Ekúl Frag 1III/5 — Svá ‘Thus’

Bôru mæta móti
malmþings viðir palma
(sveit hrauð) seggja bœti
(sorg), es kom til borgar.
Svá laðar siklingr skýja
síns hjarta til bjarta,
þás fyrða gram fœra
fǫgr verk með trú sterkri.

Viðir malmþings bôru mæta palma móti bœti seggja, es kom til borgar; sveit hrauð sorg. Svá laðar siklingr skýja bjarta til hjarta síns, þás fœra gram fyrða fǫgr verk með sterkri trú.

Trees of the weapon-meeting [BATTLE > WARRIORS] carried glorious palms to meet the curer of men [= Christ], when he came to the city; the company banished sorrow. Thus the prince of the clouds [= God (= Christ)] invites pure [men] to his heart, those who bring the ruler of men [= God (= Christ)] beautiful deeds with strong faith.
