text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):

Kænastur dró Kolbeins rúnu,
Krists vildi þat leyfa mildi,
grimmlundaðs ór greipum fjanda
guðs játari, sem margir vátta;
Rind almeidd af greypu grandi
glymrastar kom aptur fasta
snǫruð ok kreist, en beinin brostin,
bauga þǫll var dauð með ǫllu.
