Sveinbjorn lived in Arna's firth on the farm, which is called Eyri.

Hann átti konu þá, er Steinunn hét. 

He married the woman who was named Steinunn.

Hon var Þórðardóttir, Oddleifssonar. 

She was a daughter of Thord, (who was) son of Oddleif.

Sveinbjörn var goðorðsmaðr ok vitr, ok mikill atferðarmaðr, læknir góðr.

Sveinbjorn was a temple-priest and wise, and a very energetic man, a good physician.

  

Atli, föðurfaðir hans hafði verit með Magnúsi konungi inum góða Óláfssyni í bardaga á Hlýrskógsheiði, þá er hann barðist við Vindi. 

Atli, his grandfather, had dwelt with King Magnus the good, son of Olaf the Scourge in Hlyrskogsheidi, when he fought against Vindi.

Þá vitraðist Óláfr konungr Magnúsi, syni sínum, bað hann velja tólf menn af öllum herinum, þá er væri af inum beztum ættum, til þess at þeir bindi sár manna. 

Then Olafr revealed himself in a dream to king Magnus, his son, (and) asked him to choose 12 from all men, those who would be from the best families, to this: that they bind up a man's wounds.

En hann kveðst þat þiggja mundu af guði, at í hvers þeira kyni skyldi síðan lækning haldast, er þar væri til valdir sár manna at binda. 

And/but he said for himself he wouldn't receive a god (??), that in who their kin should then a cure be kept safe and sound, which there would be to cause men's wounds to bind up.

En eftir bardagann skipaði hann þeim til at binda sár manna, því at fáir váru læknar í liði hans, en menn váru margir sárir orðnir. 

And/but after the battle, he assigned them to bind men's wounds, because few were cured in his troops, but many men had become wounded.

Þar batt Atli sár manna fyrsta sinn at boðorði Magnúss konungs ok var síðan algerr læknir sem allir þeir, er þar bundu sár manna. 

Atli bound there his first man at King Magnuss' order, and it was then made perfectly cured who all they, is there bound man's wounds.

Svá kom lækning af guðs miskunn fyrsta sinn í kyn Bárðar svarta. 

So came the curing of god's first mercy to Bardar Black's kinsmen.
