Þaðan fór hún á fund Leifs bróður síns og bað að hann gæfi henni hús þau er hann hafði gera látið á Vínlandi.
Thence she went to meet Leif, her brother, and asked him to give her the houses he had had made in Vinland.
En hann svarar hinu sama, kveðst ljá mundu hús en gefa eigi.
But he replies the same (as before) he will lend but not give.
Sá var máldagi með þeim bræðrum og Freydísi að hvorir skyldu hafa þrjá tigi vígra manna á skipi og konur umfram.
These were the agreements/plans between the brothers and Freydis they were each to have thirty men - fighting fit in his/her ship and women in addition.
[worth noting vigr- spear but vígra - in good fighting condition (Z)]
En Freydís brá af því þegar og hafði fimm mönnum fleira og leyndi þeim og urðu þeir bræður eigi fyrri við þá varir en þeir komu til Vínlands.
But Freydis broke that at once and had five extra men and hid them but the brothers did not become aware of it until they had reached Vinland
Nú létu þau í haf og höfðu til þess mælt áður að þau mundu samflota hafa ef svo vildi verða, og þess var lítill munur.
Now they put to sea and had discussed it before that they would sail together if it was wanted, and this was nearly the case (ie.not far from it - nearly done)
En þó komu þeir bræður nokkuru fyrri og höfðu upp borið föng sín til húsa Leifs.
But the Brothers had come early and carried up their goods/ possessions to Leif's house
En er Freydís kom að landiþá ryðja þeir skip sitt og bera upp til húss föng sín.
But when Freydis came to land (her lot & Co) they unloaded their ship and carried up it's goods and possessions to the (same) house
Þá mælti Freydís: "Hví báruð þér inn hér föng yður?"
Then said Freydis "Why did you bring your stuff in here"
"Því að vér hugðum," segja þeir, "að haldast muni öll ákveðin orð með oss."
Because we thought" they say "that it will hold all agreement you had with us"
"Mér léði Leifur húsanna," segir hún, "en eigi yður."
"To me, Leif loaned these houses" says she "not to you two"
Þá mælti Helgi: "Þrjóta mun okkur bræður illsku við þig."
Then said Helgi "We cannot be equal with you in wickedness"
(lit. we brothers fail with your wickedness)
Báru nú út föng og gerðu sér skála og settu þann skála firr sjónum á vatnsströndu og bjuggu vel um. En Freydís lét fella viðu til skips síns.
Now they carry out their goods and made for themselves huts away from the sea and on the shore of a lake and fenced off well. But Freydis had wood felled for her ship
Nú tók að vetra og töluðu þeir bræður að takast mundu upp leikar og væri höfð skemmtan.
Now it turned to Winter and the Brothers said they would take to games and would have entertainment
Svo var gert um stund þar til er menn bárust verra í milli.
Thus it went for a while until it was that men contended together
Og þá gerðist sundurþykki með þeim og tókust af leikar og öngar gerðust komur milli skálanna. Og fór svo fram lengi vetrar.
And then discord happened and they ceased their games and no one came between (visited??) the huts and it went so for the long Winter.
Það var einn morgun snemma að Freydís stóð upp úr rúmi sínu og klæddist og fór eigi í skóklæðin en veðri var svo farið að dögg var fallin mikil.
Then it was one morning early that Freydis got up and dressed but did not put on her shoes, the weather had changed - much dew had fallen
Hún tók kápu bónda síns og fór í en síðan gekk hún til skála þeirra bræðra og til dyra.
She took her husband's cape/cloak and went in (to get her shoes??) and after that she went to the huts of the brothers and to the door,
En maður einn hafði út gengið litlu áður og lokið hurð aftur á
miðjan klofa.
And one man had come out just before and the door was closed half-way
Hún lauk upp hurðinni og stóð í gáttum stund þá og þagði. En
Finnbogi lá innstur í skálanum og vakti.
She opened the door and stood in the doorway and was quiet.
But Finnbogi lay in the innermost (furthest from the door) of the house and he woke up.
Freydis - now are we supposed to mind that much - whether she has shoes - or that she went back for them or whatsoever - she seems very spiteful - and sly - another Hallgerð belike !!
What is the point of concern - that she has footwear - if I have that translated correctly - it sounds a tad tautological
Any Critique welcomed
