Sælir  Saell Alan

 

I’m not sure where everyone disappeared to over the past week but hopefully you’re ready for this, the next installment of Auðun.

 

We had May Day Mothers day and Friday the thirteenth Alan, perhaps they were Celebrating, I for one sent out a scary 13th card, would you have liked one (subj.?)

Síðan lætr hann í haf ok kømr í Nóreg

Later set he on the high seas and come to Norway

Afterwards he set sail on the ocean and arrived at Norway

 

ok lætr flytja upp varnað sinn,

and set to convey up his goods (sinn?pl?)

and had the goods (all his property) brought up on land

 

 ok þurfti nú meira við þat en fyrr, er hann var í Nóregi.

and needed now greater there upon than before (fyrr ? fyrir) + dative? when he was in Norway

This was greater trouble (to move the stuff ) than when he was last in Norway

 

Well of course, he was a wealthy man by now, last Harald saw him he only had a Bear, and no money

 

Hann ferr nú síðan á fund Haralds konungs

he goes now after to meet with Harald the King

He then goes to meet King Harald

 

ok vill efna þat er hann hét honum, áðr hann fór til Danmerkr,

and wishes to fulfill that when he promised to him (dat?)

He wishes to keep a promise that he made him (The King)

 

Rightly, he promised Harald the whole megillah of his travels

 

 ok kveðr konung vel. Haraldr konungr tók vel kveðju hans,

he greeted the King well, Harald the King tool (from taka) well greeting his.

he greeted the King warmly, and King Harald warmly received his (Auðun's) greeting

 

 'ok sezk niðr', segir hann, 'ok drekk hér með oss!' Ok svá gørir hann.

and sit down  says he        and drink here with Us   and thus he  (Auðun ) did
and so sit down said he,  and drink with Us here, and so he did.
There goes Harald  - Us - the use of the Royal Sec.Pers.Pl. and I like that so much
This has been a fine exercise to do Alan, thanks a lot, I hope my work shows the hours of study I've put in
Kveðja
