Thus begins a year of atrocious elvish chronicles, which feature: inconsistent and ill-used grammar, endlessly awkward phrasing, and intermingling of Sindarin, Quenya, and Noldorian, sometimes even within the same word. You're welcome.
Orenyëa - 16,026, Yohannesburg

Násë húna, na macilta sairina. Thelya, naiquet aphadon quilda? Gorthrim alcar ettulva munta. Kwí hîn carva in imya men.
Maethamenir Dagdeoth mae. Mal heriamen roitamaetha ti, a heriamen cesta tai thelhîn anthair awartha.
Illionass húnaië. Úcémen orthor ipalar mennai ascatmensa. Véla heriamen cesta macilta an idîr, heriamen cesta macilta an ipalar... Maciltaië ipalar, a penta ipalar rustaië.

Is it safe to assume that we have access to a library with the materials necessary for translating this?

You do. It's called the internet.

I would assume so, if Elwickett's library lasted through the timejump.

Asmodeus(Scott) and I did our best to translate it, so this is the common version. I hope it is not too far off.
He is cursed by the magic sword. When will the curse end so that the man can rest? The cold feeling came out of nowhere. Perhaps they came from the same path as us.
Then we fought off Dagdeoth well. But we began bringing the fight to them, and we began to search for a way to make them abandon their resolve (retreat).
Illionass is cursed. Maybe without us the conquerers (Dagdeoth) will break the plain asunder. When we met we began to search for the sword that is extremely difficult to find, we began to search for the sword that is the plain... The sword is the plain, and lacking it the plain is broken.

What resource did you use? I was trying to translate it but I got some really garbled stuff. Like, it was similar, but not enough so as to make it easily understandable.

Part of the translation process involved interpretation of and attempts to fix the grammar. So. We got equally garbled stuff and had to do our best to wrangle sense from it. Hence the note at the beginning of the translation.

This is a whole new level Kim- God for you for taking on the challenge. I hope you learn a lot... And I hope people keep translating your work, or it will have an audience of exactly one.

I attempted a translation on it, though perhaps someone who's better than me at this should double check it. Especially the last few lines- I'm not so sure about those. Actually, just all of it. Translating elvish is haaard. ---
I am not one for angry words, and fighting monsters when it is unnecessary. My purpose is knowledge and to do good- but now there is not good. Princess, you are seeking your treasure by slaying others in battle. Who will be there to fight Dagdeoth when you are gone and take warriors with you? We have not victory for the plain until you have her star returned, but we have failure. Quiet heart and good judgement, you would do well to learn- you have fierceness, but not wisdom.
The town from January all is dead. This is promise from dead- not of them, anyone they are dead, but to be us. For each of us who searched the town before there was with us one undead made with our appearance. I suspect the master of this game but I do not know for sure, thus I will not name it. I spoke with the Illionass knights; they are awake of the thought and search for it, but I fear they will leave soon. This is a powerful enemy, and we must begin to watch ourselves.
