Anon Lil 36VII/4 —  ‘to’

Á þrettánda dag til drottins
dýrðarmenn, er ríkjum stýrðu
austr í heim, með offri kómu
ungan mann prísa á þannveg.
Umrennandi sex að sinnum
sex daga grein og fjórum einum
offraz kaus fyrir oss að vísu
Jésús sjálfr í musteris hválfi.

Á þrettánda dag kómu dýrðarmenn, er stýrðu ríkjum austr í heim, til drottins með offri prísa ungan mann á þannveg. Að umrennandi grein sex sinnum sex daga og fjórum einum, kaus Jésús sjálfr að vísu offraz fyrir oss í musteris hválfi.

On the thirteenth day came glorious men, who ruled kingdoms in the eastern part of the world, to the Lord with offering, to honour the young man in that way. When a period of six times six days plus just four more had run its course, Jesus himself indeed chose to be offered for us in the vault of the temple.
