Anon Mdr 13VII/8 — djöflar ‘devils’

Hrein fyld Máría mildi
mjúk, andvarpa …
til þín, lýðs, á láði
lífsvegr, gumnar fegnir.
Döggva, drottning seggja
dáðvís, paradísar
…eps að geyma
gamals, þó að djöflar hamli.

Hrein, mjúk Máría, fyld mildi, fegnir gumnar á láði andvarpa til þín, lífsvegr lýðs. Dáðvís drottning seggja, döggva … paradísar að geyma gamals …, þó að djöflar hamli.

Pure, gentle Mary, filled with grace, joyful men on earth weep for you, life-path of people. Deed-wise queen of men [= Mary], bedew … of Paradise to heed old …, though devils may wound.
