《海恩德拉之歌》的原典

"Vaki mær meyja,
vaki mín vina,
Hyndla systir,
er í helli býr;
nú er rökkr rökkra,
ríða vit skulum
til Valhallar
ok til vés heilags.

Biðjum Herjaföðr
í hugum sitja,
hann geldr ok gefr
gull verðungu;
gaf hann Hermóði
hjalm ok brynju,
en Sigmundi
sverð at þiggja.

Gefr hann sigr sumum,
en sumum aura,
mælsku mörgum
ok mannvit firum;
byri gefr hann brögnum,
en brag skaldum,
gefr hann mannsemi
mörgum rekki.

Þórr mun hon blóta,
þess mun hon biðja,
at hann æ við þik
einart láti;
þó er hánum ótítt
við jötuns brúðir.

Nú taktu ulf þinn
einn af stalli,
lát hann renna
með runa mínum."
Hyndla kvað:
"Seinn er göltr þinn
goðveg troða,
vilk-at ek mar minn
mætan hlæða.

Flá ertu, Freyja,
er þú freistar mín,
vísar þú augum
á oss þannig,
er þú hefir ver þinn
í valsinni
Óttar unga
Innsteins bur."
Freyja kvað:

"Dulin ertu, Hyndla,
draums ætlak þér,
er þú kveðr ver minn
í valsinni,
þar er göltr glóar
Gullinbursti,
Hildisvíni,
er mér hagir gerðu,
dvergar tveir,
Dáinn ok Nabbi.

Senn vit ór söðlum
sitja vit skulum
ok um jöfra
ættir dæma,
gumna þeira,
er frá goðum kvámu.

Þeir hafa veðjat
Vala malmi
Óttarr ungi
ok Angantýr;
skylt er at veita,
svá at skati inn ungi
föðurleifð hafi
eftir frændr sína.

Hörg hann mér gerði
hlaðinn steinum,
- nú er grjót þat
at gleri orðit; -
rauð hann í nýju
nauta blóði;
æ trúði Óttarr
á ásynjur.

Nú láttu forna
niðja talða
ok upp bornar
ættir manna:
Hvat ek Skjöldunga,
hvat ek Skilfinga,
hvat er Öðlinga,
hvat er Ylfinga,
hvat er höldborit,
hvat er hersborit
mest manna val
und Miðgarði?"
Hyndla kvað:

"Þú ert, Óttarr,
borinn Innsteini,
en Innsteinn var
Alfi inum gamla,
Alfr var Ulfi,
Ulfr Sæfara,
en Sæfari
Svan inum rauða.

Móður átti faðir þinn
menjum göfga,
hygg ek, at hon héti
Hlédís gyðja;
Fróði var faðir þeirar,
en Fríund móðir;
öll þótti ætt sú
með yfirmönnum.

Auði var áðr
öflgastr manna,
Halfdan fyrri
hæstr Skjöldunga;
fræg váru folkvíg,
þau er framir gerðu,
hvarfla þóttu hans verk
með himins skautum.

Eflðisk hann við Eymund
æðstan manna,
en hann vá Sigtrygg
með svölum eggjum,
eiga gekk Almveig,
æðsta kvinna,
ólu þau ok áttu
átján sonu.

Þaðan eru Skjöldungar,
þaðan Skilfingar,
þaðan Öðlingar,
þaðan Ynglingar,
þaðan höldborit,
þaðan hersborit,
mest manna val
und Miðgarði;
allt er þat ætt þín,
Óttarr heimski.

Var Hildigunnr
hennar móðir,
Sváfu barn
ok sækonungs;
allt er þat ætt þín,
Óttarr heimski.
Varðar, at viti svá.
Viltu enn lengra?

Dagr átti Þóru
drengja móður,
ólusk í ætt þar
æðstir kappar:
Fraðmarr ok Gyrðr
ok Frekar báðir,
Ámr ok Jösurmarr,
Alfr inn gamli.
Varðar, at viti svá.
Viltu enn lengra?

Ketill hét vinr þeira,
Klypps arfþegi,
var hann móðurfaðir
móður þinnar;
þar var Fróði
fyrr en Kári,
inn eldri var
Alfr of getinn.

