I will post the next section on Friday evening (Australian time)

 

 

Auðun sagði, 'Gaf hann mér leðrhosu fulla af silfri

Auðun said, ’He gave me a leatherbag full of silver

 

ok kvað mik þá eigi félausan, ef ek helda því,

and declared me then not (to be) penniless, if I held (on to) that,

 

þó at skip mitt bryti við Ísland.'

even though my ship wrecked in Iceland.’

 

Konungr sagði: 'Þat var ágætliga gört,

(The) king said: ’That was honorably done,

 

ok þat mynda ek ekki gört hafa:

and I would not have done that:

 

lauss mynda ek þykkjask, ef ek gæfa þér skipit.

I would think myself free (from further obligation) if I gave you the ship.

 

Hvárt launaði hann fleira?'

Can it be he rewarded you more?’

 

'Svá var víst, herra', segir Auðun, 'at hann launaði:

”So (it) is true, Lord,’ says Auðun, ’that he rewarded (me more):

 

hann gaf mér hring þenna

he gave me this ring

 

er ek hefi á hendi, ok kvað svá mega at berask,

which I have on (my) hand/arm, and declared (it) may happen thus,

 

at ek týnda fénu öllu, ok sagði mik þá eigi félausan,

that I lost all the possessions (sg), and said me then not (to be) penniless,

 

ef ek ætta hringinn, ok bað mik eigi lóga,

if I had the ring, and bade me not to part with (it),

 

nema ek ætta nökkurum tignum manni svá gott at launa,

unless I must (had a duty to) reward some noble man (for) (a) good (deed)

 

at ek vilda gefa

that I wanted to give (it to).
