rekka geðfasta
— þrǫng at rym randa —
til ræsis landa.
Við nam víðr mǫrgum

Nóregr skipstǫfnum. | {Raukn rasta} bôru geðfasta rekka til landa ræsis; þrǫng at {rym randa}. Víðr Nóregr nam við mǫrgum skipstǫfnum; vôpn eru grimm tǫrgum; nýtt nest gafsk hrǫfnum. {The draught animals of currents} [SHIPS] carried the mind-firm warriors to the lands of the ruler [Hákon]; {the clatter of shields} [BATTLE] closed in. Far-reaching Norway halted many ship-prows; weapons are harsh towards targes; fresh provisions were given to ravens.
