The Storm at kvintlat

Long ago, a storm was heading for the city of Quin'lat.
lang før, ǽn sturm farð kvintlaten
long before, a storm fared to quin'lat

Everyone took protection within the walls except one man who remained outside.
øln seiktur hafn i vaggna, þǿgg ǽn møður lǽft ut.
all sought haven in the walls, though a man remained out

Kahless went to him and asked what he was doing.
kǽles farð þveo og þætt veskt hvi þeo lǽft.
kahless fared to him and he asked why he remained

"I am not afraid," the man said
<<Akk færa ney>> mænnrinn segð
"i fear not" the man said

"I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar.
<<akk skal bjarga ney minn grimm i stǽnn og lim.
"i shall shelter not my face in stone and mortar

I will stand before the wind and make it respect me."
Akk skal standa før vændǽ og þætt skal ægir mikk>>
i shall stand before the wind and it shall respect me"

Kahless honored his choice and went back inside.
kǽles ægirt þeos kyrt og farð i til vaggna.
kahless respected his choice and fared in to the walls

The next day, the storm came, and the man was killed,
daggoftra, styrmrinn ga og mænnrinn var deyt
dayafter the storm came and the man was dead

as the wind does not respect a fool.
sva vændǽ ægirna ǽn dolt.
so the wind respects not a fool
