TASELA,   LING   TIBENO (Hugo Viktor)
Tomorrow, during dawn   (Victor Hugo)
'Tomorrow, during dawn (Victor Hugo)'
'Demain, dès l'aube (Victor Hugo)'
'Tomorrow, during dawn (Victor Hugo)'
=> NOTE that the name hasn't been fitted to Ayeri's phonology as usual. Actually, our friend should be called something like 'Hugo Vikatran' or so. It would also have been better to choose 'luga' instead of 'ling', which means 'while' and not 'during', although they are fairly synonymous. The only problem is that 'ling' can also mean '(to the) top of', which would rather mean 'until' and not 'during'. Seems to be a mistake I made when I lexicalized the word.

Tomorrow, during dawn,   hour .LOC REL get.3s:a AGT.white land .AGT,

'Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la compagne,'

'I will leave. Do you see, I know you are awaiting me.'
'Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends.'
'I will leave. You see, I know that you are waiting for me.'

'I will go through the forests, I will go through the mountains.'
'J'irai par la forêt, j'irai par la montagne.'
'I will go through the forest, I will go through the mountains.'
=> NOTE that it'd have been better here to use 'lugáo', which means 'to pass through'.

Sira    ming kah(a)         -oy -ay-ang eva-in  netoy.

Nu- kebay, nu- koron-oy -isa, pang-eri ay- sigur-isa, sapay-eri ay- satek-isa,
AGT.alone, AGT.know .NEG.CAU, back.INS OBL.bend .CAU, hands.INS OBL.fold .CAU,
'Alone, unknown, with the back bent, with the hands folded,'
'Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,'
'Alone/Lonely, unknown, the back bent, the hands crossed,'
=> NOTE that according to the current standards, 'nukebay' and 'nukoronoyisa' don't need the 'nu-'.

Nu- giday, nay le      pa-  yoma-arà  bahis-reng ku-  sirutay-on.
AGT.sad,   and TRG:PAT FUT2.be  .3s:a day  .AGT  like.night  .TRG.
'Sad, and the day will be like night.'
'Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit.'
'Sad, and the day will be like the night for me.'
=> NOTE that the 'nu-' isn't necessary again in 'nugiday'. Also, I forgot to translate "pour moi" ('for me'), which should be 'ayyam'.

Ya      pa-  silv-oy -ay-ang sing    avirang-in  sirutay-ena s  .ea  velapa-iyà -ang,

'Nor the sails far away which descend from Harfleurs.'
'Ni les voiles au loin descendants vers Harfleurs.'
'Nor the sails far away descending from Harfleurs.'
=> The dictionary says 'behadang', without the 'n'. Either the dictionary is wrong, or this translation. Or it depends on the dialect of the writer.

Nay sitadayea pa-  girend-ay-ang, le      pa-  tapi-ay-ang ling   gareng-ea  eva-ena
And when      FUT1.arrive.1s.AGT, TRG:PAT FUT1.put .1s.AGT during grave .LOC 2s .GEN
'And when I will arrive, I will put on your grave'

a.PAT.bouquet.TRG heather.INS OBL.green and gorse .INS OBL.flourishing.
'A bouquet (by means of) green heather and (by means of) flourishing gorse.'
'Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur.'
'A bouquet of green heather and flourishing gorse.'
=> NOTE that when translating, I was not sure whether it would not be better to use 'aydemena' and 'gintarena' here, which would have literally meant 'of heather' and 'of gorse'. On the other hand, the use of the instrumentative case does not seem wrong to me here either.