Nanna var næst þar
Nökkva dóttir,
var mögr hennar
mágr þíns föður;
fyrnð er sú mægð,
fram tel ek lengra;
kunna ek báða
Brodd ok Hörvi;
allt er þat ætt þín,
Óttarr heimski.

Ísolfr ok Ásolfr
Ölmóðs synir
ok Skúrhildar
Skekkils dóttur;
skaltu til telja
skatna margra;
allt er þat ætt þín,
Óttarr heimski.

Gunnarr balkr,
Grímr arðskafi,
járnskjöldr Þórir,
Ulfr gínandi.
23. [Hervarðr, Hjörvarðr,
Hrani, Angantýr],
Búi ok Brámi,
Barri ok Reifnir,
Tindr ok Tyrfingr,
ok tveir Haddingjar;
allt er þat ætt þín,
Óttarr heimski.
24. Austr í Bolm
váru bornir
Arngríms synir
ok Eyfuru,
brökun var berserkja,
böl margs konar,
um lönd ok um lög
sem logi færi;
allt er þat ætt þín,
Óttarr heimski.

Kunnak báða
Brodd ok Hörvi;
váru þeir í hirð
Hrolfs ins gamla.
Allir bornir
frá Jörmunreki,
Sigurðar mági,
- hlýð þú sögu minni, -
folkum grimms,
þess er Fáfni vá.

Sá var vísir
frá Völsungi
ok Hjördís
frá Hrauðungi,
en Fylimi
frá Öðlingum;
allt er þat ætt þín,
Óttarr heimski.

Gunnarr ok Högni,
Gjúka arfar,
ok it sama Guðrún,
systir þeira;
eigi var Gutþormr
Gjúka ættar,
þó var hann bróðir
beggja þeira;
allt er þat ætt þín,
Óttarr heimski.

Haraldr hilditönn
borinn Hræreki
slöngvanbauga,
sonr var hann Auðar,
Auðr djúpúðga
Ívars dóttir,
en Ráðbarðr var
Randvers faðir;
þeir váru gumnar
goðum signaðir;
allt er þat ætt þín,
Óttarr heimski."

Freyja kvað:

"Ber þú minnisöl
mínum gesti,
svá hann öll muni
orð at tína
þessar ræðu
á þriðja morgni,
þá er þeir Angantýr
ættir rekja."
Hyndla kvað:

"Snúðu braut heðan,
sofa lystir mik,
fær þú fátt af mér
fríðra kosta;
hleypr þú, Óðs vina,
úti á náttum,
sem með höfrum
Heiðrún fari.

Rannt at Óði
ey þreyjandi,
skutusk þér fleiri
und fyrirskyrtu;
hleypr þú, Óðs vina,
úti á náttum,
sem með höfrum
Heiðrún fari."
Freyja kvað:

"Ek slæ eldi
of íviðju,
svá at þú eigi kemsk
á braut heðan."
Hyndla kvað:

Hyr sé ek brenna,
en hauðr loga,
verða flestir
fjörlausn þola;
ber þú Óttari
bjór at hendi
eitri blandinn mjök,
illu heilli."
Freyja kvað:

"Orðheill þín
skal engu ráða,
þóttú, brúðr jötuns,
bölvi heitir;
hann skal drekka
dýrar veigar;
bið ek Óttari
öll goð duga."

Váru ellifu
æsir talðir,
Baldr er hné,
við banaþúfu;
þess lézk Váli
verðr at hefna,
síns of bróður
sló hann handbana.

Var Baldrs faðir
Burs arfþegi,
Freyr átti Gerði,
hon var Gymis dóttir,
jötna ættar,
ok Aurboðu;
þó var Þjazi,
þeira frændi,
skrautgjarn jötunn,
hans var Skaði dóttir.

Margt segjum þér
ok munum fleira;
vörumk, at viti svá.
Viltu enn lengra?

Haki var Hveðnu
hóti beztr sona,
en Hveðnu var
Hjörvarðr faðir;
Heiðr ok Hrossþjófr
Hrímnis kindar.

