disclaimer:

Recent discoveries on my own part of Gothic vocabulary which I had not known
to exist before now make my translation somewhat too synthetic. Most usages
are directly or by secondary or tertiary means compared to their analogous
usages in the codex ambrosianus. the unbound bible page on the biola website
allows for multiple comparison among various english, greek, latin, and
other texts (including cod. ambr A & B!). i will attempt to update the
translation according to my new knowledge as soon as possible in order to
eliminate any neologism thus unnecessary. it is now come to my attention
that other earlier gothicists may have made translations in part of certain
verses or sections which i thought should not be overlooked in any case.
