Kóngrinn rieð með sætleik syngja,
svikarinn ..... …
síðan ... lagði hann sjóla prúðum
sverði í brjóst … herðar.
Knútur má nú kristni veita
kallaz hann … Danmörk …
… og hjálpin feska;.....
herrans dýrð mun aldri þverra.

Kóngrinn rieð syngja með sætleik, svikarinn … síðan lagði hann sverði í brjóst prúðum sjóla … herðar. Knútur má nú veita kristni … hann kallaz Danmörk … og feska hjálpin; dýrð herrans mun aldri þverra.

The king sang sweetly, the traitor … later he he thrust the sword through the chest of the magnificent king … shoulders. Knútr can now grant Christianity … he is called Denmark … and good help; the glory of the Lord will never end.
