Now when Lopt was without fixed abode, he travelled north
into Dýrafjörð to Mýrar.

> Þar bjó Mögr, er fyrr var getit.

Lopt bought the land from Mög without asking Hrafn about it
[‘so that he did not ask Hrafn about [it]’] and moved his
household thither.

GPH explains at some length that the precise meaning of the
second clause isn’t clear; I’ve adopted what she describes
as the most natural interpretation, which was also the one
that actually occurred to me.

Now when Hrafn heard that Lopt had brought his household at
Mýrar, Hrafn was displeased with Lopt about the purchase of
land and setting up of a household, because Lopt was a very
self-assertive man and overbearing, and Hrafn’s þingmen were
Lopt’s neighbors, and they were not looking forward to [it]
with pleasure.

<Hugðu> is from <hyggja>; Z5 has <h. til e-s> ‘to look
forward to (with pleasure)’.

Lopt also spoke rather threatening words to Hrafn and his
þingmen [and] said that he did not care whether his abode
pleased them or not.

Then Hrafn gathered troops and travelled to Mýrar with many
people.

> Þá kom þar Þorvaldr Snorrason með sex menn ok bauð Hrafni
> lið sitt ok gekk í flokk Hrafns.

Then Þorvald Snorrason arrived there with six men and
offered Hrafn his assistance and joined Hrafn’s host.

After that folks tried to effect a settlement [‘agreements’]
between them, but Lopt was unwilling to settle [‘to [reach]
a settlement’] with Hrafn.

> Then they, Hrafn [and co] journeyed towards and led away

Then Hrafn and his companions approached and diverted [‘led
away’] the brook that flowed into the buildings at Mýrar.

Baetke offers a gloss of <fara til e-s> and <fara til at> +
infinitive that amounts to ‘set to doing something, settle
down to doing something’; that isn’t exactly the
construction here, but it seems possible that <fór til ok
veittu> might instead be something like ‘set to and
diverted’.

And when they had done that, Lopt suspected that they were
intending [‘would intend’] to set fire to the buildings and
burn the farm.

Then Hauk began to try to get an agreement [‘agreements’],
and the end of it was that they agreed that Sighvat
Sturluson should arbitrate between them, Hrafn and Lopt.

After this meeting Lopt & Co. picked a fight with Þorvald
because he had shown himself to be in support of Hrafn.

After this occurrence Hrafn gave Þorvald a good broadaxe,
inlaid with silver and long-shafted, before they parted at
Mýrar, and they then still spoke well to each other.

The next summer at the Althing Víga-Hauk made an assault on
Þorvald and struck between his shoulders, but Þorvald was
not scratched, because he was wearing a mail coat.

Then Hauk struck at Þorvald’s companion, the one who was
called Teit and was the son of Árni <rauðskeggr>
[‘red-beard]’.
