Friðsamr hilmir flýtileygs ins hæsta hríðtjalds, reist síðan ór grǫf á frægjum þriðja degi, ok, aldyggr ræsir regnhallar, vannt fegna rá*ðvísa fira, þás yðvarr dauði hryggði áðr.

Peaceful prince of the swift fire of the highest storm-tent [SKY/HEAVEN > SUN > = God (= Christ)], you rose then from the grave on the famous third day, and, altogether honourable king of the rain-hall [SKY/HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)], you made glad the counsel-wise people whom your death had saddened previously.
