About the meaning of the Gothic song "Jah quth duim":


    Jah quth duim: ibai Lukarin quimith 
    duthei uf melan satjaidau aiththau undar ligr? 
    Niu ei ana lukar nastathan satjaidau? 
    Nih allis ist chva fulginis thatei ni gabairhtjaidau: 
    Nih warth ana laugn, ak ei swikunth wairthai. 
    Jabai chvas habai ausona haus jandona, gehausjai. 
    Jah qath du im: saichvith, chva hauseith! 
    In thizaiei mitath mitith, mitada izwis jah biaukanda 
    izwis thaim galaubujandam. Unte thischvammeh saei 
    habaith gibada imma; jah sei ni habaith 
    jah thatei habaith afnimada imma.

The words, with a few mistypes, are copied from Mark. 4:21-25

21 jah qaþ du im: ibai lukarn qimiþ duþe ei uf melan satjaidau aiþþau undar 
ligr? niu ei ana lukarnastaþan satjaidau? 
22 nih allis ist hwa fulginis þatei ni gabairhtjaidau: nih warþ analaugn, ak 
ei swikunþ wairþai. 
23 jabai hwas habai ausona hausjandona, gahausjai. 
24 jah qaþ du im: saihwiþ, hwa hauseiþ! in þizaiei mitaþ mitiþ, mitada izwis 
jah biaukada izwis þaim galaubjandam. 
25 unte þishwammeh saei habaiþ gibada imma; jah saei ni habaiþ jah þatei 
habaiþ afnimada imma. 

21: And he said to them, "Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or 
under a bed, and not
on a stand?
22: For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything 
secret, except to come
to light.
23: If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."
24: And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will 
be the measure
you get, and still more will be given you.
25: For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even 
what he has will be
taken away."
