Anon Vitn 18VII/6 — hjálp ‘help’

‘Veit eg, að mjög er í móti,
minn guð, skipan þinni
með sambandi synda
sett jáyrði þetta.
Verð eg bert fyrir borði,
blessuð hjálp, í þessu,
enn sem ykkr er kunnigt
áðr mæðginum báðum.

‘Eg veit, guð minn, að þetta jáyrði, sett með sambandi synda, er mjög í móti skipan þinni. Eg verð bert fyrir borði í þessu, blessuð hjálp; enn sem áðr er kunnigt ykkr báðum mæðginum.

‘I know, my God, that this consent, given with the union of sins, is much against your decree. I am clearly wronged in this, blessed help; now as before it is known to you both, mother and son.
