Arn Frag 1III/2 — it
Míkáll vegr, þats misgǫrt þykkir,
mannvitsfróðr, ok allt it góða;
tyggi skiptir síðan seggjum
sólar hjalms á dœmistóli.
Mannvitsfróðr Míkáll vegr, þats þykkir misgǫrt ok allt it góða; tyggi hjalms sólar skiptir síðan seggjum á dœmistóli.
Michael, wise with discernment, weighs what seems wrongly done, and all that is good; the sovereign of the helmet of the sun [SKY/HEAVEN > = God] then separates out men at his judgement-seat.
notes
[2] allt it góða ‘all that is good’: Lit. ‘all the good’.
grammar
Pronouns and determiners: Definite article
The definite article is normally suffixed to nouns, except in some cases where it is used with an adjective. If the noun form ends in a vowel, the 'i' in the article is dropped. If the noun form ends in 'um', the 'm' and 'i' are both dropped. E.g. hesta (acc. pl.) > hestana (acc. pl. definite); hestum (dat. pl.) > hestunum (dat. pl. definite)
