I am far from expert, and you should take this with a large
shaker of salt. Note that I have not tried for a literal
translation; rather, I've tried to keep the basic sense
while using words and constructions in which I have at least
some modest confidence. I've also tried to keep it from
getting too clumsy. This version follow neither the Old
Norse metres nor any familiar English structure, but I don't
think that it reads aloud *too* badly.

Skulum vér eigi gleyma
fornum frásǫgnum várum;
leggjum í minni allan þann val
sem fellr at fornu í bardaga.

We should not forget
our ancient tales;
we hold in memory all those slain
who fell of old in battle.

There are actually several versions of the younger futhark,
since there was variation both over time and by location.
However, a good generic version can be found at

<http://tattuinardoelasaga.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/the-language-of-the-vikings-runes/>,

along with an explanation of how to convert from the Roman
alphabet to runes. It's not an entirely mechanical process,
since in some you have to know the etymology of a word, but
this is probably the best short exposition for the layman
that you're likely to find.
