El Padre Nuestro is the prayer Jesus taught, as Spanish-speaking Christians have prayed it for centuries. This is the Scripture text itself, Matthew 6:9-13 in the Reina-Valera, line by line with the English.
Pray it slowly, one line in Spanish and the same line in English, until the Spanish alone carries the prayer. A real voice reads every line below, with a slow version for learning.

Is this the Catholic or Protestant version?+
This is the Bible text itself, Matthew 6:9-13 from the Reina-Valera, the translation used across Spanish-speaking Protestant churches. The traditional liturgical Padre Nuestro differs slightly in wording, the way the spoken Lord's Prayer differs slightly from the King James text in English.
