Oera Linda fragments with my provisional translations:

[118/20] Gosa: Expulsion of Blacks
NW WINSTIK WEL THÀT MINA ÀFTERKVMANDA THÉRVP LETTA.
HO FÉR GOSA WÉRHÉD SPREK.

I hope my descendants will ascertain
to what extent Gosa was right
[lit.: spoke truth].

[140/18] Yesus or Buda, Krisen, Fo
MEN AS THA PRESTERA SKILUN WÁNA

SÁ SKILUN THÉR IN ALLE WRDA MÀNNISKA VPSTONDA

ÀND TOFÁRA THA PRESTERA FORBORGEN HÀVE.
THISSA SKILUN WÉSA UT FORSTA BLOD. FON PRESTERUM BLOD
FON SLÁVONUM BLOD ÀND FON FRYA.S BLOD.

THA FORSTA THÉR WÉRHÉD MINNA ÀND RJUCHT
THAM SKILUN FON THA PRESTERA WIKA.

When the priests will imagine, however,
that they have entirely extinguished the light of Frya and of Yesus' teachings,
people will rise in all regions,
who have silently treasured truth among each other,
hiding it from the priests.
They will be of royal blood, of priestly blood,
of slaves' blood and of Frya's blood.
They will bring their lamps and the light into the open,
so that everyone may see truth.
They will condemn the deeds of the priests and princes.
The princes who love truth and justice
will separate themselves from the priests.


(the above fragment in the original manuscript:)

The word TRVTH is also used once:

[101/09] Primal Teachings 2
SEND THÉR SVME THAM HJARA RENKA FRODA ÀNDET BÁR MAKJA
ALSA WRDON HJA THRVCH HJARA RAKKERA FÀT ÀND VMBIRA LASTER VRBARNAD
ELLA MITH FÉLO STÁTSKA PLÉGUM HJARA FALXA DROCHTNE TO.N ÉRE.
MEN IN TRVTH. ALLÉNA THÉRVMBE THÀT HJA.RA NAVT SKÁDA NE SKOLDE.

If there are any who see through their vile tricks and try to expose them,
these are caught by their henchmen and burnt for their defamation —
always with solemn ceremonies, in honour of their false divinities —
but in truth, it is only to protect the priesthood.

... against your will, your body was defiled. 
That, you are not to blame for. 
But if you defile your soul, 
you will never reach Walhalla. 
Your soul will then wander over the earth 
without being able to see the light. 
Like bats and owls you will hide in your hole by day, 
and come out at night, crying and howling upon our graves, 
while Frya must turn her head away from you.

[140/07] Yesus or Buda
VMBE SIN AJN SÉLE TO BIHALDANE MOST MÀN FÜL ANDA CHERKE JÁN.
... in order to save his own soul, one must offer the temple generously.

[196/06] Askar Prepares for War
JETA SWARTER AS SIN HÉR IS SINE SÉLE FVNDEN.
but his soul was found to be blacker than his hair
