It _is_ a good idea, and I would like to contribute, but like Irina, I
prefer not to do Biblical translations.  Perhaps a text of one's own
choosing?  Or, there was a tale "Gold sword and Red Crystal" that was widely
translated a while back......
A member of Langmaker list, earlier this summer, was putting together
translations and nat-lang versions of the IPA's "North Wind and the Sun"--
but I'm not sure what  became of the project (could find out...).  I did a
version in Kash, complete with intonation contours, but having no microphone
I couldn't put up the spoken version.
