Corrections depends on what you wanted to say   - I'm not sure if I understood everything well.

My attempt:
Fra'u fnu fìtseng, kea pam mungwrr meveng. (Everything is quiet here, no sound except 2 children. [I feel it is not correct])
Slä ye'krr fko tsun stivawm woka pamot tawftu (But early one can hear a loud sound from the sky)
Sawtute zola'u fte tspivang ayoengat. (Skypeople came to kill us)

Teyra kxener teya si ayoengeyä (ay)sopìru (White smoke fills up our lungs)
Ayoeng terul. Ayoeng wäperan. (We are running. We are hidding)
Sawtutel ska'a fra'ut. Ayfol ska'a Kelutalit sì ayoengat. (Skypeople destroy everything. They destroy Home tree and us)
Eywa tsngawvängìk fìtrr. (Eywa is crying today (with negative mood))

I'm afraid I'm not error free, but others correct both of us. Do not afraid of mistakes, nobody is perfect (and it is hard to be good in Na'vi).
Your text is not bad, we are awaiting next part. Keep writing, this is good place for training

[Puvomun]

Ayoeng terul. Ayoeng wäperan. (We are running. We are hidding)

As this is a poem, I would keep to the original, but you are right about <äp>.

Ayoeng tul. Ayoeng wäpan. We run. We hide (ourselves).

Sawtutel ska'a fra'ut. Ayfol ska'a Kelutralit sì ayoengit

An 'r' missing in KelutRalit, and you could omit the <ay> with ayfol, it would make the sentence flow a little better, in my opinion.

Very nice poem.

[Blue Elf]

Wapän is necessary as wan itself is transitive and requires direct object.
Thanks for finding missing 'r' - I did copy'n'paste from original a didn't notice that. Well, auto-correcting filter started to work for me too

Yes, the äp is needed. I would just, as it is a poem, leave away the <er> in the verbs.
We help each other. Ayoeng srung säpi (?  looks wrong).

[Blue Elf]

Srung säpi should be "help myself", I think. We do not have phrase for "each other" yet - I met this problem more times here, but no solution exists for now

Ah, so I am not the only one (of course not).

Ayoeng srung si ayoengur perhaps comes closest then.
Or, to make it sound better: Ayoeng ayoengur srung si. We help us. It sounds a bit awkward though.

[Sireayä mokri]

Blue Elf's version seems correct (only one thing to correct: ayoengat, not ayoengit), although it'd be best to compare it to the English text.

Ayoeng srung si ayoengur perhaps comes closest then.
Or, to make it sound better: Ayoeng ayoengur srung si. We help us. It sounds a bit awkward though.

It would be same as ayoeng srung säpi — we help ourselves.

[Eana Ketuwong]

Wow, irayo all of you. See? I said my grammar is iffy! But thank you for the help, it is all greatly appreciated.

[Kamean]

Great work.

[Eana Ketuwong]

Great work.

Irayo!

[Eana Ketuwong]

I have added more to the poem; I also made an error at the end: instead of ayoeng, I meant to put ayoengit. Unless use of the "-it" is wrong.

[Alyara Arati]

Please, correct my horrible grammar if I'm wrong. Would be much appreciated!

Ayoeng 'eko. Ayoengal 'eko aysawtutet.
Slä Kelutral ke tsun kivllkxem kehe/kea nì'ul.
Poe zup nekll. Poe tspang pxaya noun(sute, ayoengeyä,?).
'Uo(l) tsa hamawnu ayoengit...tspamang ayoengit. (Spelling?)

i will add more to that in the morning. I highly doubt i wrote that even slightly well...Oe lu ngaytxoa!

You express yourself very well.  I'm pleased for you!  I hope my corrections are as good.

[Blue Elf]

Your correction appears to me mostly as good. I'd just only use po in the third line instead poe, as home tree isn't woman and ayoengat(i), not ayoengit (pronouns ending with -ng in fact ends with -nga, which must appear with case ending)
And maybe ayoe should be used everywhere instead of ayoeng, otherwise listener is also part of the story (and can be killed too, but in such case he could listen to this. This explanation is probably overconstructed but I'd use ayoe)

[Sireayä mokri]

Infix positions for kllkxem are 22 (i.e. kllkx<0,1,2>em). Apart from that (and ayoengat, which has been noted by tsm. Blue Elf), your correction is fine, ma Alyara.

Can you explain what 22 mean, ma Sireayä mokri? I saw this notation more times, but don't know how to interpret it. Irayo.

[Sireayä mokri]

It's a simple system that Pawl uses often, instead of the "floating dot" (like in the dictionary). It works this way: we know that there are three infix positions, but the "pre-first" is always follow by the "first". So the first number indicates the pre-first and first position infixes, the second number is for the second position infixes. The numbers themselves represent a syllable that gets an infix. So, for example "12" means that pre-first and first position infixes go into the first syllable, whereas second position infixes go into the second syllable. "11" means that all of them go into the first syllable, "22" — into the second syllable.

Your correction appears to me mostly as good. I'd just only use po in the third line instead poe, as home tree isn't woman

Hrh, I portrayed Hometree as a female, like "She is our home," or "She's the one who has sheltered us for all our lives,"
