âFjÇ«lkyngi sá fylgir ættmÇ«nnum mÃnum, at vér kúgum létt þá, es ósnjallir eru, ok trúi þeir Ç«llum þeim orðum es vér segjum þeim ef þau eigi hljóða of lygileg,â segir VÃga-Ã"bÃvan, âOk sjá fjÇ«lkyngi fylgir ættfólki þÃnu, eða svá sýnisk mér.â
Such wizardry follows my kinsmen, that we cow easily then, (those) who are not-eloquent, and they believe all the words that we tell them if they donât sound overly false.â (i.e., we donât tell too tall a tale) says Slayer-Obiwan, âAnd these kinsmen follow your kinsmen, or so it seems to me.â
âSýnisk þér at vit fengum skip fundit hér, es mun fÅ"ra okkr til Aldiransveita?â segir Lúkr.
âDoes it seem to you that we get hold of a ship found (?) here, which will convey us to (the) Aldiran-regions?â says Luke.
âJá,â kvað VÃga-Ã"bÃvan, âHér eru margir góðir stýrimenn með mÇ«rg góð skip.
âYes,â said Slayer-Obiwan, âHere are many good captains with many good ships.
En verðu þik â" hér eru òk margir rauðvÃkingar, ok þeir skyli eigi bifask at drápi búandasonar nekkvers.â
But defend yourself â" Here are also many great pirates, and they should not tremble at (the) slaughter of any son of a farmer.â
âEk em búinn,â segir Lúkr, âat berjask við nekkvern sem helst.â
âI am ready,â says Luke, âto fight with whomever.â
âÃat ifa ek um,â kvað VÃga-Ã"bÃvan.
â I dought that,â said Slayer-Obiwan. (Z. efa - e. um e-t, to doubt about a thing)

Ãessu næst es þat at segja, at VÃga-Ã"bÃvan ok Lúkr gingu inn à húsit, ok með þá vÇru þeir Artú ok ÃrÃpÃó DÃtússynir.
This next is to say that, that Slayer-Obiwan and Luke went in to the house, and with them were them, R2 and 3PO, sons of D2.
En sú kona, es skenktu mjǫð þar Ã, sá þá Ãra, sÇ«gðu þá at hon vildi aldri skenkja þrælum mjǫð, ok at Ãra skyli hon aldri biðja vesa velkominn à hús Vattós.
But the woman, who served mead there in, saw the Irish, told them that she would never serve thralls mead, and that she should never bid be welcome Irish in Vattoâs house.
âJá, ÃrÃpÃó,â segir Lúkr, âIt Artú eruð fyrirbannaðir hér.
âYes, 3PO,â says Luke, âR2 is forbidden here.
Biðið it úti með hestinn minn.â
Wait out with my horse.â
âGjarna, herra,â segir ÃrÃpÃó, ok þeir brÅ"ðr fóru innan.
âWillingly, lord,â says 3PO, and the brothers went in.
MÇ«rg menn vÇru þar Ã, ok klæði þeira ok tungumál birtu þat, at þeir vÇru þangat komnir frá mÇ«rgum óglÃkum lÇ«ndum.
Many men were in there, and their clothes and language revealed that, that they had come there from many (óglÃkum = different?) lands.
Ãeir sátu yfir mÇ«rgum litlum borðum, ok þeir drukku ok tÇ«luðusk við, ok nekkverir léku at tafli, meðan fjórir menn blésu à hornum ok tónuðu.
They sat at many little tables, and they drank and talked amount themselves, and some played a board game, while four men blew the trumpet (or other horn) and sang(?).
VÃga-Ã"bÃvan tók til at talask við nekkverja menn, en Lúkr sat yfir borði ok drakk mjǫð einn saman.
Slayer-Obiwan began to speak with some men, and/but Luke sat a table and drank mead alone.
En maðr hristi hann, talandi tungumál þat es Lúkr skilði eigi.
A man shook him, speaking that language which Luke didnât understand.
Lúkr lét sem hann eigi heyrði.
Luke made as if he didnât hear.
