GunnLeif Merl I 96VIII/3 — bjartar ‘bright’

Lesi sálma, spjǫll         lesi spámanna,
lesi bjartar þeir         bœkr ok roðla,
ok finni þat,         at inn fróði halr
hefr horskliga         hagat spásǫgu,
sem fyr hônum         fyrðar helgir.

Lesi sálma, lesi spjǫll spámanna, lesi þeir bjartar bœkr ok roðla, ok finni þat, at inn fróði halr hefr hagat spásǫgu horskliga, sem helgir fyrðar fyr hônum.

Let them read the psalms, read the sayings of the prophets, let them read bright books and rolls, and discover that the wise man has devised his prophecy sagaciously, like holy men before him.
