Steinn Óldr 9II/6 — branda ‘blades’

Veitk, hvar Óláfr úti
óslækinn rauð mæki
— deilask mér til mála
minni — fyrsta sinni.
Hlaut til hafs fyr útan
Halland konungr branda
— fǫgr sverð ruðu fyrðar —
fjǫlgóðr litat blóði.

Veitk, hvar óslækinn Óláfr rauð mæki úti fyrsta sinni; minni deilask mér til mála. Fjǫlgóðr konungr hlaut branda litat blóði til hafs fyr útan Halland; fyrðar ruðu fǫgr sverð.

I know, where tireless Óláfr reddened the sword at sea for the first time; the memories give me material for tales. The very good king had blades coloured in blood on the ocean off Halland; men reddened fair swords.
