In the first season of Halo, Sangheili spoken dialogue was featured. It is shown below, along with unused lines.

Episode 101

SANGHEILI WARRIOR
Demon.
TRANSLATION
MERCY
Blessed One...
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
The artifact was not where I predicted?
MAKEE
But it did not make its way back to us?
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
I don't understand.
TRANSLATION
MERCY
Upon interrogation he claims that the human who took it, one known to our warriors as Demon, was able to bring the artifact to life. As you can.
MAKEE
I need to speak with this swordsman. Right away.
MERCY
Might I suggest you leave that behind?
MAKEE
Oh, I ---
TRANSLATION
MERCY
You study the book of human stories not because they are your people, but so that you might better know the mind of our enemies?
MAKEE
That's right.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
I appreciate your counsel, Mercy.
MERCY
Perhaps at some point you will read them to me. So that I may also know the enemy.
SANGHEILI
They have arrived!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
I see humans!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
You will burn!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
Humans!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
Praise the Prophets!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
Heretics!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
Evil rises!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
The Demon!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
The Covenant over all!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
The Sangheili are masters!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
They're firing!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
Ha! Hardly a scratch.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
A human with fangs!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI
All herertics shall burn!
SANGHEILI
I have not finished!
TRANSLATION

Episode 102

MAKEE
This Spartan, you saw him do what I can do? With the relic?
MAKEE
When he touched it, show me what you saw.
MERCY
It is one of the keystones. Finally. Do you see now?
TRUTH
We must have it.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
I will retrieve the keystone myself.
REGRET
Your place is here, Blessed One.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
I know where I belong. Are you worried I'll forget?
MERCY
No one questions your loyalty. Rather we question the wisdom of sending someone of your importance on such a hazardous mission.
MAKEE
I can move among the humans in a way the rest of you cannot.
MERCY
It is too dangerous--
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
Mercy, you took me in. You tutored me, and taught me of the Great Journey. For what you have done for me, allow me to deliver this gift to us all. I will find the keystone. And it will lead us to the sacred ring.

Episode 103

MAKEE
Previously on Halo...
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
Previously on Halo...
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI 1
Close. Yes. It's further down. That way.
SANGHEILI 1
The luminary grows stronger.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI 1
Behind that creature.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI 1
No.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI 1
This creature is what we seek.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI 1
Wait. Stop.
TRANSLATION
MERCY
Blessed One.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
What do you think of this? Suitably human?
MERCY
It reminds me of the day we met. Of course, you were much smaller then.
TRUTH
Where will you begin your search for the keystone?
MAKEE
Madrigal. Where it was last seen.
MAKEE
The spirit that first called me there remains. I'm sure of it.
MERCY
And if your search brings you to him?
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
The so-called Demon?
TRANSLATION
MERCY
It would be understandable to be curious about another who shares your gifts.
MAKEE
For your kindness, Mercy, I will not only bring back the keystone, I will bring you the Demon's head.
SANGHEILI WARRIOR
Your warriors are ready, Blessed One.
MAKEE
There is nothing here. We continue on to Madrigal. We will find where they took the keystone, and we will find the sacred ring.
MAKEE
Do you read me?
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
I am returning to the ship.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI 1
Yes, Blessed One.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI 1
What we seek is close.
TRANSLATION

Episode 105

MAKEE
Anything?
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI GUARD
Forgive me, Blessed One, but the artifact is no longer here on Madrigal.
SANGHEILI GUARD
Forgive me, Blessed One, but the artifact is no longer here on Madrigal.
MAKEE
I am aware it is no longer here. But it was active, radiating energy from this place. That is how I first found it. And that should be enough to lead us to its twin.
MAKEE
Keep looking.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI GUARD
Yes, Blessed One.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
Warrior.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
We share the same enemy.
MAKEE
And with both keystones we can destroy them.
SANGHEILI GUARD
Yes, Blessed One.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI GUARD
We found the source of the radiation.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI ELITE
We have it. Bring us back its partner.
SANGHEILI ELITE
We have the Artifact. Bring us back its partner.
SANGHEILI GUARD
Blessed One! Come quickly!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI GUARD
It's picking up the missing artifact's presence.
SANGHEILI GUARD
The luminaries have picked up a signal.
MAKEE
The other keystone. It's calling out to us!
MAKEE
Let's go. Now!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI WARRIOR
Are you certain, Blessed One?
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
Make it look good.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI WARRIOR
Yes, Blessed One.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI ELITE
Spartan!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI ELITE
Forward! For the Great Journey!
TRANSLATION
JACKAL
Attack! Reclaim the relic! Reap profit! Prophets guide our claws!
GRUNT
They're here, get them! Die, heretics! Kill the heretics! Here comes my punishment!
GRUNT
No heretic left alive! Where are the controls?! Uh oh. The Demon!
COVENANT
No mercy! Prophets guide my aim! Burn their mongrel hides! Cut them down!
SANGHEILI ELITE
NOOOOOOOOOO!
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI ELITE
The Great Demon? Here?
TRANSLATION
JACKAL
For the Great Journey! Glory! Charge! Attack! Kill the enemy! Fire! Kill them! Kill them all!
ATRIOX
Hardly worth the sport...
TRANSLATION

Episode 106

MAKEE
Get your hands off him. Stop. Det! I... I'll be better. Just don't hurt me.

