Refr Þorst 2III/3 — ógn ‘of the terror’

Alls bǫðgœðis bjóða
— bǫrr ræðr til þess hjǫrva —
ógnstǫðvar hefk ægi
einráðit Þórsteini.

Alls hefk einráðit bjóða Þórsteini ægi ógnstǫðvar bǫðgœðis; bǫrr hjǫrva ræðr til þess.

Since I have decided to offer Þorsteinn the ocean of the terror-place [BREAST] of the battle-promoter [= Óðinn > POEM]; the tree of swords [WARRIOR] [I] begins to work on this.
