Here’s my translation

 

BTW, Cleasby-Vigfusson on herbergi (from the uncorrected scanned version on the net):

 

her-bergi, n. (her-byrgi, Gþl. 139, Stj. 204), [A. S. hereberga or here- beorga; Old Engl. herberoive, harbrough, and herber (Chaucer); mod. Engl. harbour, arbour; mid. H. G. herberge; Germ. berberge; Swed. her-berge; hence Ital. albergo and Vr. attberge~\: -- a harbour (prop. ' host- shelter'):

 

Cheers

Konungr mælti: "Villtu selja oss dýrit við slíku verði sem þú keyptir?" 

(The) king spoke: “Do you want to sell us (me!) the animal at such a price as you bought (it with)?”

 

Hann svarar:  "Eigi vil ek þat, herra." 

He answers: “I do not want that, lord.”

 

"Villtu þá," segir konungr, "at ek gefa þér tvau verð slík?

“Then do you want,” says (the) king, “that I give you two such prices? (twice the price)

 

ok mun þat réttara, ef þú hefir þar við gefit alla þína eigu." 

And that will be more just, if you have given therewith all your possessions (sg).”

 

"Eigi vil ek þat, herra", segir hann. 

“I do not want that, lord,” he says.

 

Konungr mælti: "Villtu gefa mér þá?" 

(The) king spoke: “Do you want to give (it) to me then?”

 

Hann svarar, "Eigi, herra." 

He answers, “No, lord”

 

Konungr mælti: "Hvat villtu þá af gøra?" 

(The) king spoke: “What do you want to do with (it) then?”

 

Hann svarar:  "Fara," segir hann, "til Denmerkr ok gefa Sveini konungi." 

He answers: “To go,” says he, “to Denmark and give (it) to King Sveinn”

 

Haraldr konungr segir, "Hvárt er, at þú ert maðr svá óvitr

King Harald says, “Which is (it): that you are a man so unaware

 

at þú hefir eigi heyrt ófrið þann er í milli er landa þessa,

that you have not heard of that hostility which exists between these countries,

 

eða ætlar þú giptu þína svá mikla, at þú munir þar komask með gørsimar,

or do you consider your good fortune so great, that you will make your way there with treasures,

 

er aðrir fá eigi komizk klakklaust, þó at nauðsyn eigi til?"

where others are not able to make their way unharmed, even though necessity obliges them to (go)?
