Sturl Magndr 2II/6 — konungr ‘king’
Heilags hafið hála,
hraustr þengils sonr, fengit,
— þik reifir guð gæfu
gnótt — þjóðkonungs dóttur.
Snjallr má Eiríkr öllu
(aldýrr konungr,) stýra
(yðarr þroski gengr óskum
einart) við guð hreinan.
Hraustr sonr þengils, hafið hála fengit dóttur heilags þjóðkonungs; guð reifir þik gnótt gæfu. Snjallr Eiríkr má stýra öllu við hreinan guð; aldýrr konungr, þroski yðarr gengr einart óskum.
Brave son of the ruler, you have indeed received the daughter of the holy, mighty king; God grants you abundant luck. Wise Eiríkr can rule everything with the pure God; very precious king, your prosperity will proceed forever according to your wishes.
notes
[6] aldýrr konungr ‘very precious king’: Taken in Skj B and Skald as an apposition to snjallr Eiríkr ‘wise Eiríkr’ (l. 5). This seems less preferable because all the other helmingar contain an apostrophe to Magnús.
