Ólafur svarar: "Þetta samir eigi að þér frændur leggist hendur á.

38. kafli - Af Stíganda
Chapter 38 – Of Stígandi

Nú er að segja frá Stíganda. Hann gerðist útilegumaður og illur viðureignar.
Now (one) is to say about Stígandi. He became a highwayman and an absolute-pain-to-deal-with.

Þórður hét maður. Hann bjó í Hundadal. Hann var auðigur maður og ekki
(There) was a man called Þorðr. He lived in Hundadalr (Dale of Dogs). He was a wealthy person (man) and (but) not

mikilmenni. Það varð til nýlundu um sumarið í Hundadal að fé nytjaðist illa
a powerful-man.  That happened as a strange-thing during the-summer in Hundadalr that (the) sheep yielded-milk poorly

en kona gætti fjár þar. Það fundu menn að hún varð gripaauðig og hún var
but (and) a woman attended (the) sheep there. People (men) noticed that, that she became rich-in-precious-things (sounds a bit like a tautology to me) and she was

löngum horfin svo að menn vissu eigi hvar hún var. Þórður bóndi lætur henni nauðga
continuously lost-to-sight (hverfa, Z2) such that people (men) knew not where she was. Farmer Þórðr caused to compel her

til sagna og er hún verður hrædd þá segir hún að maður kemur til
to a statement (to ´fess up) and when she becomes afraid then she says that a person (man) comes to

fundar við hana, "sá er mikill," segir hún, "og sýnist mér vænlegur."
a meeting with (to see) her, “that-one (he) is tall,” says she, “and seems to me fine (handsome).”

Þá spyr Þórður hversu brátt sá maður mundi koma til fundar við hana. Hún
Then Þórðr asks how soon that person (man) would (next) come to a meeting with (to see) her. She

kvaðst vænta að það mundi brátt vera.
declared-of-herself to expect that that would be soon. (that´s how soon!)

Eftir þetta fer Þórður á fund Ólafs og segir honum að Stígandi mun eigi
After this Þórðr travels to a meeting of (to see) Ólafr and says to him that Stígandi will not

starts off at once (see bregða við skjótt, bregða, Z7) and travels into Hundadalr. The-bondwoman is then asked for an interview with

hann. Spyr þá Ólafur hvar bæli Stíganda væri. Hún kvaðst það eigi vita.
him. Ólafr then asks where (the) lair of Stígandi was. She declared-of-herself not to know.

Ólafur bauð að kaupa að henni ef hún kæmi Stíganda í færi við þá.
Ólafr offered to make-a-bargain for her if she should-bring Stígandi into an opportunity (for attack) with them.

Þessu kaupa þau saman.
They bargain this (strike this bargain) together.

Um daginn fer hún að fé sínu. Kemur þá Stígandi til móts við hana. Hún
During the day she goes to her sheep. Then Stígandi comes towards her. She

fagnar honum vel og býður að skoða í höfði honum. Hann leggur höfuðið í kné henni
greets him well and offers to inspect in his head. He lays the-head on her knee

og sofnar skjótlega. Þá skreiðist hún undan höfði honum og fer til
and falls-asleep quickly. Then she slinks from-under his head and goes to

a meeting of (to see) them, Ólafr (and co) and says to them where then (it) was come (how the plan had progressed). They go to Stígandi and

ræða um með sér að hann skal eigi fara sem bróðir hans að hann skyldi það

Stígandi vaknaði við þetta og bregður nú engum viðbrögðum því að margir menn
Stígandi awoke with this and makes now no sudden-movements because many people (men)

hlíðina. Þar var fagurt landsleg og grasloðið. En því var líkast sem

a whirlwind had come upon (it). (It) turned the earth upside down so that never after-that came up (sprouted) grass there

Þar heitir nú á Brennu. Síðan berja þeir Stíganda grjóti í hel og þar
There is-called now at Brenna (the Burning). After-that they stone Stígandi to death (lit: bear stones at Stigandi into Hell) and there

There is-called Knarrarnes where he was buried and he walked again (as a ghost) much.
