Hugsan flýtir lysting ljóta,
lysting fæðir samþykt skæða,
samþykt fæðir synd og nauðir,
synd spenr á sig illa venju,
ill venja dregr nauðsyn nóga,
nauðsyn leiðir sál í dauða,
dauði spillir æði öllu
andar lífs með beisku grandi.

Hugsan flýtir ljóta lysting, lysting fæðir skæða samþykt, samþykt fæðir synd og nauðir, synd spenr á sig illa venju, ill venja dregr nóga nauðsyn, nauðsyn leiðir sál í dauða, dauði spillir öllu æði lífs andar með beisku grandi.

Thought hastens ugly desire, desire feeds noxious consent, consent feeds sin and sufferings, sin attracts to itself a bad habit, a bad habit brings with it compulsion aplenty, compulsion leads the soul to death, death destroys the whole nature of the life of the soul with bitter injury.
