The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)
Gutiska (Gothic)
- Simle ana aírþai aina razda rōdjada warþ.
- þanuh mans iddjēdun in urrun, at land in Sinaiar qēmun, þaruh gastōdun.
- Qēþun du sis misso: 'digam us þāhō halluns (stones) jah brasōn'. þāhōhhalluns swē halluns bruhtēdun,
- Qēþun: 'Timrjaima baúrg miþ kēlikna þammei faírrinniþ himina. Miþ þamma hludam waírþaima, ei ni merjaima and alla aírþa.
- Akei þan dalaþa iddja Frauja saíƕan þo baúrg jah þana kēlikn þoei mans gatimridedun.
- Soh ist aina þiuda jah rodjand aina jah galeika razda, jah ƕa þatei taujand anastodeins ïst. Allos waihtins, þōzei wileina, nu taujan magun.
- Atgaggaima du im jah ungaraíhtjaima þōs razdōs, in þis sik missō fraþjan mahts nï wairþai.
- Frauja eis and alla aírþa mērida, jah gatimrjō baúrgs gaandida.
- In þis baúrgs Babail haítada, untē sa Frauja brahta uswandi, in razdái, sei ana allai aírþai rōdjada warþ, jah þaþrō allans mans mērida ufar allans stadins ana aírþai.
