eitt (guess poison) that was a bad guess I'm thinking, I confused it with eitr.
eptir. I think now means "after, so
and now they moved hence and (fersk) to this new place
and Auðun was afterwards with Thorir the Captain at his family home on Moeri.And  over Summer they travelled out to Greenland and were there for the winter
So thus he would get Auðun to buy a bear, a great and costly thing, and give it before (alla eigu sina). And now after summer they travelled back to Norway and happened to have a calm voyage.
I really feel better about this but (alla eigu sina) don't mean anything yet, and the bear he got wouldn it have been trained in some way, I am unsure about travelling in a boat with a bear, good thing the voyage was calm.

I am struggling to get this in first so I may not be influenced by others, I do not want to seem to be "Cribbing"
 
And now they moved hence, and (fersk)to this new ? place.
And Auðun was (accord) with Thorir the Captain at his family dwelling on Moeri
(I suppose Moeri to be an island)
And over Summer they travelled out to Greenland and were there for winter
So thus he would get Auðun to buy there a bear (eitt - guess poison)
a great and costly thing and give it before (alla eigu sina).
And now in Summer (eptir - again) travelled they back to Norway.
? and happened to have a good voyage ?
 
This word eptir, I have no experience of it in context, I have use of a small dictionary, but apart from speaking some german and having a knowledge of old English and a word or two of Icelandic
I am dissatisfied with eptir = accord, but am stuck, and am sure I should get into learning some, but the books are a long time coming and, I am much enjoying this work

Ok nú fara þeir útan heðan, ok fersk þeim vel, ok var Auðun of vetrinn eptir með Þóri stýrimanni; hann átti bú á Moeri.  Ok um sumarit eptir fara þeir út til Groenlands, ok eru þar of vetrinn.  Þess er við getit, at Auðun kaupir þar bjarndýri eitt, gørsimi mikla, ok gaf fyrir alla eigu sína.  Ok nú of sumarit eptir fara þeir aptr til Nóregs, ok verða vel reiðfara.
