The following is an attempt at translating and somewhat "interpreting" De Bello Gallico. The text is originally in Latin and the idea is translating from it. The English below should be taken as an attempt to follow the High Valyrian closely in a sort of "translationese" and not as a scrictly finished translation.

De Bello Gallico

Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres,
quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur.
Hi omnes lingua, institutis, legibus inter se differunt. Gallos ab Aquitanis Garumna flumen, a Belgis Matrona et Sequana dividit.
Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae, propterea quod a cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime absunt, minimeque ad eos mercatores saepe commeant atque ea quae ad effeminandos animos pertinent important, proximique sunt Germanis, qui trans Rhenum incolunt, quibuscum continenter bellum gerunt. Qua de causa Helvetii quoque reliquos Gallos virtute praecedunt, quod fere cotidianis proeliis cum Germanis contendunt, cum aut suis finibus eos prohibent aut ipsi in eorum finibus bellum gerunt. Eorum una pars, quam Gallos obtinere dictum est, initium capit a flumine Rhodano, continetur Garumna flumine, Oceano, finibus Belgarum, attingit etiam ab Sequanis et Helvetiis flumen Rhenum, vergit ad septentriones. Belgae ab extremis Galliae finibus oriuntur, pertinent ad inferiorem partem fluminis Rheni, spectant in septentrionem et orientem solem. Aquitania a Garumna flumine ad Pyrenaeos montes et eam partem Oceani quae est ad Hispaniam pertinet; spectat inter occasum solis et septentriones.

High Valyrian

Vesteros giez sīkudot ezīmot ezīntys issa,
lurȳti mēre Baratheon jemēbis, tolie Tyrell jemēbis, tolie Qelbria se Āegenka Āja issa, izunnie Jelmor issa, tolie Arryn jemēbis, byllie Dorn issa, se ezīmos mēre Āegenkon Dēmalion sytilībis.
The whole of Westeros is divided into seven parts,
of those one is ruled by the Baratheons, another one by the Tyrells, another one is the Riverlands and the Iron Isles, a fourth one is the North, another one is ruled by the Arryns, a sixth one is Dorne, and one part belongs to the Iron Throne.
