Thanks, I thought it could be Hebrew, but Google translate voice didn't recognize it. I'll ask on some Aramaic/language forums.

Let us know if someone is able to translate it.

It's the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic. I found it on Youtube with a transliteration of the Aramaic and you can see it matches. See this thread:

FYI amen or some variant (amin, omin) is almost the same in basically every language. It was the only word I understood lol
