Gamlkan Has 37VII/8 — ganga ‘pass’

Gumar líta þá gæti
— gengr allt við kjǫr drengjum
heilags Krists — í hæstum
himinljóma guðdómi.
Oss skyldi sú aldri
unaðsgnótt fira dróttins
— þars ǫrsløngvi engum
angrsamt — ór hug ganga.

Gumar líta þá gæti himinljóma í hæstum guðdómi; allt gengr drengjum við kjǫr heilags Krists. Sú unaðsgnótt fira dróttins skyldi aldri ganga oss ór hug; þars engum ǫrsløngvi angrsamt.

Men will look then upon the guardian of the light of heaven [SUN > = God (= Christ)] in his highest Godhead; everything will go for men according to the decision of holy Christ. That abundant bliss [lit. bliss of abundance] of the men of the Lord [CHRISTIAN PEOPLE] should never pass out of our minds; no arrow-slinger [MAN] is sorrowful there.