Eru völur allar
frá Viðolfi,
vitkar allir
frá Vilmeiði,
seiðberendr
frá Svarthöfða,
jötnar allir
frá Ymi komnir.

Margt segjum þér
ok munum fleira;
vörumk, at viti svá.
Viltu enn lengra?

Varð einn borin
í árdaga
rammaukinn mjök
rögna kindar;
níu báru þann
naddgöfgan mann
jötna meyjar
við jarðar þröm.

Hann Gjalp of bar,
hann Greip of bar,
bar hann Eistla
ok Eyrgjafa,
hann bar Ulfrún
ok Angeyja,
Imdr ok Atla
ok Járnsaxa.

Sá var aukinn
jarðar megni,
svalköldum sæ
ok sónardreyra.

Margt segjum þér
ok munum fleira;
vörumk, at viti svá.
Viltu enn lengra?

Ól ulf Loki
við Angrboðu,
en Sleipni gat
við Svaðilfara;
eitt þótti skass
allra feiknast,
þat var bróður frá
Býleists komit.

Loki át hjarta
lindi brenndu,
fann hann halfsviðinn
hugstein konu;
varð Loftr kviðugr
af konu illri;
þaðan er á foldu
flagð hvert komit.

Haf gengr hríðum
við himin sjalfan,
líðr lönd yfir,
en loft bilar;
þaðan koma snjóvar
ok snarir vindar;
þá er í ráði,
at rögn of þrjóti.

Varð einn borinn
öllum meiri,
sá var aukinn
jarðar megni;
þann kveða stilli
stórúðgastan
sif sifjaðan
sjötum görvöllum.

Þá kemr annarr
enn máttkari,
þó þori ek eigi
þann at nefna;
fáir séa nú
fram of lengra
en Óðinn mun
ulfi mæta.

Freyja spake: 1.
"Maiden, awake! wake thee, my friend,
My sister Hyndla, in thy hollow cave!
Already comes darkness, and ride must we
To Valhall to seek the sacred hall.

"The favor of Heerfather seek we to find,
To his followers gold he gladly gives;
To Hermoth gave he helm and mail-coat,
And to Sigmund he gave a sword as gift.

"Triumph to some, and treasure to others,
To many wisdom and skill in words,
Fair winds to the sailor, to the singer his art,
And a manly heart to many a hero.

"Thor shall I honor, and this shall I ask,
That his favor true mayst thou ever find;
..............................
Though little the brides of the giants he loves.

"From the stall now one of thy wolves lead forth,
And along with my boar shalt thou let him run;
For slow my boar goes on the road of the gods,
And I would not weary my worthy steed."

Hyndla spake: 6.
"Falsely thou askest me, Freyja, to go,
For so in the glance of thine eyes I see; On the way of the slain thy lover goes with thee,
Ottar the young, the son of Instein."

Freyja spake: 7.
"Wild dreams, methinks, are thine when thou sayest
My lover is with me on the way of the slain;
There shines the boar with bristles of gold,
Hildisvini, he who was made
By Dain and Nabbi, the cunning dwarfs.

"Now let us down from our saddles leap,
And talk of the race of the heroes twain;
The men who were born of the gods above,
..............................

"A wager have made in the foreign metal
Ottar the young and Angantyr; We must guard, for the hero young to have,
His father's wealth, the fruits of his race.

"For me a shrine of stones he made,—
And now to glass the rock has grown;—
Oft with the blood of beasts was it red;
In the goddesses ever did Ottar trust.

"Tell to me now the ancient names,
And the races of all that were born of old:
Who are of the Skjoldungs, who of the Skilfings,
Who of the Othlings, who of the Ylfings,
Who are the free-born, who are the high-born,
The noblest of men that in Mithgarth dwell?"

Hyndla spake: 12.
"Thou art, Ottar, the son of Instein,
And Instein the son of Alf the Old,
Alf of Ulf, Ulf of Sæfari,
And Sæfari's father was Svan the Red.

"Thy mother, bright with bracelets fair,
Hight, methinks, the priestess Hledis;
Frothi her father, and Friaut her mother;—
Her race of the mightiest men must seem.

