I agree Sarah, Aki is a greedy pig
Áki lézk selja mundu honum vistir ef hann vildi
Aki would sell (/) to him
provisions if he wished it
Aki offered to sell him provisions if he
wanted them (mundu ?)
Auðun kvesk ekki til hafa fyrir at gefa "en ek vilda þo"
segir hann ( kvesk - kveða ?)
Auðun (?kveða) nothing to have in front that
to give "but I would nevertheless" said he
Auðun (declared) he had nothing in hand to
give him "but I sould nonethe less " he said
"at þetta kvæmisk til leiðar at ek mætta dýrit fra
Konungi
that this ? (kvæmisk) to lead that ? a costly
animal and bring it to the King
that this ( no idea
) to lead this costly animal and give it to the King
Ek mun fá þér vistir. sem it þurfuð
I am able ( ) food such as it
needs
I can give you food such as it
needs
Til kinungs fundar en þar i móte vil ek eiga halft
dyrit
to the Kings meeting but therefore in ( exch?)
will I possess half animal
to meet with the King, but therefore I
will own half of the animal
ok máttu á þat lita, at dýrit mun deyja fyrir þér, þars
it
and ( ??) so that consider the animal is able
to die before you where it
and ( ??) consider the bear could die on you
because it
þurfuð vistir miklar, en fé sé farit ok er búit við at þú
hafir þa ekki dyrsins
needs food much but money is needed and it may
be ( ) that you have thus no Bear
needs a lot of food, but you need money and
it may be you will have no bear at all
Aki is a mean beast to take such advantage,
they had no NSPCA in those days, but
I hope he does not get the money, it was most
like his Boss's food and not his to give
or withhold

Enter Evil Aki to throw a spanner in the
works!!
Áki lézk selja mundu honum vistir, ef hann
vildi. Auðun kvezk ekki til hafa fyrir at gefa; "en ek vilda þó",
segir hann "at þetta kvæmisk til leiðar at ek mætta dýrit foera
konungi." "Ek mun fá þér vistir, sem it þurfuð, til konungs fundar; en
þar í móti vil ek eiga hálft dýrit. Ok máttu á þat líta, at dýrit mun
deyja fyrir þér, þars it þurfuð vistir miklar, en fé sé farit, ok er búit
við at þú hafir þá ekki dýrsins."
