“Þú níðir mik,” segir Þrípíó, “En ek frelsta þik tvisvar.”
“You make fun of me,” says 3PO, “and I rescued you twice.”
Artú mælti, “Heyrirðu nekkvat? Mér þóttisk at ek heyrða hestagný nekkvern.”
R2 said, “Do you hear something? It seemed to me that I heard some sounds
of horsemen.”
Þrípío sagði þetta Lúki.
3PO told this to Luke.
“Tuskinssynir,” segir Lúkr, “Ok ek vápnlauss. Fǫrum vit sem skjótast.”
“Tuskin’s sons,” says Luke, “And I am without weapons. Let us go as quickly
as possible.”
En maðr kom ríðandi at Lúki. Hann vas grímumaðr, ok hestr hans loðinn,
stórr, ok mjǫk skitinn.
But a man came riding toward Luke. He was a masked man and his horse (was)
shaggy, big and very dirty.
Sjá maðr hafði staf í vinstri hendi, ok sverð í hœgri. Sverðit kom á hǫndina

That man had a staff in (his) left hand and a sword in (the) right. The
sword (blow) came on the arm of 3PO and hewed (it) off. And

(the) staff came on Luke’s head, he fell to the earth disabled. But R2 was
a short man and found a hiding place in a cave.
Aðrir ránsmenn fylgðu nú; þeir rannsǫkuðu vistir Lúks ok Þrípíós. En es þeir

Other robbers followed now. They ransacked Luke’s and 3PO’s provisions.
And when they drew their swords

fled.
Sjá inn hvítskeggjaði maðr hné við Lúki, segir at hann sé eigi dauðr ok lítt

The white-bearded man knelt with Luke, tells (him) that he is not dead and
lightly wounded.
Lúkr vaknar. “Óbívan?” segir hann. “Óbívan inn gamli? Ek gleðjumk við, at
sjá þik.”
Luke awakens. “Obiwan?” says he, “Obiwan the old? I am happy to see you.”
“Eigi es Gunganhraunit auðfœrt,” segir Óbívan. “Segi mér, Lúkr ungi, fyr hví

“(It) is not easy to pass the Gunga lava field,” says Obiwan. “Tell me,
young Luke, why do you go so far (through) the Tattouin river dale?”
Lúkr mælti, “Sakir þessa þræls. Hann leitar þess herra, es leysti hann.

En Óbívan mælti, “Víga-Óbívan Kvæggansson. Víga-Óbívan. Þat nafn hefik lengi

And Obiwan said, “Slayer Obiwan Kvaeggan’s son. Slayer Obiwan. I have not
heard that name in a long time.”
