translation by William Charles Green:
Though this danger now touches us, before long the same will come to you; for Harold, asI ween, will hasten hither when he has enthralled and oppressed after his will all in North Mæra and Raumsdale.
translation by Hallvard Lie:
Though this trouble have now lighted on our hand, 'twill not be long ere the same trouble shall come upon you; for Harald,I ween, will shortly hither come, soon as he hath all men thralled and enslaved, according to this will, in Northmere and Raumsdale.
