text and translation

Þá varð fastr við fóstra
farmr Sigvinjar arma,
sás ǫll regin eygja,
ǫndurgoðs, í bǫndum.
Loddi rô við ramman
reimuð Jǫtunheima,
en holls vinar Hœnis
hendr við stangar enda.

Þá varð {{farmr arma} Sigvinjar}, sás ǫll regin eygja í bǫndum, fastr við {fóstra {ǫndurgoðs}}. Rô loddi við {ramman reimuð Jǫtunheima}, en hendr {holls vinar Hœnis} við enda stangar.
 
‘Then the cargo of the arms [LOVER] of Sigyn <goddess> [= Loki], the one whom all the divine powers eye in bonds, was [stuck] fast to the fosterer of the ski-deity [= Skaði > = Þjazi]. The staff stuck to the mighty haunter of Jǫtunheimar [= Þjazi], and the hands of the loyal friend of Hœnir [= Loki] [stuck] to the end of the pole.

notes and context

As for st. 1.

According to Skm (SnE 1998, I, 1), after Loki had hurled the pole at the eagle, the latter managed to jerk away and fly up, with one end stuck fast in his body and the other end to Loki’s hands.
