Random Stuff in Celesiran Languages

I've been working on one specific family of languages in my conworld lately,
and I've got some samples here to share with the group.  These languages are
called Celesiran, after the valley where they are found, Celesír.  The
adjective is Anglicized, but the name of the valley is not.  Then again,
it's also not in their language, but in the language of one of the
neighboring groups whose words are generally very pronounceable for English
speakers, so I tend to use it as a conlang filter for the area.  Anyway, on
to the texts.

  English -- "The river brings many fish to the village, the forest lifts up
red fruit, and the sky bears rain for the wheat - this is a good land."

  Ždava -- "Žlača elba žanor ladnorn gedmora, tura stanasn šlidječan obrana,
jer ača čila višanan na dvanapn - za ž brekuč nŭžda."

  Torantine -- "Gelmäta cela la hanun lacurun, thanäs turu ledein istiantun,
idon hisänun cai danan saita xilia - lo brakos niuza da."

  Razdiat -- "Las zelba zan lathorun gedmath, tur enath esledín istien, iœn
ishęn sįlia fisenun za dwenæth - ån lo bragon niuzden."

  Tazhenat -- "Slas ajela ladzurun san chelat, turu stanas isen sledhik, id
ihet ksile pishanun aja enirat - zai slo nisa avragus."


And then here are the same passages, but with pronunciation and morpheme
translations:

-- Ždava
"Žlača elba žanor ladnorn gedmora, tura stanasn šlidječan obrana, jer ača
čila višanan na dvanapn - za ž brekuč nŭžda."

/ZlatSa elba Zano4 ladno4n gedmo4a tu4a stanasn SlidjetSan ob4ana je4 atSa

I'd be glad to hear what you guys think of them, if they seem plausible, and
how they sound to you, what sort of impression you get from the sound of
them.  Thanks!
