IntroductionThis is the Norwegian dialect spoken around the capitol city. It is written like it sounds. Å is aa (like the "o" in "oh no"); Æ is like the two first "A's" in "Alabama"; Ø is like the "ou" in "country"; Y is hehe.. I don't know an English word with this sound. Different sounds for the the three letters "I", "Y" and "J", but an English person would not tell the difference, but there are.

Translation 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Translation 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Translation 4And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Translation 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day
Translation 6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters
Translation 7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was so.
