Ḥad Gadya has a place in Seder tables throughout Westeros and Essos, and in many communities it was read in translation. This translation into High Valyrian is necessary for any seder to be held in the Seven Kingdoms.
But to be serious, High Valyrian is one of a vast number of constructed languages developed by David J. Peterson, specifically for the Song of Ice and Fire mythos. The editor here has developed this adaptation of the well-known seder table-song Ḥad Gadya into High Valyrian, as well as a home-brewed transcription system into Hebrew script included here.
The editor is not an expert in Valyrian, so if there are any grammatical errors, feel free to leave a comment!

This is the translation of Ḥad Gadya into Judeo-Valyrian with a Hebraicization schema for Valyrian by Isaac Gantwerk Mayer.
The earliest known appearance of “Ḥad Gadya,” by an unknown author, can be found, handwritten, in the Prague Haggadah (1526). The Aramaic has been vocalized according to the Prague Haggadah (1590). Besides the transcription of the Aramaic with its vocalization, I have also added a translation adapted from Eve Levavi Feinstein’s Passover Haggadah translation. –Aharon N. Varady
