text and translation

Flýðu þeir á Þjóðu
þengils fund af stundu;
stórt réð hugprútt hjarta.
Haralds ǫnd ofarr lǫndum.

Þeir á Þjóðu flýðu fund þengils af stundu; hugprútt hjarta réð stórt. …Haralds ǫnd ofarr lǫndum….
 
‘Those at Thy fled the encounter with the prince at once; the proud heart prevailed completely. …Haraldr’s spirit above the lands….
