Ngéndï døningt tube takeld i kïða, a elïn ta kï kumtag kï kïða.
Lon deg þãin awïn kï lo þa kàdt ye, ngahn lo mad kï todïla kam døning Sinëart, na høn londï tit.
Elïn na anan: Ad j'awïn, j'ørrïn brik, na kï tïngan kam purrt. Brik gan ne goot mbal, na bitum gan ne goot simã.
Elïn gog tø anan: Ad j'awïn, kï ðan þebo mad kï kuj mad kïngal'n døa a ød dørã, kad tøjko døt, kïtøkad tïnda tîjïn kø dø døningt kïtaagbe al.
Taa ne, Bïraþe ðisï kïtø koo þebo kï kuj kïngal kïdõ'n ngan Adam ðan,
na Bïraþe el an: Oon, în girrdeg kïkïðabe, na takeld i kïða tø. Na nya 'nten la mbãgirr ða ye. Tajigla nya mad kï køgd dø tølkon nya'n ndan kamdt kad ðan goto.
Ad kï ðisï, j'aw kï bur takeld, kad oon dø ta lo na al.
Titbe la Bïraþe tïnda tîdïn dø døningt kïtaagbe, ad nyan ta ða þebo.
Kïtø 'nten la kunïn ne tø lo'n non Babel ye, kïtø nõbe la Bïraþe bur takel ngéndï døningt kïtaagbe nat. Na i nõbe ho la Bïraþe tïnda deg tîd dø døningt kïtaagbe ye.
