My machine went wonky in sending the message and
I've done my best work on it so rather than lose it here it is again in case
it did not hackle the first time.
I had trouble with ihugadi but thought to
look for huga/hugad and put it together from that also with, ættlaðak, and
Keyptak, I thought kaupir might help from Kaufen as in German, that was a
good guess !!!
So here we go with more enthusiasm than
skill.

Konungr ihugadi, hver þessi maðr myndi vera. er hann kendi
eigi.
King i(thought)i who this man shaped to be
he him knew not
The King considered who this man seemed to
be he did not know him
ok mælti siðan til Auðunar "Hverr ertu"? segir
hann
and spoke after to Auðan "who art thou"?
said he
and he spoke later to Auðan "Who are you"?
he said
Hann swarrar "Ek em Isledskr maðr Herra"
He answered "I am an Iceladish man
Lord"
He replied I am a an Icelandic man my
Lord"
"ok kominn nú utan af Groenlandi ok nú af Nóregi, ok
ætlaðak at fra yðr bjarndýrit þetta
and arrived now out of Greenland and also
Norway and (to think - mean) to bring to you bear this
"and came now from Greenland via Norway
intending to bring you this bear
Keyptak þat með allri eigu minni ok nú er þo á ordðit
mikil
from kauptir) it with all value mine
and now a great error
I gave all my wealth for it and now because
of a great mistake
fýrir mér; ek á nú halft eitt dýrit
before me I have now half of this
bear
here I have half a bear (or only half of
this bear)
ok segir Konungi, siðan hversu farit með þeim Aka ármanni
hans
and said to King later/afterward how it
fared with Aki steward his
and said to the King how it had fared
with Aki the King's Steward
so Sarah when seeing ihugadi I was minded
! of how in Old English you have something like methinks and he
ythought that extra y seems to mean that the subject gave it
thought, or considered. On Old Emglish it sometimes has he bethought
him to mean he remembered, this does help and German helps too with
Keyptir - kauptir - kaufen/kauft - well yes and a bit of guess work too
Patricia (I do not think King Sveinn will be
best pleased with Aki - just a hunch)
Konungr íhugaði, hverr þessi maðr myndi vera,
er hann kendi eigi, ok mælti síðan til Auðunar: "Hverr ertu?" segir
hann. Hann svarar: "Ek em Íslenzkr maðr, herra", segir hann,
"ok kominn nú útan af Groenlandi, ok nú af Nóregi, ok ætlaðak at foera yðr
bjarndýr þetta. Keyptak þat með allri eigu minni, ok nú er þó á
ordðit mikit fyrir mér; ek á nú hálft eitt dýrit", ok segir konungi síðan
hversu farit hafði með þeim Áka ármanni hans.
