Sál hans bað inn sanni guð
í sinn fögnuð fara;
en sökudólgar hygg ek síðla myni
kallaðir frá kvölum.
Inn sanni guð bað sál hans fara í fögnuð sinn; en ek hygg sökudólgar myni síðla kallaðir frá kvölum.
The true God commanded his soul to journey into his joy; but I think that his enemies will be summoned late from torments.
