I had no idea this translation existed but since i've seen so many topics recently about Bible translations, i'm not really sure what to make of them because it highlights the differences in how people read the Bible.
Some see it as a legal or technical document while others see it as a spiritual book of Life. So when you don't read it as a legal document, then the essential messages are there despite errors in translations.

That is generally not "Wulfila" but "Ulfila".
Ulfila' s outstanding contribution to writing is his invention of the Gothic alphabet , which he devised from Greek (primarily) and Latin. For the first time in the Germanic world, writing could be used for the propagation of ideas. He coined a Germanic Christian terminology, some of which is still in use. Before 381 he translated parts of the Bible from Greek to Gothic. Much of his Gothic translations of the Gospels and Pauline Letters survive, together with fragments of his Book of Nehemiah. Although he reputedly translated the whole Bible except the Books of Kings, the extent of his work cannot be ascertained. Surviving passages from his Bible translation are in W. Streitberg's Gotische Bibel (3rd ed., 1950). He reportedly wrote many sermons and interpretations in Gothic, Greek, and Latin, and some extant Arian writings have been ascribed to him.
