     Несьцер, акінуўшы вачмі гэты абшар, жахнуўся. Праўда, ён скеміў, што гэта плён вайны, але хацеў праведаць, чыіх рук гэта праца: немцаў ці палякаў.

     Njesʹcjer, akinuŭšy vačmi hety abšar, žaxnuŭsja. Praŭda, jon skjemiŭ, što heta pljon vajny, alje xacjeŭ pravjedacʹ, čyix ruk heta praca: njemcaŭ ci paljakaŭ.

     Nieścier, having glanced over this area, was horrified. Truth be told, he realized it was the aftermath of war, but he wanted to know whose hands had wrought it: the Germans or the Poles.
