Nū stoþun ana wiga faura imma twa razna misso wiþrawairþa, ain mikil jah skaun, anþar leitil jah unleþ du andsaiƕan, jah þata mikil gabigis, jah þata leitil unledis.

Ei þāhta Frauja Guþ unsar “þana gabigan ni kaurida, wiljau at imma saljan.” sa gabiga, biþe daur is slahan hausida, uslauk augadauro jah baþ þana framaþjan, ƕa sokjai Frauja andhof “bidja naht du saljan.”

Þatei leikaida þamma Guda liubamma, jah innïddja du imma. Qens þis unledis ufrakida imma handu izos, gatáih ina swe andnumanana jah qaþ, þrafstidedi sik jah usþulaidedi aihtins þeinos, ija ni habaidedeina filu, iþ ƕa wesi, gebi hairtins gabaurjaba. Þan lagida si airþaaplans at aid, jah miþþanei sudun,
