Stanza 165

Original Old Norse:	Auden & Taylor:	Bellows:	Bray:
Nú era Háva mál kveðin Háva höllu í allþörf ýta sonum óþörf jötna sonum heill sá er kvað heill sá er kann njóti sá er nam heilir þeirs hlýddu	The Wise One has spoken words in the hall, Needful for men to know, Unneedful for trolls to know: Hail to the speaker, Hail to the knower, Joy to him who has understood, Delight to those who have listened.	----	164. Now the sayings of the High One are uttered in the hall for the weal of men, for the woe of Jötuns, Hail, thou who hast spoken! Hail, thou that knowest! Hail, ye that have hearkened! Use, thou who hast learned!
Chisholm:	Hollander:	Terry:	Thorpe:
164. Now are Har’s sayings said, in Har’s hall needful for the sons of men unneeded by ettins’ sons. Hail the one who speaks them, hail the one who knows them useful to he who gets them hail they who heed them.	Now are Har's sayings spoken in Har's hall, of help to the sons of men, of harm to the sons of etins; hail to whoever spoke them, hail to whoever knows them! Gain they who grasp them, happy they who heed them!	The sayings of the High One heard in his hall are helpful to sons of men, harmful to giants. Hail to the speaker, hail the one he taught! They're lucky who have the lore, happy if they heed it!	166. Now are sung the High-one’s songs, in the High-one’s hall, to the sons of men all-useful, but useless to the Jötun’s sons. Hail to him who has sung them! Hail to him who knows them! May he profit who has learnt them! Hail to hose who have listened to them!
This is our final verse of the Havamal. I hope you have enjoyed reading through them with me each day, and have gleaned a little bit of information for yourself on your journey.
