text and translation
Siklingr lét þar sveita
— sveit fylkis rauð hneiti —
bǫðvar skýrstr í bráði
bráðmôl lituð stála.
Vann blóðroðin benja
benflœðr skolat rœði;
sóknbôru* gat sára
sárvǫrðr þvegit árar.
Þar lét siklingr, skýrstr bǫðvar, bráðmôl stála lituð sveita í bráði; sveit fylkis rauð hneiti. {Benflœðr} vann skolat {blóðroðin rœði benja}; {sárvǫrðr} gat þvegit {árar sára} {sóknbôru*}.
‘There the lord, wisest in war, let welded patterns of swords be coloured with gore in haste; the company of the leader reddened the sword. The wound-flood [BLOOD] rinsed the blood-reddened paddle of wounds [SWORD]; the wound-guardian [WARRIOR] washed oars of wounds [SWORDS] with the battle-wave [BLOOD]. ’
