The traditional first text for translation is the Babel Text. I don't
have the references handy, but googling for "babel text" should turn up
the original and several conlang translations.
If you're looking for something simpler, you might try the Biblical
passage John 1:1-2. Almost all of the verbs are "was" :-).