"Of old the noblest of all was Ali,
Before him Halfdan, foremost of Skjoldungs;
Famed were the battles the hero fought,
To the corners of heaven his deeds were carried.

"Strengthened by Eymund, the strongest of men,
Sigtrygg he slew with the ice-cold sword;
His bride was Almveig, the best of women,
And eighteen boys did Almveig bear him.

"Hence come the Skjoldungs, hence the Skilfings,
Hence the Othlings, hence the Ynglings,
Hence come the free-born, hence the high-born,
The noblest of men that in Mithgarth dwell:
And all are thy kinsmen, Ottar, thou fool!

"Hildigun then her mother hight,
The daughter of Svava and Sækonung;
And all are thy kinsmen, Ottar, thou fool!
It is much to know,— wilt thou hear yet more?

"The mate of Dag was a mother of heroes,
Thora, who bore him the bravest of fighters,
Frathmar and Gyrth and the Frekis twain,
Am and Jofurmar, Alf the Old;
It is much to know,— wilt thou hear yet more?

"Her husband was Ketil, the heir of Klypp,
He was of thy mother the mother's-father; Before the days of Kari was Frothi,
And born of Hild was Hoalf then.

"Next was Nanna, daughter of Nokkvi,
Thy father's kinsman her son became;
Old is the line, and longer still,
And all are thy kinsmen, Ottar, thou fool!

"Isolf and Osolf, the sons of Olmoth,
Whose wife was Skurhild, the daughter of Skekkil,
Count them among the heroes mighty,
And all are thy kinsmen, Ottar, thou fool!

"Gunnar the Bulwark, Grim the Hardy,
Thorir the Iron-shield, Ulf the Gaper,
Brodd and Hörvir both did I know;
In the household they were of Hrolf the Old.

"Hervarth, Hjorvarth, Hrani, Angantyr,
Bui and Brami, Barri and Reifnir,
Tind and Tyrfing, the Haddings twain,—
And all are thy kinsmen, Ottar, thou fool!

"Eastward in Bolm were born of old
The sons of Arngrim and Eyfura;
With berserk-tumult and baleful deed
Like fire o'er land and sea they fared,—
And all are thy kinsmen, Ottar, thou fool!

"The sons of Jormunrek all of yore
To the gods in death were as offerings given; He was kinsman of Sigurth,— hear well what I say,—
The foe of hosts, and Fafnir's slayer.

"From Volsung's seed was the hero sprung,
And Hjordis was born of Hrauthung's race,
And Eylimi from the Othlings came,—
And all are thy kinsmen, Ottar, thou fool!

"Gunnar and Hogni, the heirs of Gjuki,
And Guthrun as well, who their sister was;
But Gotthorm was not of Gjuki's race,
Although the brother of both he was:
And all are thy kinsmen, Ottar, thou fool!

"Of Hvethna's sons was Haki the best,
And Hjorvarth the father of Hvethna was;
..............................

"Harald Battle-tooth of Auth was born,
Hrörek the Ring-giver her husband was;
Auth the Deep-minded was Ivar's daughter,
But Rathbarth the father of Randver was:
And all are thy kinsmen, Ottar, thou fool!"

***

Eleven in number the gods were known,
When Baldr o'er the hill of death was bowed;
And this to avenge was Vali swift,
When his brother's slayer soon he slew.

The father of Baldr was the heir of Bur,
..............................

Freyr's wife was Gerth, the daughter of Gymir,
Of the giants' brood, and Aurbotha bore her;
To these as well was Thjazi kin,
The dark-loving giant; his daughter was Skathi.

Much have I told thee, and further will tell;
There is much that I know;— wilt thou hear yet more?

Heith and Hrossthjof, the children of Hrimnir.
..............................

The sybils arose from Vitholf's race,
From Vilmeith all the seers are,
And the workers of charms are Svarthofthi's children,
And from Ymir sprang the giants all.

Much have I told thee, and further will tell;
There is much that I know;— wilt thou hear yet more?

One there was born in the bygone days,
Of the race of the gods, and great was his might;
Nine giant women, at the world's edge,
Once bore the man so mighty in arms.

