bitr fár guma ári,
blakks skreytendum brautar
borðs frá dróttins orðum.
‘Hljóta víst’, kvað veitir
vegfróðr hluta góðra,
‘menn þeirs minn dag vinna,
mest angr af því flestir.’ | Bréf sagði {skreytendum {blakks {brautar borðs}}} frá orðum dróttins, hvat bitr fár brygði ári guma. {Vegfróðr veitir góðra hluta} kvað: ‘Flestir menn, þeirs vinna dag minn, hljóta víst mest angr af því’. The letter told {the furnishers {of the horse {of the path of the plank}}} [SEA > SHIP > SEAFARER] about the Lord’s words, what bitter harm could alter the good fortune of men. {The way-wise giver of good things} [= God] said: ‘Most men who work on my day will certainly gain the greatest sorrow from it’.
