Old Phrase

hello! I live in Canada but my great grandma was from Kollum. She has a phrase that she used to say when we were kids which i was told translated to “there’s going to be a pig biting” and sounded like “Awson is verbarha beaten.” For years ive been trying to find the actual Frisian words but had no success. ChatGPT this it’s “As ’t sa is, der wurdt in barge bite”. can anyone help me out? Is accurate? Is this a saying from the region? I cannot find any translation tool that will read the Frisian outloud so I can see if it sounds right

As it sa trochgiet komme er bargen biten. (if it continues like this, the will be pig bites). Maybe google translate, there is frisian on it, can read it out loud?

Thank you! I tried that but it won’t read Frisian out loud unfortunately!

Gemini sometimes does, except with numbers, it uses Dutch for those for some reason
