30. kafli - Af Geirmundi og Þuríði
Chapter 30 – Of Geirmundr and Þuríðr.

Ekki var margt um í samförum þeirra Geirmundar og Þuríðar. Var svo af beggja
(There) was not not much about (love, happiness, intimacy) in their wedded-life (ie their marriage was no great shakes), Geirmundr and Þuríðr. (It) was so from both

and proclaimed that (here, the dative object of lýsa, Z4), that Þuríðr would be (stay) behind and also their daughter who was called Gróa.

Sú mær var þá veturgömul. En fé vill Geirmundur ekki eftir leggja. Þetta
That girl was then a winter-old. But Geirmundr wants not to leave money (I´m not sure you can be certain but I suspect fé is accusative here, not dative) behind (eptir, Z.ii.2). This

pleases them, mother-and-daughter (but which mother and daughter J), very badly and they say (it) to Ólafr (how much say Gróa had in this is questionable J)

En Ólafur mælti þá: "Hvað er nú Þorgerður, er Austmaðurinn eigi jafn
But Ólafr then spoke: “What is (it) now, Þorgerðr, is the Easterner (Norwegian) not equally

stórlátur nú sem um haustið þá er hann bað þig mægðarinnar"
munificent now as during the autumn when he asked you for affinity-by-marriage?”

Komu þær engu á leið við Ólaf því að hann var um alla hluti samningarmaður,

Í þenna tíma átti Ólafur heimanför að annast um reka sína.
At this time, Ólafr had a journey-from-home to take-care-of his drift-wood (reki, Z1, simply seems to make more sense here).

Síðan kallar Þuríður dóttir hans til sín húskarla, bað þá fara með sér. Hún hafði og með

Þuríðr asked them (þá is acc pl of sá) to row or sail out along (eptir, Z3) Hvammsfjörðr. And when they come out to

hún kæmi aftur. Hún tók meyna í faðm sér og bað þá róa yfir strauminn þar
she should-come back. She took the-girl in her embracing-arms and asked them to row over (across, beyond?) the-current (stream) to there

She walked to that hammock which (er, Z2) Geirmundr was-sleeping in. The-sword Leg-Biter hung