Gjolp there bore him, Greip there bore him,
Eistla bore him, and Eyrgjafa,
Ulfrun bore him, and Angeyja,
Imth and Atla, and Jarnsaxa.

Strong was he made with the strength of earth,
With the ice-cold sea, and the blood of swine.

One there was born, the best of all,
And strong was he made with the strength of earth;
The proudest is called the kinsman of men
Of the rulers all throughout the world.

Much have I told thee, and further will tell;
There is much that I know;— wilt thou hear yet more?

The wolf did Loki with Angrbotha win,
And Sleipnir bore he to Svathilfari;
The worst of marvels seemed the one
That sprang from the brother of Byleist then.

A heart ate Loki,— in the embers it lay,
And half-cooked found he the woman's heart;—
With child from the woman Lopt soon was,
And thence among men came the monsters all.

The sea, storm-driven, seeks heaven itself,
O'er the earth it flows, the air grows sterile;
Then follow the snows and the furious winds,
For the gods are doomed, and the end is death.

Then comes another, a greater than all.
Though never I dare his name to speak;
Few are they now that farther can see
Than the moment when Othin shall meet the wolf.

***

Freyja spake: 46.
"To my boar now bring the memory-beer,
So that all thy words, that well thou hast spoken, The third morn hence he may hold in mind,
When their races Ottar and Angantyr tell."

Hyndla spake: 47.
"Hence shalt thou fare, for fain would I sleep,
From me thou gettest few favors good;
My noble one, out in the night thou leapest
As Heithrun goes the goats among.

"To Oth didst thou run, who loved thee ever,
And many under thy apron have crawled;
My noble one, out in the night thou leapest,
As Heithrun goes the goats among."

Freyja spake: 49.
"Around the giantess flames shall I raise,
So that forth unburned thou mayst not fare."

Hyndla spake: 50.
"Flames I see burning, the earth is on fire,
And each for his life the price must lose;
Bring then to Ottar the draught of beer,
Of venom full for an evil fate."

Freyja spake: 51.
"Thine evil words shall work no ill,
Though, giantess, bitter thy baleful threats;
A drink full fair shall Ottar find,
If of all the gods the favor I get."

“醒来吧，少女中的少女，
醒来吧，我的朋友，
海恩德拉姐妹，
你住在洞穴之中；
如今暮色已深，
我们两人该骑行，
前往英灵殿，
前往神圣的庙堂。

让我们祈求军旅之父，
愿他心怀善意，
他酬赏并赐予
随从们黄金；
他曾赐给赫尔莫德
头盔和锁甲，
又让西格蒙德
领受一柄宝剑。

他赐一些人胜利，
赐另一些人财富，
赐许多人辩才，
赐世人智慧；
他赐勇士顺风，
赐诗人诗艺，
又赐许多豪杰
男子的勇气。

她将向索尔献祭，
她将如此祈求：
愿他始终待你
一片善意；
虽然他对巨人的女子
向来很少如此。

如今从栏中牵出
你的一匹狼，
让它奔跑，
伴着我的公猪。”
海恩德拉说：
“你的公猪走得太慢，
踏着众神的道路，
我不愿累坏
我珍爱的坐骑。

芙蕾雅，你真狡诈，
你这样试探我，
你望向我们的
眼神如此，
因为你带着情郎
踏上亡者之路，
那年轻的奥塔尔，
因斯泰因的儿子。”
芙蕾雅说：

“海恩德拉，你糊涂了，
我想你是在做梦，
竟说我的情郎
走在亡者之路上；
那里闪耀的是公猪，
金鬃的古林布尔斯提，
希尔迪斯维尼，
是能工巧匠为我造的，
那两个侏儒，
达因和纳比。

我们这就下鞍，
一同坐下来，
谈论诸王的
家族世系，
那些人的先祖
出自众神。

他们已用
瓦尔人的黄金打赌，
年轻的奥塔尔
和安甘提尔；
理应给予帮助，
使这年轻的豪杰
能够承继祖产，
从他的亲族手中。

他为我筑起祭坛，
用石块堆砌，
——如今那些石头
已化作玻璃；——
他曾将祭坛染红，
用新鲜的牛血；
奥塔尔始终
信奉阿萨女神。

如今请你数说
古老的宗亲，
追溯世人的
家族渊源：
哪些是斯基约尔德族，
哪些是斯基尔芬族，
哪些是厄德林族，
哪些是于尔芬族，
哪些出自自由民，
哪些出自君王，
这些人中最杰出者，
居于米德加尔特？”
海恩德拉说：

