Using an older language for this, because I feel it’s much better-suited than my latest one for weighty Tokien-esque utterances:

Part of a story I'm currently writing:

Long ago, a Mortal was found sneaking around God's Palace, looking at things never meant to be seen by mortal eyes.

Daas:
Zui'u, hya ez ze'du da le jon'uzu lu biviti lau pai Oo'dio pe Ra'tekae'dai, de joiz lu we'joiz'ron je'ke.

In ancient times, a mortal was seen sneaking in the Highest King's Palace, seeing things not meant to be seen.
