And here is my Gothic version (unattested words are marked with *)

[Attila qaþ:]

Afar sigiza swa managaizo þiudo, afar midjungard, jabai gastandaiþ, 
gatamidana, *until domidedjau <izwis> swaswe unweisans waihtais 
waurdam inwagjan. Sokjai þata andizuh niujis *drauhtins aiþþau 
unfraisans harjis. Nih mis binauht ist hva gamainjata qiþan, nih 
izwis skuld ist hausjan. Hva sweþauh anþar jus nibai militon biuhtai 
<sijuþ>? Aiþþau hva gumin swinþamma woþizo þau fraweit handau 
sokjan? Mikila giba <ist> at wistai ahmans *fragildis sadans
