The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9)

Ngab fuw wok khakuhub muuz kug tumub khais ñaapub mir khais walağub. Gitzaim fuw bağ sam fiñub, mir gain fuw bağ niiñ ziboowub chukh ñiilub, shitzair yufa fuw bağ wooy. Titz fuw bağ faas wam ğaud wigaushuhik shuthuğ mir faas wam ñaik wigaushuhik shuthuğ galuub. Ngab fuw bağ wigaushub nikhir ñobub, mir ngab fuw bağ thuthiğub nikhir chiskowub.

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

A Creation Myth

Kakos sip faas siith khakuhub. Zayup fuw ngetub mir shishtub bağ ñaapuhub. Patzeef fuw bağ chikakuhil mir diiyuhil woduhub. Shaik difooch fuw horub, fech goh faas ñaapub, chukh liiy mithub. Wikhis fuw niiğ kug mir tzashpan chukh hooy siyekub. Tziriğ fuw sip faas ñaapub, buñoth fuw niiğ.

We are not like other people. Their languages were shaped by struggle and time. They copied the sounds of beasts and birds, and they learned to speak like that. But our language arose in a different way. It was born whole and perfect in a single breath. Our language did not evolve; it was created.
