til Mósæslistaða,
It was another evening that Slayer Obiwan Kvaeggan’s son and Luke Anakinn’s
son came to Mosaesla Steads,
bœjar Vattós. Þangat vas komit saman stórr flokkr óvina Falfaðins konungs,
en margir ránsmenn
Vatto’s farm. Thither had come together a great number of enemies of King
Palpatines, and many robbers
ok útlagar ok aðrir óþokkulegir menn gistu þar òk.
and outlaws and other nasty men stayed the night there also.
Þangat vǭru komnir òk menn Veiði-Anakins, ok þeir vǭru klæddir í hvítum
brynjum; men
Men of Hunter Anakinn’s had come thither also and they were clad in white
mail; people
forðusk fund þeira, en þessir norrœnu hermenn stóðu eigi langt frá húsi
Vattós, ok þeir spurðu
shunned them and these Norwegian warriors stood not far from Vatto’s house
and they asked
tíðenda alla þá, es kómu þangat, segjandi at þeir leitaði Íra tvá.
the news of those who came thither, saying that they sought two Irishmen.
Nú nǭlguðusk þessir hermenn til Lúks Anakinssons. Maðr spurði Lúk, hvárt
hann hefði þessa
Now these warriors approached ? (ná-lægjast?) Luke Anakinn’s son. A man
asked Luke, whether he had had these
þræla írska lengi átta. Lúkr sagði, at hann hefði þá átta þrjá eða fjogur
ár, ok at hann vildi gjerna selja þá.
Irish thralls for a long time. Luke said that he had had them three or four
years and that he would gladly sell them.
Hermaðr spurði, hvat heitir Lúkr. En fjǫlkyngi Jeðifjarðamanna fylgði
Víga-Óbívani
(The) warrior asked, what Luke was called. But witchcraft of the Jedifirth
men helped Slayer Obiwan
Kvægganssyni. Hann heillaði þessa hermenn, ok lǫgðu á þá, at þeir trúi ǫllum
þeim orðum es hann sagði.
Kvaeggan’s son. He (had) enchanted these warriors and because of that, they
believed all those words which he said.
“Ér þurfiðat þess, at heyra nafn hans,” segir Víga-Óbívan.
“That is not necessary for you to hear his name,” says Slayer Obiwan.
“Vér þurfum eigi þess, at fregna nafn hans,” segir hermaðr.
“We don’t need this, to ask his name,” says (the) warrior.
“Þessir eru eigi þeir þrælar, es ér sœkið,” segir Víga-Óbívan enn.
“These are not those thralls which are sought,” Slayer Obiwan adds.
“Þessir eru eigi þeir þrælar, es vér sœkum,” segir hermaðr.
“These are not those thralls which we seek,” says (the) warrior.
“Hann fær farit frjáls,” segir Víga-Óbívan.
“He is able to go free,” says Slayer Obiwan.
“Hann fær farit frjáls,” segir hermaðr.
“He can go free,” says (the) warrior.
“Haldið it áfram á leiðina,” segir Víga-Óbívan.
“Keep going forward on the way,” says Slayer Obiwan (Move along. Nothing to
see here.)
“Haldið it áfram, haldið it áfram,” segir hermaðr.
“Keep going forward, keep forward,” says (the) warrior.
Lúkr kvað, “Ek skynja eigi, hversu vit kómum undan.”
Luke said, “I don’t understand how we escaped.”
