Chapter 74. Þorkell’s journey-abroad

Nú er þar til máls að taka að Þorkell Eyjólfsson situr í búi sínu og í
Now (one) is to take up the story there (ie now it must be told) that Þorkell Eyjólfr’s-son sits (in residence) in his farm and in

höfðingsskap sínum. Gellir son þeirra Guðrúnar óx upp heima þar. Hann var
his authority-as-chief. Gellir, (the) son of Guðrún (and he) grew up at-home there. He was

snemma drengilegur maður og vinsæll.
early (on) a brave person (man) and popular.

Það er sagt eitt sinn að Þorkell sagði Guðrúnu draum sinn.
That is said one time that Þorkell said to Guðrún his dream.

"Það dreymdi mig," segir hann, "að eg þóttist eiga skegg svo mikið að tæki
“That was-dreamt-by me,” says he, “that I bethought-myself to have a beard so great that (it) would-reach (stretch, taka, Z3)

um allan Breiðafjörð."
across all Breiðafjörðr.”

Þorkell bað hana ráða drauminn.
Þorkell bade her to interpret (read, ráða, Z12) the-dream.

Guðrún spurði: "Hvað ætlar þú þenna draum þýða?"
Guðrún answered: “What do you think this dream to signify (þýða, Z3).”

"Auðsætt þykir mér það að þar mun standa ríki mitt um allan Breiðafjörð."
“That seems to me easily-seen (clear) that my power (authority) will stand (hold sway, extend) across all Breiðafjörðr.”
