| Original Old Norse: | Auden & Taylor: | Bellows: | Bray: |
| Þat kann ek it níunda ef mik nauðr um stendr at bjarga fari mínu á floti vind ek kyrri vági á ok svæfik allan sæ |
I know a ninth: when need I have To shelter my ship on the flood, The wind it calms, the waves it smoothes And puts the sea to sleep, |
155. A ninth I know, | if need there comes To shelter my ship on the flood; The wind I calm | upon the waves, And the sea I put to sleep. |
153. A ninth I know: when need befalls me to save my vessel afloat, I hush the wind on the stormy wave, and soothe all the sea to rest. |
| Chisholm: | Hollander: | Terry: | Thorpe: |
| I know a ninth. If need arises, to save my ship on the flood, I can still the wind, and calm the waves, put the entire sea to sleep. |
That ninth I know: if need there be to guard a ship in a gale, the wind I can calm, and the waves also, and wholly soothe the sea. |
I know a ninth: if I ever need to save my ship in a storm, it will quiet the wind and calm the waves, soothing the sea. |
156. For the ninth I know, if I stand in need my bark on the water to save, I can the wind on the waves allay, and the sea lull. |
| How many lives could have been saved if we had this knowledge today? | |||
