Þá sér hann hvar Stígandi hleypr.
Then he sees where Stigandi leaps.


Hann krækir þegar króksvíðunni í kampinn á Skeggja ok dregr hann at sér.
He immediately hooks the crooked weapon into Skeggji’s beard and draws him to himself.

Vatn eitt var nærri þeim.
A certain lake was near them.


Hann dregr Skeggja út í vatnit.
He drags Skeggi out in the water.


Fór þá svá sem vant var, at Stíganda tók eigi djúpara vatnit enn jafnsitt skóm.
It went as customarily, that Stigangdi didn’t get deeper in the water than the edge of his shoes.


Skeggja var óhægt at koma sundlátum við þvíat krókrinn var fastr í kjaptinum, en þó kafaði hann svá næri fæti hans at hann beit af honum tána ina stærstu.
Skeggi was uncomfortable to come with swimming movements because the crook was stuck in his jaw, but still he dove so near his feet that he bit off his big toe.

Stígandi stakk ór honum bæði augun.
Stigandi stuck out both his eyes.


Ok sleppti hann honum síðan ok fáð hann þá eigi í burt af vatninu.
And slipped him afterwards and he didn’t get? then away from the water.


Ok drukknaði hann þar.
and he drowned there.


Þeir Toppr ok Kampi sóttu báðir at Knúti.
Toppr and Kampi both attacked Knutr.


Þá kom Hörðr fram ór skóginum.
Then Hordr came forward out of the forest.


Toppr sneri þegar í móti Herði ok hjó til hans öxi, en hann brá við stjölnum ok stökk úr munnin úr öxinni.
Toppr turns at once against Hordr and struck at his shoulders, but he turned with his rump and stuck out of the mouth out of the shoulders?

Hörðr hljóp þá at honum ok rak hann niðr fall mikit.
Hordr ran at him then and drove him down in a great fall.


Settist síðan á hann ofan svá fast at brotnaði í honum hvert bein.
Then he sat down on him so hard that both his legs were broken.

Eigi bitu vápn á Kampa.
Weapons didn’t cut Kampi.


Knútr greip í kampa honum ok snaraði hann úr hálsliðinum.
Knutr seized his beard and turned his (neck) out of the neck joint.


Sökktu þeir þeim niðr í vatnit.
They sank down in the lake.


Síðan fóru þeir heim í sæluhúsit ok bjuggust um.
Afterwards they went to the hospice and settled in.


Hörðr lá við þilit öðru megin en Knútr öðru megin.
Hordr lay along the paneling on one side and Knutr on the other.


Stígandi lá í miðit.
Stigandi lay in the middle.


En þegar er þeir váru nýsofnaðir þá lét Knútr illa í svefni; færði hann fætrna við þilinu.
And as soon as they were newly asleep, then Knutr became restless in his sleep, he brought his feet along the paneling.


Var þá ylgr komin í fang honum ok vildi bíta hann.
Then a she-wolf had come into grappling with him and wanted to bite him.


En hann tók sterkliga í mót; hon færði kryppuna við þilinu en setti klærnar í bringu honum.
He resisted strongly, she brought the hump along the paneling and set her claws in his chest.


Hörðr hrökk undan sviptingum þeira.
Hordr lashed from under their wrestling.


Setti hann kryppuna við timbrveggnum svá at hann brotnaði, ok komust þeir þar út.
He set the hump against the wooden wall so that it broke and they got out there.

Stígandi krækti í huppinn á ylginni ok reif út ór henni garnirnar, en Hörðr hljóp á bak henni ok brotnaði þá í henni hryggrinn.
Stigandi hooked the wolf’s ?? and tore it out, out of her yarns??, and Hordr jumped on her back and then broke her backbone.


En svá hafði hon sett klærnar í bringu Knúti at berir skinu við bringuteinarnir.
But since she had set (her) claws in Knutr’s chest, that it brings the shine
of his ribcage.


Þá var Hlégerðr þar komin.
Then Hlegerdr had come.


Knútr hjó til hennar, en hon varð at kráku ok fló upp.
Knutr hewed at her, but she became a crow and flew up.


Höggit kom á vænginn ok tók af henni vænginn.
The blow came on the cheek and took off her cheek.


Fló hon þá til norðrættar ok hvarf þeim skjótt.
She flew then to north?? and quickly vanished.
