Hefir Auðun dýr sitt með sér, ok ætlar nú at fara suðr til Danmerkr á fund Sveins konungs, ok gefa honum dýrit. 

 Authun has his animal with him, and intends (now) to travel south to Denmark to meet king Svein and give him the animal

 Ok er hann kom suðr í landit, þar sem konungr var fyrir, þá gengr hann upp af skipi, ok leiðr eptir sér dýrit, ok leigir sér

And when he came south in the land there where the king was, he goes off the skip leading the animal after him and gets himself lodging

herbergi.

 Haraldr konungi var sagt brátt at þar var komit bjarndýri, gørsimi mikil, ok á Íslenzkr maðr. 

Haraldr king was soon told  that there had come a bear, a great treasure, and an Icelandic man.

 Konungr sendir þegar menn eptir honum; ok er Auðun kom fyrir konung, kveðr hann konung vel. 

King sends immediately men after him, and when Authunn came before the king he greets the king well.

 Konungr tók vel kveðju hans ok spurði síðan: "Áttu gørsimi mikla í bjarndýri?" 

The king took his greeting well  and asked then: Do you own a treasure being a bear?

 Hann svarar ok kvezk eiga dýrit eitthvert. 

He answers and says that he owns an animal.

I wasn´t sure how to translate "gørsimi mikla í bjarndýri" but I tried with " being a bear", there must be a better way to translate it. 

Hello! 

 

Here is the next installment.  Do start posting up your translations whenever you are ready, but I will not be getting back to you before Fri 12th Nov because I am away for a week.  I will try to complete the feedback by the end of that weekend and post up the next section.

 

Cheers,

Sarah.
