Help, friends list?

I need translations (in any language - I will totally welcome things like Elvish and Klingon, too) for the following five words:

Welcome

Read

Listen

Create

Explore

Any bilingual/multilingual people out there who like to help me out? You'll get - okay. You'll just get thanks. But they will be very sincere thanks.

Perhaps a better way to say these would be:

Welcome - selamat datang
Read - membaca (to read) / bacalah (imperative)
Listen - mendengar / dengarlah
Create - menciptakan
Explore - lihat-lihat (a bit colloquial, very common -- and appropriate for things like "explore this chapter" or "explore this website") / menjelajahi (formal; used mainly in the context of exploring actual geographic landscapes e.g. a desert)

Tetum:

Welcome - bem vindo
Read - lee
Listen - rona
Create -
Explore -

I totally forgot about the prefix thing. My prof would be so proud. /o\