Episode 108

SANGHEILI WARRIOR
Come quickly.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
No. I can't.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI WARRIOR
Take it--
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
No. I won't let you have it.
VOICE
Send over a search team. We will find where they took the keystone, and we will find the sacred ring.
MAKEE
No. It is you who will pay.
TRANSLATION

Episode 109

MERCY
Blessed one. You have returned.
TRANSLATION
MERCY
And you have delivered both keystones. As promised.
REGRET
She also promised us the Demon's head.
MAKEE
Are you not satisfied, noble Hierarch of Regret?
MERCY
You have done well. Soon the Covenant will begin our Great Journey.
MAKEE
And what about me, Mercy? Will I accompany you on the Great Journey?
MERCY
There is always a place for the Blessed One. If that is what you want.
MAKEE
Of course I do.
TRANSLATION
REGRET
And where is our “Blessed One”?
TRUTH
Preparing for the ceremony.
TRANSLATION
REGRET
Simple-minded creature, this human. She anoints herself for her own sacrifice. She has soiled our world too much with her presence.
MERCY
Finding the ring is only the beginning. For reasons the ancients have kept from us, we still need her.
REGRET
She has soiled our world too much with her presence. Mercy, how much longer must we endure--
MERCY
I have not forgotten my promise to you, brother. Once we complete the Great Journey, Makee will burn, along with her species.
MERCY
And there will be a way. It will be called the way of holiness.
TRUTH
The Covenant shall walk the Path.
REGRET
We fear not death for our lives will be eternal.
MERCY
This is the vindication of the ways of our Covenant.
REGRET
The journey requires sacrifice.
TRUTH
The promise shall be fulfilled.
REGRET
I shall light this holy ring...and burn a path into the divine beyond.
MERCY
We will soon join the ancients as gods.
MERCY
Something is wrong.
TRANSLATION
REGRET
Mercy, it is time.
TRANSLATION
MERCY
No, I know her.
TRANSLATION
SANGHEILI WARRIOR
DEMON!
TRANSLATION
TRUTH
Demon is here.
TRANSLATION
REGRET
It was her! She summoned him!
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
No! I swear--
TRANSLATION
MERCY
Never mind her. Get the Demon!
MAKEE
There's no way.
TRANSLATION
MERCY
Unite the sacred stones!
TRANSLATION
MERCY
That they may show us the way to the Sacred Ring!
MERCY
The sacred ring is revealing its location.
MERCY
Unleash the zealots!
TRANSLATION
MERCY
No. NO. The star map is incomplete.
MERCY
Take the Demon alive!
MERCY
Don't.
TRANSLATION
MERCY
What have you done? We need him to find the ring!
MERCY
The Blessed One is dead!
TRANSLATION
MERCY
That we may ascend to the Ring.
REGRET
The Demon lives!
TRANSLATION
MERCY
Take him!
TRANSLATION
MERCY
No!
TRANSLATION
MERCY
Stop them!
TRANSLATION
MERCY
Hold your fire!
TRANSLATION
REGRET
Don't let him leave!
MERCY
The map is nearly complete.
TRANSLATION
REGRET
Mercy, can you read the map?
TRUTH
What does it mean?
TRANSLATION
MERCY
I think... I think I see. Blessed Herald of the Journey. Show me the path!
GROUP
Spartans? Impossible!
ATRIOX
Glorious combat!
TRANSLATION
ATRIOX
Little Demon.
TRANSLATION
ATRIOX
Flesh and bone, like the rest.
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Revelation! The path is before us. We are worthy. A sign of the gods. By the blood of our fathers.
ATRIOX
Weakness, manifest. This is what the prophets fear?
ATRIOX
Fight, Demon.
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Alert! Intruders! Get Weapons! To arms!
GROUP
Warriors!
TRANSLATION
GROUP
FOR THE JOURNEY! FOR THE KAIDON! BROTHERS! WARRIORS! THE DEMON MUST DIE!
GROUP
Together! Destroy them!
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Regroup!
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Form ranks!
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Prepare to fight!

Check your weapons!

Revenge!

The Ballad of Kel Darsam

SINGER
Born of woman, fathered by Deity, Kel 'Darsam was a pillar of piety,
SINGER
Brave and noble, strong and wise, he sought only justice and no other prize,
SINGER
He battled with monsters, slew terrible beasts, to make his lands safe and to guarantee peace,
SINGER
But jealous were others, who envied his grace, a rival Kaidon sought his rival's disgrace,
SINGER
But a cowardly fighter, disgraced and defeated, took aim at the two as they finally retreated,
SINGER
Kel 'Darsam fell, spear in his back, down to the rocks where the waves did crack,
SINGER
But as Kel was falling, the sun was arising, the first rays of Urs halted 'Darsam's demising,
SINGER
The light found him godly with noble intention, and embraced him as kin and confirmed his ascension.
