text and translation

Vér kaupskipi         kómum heilu
at, þar er Bjarmar         byggðir áttu.
Eyddum eldi         ættir þeira;
unnum löskvan         láðmann tekinn.

Vér kómum kaupskipi heilu at, þar er Bjarmar áttu byggðir. Eyddum ættir þeira eldi; unnum löskvan láðmann tekinn.
 
‘We brought our trading ship unharmed to where the Permians had their settlements. We destroyed their families with fire; we managed to capture a lazy guide.
