Gangat ek einn út;
fjórir mér fylgja fimm goðs englar.
Berk bœn fyr mér, bœn fyr Kristi;
syng ek salma sjau; séi goð hluta minn.
Ek gangat út einn; fjórir, fimm englar goðs fylgja mér. Berk bœn fyr mér, bœn fyr Kristi; ek syng sjau salma; goð séi hluta minn.
I do not go out alone; four, five angels of God accompany me. I speak a prayer for myself, a prayer before Christ; I sing seven psalms; may God watch over my lot.
[5, 6] fyr ‘for’; fyr ‘before’: The sense of fyr seems to shift between these lines, unless Þrándr’s religious eccentricity led him so far as to pray for Christ.
