Þá spurði Haraldr konungr: 'Hverju launaði Sveinn konungr þér dýrit?'

Then King Harald asked, “How did King Svein reward you for the bear?”

 

Auðun svarar: 'Því, herra, at hann þá at mér.' Konungr sagði: 'Launat

Auðun answers, “So much, [I interpreted 'því' as '(in) that (way)' but equally I see it could be '(to) that (extent)', ie 'so much so'] lord, that he then [accepted, þá is past tense of þiggja] to me(these are the phrases

that totally do me in - - a whole collection of little words that I can

look up, but make no sense of)? [all together: in that way that he accepted it from me]”  The King said, “I would

 

mynda ek þér því hafa. Hverju launaði hann enn?' Auðun svarar: 'Gaf

have rewarded you so much [see comments above].  How did he further reward you?”  Auðun

answers, “He gave

 

hann mér silfr til suðrgöngu.' Þá segir Haraldr konungr, 'Mörgum mönnum

me silver to go south [a south-going (noun)ie on a pilgrimage].” Then says King Harald, “King Svein gave many men

 

gefr Sveinn konungr silfr til suðrgöngu eða annarra hluta, þótt ekki

silver to go south [as above] but ?? [or other things], though not (any who)[they, ie the 'mörgum mönnum']

 

fœri honum gørsimar. Hvat er enn fleira?' 'Hann bauð mér', segir Auðun,

brought him great treasure[s, plural].  What is yet more?”  “He asked [offered to] me” says Auðun

 

'at gørask skutilsveinn hans ok mikinn sóma til mín at leggja.' 'Vel

to become his page and (he would) [to] lay great honor upon me.” “Well

 

var þat mælt', segir konungr, 'ok launa myndi hann enn fleira.' Auðun

was that said,” says the king, “and he would(have?) [yes] rewarded (you) even more.” Auðun

 

sagði, 'Gaf hann mér knörr með farmi þeim er hingat er bezt varit í

said,” He gave me a ship with cargo [that, demonstrative article place after noun] ??  hither which is the best [valued] in

 

Nóreg.' 'Þat var stórmannligt', segir konungr, 'en launat mynda ek þér

Norway .”  That was magnificent,” says the king, “but I would have

rewarded you thus.

 

því hafa. Launaði hann því fleira?'

Did he reward (you with) more for this reason? [(in) that (matter)?]”
