Below, the Gevey translation of the Babel text, for comment.

Ya ónu drhoedh lese bedhee benanti, ee yuu ónu nac rh'ôidakuu galnesh
rha'kaliede preta.  Zhek lese ëvda potihr de'yuu serh ók, yuu tothav
vosrhatee élhs ïsta'shinaarebz rha'goebuu,  zhec élhs ïsta'blivodee
ós. Élhs élonoti dielatee: "Yuu ciy, zhec kom'buubrhes liâ
stavuu'honee  juudeë ísel óc, ísel nuwee ótuuë." Éebro benatee élhz
dezde'yookuusesh yuu ciy, ee  dezd'êklatpuus yuu shtrog. Dana dielatee
élhs élonoti: "Ye kolhb ísel rhevjanee tas-íses, ée  ïst'ísen
kolhbeks, zhek yuu khlan kom'kuun kivluus lese ëra brolhalta óc, yuu
zecehrh. Ée ísel  ye herh lese smunanee tas-ises; namaki grhizhgine
brav mava'kalieden baashmuuks kilhzho  ísiy."

Jaakra, zhek ëvda sen koyendou de'yuu khlan ók, gluefata ye kolhb ée
yuu zecehrh zhej  zvegdomesh sedee rhevjonti óc. Éepreta jaakra
dielota: "Ya ónu drhoedh lese benee telaan  galnesh, zhek ye ónu galn
ë sen sekalta ók; fe'hahzu sen íhzhakuush yo élen íhzhak sekanue  lese
rhefe. Ca slothana ye telaan kolhb rha'galnesh, ée ca koiglana zhec
yuush fliezh élhz  dhevonee óc ée zhec yuush nac élhz dielonee óc;
éedana na poitanee élhs ye élonon drhoedh."  Éebro jaakra ye ónu galn
grhizhgata mava'kalieden baashmuuks, ée rhevjatee leti nana élhs ye
kolhb va yuu zecehrh. Fine ye Babel herhskathee kolhbe ée zecrhuu ée
galne, tazem de'plenez  drhoedhebzesh klakrhatha ka ya ónu droedh, ée
ye kan galn grhizhgatha ka mava'kalieden baashmuuks.
