Original Old Norse: | Auden & Taylor: | Bellows: | Bray: |
Ins hindra dags gengu hrímþursar Háva ráðs at fregna Háva höllu í at Bölverki þeir spurðu ef hann væri með böndum kominn eða hefði honum Suttungr of sóit |
The following day the Frost Giants came, Walked into Har's hall To ask for Har's advice: Had Bolverk they asked, come back to his friends, Or had he been slain by Suttung? |
The day that followed, | the frost-giants came, Some word of Hor to win, (And into the hall of Hor;) Of Bolverk they asked, | were he back midst the gods, Or had Suttung slain him there? |
107. Came forth, next day, the dread Frost Giants, and entered the High One's Hall: they asked -- was the Baleworker back mid the Powers, or had Suttung slain him below? |
Chisholm: | Hollander: | Terry: | Thorpe: |
The next day rime Thurses strode out to ask rede of Har in Har’s Hall, asking about Bolverk, whether he was among the Gods or had been slain by Suttung. |
the day after, the etins fared into Har's high hall, to ask after Bolverk: whether the Æsir among, Or whether by Suttung slain. |
The next day the frost-giants found the High One in his hall; they asked if Odin were with the Æsir or if Suttung had slain him. |
110. On the day following came the Hrim-thursar, to learn something of the High One, in the High One’s hall: after Bölverk they inquired, whether he with the gods were come, or Suttung had destroyed him? |
