Svá skal ek þjarma

So I shall handle

þér at brjósti,

you roughly at mind,

at hjarta þitt

at your heart

höggormar gnagi,

vipers would gnaw,

en eyru þín

but your ears

aldregi heyri

never hear

ok augu þín

and your eyes

úthverf snúist,

turned inside out,

nema þú Bósa

except you Bosi

björg of veitir

gives help concerning

ok honum Herrauð

and to Herraudr

heift upp gefir.

give up spite,

Ef þú siglir,

If you sail,

slitni reiði,

would end tossed,

en af stýri

but from the rudder

stökkvi krókar,

would spring hooks,

rifni reflar,

tapestries would split,

reki segl ofan,

would drive the sail down,

en aktaumar

and/but braces of a sail

allir slitni,

all would snap,

nema þú Herrauð

except you 

heift upp gefir

give up spite to Herraudr

ok svá Bósa

and so to Bosi

biðir til sátta.

ask for an agreement.

Ef þú ríðr,

If you ride,

raskist taumar,

reins would be disturbed,

heltist hestar,

(the) horses would become lame,

en hrumist klárar,

and/but cart-horses would be enfeebled 

en götur allar

and/but all paths

ok gagnstígar

and shortcuts

troðist allar

all thronged

í tröllhendr fyrir þér,

in giant hands for you,

nema þú Bósa

except you

bjargir veitir

give help to Bosi

ok Herrauð

and 

heift upp gefir.

make an agreement with Herraud.

Sé þér í hvílu

I see you in bed

sem í hálmeldi,

as in straw (??),

en í hásæti

and/but in the high-seat

sem á hafbáru;

as at a wave;

þó skal þér seinna

yet shall your slow

sýnu verra,

sons worse,

en ef þú vilt við meyjar

than if you wanted with maidens

manns gaman hafa,

to have man's pleasure,

villist þú þá vegarins;

would you then want the way;

eða viltu þulu lengri?"

our did you want a longer string of words?"

Þá svarar konungr: "Þegi þú, vánd vættr, ok vert í burtu, elligar mun ek láta meiða þik fyrir forbænir þínar."

Then the king answers: "Shut up, wretched being, and (vert = go???) away, or else I will have you maimed because of your evil imprecations."
