Night's Watch oath

English

Original

TV series

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

TV version

La nate se samle, e ia la vata mede agina.
Et ne scula endere uscia'l dodo mede.
Eo ne sculo nemare nilo fruva, aldare nilo landi, tigere nilo cindi.
Eo ne sculo dragare nilo bogi e vinare nilo era.
Eo sculo levere e stervare a'l stando mede.

Eo bi el sverto en la duncalita.
Eo bi el vatetore en le vantu.
Eo bi el scilto ce varde li ricii de menisci.

Eo perspreco el levere e era mede a la Vata de la Nate,
per eca nate e one le nate cumanti.
