Sael Alan the more I do of this work the more I like it
 
 
Ok er leið stund ok skipit var albúit,
 and In the course of time (in a while) the ship was all made ready
In a while the ship was entirely ready
 
þá mælti Sveinn konungr við Auðun: 'Þó villtu nú á braut, þá mun ek nú ekki letja þik.
then spoke Sweinn the King with Auðun Though you want to go away, then must I not hinder thee (sing.)
Though you want to go away now, I shall not dissuade you
 
En þat hefi ek spurt, at ilt er til hafna fyrir landi yðru, ok eru víða ørœfi ok hætt skipum.
but that I have been told(from spyrja)  badly is your Country for a harbour, all open coast and danger to ships
But I have heard that your Country is poorly off for a harbour, it's coatline is open and dangerous to ships
 
This is where I got a bit mixed up I think Sweinn is trying to warn him
 
 Nú brýtr þú ok týnir skipinu ok fénu,
Now should (? subj) you crash and lose the ship and the goods / wealth
Now if you crashed and lost the Ship and all the goods
 
lítt sér þat þá á, at þú hafir fundit Svein konung ok gefit honum gorsimi.'
little for oneself (?dat) that thou hast (sing) met Sweinn the King and gave him a Treasure ('sing)
Little you would have to show you had met King Sweinn and gave him a treasure
 
Síðan (seldi) konungr honum leðrhosu fulla af silfri, '
after that (from Selja) The King to him (dat?) a leathern pouch very full with silver
because of that, the King Presented (I prefer that) him with a leathern pouch all full of silver
 
Sweinn is the Master of the Grand Gesture
 
ok ertu þá enn eigi félauss með öllu, þótt þú brjótir skipit, ef þú fær haldit (?subj) þessu.
and wouldst thou then not be penniless withal (allr - öllu) if thou fast hold to this
you would not be penniless is all was lost so you held on to this
 
lost again
 
 Verða má svá enn', segir konungr, 'at þú týnir þessu fé:
Happen to be able (?) this way moreover says the king that thou lost this money also (implied)
It might still happen moreover says the King that you could lose this  money as well
 
 lítt nýtr þú þá þess, er þú fant Svein konung ok gaft honum gørsimi'
little use to thee then this, since thou hadst met Sveinn the King and gave to him a treasure
little use would this be to you to say you met King Sweinn and gave him a Treasure
 
I see  Gorsimi as  - A treasure, for there was but one Bear, and I tend to hang on to the Old forms of thou and thee and the hadst etc.. I want it seen that I know my sing from my Pl.
I would like this niðing machine to do things in the color I want.
