From D. J. Radonovich, The Jesus Prayer in Lakota:

“Itancan Iesus Chreest, Cingca Wakan Tanka, onsila miye wahtanis'a.”

Itancan: Chief (Lord)
Iesus Chreest: Jesus Christ
Cingca: Son
Wakan Tanka: Great Mystery (God) (Creator)
onsila: Pity (mercy)
miye: to me
wahtanis'a: a sinner


This is as close as I can come to a good transliteration. I am Slavic, but Lakota adopted.
