Translation plus one line of pseudo-scholarly commentary:
Lambi reiddist mjög við orðtak þeirra og kvað þá kunna sig ógerla er þeir veittu honum átölur "því að eg hefi dregið yður undan dauða," segir hann.
Lambi became very angry with their words and told them to know not exactly when they gave him a rebuke "because I have escaped your death," he says.
Skiptust þeir síðan fám orðum við því að hvorumtveggjum líkaði þá verr en áður.
They then part with few words because each of the two liked them worse than the other.
Ríður Lambi heim til bús síns.

Then Thorgils recited this verse [some manuscripts add "knowing how much such poems would cause difficulties for future translators of Old Icelandic"]
Sóttum heim að Helga,
We attacked Helgi at (his) home,
hrafn létum ná svelgja,
We let the raven get to take a deep draft,
ruðum fagrröðuls eiki

Þrjá létum þar falla,
