An old religious couple prepare to unite with each other. They make the following prayer: [1]

"We are thankful [2] for bodily beauty [3]: May it always stay with us.
We are thankful for the sun: It gives us good weather.
We are thankful for the fire: It allows us to avoid the path of ruin.
We are thankful for the harvest: It gives us fertility.
We are thankful for the moon: At night it gives us good weather.
We are thankful for the water: Without it, we would die.
We are thankful for wind: It provides ships with suitable weather.
We are thankful for trees: They give us shade.
We are thankful for virtue: It gives us luck.
We are thankful for beauty: We hope it will bring us a child. [4]

We pray to go on a journey.
We start to make love to each other.
The man makes love to the woman [5].
The girl makes love to the man.
We hope to bring luck unto ourselves.
Today as well as tomorrow. Amen."

[1] Was: "They build hope." irr. changed it because it didn't make a sensible transition to the direct speech, and the source language appeared to consider "hope" and "pray" to be closely related concepts.
[2] Was: "We are lords of ...", which made absolutely no sense. Creative license to the rescue!
[3] Was: "beautiful breasts". Since the prayer is spoken by a mixed couple,
[4] Was: "We hope it will bring that thin person into our possession." WTF?
[5] Was: "girl". Since the two participants both appear to be old, though, irr. went for a more age-neutral word.

Translator's Notes

  1. This is somewhat ungrammatical because the subject is 1st person inclusive plural, which includes the 2nd person, but the object is 2nd person.
  2. Liktyar remains untranslated, being a rendering of the Twisspraak word.

There are some other oddities that probably wouldn't occur in a native text.

hile mikuvus liri akunjañ i haya e lerowi
hile mikuvus lire mile hilolan himundruk kandenarale ri çombala amut
hile mikuvus liri yuno kaç re çopur ukumim
mirinju tandile añolole re foyayan ondreni
mirinju e yangaye re yarumek ripani
mirinju angeçe re vele amuluñi
mirinju liri ambinda, liri kavan acarek
mirundandru niluçmim vara miçura çehamale re ahan analan

endo çender kaçuma yawupan çendereni sinut
endo çender sinut yawupan çendereni kaçuma
endo nila imindato tayanju yuno pehanaçni ri curata