“奥塔尔，你是
因斯泰因的儿子，
而因斯泰因是
老阿尔夫的儿子，
阿尔夫生于乌尔夫，
乌尔夫生于塞法里，
而塞法里生于
红斯万。

你的父亲有一位母亲，
佩戴项链，身份尊贵，
我想她的名字是
女祭司赫莱迪丝；
弗罗迪是她的父亲，
弗里温德是她的母亲；
整个家族都被视为
显贵之列。

从前奥迪
是最强大的人，
更早的哈夫丹
是斯基约尔德族之首；
他们这些豪杰打过的
战役声名远扬，
他的功业仿佛传遍了
苍穹的四方。

他与众人中最高贵的
埃蒙德结盟壮大，
又用冰冷的剑刃
杀死西格特里格，
他娶了阿尔姆韦格，
女子中最高贵的一位，
他们生养了
十八个儿子。

斯基约尔德族由此而出，
斯基尔芬族由此而出，
厄德林族由此而出，
英格林王朝由此而出，
自由民的后裔由此而出，
君王的后裔由此而出，
这些人中最杰出者，
居于米德加尔特；
他们全是你的亲族，
愚蠢的奥塔尔。

希尔迪贡恩
是她的母亲，
是斯薇法
与海王的孩子；
他们全是你的亲族，
愚蠢的奥塔尔。
你须记住这些。
你还想听下去吗？

达格娶了索拉，
勇士们的母亲，
这个家族养育出
最杰出的战士：
弗拉德马尔和吉尔德，
还有两个弗雷基，
阿姆和约苏尔马尔，
以及老阿尔夫。
你须记住这些。
你还想听下去吗？

他们的朋友名叫凯蒂尔，
是克吕普的继承人，
他是你母亲的
外祖父；
在那里，弗罗迪
先于卡里，
年长的阿尔夫
也已降生。

接着是南娜，
内克维的女儿，
她的儿子是
你父亲的姻亲；
这姻缘已很久远，
我还要继续数说；
我两人都认识，
布罗德和赫尔维；
他们全是你的亲族，
愚蠢的奥塔尔。

伊索尔夫和阿索尔夫，
是厄尔莫德的儿子，
他们的母亲是斯库尔希尔德，
斯凯基尔的女儿；
你应把他们算在
众多豪杰之中；
他们全是你的亲族，
愚蠢的奥塔尔。

壁垒贡纳尔，
犁柄格里姆，
铁盾索里尔，
张口的乌尔夫。
23. ［赫尔瓦德、希约尔瓦德，
赫拉尼、安甘提尔］，
布伊和布拉米，
巴里和雷夫尼尔，
廷德和提尔芬，
还有两个哈丁；
他们全是你的亲族，
愚蠢的奥塔尔。
24. 在东方的博尔姆，
降生了
阿恩格里姆
与埃富拉的儿子们，
狂战士的喧嚣，
各样的灾祸，
遍及陆地与海洋，
如烈火席卷；
他们全是你的亲族，
愚蠢的奥塔尔。

我两人都认识，
布罗德和赫尔维；
他们都曾在
老赫罗尔夫的侍从之中。
他们全都出自
约尔蒙雷克，
他是西格尔德的姻亲，
——听我讲述，——
那人令敌军胆寒，
曾杀死法夫尼尔。

那位君王
出自沃尔松，
而希约尔迪丝
出自赫劳敦，
弗利米则
出自厄德林族；
他们全是你的亲族，
愚蠢的奥塔尔。

贡纳尔与霍格尼，
吉尤基的继承人，
还有古德伦，
他们的姐妹；
古特霍姆并非
吉尤基的后裔，
却是他们两人的
兄弟；
他们全是你的亲族，
愚蠢的奥塔尔。

战齿哈拉尔德
生于赫雷克，
那位掷环者，
他是奥德的儿子，
深谋的奥德
是伊瓦尔的女儿，
而拉德巴德
是兰德韦尔的父亲；
他们都是
受众神赐福的人；
他们全是你的亲族，
愚蠢的奥塔尔。”
—— —— ——
芙蕾雅说：

