FriðÞ Lv 27VIII (Frið 33)/8 — veit ‘know’

Sigldum vér ór Sogni;
svá fórum vér næstum;
þá lék eldr it efra
í óðali váru.
En nú tekr bál at brenna
í Baldrshaga miðjan;
því mun ek vargr at vísu;
veit ek, því mun heitit.

Vér sigldum ór Sogni; svá fórum vér næstum; þá lék eldr it efra í óðali váru. En nú tekr bál at brenna í miðjan Baldrshaga; því mun ek vargr at vísu; ek veit, mun heitit því.

We sailed out of Sogn; we travelled that way last time; then fire played high above our family homestead. But now the conflagration begins to burn in the middle of Baldrshagi; for that reason I will certainly [be] an outlaw; I know it will be promised.
