Þat er nú sagt einhverju sinni of várit,  

it is said that sometime (I got lost here)

 at konungr býðr Auðuni at vera með sér álengðar,

the King iffers Auðun to stay with him for the future

ok kvezk myndu gøra hann skutilsvein sinn ok leggja til hans góða virðing.

and wishes to make him His Own cup-bearer and place on him great honour

 Auðun segir, 'Guð þakki yðr, herra, sóma þann allan er þér vilið til mín leggja;

Auðun says "May God thank you (pl) Lord (soma) as much as you would (?subj) dispose on my place ( or as much as you wish to give me honour)

 en hitt er mér í skapi at fara út til Íslands.'

it (?occurs) to me (dat?) to prefer to travel forth to Iceland

 Konungr segir, 'Þetta sýnisk mér undarliga kosit".

The King says "That, to me, seems an extraordinary choice"

 Auðun mælti: 'Eigi má ek þat vita, herra', segir hann, 'at ek hafa hér mikinn sóma með yðr,

Auðun answers " I cannot bear to know Lord said he "that I have here such great honour with you"

en móðir mín troði stafkarls stíg út á Íslandi;

and my Mother wanders living as a Vagrant in Iceland  (implies - meanwile)

því at nú er lokit björg þeiri er ek lagða til, áðr ek fœra af Íslandi.'

because by now it is used up, the provisions I had placed for her to; I could (?subj) return to Iceland

 Konungr svarar: 'Vel er mælt', segir hann, 'ok mannliga, ok muntu verða giptumaðr.

The King spoke  " That is well answered" says he "and Valiantly (or honourably) and you shall be a fortunate man"   

 Sjá einn var svá hlutrinn, at mér myndi eigi mislíka at þú fœrir í braut heðan.

This alone would make me not displeased if you travel away from here

Ok ver nú með mér þar til er skip búask.' Hann gørir svá.

and stay now with me then, until a ship is Prepared  he (gøra) thus. I guess - he did even so. might be right here

Alan I am unsure, exactly, but I am getting used to the tenses and to seeing the subjunctive more easily like - "until I could return" it was what he would have liked to have done, but the outcome at that time was uncertain, would you please advise

I find using the "Tricolor" gets in the way now, so - black and blue with green for notes I hope that suits, better. I have left spaces for your corrections

Subject: RE: [norse_course] Auðun section 16

Here is the next installment of Auðun.  It’s a slightly longer sections than normal but I couldn’t find a natural break mid paragraph.

 

The “hooked o” has been banished and replaced throughout with ö :o) J

 

Given that Laurel is interested in resuming Hrafnkels saga, but has little spare time before the end of April, I will postpone the resumption to early May.