“请你端来记忆之酒，
给我的客人，
让他记得一切，
逐字复述
这番话语，
在第三天的清晨，
当他与安甘提尔
追溯各自的世系。”
海恩德拉说：

“从这里走开，
我要睡觉，
你从我这里得不到
多少好处；
奥德的情人啊，你奔走
在外面的夜色中，
就像海德伦
混在公山羊群中。

你奔向奥德，
总是满怀渴望，
更多男人曾钻到
你的裙子底下；
奥德的情人啊，你奔走
在外面的夜色中，
就像海德伦
混在公山羊群中。”
芙蕾雅说：

“我要点起火焰，
围住这女巨人，
让你无法
从这里逃走。”
海恩德拉说：

“我看见烈火燃烧，
大地腾起火焰，
几乎所有生灵
都得丧命；
你把啤酒
递到奥塔尔手中吧，
里面掺满毒液，
愿他遭逢厄运。”
芙蕾雅说：

“你话中的凶兆
不会有任何效力，
纵然你，巨人的女子，
以灾祸相诅咒；
他将饮下
珍贵的佳酿；
我祈求所有神明
扶助奥塔尔。”

阿萨神族
数来有十一位，
当巴德尔倒下，
伏在死亡的土丘旁；
瓦利说自己
理当报此仇，
为自己的兄弟，
杀死那亲手行凶者。

巴德尔的父亲
是博尔的继承人，
弗雷娶了格尔德，
她是吉密尔的女儿，
出自巨人一族，
母亲是奥尔博达；
夏基也是
他们的亲族，
那爱好华饰的巨人，
斯卡蒂是他的女儿。

我们对你说了许多，
还记得更多；
我留意着，愿你知晓这些。
你还想听下去吗？

哈基是赫韦德娜的
儿子中最出众的，
而赫韦德娜的
父亲是希约尔瓦德；
海德与赫罗斯肖夫
是赫里姆尼尔的子女。

所有女先知
都出自维多尔夫，
所有巫师
都出自维尔梅德，
施行巫术的人
都出自斯瓦尔特赫夫迪，
所有巨人
都出自尤弥尔。

我们对你说了许多，
还记得更多；
我留意着，愿你知晓这些。

曾有一位降生，
在远古之初，
力大无穷，
出自神明的族类；
九位生下了他，
这以矛矢显贵的男子，
九位巨人少女，
在大地的边缘。

盖尔普生下了他，
格雷普生下了他，
埃斯特拉生下了他，
还有埃尔吉娅法，
乌尔夫伦生下了他，
还有安盖娅，
伊姆德和阿特拉，
还有雅恩萨克莎。

他得到滋养，
凭大地的力量，
凭冰冷的海水，
还有祭猪的鲜血。

我们对你说了许多，
还记得更多；
我留意着，愿你知晓这些。
你还想听下去吗？

洛基与安格尔伯达
生下了狼，
又与斯瓦迪尔法利
生下斯雷普尼尔；
有一个妖怪被认为
是所有妖怪中最凶恶的，
它出自
比莱斯特的兄弟。

洛基吃下了一颗心，
它在烧焦的椴木中，
他发现那半烤熟的
女人的心石；
洛夫特因此怀孕，
因那邪恶的女人；
从此大地上的
一切妖魔由此而生。

大海在风暴中直扑
苍穹本身，
漫过陆地，
天空也崩裂；
由此而来的是大雪
与猛烈的狂风；
那时已然注定，
众神将走向末日。

曾有一位降生，
比所有人都伟大，
他得到滋养，
凭大地的力量；
人们说这位君王
胸襟最为宏大，
与所有族群
都有亲缘相连。

随后另一位到来，
比他更有力量，
然而我不敢
说出他的名字；
如今很少有人
能看见更远的未来，
越过奥丁
与狼相遇之时。
