It seems there might be some interest in another relay. The last one, at least, was fun, although it got a bit lost. This time I'll impose an arbitrary deadline of a fortnight, although I won't be super strict about it. If you take much more than that, however, you'll be skipped in interest of finishing the relay in a timely manner (aiming for less than a year this time).
Rules
I choose a text, something a bit shorter this time given the tighter deadlines, say 100 words. Then I translate it into a conlang, send it to the next person with a short grammar and lexicon, they translate it and make their own torch. Each torch gets sent to the next person in line, and also to me with the English translation. If you feel that there's enough info about your conlang online that's well formatted enough to translate the torch in the time frame, you can use that as the grammar section if ya want.
The idea is a sort of Chinese whispers; at each stage you try and translate as accurately as you can, but also try to make the text make sense. You can adapt it to your con-conculture, but without going overboard; coin and/or borrow words if you feel like native speakers would do that. No modifying the text just for the sake of craziness, this will be severely punished.

| We're obviously having problems with the board, so in addition to pms, or instead of if you can't log in, email me your torch at sokjeongho@gmail․com as backup |
