Meðan er Þórir var utan hafði andast Oddur faðir hans. 

While Thorir was abroad, his father Oddr had died.

Var þá uppgangur Hof-Halls sem mestur svo að hann sat nær yfir hvers manns hlut og virðing. 

It was then Hof-Hall's success as (the) greatest because he sat nearly over (any?) man's position and honor.

Hann deildi um hoftoll við Reyknesinga. 

He had a lawsuit about a temple-toll against the people of Reyknesing. 

Hann vildi og heimta toll fyrir vestan Þorskafjörð en Hallsteinn og þeir Reyknesingar höfðu reist Þórshof vestur þar síðan tréð hið mikla hafði rekið á land hans eftir sem blótaði og lögðu þeir þar tolla. 

He also wanted to claim a toll west of Thorskafiord, but Hallsteinn and the people of Reyknesing had carved Thor's-temple west there since the largest mast of a ship had drifted to his land after which they  worshipped and they built there a temple.

Voru af því dylgjur miklar með þeim Halli. 

Because of that there was much suppressed enmity between them.

Hallur hafði og í brott rekið móður Þóris, Valgerði, úr búi sínu en sett þar niður Þorbjörn stokk, ísfirskan mann, mikinn kappa, og Askmann hinn þunga. 

Hallr had also driven Thoris's mother, Valgerd, away, out of her farm and/but set there under Thorbjorn's log of wood, a man from Ice-fiord (C.V. íss), a great man of valor, who (Z. og 5) (is) Askmann the heavy.  

Hann bjó á Askmannsstöðum út frá Skógum.

He lived at Askman's-place out away from Skogum.

Þórir hélt vestur fyrir Þorskafjörð skipi sínu og lenti við Grenitrésnes. 

Thorir steered his ship west off Thorskafiord and landed by Grenitresnes (Lair-tree's-ness).

Þar fann hann Hallstein og aðra bændur og buðu þeir Þóri land inn frá Gröf milli áa tveggja. 

There he met Hallstein and another farmer and they offered Thori land in from Grof between two rivers (?).

Hallsteinn fékk honum búfé og Þuríði dóttur sína til forráða. 

Hallstein got him livestock and his daughter Thurid for guardianship.

Gekk Þórarinn son Hallsteins á skip með Þóri og voru þeir fimmtán á skipi en Hallsteinn fór hið efra með búferli Þóris og voru margir saman. 

Hallstein's son Thorarin went aboard ship wth Thorir, and they were fifteen on the ship, and/but Hallstein went by land with the Thorir's livestock and they were many (livestock?) together.    (Z. efri 1)

Koma þeir Þórir fyrr og ryðja skipið þar er nú heitir Búlkárós.

They, Thorir (and others) arive first and unload the ship where it is now called Bulkaros (Cargo-river-rain ???).

8. kafli

Nú er þar til að taka er Hyrningur Hallsson kom heim og segir alldrengilega frá för þeirra Þóris.

Now we must take up (the story) when Hyrningr Hallsson came home and speaks very gallantly about their, Thoris's (and the others), journey.

Hallur mælti: "Ólíkur ertu orðinn mér er þú vilt vera hlutræningur fyrir Þóri eða þá er þú settist aftur við hellinn og fylgdir honum eigi og víst eigi uni eg því að Þórir sitji einn yfir Valshellisgulli."

Hallr said: "You have become unlike me when you wanted to be robbed of your share before Thorir or when you remained behind at the cave and didn't follow him and I was certainly not content because Thorir sits alone over Valsehellisgull (Val's-cave's-gold)."

Hyrningur kvað hann þess vel hafa aflað en Hallur kvaðst eigi hirða um auvirðsskap hans og safnar að sér þrem tigum manna þá er hann sá för Þóris. 

Hyringr told him that has (was) well gained, but Hallr said for himself he doesn't care about his worthlessness and gathers to himself 30 men who he saw Thorir's journey.

Hann fer fyrir innan Þorskafjörð og fundust þeir við Búlkárós. 

He went further in Thorskafiord and they met by Bulkaros. 

Kallar Hallur þegar til gullsins við Þóri en hann synjar þverlega. 

Hallr immediately lays claim to the gold by Thorir, but he flatly refuses. 

Hallur veitir þá snarpa atgöngu. 

Hallr then gives (i.e., "launches") a vehement attack.

Hann hafði gullrekið spjót í hendi. 

He had a gold inlaid spear in (his) hand.

Hann hleypur í flokk Þóris og lagði hart fram en fyrir varð Þórarinn Hallsteinsson og stóð spjótið í gegnum hann. 

He leaps into Thorir's body of men and thrust hard forward and in front was Thorarinn, son of Hallstein, and the spear stuck through him.
