Here’s the next instalment of Hrafnkel’s Saga. Sorry for the delay. I needed a slightly longer Christmas break than I originally thought.

 

Kveðja

480 Nú sitja þeir, þar til er dómar fara út. Þá kveðr Sámr upp
menn sína ok gengr til lögbergs. Var þar þá dómr settr. Sámr
gekk djarfliga at dóminum. Hann hefr þegar upp váttnefnu
ok sótti mál sitt at réttum landslögum á hendr Hrafnkeli goða,
miskviðalaust með sköruligum flutningi. Þessu næst koma
485 þeir Þjóstarssynir með mikla sveit manna. Allir menn vestan
af landi veittu þeim lið, ok sýndisk þat, at Þjóstarssynir váru
menn vinsælir. Sámr sótti málit í dóm, þangat til er Hrafnkeli
var boðit til varnar, nema sá maðr væri þar við staddr, er
lögvörn vildi frammi hafa fyrir hann at réttu lögmáli. Rómr
490 varð mikill at máli Sáms. Kvazk engi vilja lögvörn fram bera
fyrir Hrafnkel.

Menn hlupu til búðar Hrafnkels ok sögðu honum, hvat um
var at vera.
Hann veiksk við skjótt ok kvaddi upp menn sína ok gekk til
495 dóma, hugði, at þar myndi lítil vörn fyrir landi. Hafði hann
þat í hug sér at leiða smámönnum at sœkja mál á hendr honum.
Ætlaði hann at hleypa upp dóminum fyrir Sámi ok hrekja
hann af málinu. En þess var nú eigi kostr. Þar var fyrir sá
mannfjölði, at Hrafnkell komsk hvergi nær. Var honum þrøngt
500 frá í brottu með miklu ofríki, svá at hann náði eigi at heyra mál
þeira, er hann sóttu. Var honum því óhægt at fœra lögvörn
fram fyrir sik. En Sámr sótti málit til fullra laga, til þess er
Hrafnkell var alsekr á þessu þingi.
