Herv Lv 12VIII (Heiðr 31)/3 — heilan ‘unharmed’

Segir þú eigi satt,         — svá láti áss þik
heilan í haugi —         sem þú hafir eigi
Tyrfing með þér.         Trautt er þér at veita
arfa þínum         einar bænir.

Þú segir eigi satt, sem hafir þú eigi Tyrfing með þér; svá láti áss þik heilan í haugi. Trautt er þér at veita arfa þínum einar bænir.

You do not speak truly, [you speak] as though you do not have Tyrfingr with you; so may the god leave you unharmed in the mound. You are reluctant to grant one boon to your heir.
