I did, twice... oh well, here it is...

Anyhow, I've translated the first 3 verses of the tower of babel:Kigec I'
wneti aswzud ap ivw ka ap fepoci ivw. Imati cimace peti  axo, jitel ahok ap
zirwb t'Sunara.  Desi ahok p'ihog,  "Satoz ihot pa pabo ipotobaz ka atuki
nora ihor."

And for those without the font....

Note, even capitals in front of sentences are phonological.

kigec l'wneti aSwzud ap ivw ka ap fepoKi ivw. Imati cimaKe peti  axo, jitel
ahok ap zirwb t'Sunara.  Desi ahok p'ihog, "satoz ihot pa pabo ipotobaz ka
atuki nora ihor.

And an interlinear:
