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.
[1, 2] hverfa til blóta ‘turn to the sacrifices’: The gods who had been denied their sacrifices return and begin accepting them again; see Finnur Jónsson (1891a, 166-7). They are now charitably inclined toward the people (herþarfir).
