Eskál Vell 15I/4 — slíka

Ok herþarfir hverfa
(Hlakkar móts) til blóta
(rauðbríkar fremsk rœkir
ríkr) ásmegir (slíku).
Nú grœr jǫrð sem áðan;
aptr geirbrúar hapta
auðrýrir lætr ôru
óhryggva vé byggva.

Ok herþarfir ásmegir hverfa til blóta; ríkr rœkir rauðbríkar móts Hlakkar fremsk slíku. Nú grœr jǫrð sem áðan; auðrýrir lætr ôru geirbrúar byggva vé hapta aptr óhryggva.

And the sons of the Æsir, beneficial to the people, turn to the sacrifices; the powerful keeper of the red board of the meeting of Hlǫkk <valkyrie> [BATTLE > SHIELD > WARRIOR = Hákon jarl] prospers from this. Now the earth flourishes as before; the wealth-diminisher [GENEROUS MAN] lets the messengers of the spear-bridge [SHIELD > WARRIORS] once again inhabit the sanctuaries of the gods without sorrow.
