Hello Sarah, I have noted Laurel's habit of using different coloours and it does help to my mind to study,

so thank you Laurel for the idea. Part three -

Hefir Auðun dýr með ser  ok ætlar nú at Fara suðr til Danmerkr á fund Svein Konungs

had Auðun animal with him  thought to fars south to Denmark to  ti find Svein King

Auðun had the animal with him, and planned to go south to Denmark to find Swein the King

 

ok gefa honum dýrit

and give this same animal

and give the creature to him.

 

Ok er hann kom  Suðr i landit  þar sem Komungr var fyrir þá gengr upp of skip ok leiðir

And as/when he came South to lands where a king was living he went up off the ship and leading

And as he came south to lands where there was a King, he left the ship and was leading

 

eptir sér dýrit ok leigir sér herbergi

after this bear and hired for him lodging

the bear after him and hired a room  to stay  (herbergi - like French Auberge - an Inn)

 

Haraldr Konungi var sagt bratt at  þar var komit bjarndýri, gorsimi mikil ok á Islenzkr maðr

Harald King was said/told (  )  as there was come a great treasure a bear with an Icelandish man

King Harald was told (at once) that a great treasure, a bear had come with and Icelander man

 

Konungr sendir þegar menn eptir honum, ok er Auðun kom fyrir Koningr, kveðr  hann  Kinung vel

The King sending  ? now after him and as Auðun came before the king  greeted him King well

The King sent men at once after him, and when Auðun came before him the King, he greeted him well

 

Konungr tók vel kveðju hans ok spurðr siðan "Attu gorsimi mikla i bjarndýri"

King ( ?)   well greeted he and    question said  "Hast thou a great treasure of a Bear"

The king greeted him well in return and asked him "Hast thou this great treasure of a Bear

 

Hann svarar and  kvezk eiga dýrit eitthvert

He answered and (     )  one bear (           )

He made answer and replied that he did own a Bear.

 

Attu, put me in mind of Hast du, - German - hast thou, the more familiar speech was used in those days, this tok I am unsure but guessed he returned greetings for Auðun was polite to him.

This is a great project Sarah, I thank you for the help you are to my studies

Sincerely Patricia

Ooops!  You´re dead right Haukur - thanks for pointing these typos out.  Just shows the truth of the old proverb - "more haste, less speed"

 

And please chip in if any of my feedback is not quite accurate.  I feel more confident knowing you´re there.

Cheers,

Sarah.

Hi, Sarah!

I haven't really been able to keep up with
the activity of the list since you started
doing your thing again ;)

One typo in your text:
"Haraldr konungi var sagt" -> "Haraldi konungi var sagt"

And we have:
"leiðr eptir sér dýrit"

I would have thought this should be 'leiðir'
as in the modern language.

Kveðja,
Haukur
