I've never heard this before! How beautiful and layered with so much more than the summary of that we use in English.

This is a poetic interpretation of the Aramaic. I wouldn’t confuse it with being more “authentic.” I found it here. https://www.thenazareneway.com/lords_prayer.htm

As an example, the word translated as “O Thou from whom the breath of life comes” is “Abwun” This is the word “av” —Aramaic for “father” with the suffix “wun” which indicates the third person possessive “our.” A literal translation is “Our Father.” “O Thou from whom the breath of life comes” is lovely. But it’s a poetic interpretation, not a translation.

Looks like from what I’m reading in that link can be interpreted in several ways, all similar, with the context, very interesting. Main message is the same in the end, so that’s important!

Yes. I called it a "poetic interpretation" but if you prefer "energetic translation," that makes sense to me too.
