following into the latinica alphabet.
(Kalendar Srpska Crkva za Prostu godinu 1941 - poklon Americhkim Srbima--Izdanje Srpske Pravoslavne Eparihije: 1236 North Dearborn Street, Chicago.)

Lord's Prayer. English

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Our Father, who art in Heaven!
Hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on 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.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Now and ever, and unto the ages of the ages, Amen.

Lord's Prayer. Serbian

Molitva Gospodnja
Vo imja Oca, i Sina, i Svjatago Duha, Amin.

Oce nash, izhe jesi na nebesjeh!
Da svjatitsja imja Tvoje;
Da pridet carstvije Tvoje;
Da budet volja Tvoja,
Jako na nebesi i na zemlji;
Hleb nash nasushni dazd nam dnes;
I ostavi nam dolgi nashja
Jakozhe i mi ostavljajem dolzhnikom nashim;
I nevovedi nas vo iskushenije;
No izbavi nas ot lukavago.
Jako Tvoje jest Carstvo i sila i slava,
Oca i Sina, i svjatoga Duha, ninje i prisno
i vo vjeki vjekov, Amin.

Greeting to the Holy Virgin

Hail, O virgin Birth-giver of the Lord! Mary full of grace,
the Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
For thou has born the Savior of our souls.

Greetings to the Holy Virgin (Serbian: Molitva presvetoj Bogorodici)

(I remember by dear Baba Andja Mamula saying this every night with me)

Bogorodice Djevo, radujsja
Blagodatnaja Marije
Gospod s Toboju,
Blagoslovena ti v zhenah,
I blagosloven plod chreva Tvojego,
Jako Spasa rodila jesi dush nashih.
