SKVR textEnglish
Niukkalankan luku.
1Pyy pyräht, mua täräht,The grouse startled, the earth shook,
2Jiessuksen hepo pölästy.Jesus' horse took fright.
3Jiessus muahan ratsahiltJesus rode down to the earth
4suonii sovittammua,to mend the veins,
5jäsenii liittämiä;to join the limbs;
6pienet suonet piäksekkäin,the small veins to their sources,
7jäsenet jäsentä vast,limb matching limb,
8liittiä lihaset suonet.to bind the muscles' veins.
