First we'll do the Aramaic Peshitta's version of the Lord's Prayer. This is the standard version of the New Testament among Aramaic speaking Christians in the Church of the East, Syriac Orthodox Church, and Syriac Maronite Church. It is believed by some (including myself) that this is the original New Testament, or at least the closest to the original. The dialect of the Peshitta is Syriac.

ܬܐܬܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܟ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܐܦ ܒܐܪܥܐ

ܘܠܐ ܬܥܠܢ ܠܢܣܝܘܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܦܨܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܝܠܟ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed by thy name.
Come thy kingdom, be done thy will; as in heaven, so on earth.
Give us the bread of our need this day.
And forgive us our offences, as also we have forgiven those who have offended us.
And bring us not into trial, but deliver us from the evil one. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever."- Matthew 6:9-13, Paul Younan's Aramaic-English Interlinear Gospels
ܐܒܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܩܕܫ ܫܡܟ ܬܐܬܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܐܦ ܒܐܪܥܐ
ܗܒ ܠܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܣܘܢܩܢܢ ܟܠܝܘܡ

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Come your kingdom, be done your will; as in Heaven, so on earth.
Give us the bread of our need everyday.
And forgive us our sins also, for we forgive all who have offended us. And lead us not into trial, but save us from the evil one."- Luke 11:2-4, Paul Younan's Aramaic-English Interlinear Gospels
Next up is the Sinaitic Palimpsest's version of the Lord's Prayer. The Sinaitic Palimpsest is also referred to as the Syriac Sinaiticus. A palimpsest is a manuscript which has been "scratched over" with another writing, in this case a late biography of several female saints. This is believed by many scholars to be the oldest version of the Gospels in Aramaic, but I follow the position that the Syriac Sinaiticus is the product of 4th century Bishop Rabbula, who created this edition of the Gospels for theological and political reasons to replace the Peshitta and Tatian's Diatessaron. This is one of two versions of the Aramaic Gospels that is referred to as the "Old Syriac". Peshitta primacists like myself like to refer to the Sinaitic Palimpsest as the "Old Scratch". This was discovered in the 1800s by Agnes Smith Lewis and her sister, the former later went on to translate this interesting manuscript. Most of this version of the Lord's Prayer is missing.

"Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed by thy name.
And let come..."- Matthew 6:9-10, Agnes Smith Lewis's A Translation of the Four Gospels From the Syriac of the Sinaitic Palimpsest
ܐܒܐ ܢܬܩܕܫ ܫܡܟ ܘܬܐܬܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܟ

"Father, hallowed be thy name, and thy kingdom come.
And give us the continual bread of every day.
And forgive us our sins; and we also, we forgive every one who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation."- Luke 11:2-4, Agnes Smith Lewis's A Translation of the Four Gospels From the Syriac of the Sinaitic Palimpsest
ܐܒܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܩܕܫ ܫܡܟ܂

"Our Father in heaven, thy name be hallowed.
Thy kingdom come. And thy wishes be done in earth as in heaven.
And our continual bread of the day give us.
And forgive us our debts, so that we also may forgive our debtors.
And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One. Because thine is the kingdom and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen."- Matthew 6:9-13, F. Crawford Burkitt's Evangelion da-Mepharreshe: The Curetonian Version of the Four Gospels with the Readings of the Sinai Palimpsest and the Early Syriac Patristic Evidence (Volume 1)

The final version of the Lord's Prayer is a translation from the Greek Gospels into Hebrew by German Christian Hebraist Franz Delitzsch, who created the standard version of the New Testament in Hebrew in the 1800s.
אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָׁמַיִם יִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֶךָ
תָּבֹּא מַלְכוּתֶךָ יֵעָשֶׂה רְצוֹנְךָ כַּאֲשֶׁר בַּשָׁמַיִם גַּם בָּאָרֶץ
אֶת־לֶחֶם חֻקֵּנוּ תֵּן־לָנוּ הַיּוֹם
וּמְחַל־לָנוּ עַל־חֹבוֹתֵינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר מָחַלְנוּ גַּם־אֲנַחְנוּ לְחַיָּבֵינוּ
וְאַל־תְּבִיאֵנוּ לִידֵי נִסָּיוֹן כִּי אִם־תְּחַלְּצֵנוּ מִן־הָרָע ((כִּי לְךָ הַמַּמְלָכָה וְהַגְּבוּרָה וְהַתִּפְאֶרֶת לְעוֹלְמֵי עוֹלָמִים אָמֵן
Avinu shabashamayim yitheqadash shemeka
tava malekuteka ye'asheh retzvaneka casher b'shamayim gam b'aretz
et lekhem huqenu ten lanu ha'yom
v'mekhal lanu al khavutenu casher makhalenu gam anakhenu lekhayavinu
v'el tevienu lide nisyon ci im tekhaletzenu min ha'ra ci leka ha'mamelaka v'ha'gevurah v'ha'tipheret l'evleme olamim amen.
"Our Father, who is in heaven, may your name be sanctified.
May your kingdom come; as your will is done in heaven, may it also be on earth.
Give us the bread that is our allotment today,
and pardon us our debts, as we also have pardoned those indebted to us.
And do not bring us into the hands of testing, but rescue us from what is evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the majesty, forever and ever. Amen."- Matthew 6:9-13, Vine of David's The Delitzsch Hebrew Gospels
