The Babel Text in Fortunatian.
1: Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
Iam cunta tor at fox una rymba ot communau diquen.
2: As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled
there.
Omnex mobendes y'rion fsaux an ymben caf fy Xinar ot an deduct fy roc.
3: They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them
thoroughly" They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
Fsaux an dict y fsaux, "Ajto, ratra ryct do huact ot forcoct." Fsaux
an huaurmat ratra'b fochax ot fic ripyda'b arenat.
4: Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower
that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves
and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
Nunc fsaux an dict "Ajto, nauch fsur ryct do edyhuycat, ko tur fsa
pich at ten n'urat, yt naux badax fox nomn y naux ot naun ban fsax
cha huaqui do cunta tor.
5: But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men
were building.
Xod Er at decxex yt fsau bat fsa fsur ot fsa tur fsax pin omnex xorn
edyhuycat.
6: The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they
have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be
impossible for them."
Er at dict "Xi pan fofrau diquentex communa rymba fsaux xorn queft
fsau huaquien, nir fsau pich an caufxirat huact ban os yfosybraux y
naux."
7: "Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not
understand each other."
"Aj, naux ryct do decxex ot badax caufux fsaur rymba yt fsaux ban
caufrex fsaux."
8: So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they
stopped building the city.
Yjtyr Er an fsax fsaux ab yb cha cunta tor ot fsaux an ques edyhuycat
fsur.
9: That is why it was called Babel -- because there the Lord confused
the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them
over the face of the whole earth.
Causad omnex an nomnat Babel – causad fy roc Er at caufux rymba do
cunt tor. E'b Er at fsax fsaux cha huaqui do cunta tor.
