Hl*ǫðr réð hann at kveðja

Hl*ǫðr réð at kveðja hann hauðrs rauðum benloga, þvít margkostigr mildingr of vann mesta hildi, ef hann vildi, en ek veit, at hann vildi. Lundr linns polls sára vas trauðr at sinna af lǫndum ok golli fyr þeim – svipr sverða varð at þat –, ef þat olli, sem ek veit, at þat olli.
Hlǫðr went to claim the land from him [Angatýr] with the red wound-flame [SWORD], because the very splendid generous one waged the greatest war if he wanted, and I know that he wanted. The tree of the serpent of the pool of wounds [BLOOD > SWORD > WARRIOR = Angantýr] was reluctant to leave his lands and gold because of that one [Hlǫðr] – there was a motion of swords [BATTLE] because of that –, if that was the reason, as I know that was the reason.
