BjRagn Lv 1VIII (Ragn 7)/7 — sitt ‘their’

Upp hrundu vér ópi
(ór bitu meir en þeira)
— satt mun ek til þess segja —
(sverð) í Gnipafirði.
Knátti hverr, er vildi,
fyr Hvítabæ útan
— né sitt spari sveinar
sverð — manns bani verða!

Hrundu vér upp ópi í Gnipafirði; sverð ór bitu meir en þeira; ek mun segja satt til þess. Hverr, er vildi, knátti verða bani manns fyr útan Hvítabæ; né spari sveinar sverð sitt!

We raised a war-cry in Gnipafjǫrðr; our swords had more bite than theirs; I will tell the truth of the matter. Everyone who was willing could slay a man outside Hvítabœr; may the lads not spare their sword!
