Since I don't know Spanish, I couldn't make out much of it, save for the odd word such as "SHENZHOL" (and the sound changes they exemplify. Below I give the King James Babel text in phonemic representation as read in Southern Brish (because the syntax and lexis of Brish is much less well researched by me than the phonology). Southern Brish is spoken in most of England, except for the North, around 2500 CE. (NB I can't work out how to remove the dickhead hyperlinks Outlook Express automatically inserts.)
