Ma meur a whel dhe wül en trevow ha citys hag e'n pow adro. Vosow ha vorrow a dal bos ownys. Caplys ha pibow a res bos gorrys e'n dor. Ma othom dhe cawnow ha kenallow a vos clerys. Terweythyow gwedhen a vedh trehys po kemerys dhe'n dor. Martesen ma othom a stulyow po degeansow vorrow.

There are several verses in the Holy Bible about work. You can find them in Exodus and Deuteronomy. “Six days shalt thou do work and do the things thou hast to do.” “Six days shalt thou labour, and do thy work.” “Six days you will do your work, but the seventh day you will rest.” “Six days thou shalt do thy work, but the seventh day thou shalt rest, so that thy ox and thy ass can rest.” There is much work to do in towns and cities and in the countryside. Walls and roads should be mended. Cables and pipes must be buried. Drains and gulleys need to be cleared. Sometimes a tree will be trimmed or taken down. Perhaps there's a need for scaffolding or road closures.
