Heitr ertu, hripuðr,
ok heldr til mikill;
göngumk firr, funi!
loði sviðnar,
þótt ek á loft berak;
brennumk feldr fyr.
Átta nætr sat ek
milli elda hér,
svá at mér manngi
mat né bauð
nema einn Agnarr,
er einn skal ráða,
Geirröðar sonr,
Gotna landi.
Heill skaltu, Agnarr,
alls þik heilan biðr
Veratýr vera;
eins drykkjar
þú skalt aldrigi
betri gjöld geta.
Land er heilagt,
er ek liggja sé
ásum ok alfum nær;
en í Þrúðheimi
skal Þórr vera
unz of rjúfask regin.
Ýdalir heita,
þar er Ullr hefir
sér of görva sali;
Alfheim Frey
gáfu í árdaga
tívar at tannféi.
Bær er sá inn þriði,
er blíð regin
silfri þökðu sali;
Valaskjalf heitir,
er vélti sér
áss í árdaga.
Sökkvabekkr heitir inn fjórði,
en þar svalar knegu
unnir yfir glymja;
þar þau Óðinn ok Sága
drekka um alla daga
glöð ór gullnum kerum.
Glaðsheimr heitir inn fimmti,
þars in gullbjarta
Valhöll víð of þrumir;
en þar Hroftr kýss
hverjan dag
vápndauða vera.
Mjök er auðkennt,
þeim er til Óðins koma
salkynni at séa;
sköftum er rann reft,
skjöldum er salr þakiðr,
brynjum um bekki strát.
Mjök er auðkennt,
þeir er til Óðins koma
salkynni at séa:
vargr hangir
fyr vestan dyrr,
ok drúpir örn yfir.
Þrymheimr heitir inn sétti,
er Þjazi bjó,
sá inn ámáttki jötunn;
en nú Skaði byggvir,
skír brúðr goða,
fornar tóftir föður.
Breiðablik eru in sjaundu,
en þar Baldr hefir
sér of gerva sali,
á því landi,
er ek liggja veit
fæsta feiknstafi.
Himinbjörg eru in áttu,
en þar Heimdall
kveða valda véum;
þar vörðr goða
drekkr í væru ranni
glaðr inn góða mjöð.
Fólkvangr er inn níundi,
en þar Freyja ræðr
sessa kostum í sal;
halfan val
hon kýss hverjan dag,
en halfan Óðinn á.
Glitnir er inn tíundi,
hann er gulli studdr
ok silfri þakðr it sama;
en þar Forseti
byggir flestan dag
ok svæfir allar sakir.
Nóatún eru in elliftu,
en þar Njörðr hefir,
sér of görva sali;
manna þengill
inn meins vani
hátimbruðum hörgi ræðr.
Hrísi vex
ok háu grasi
Víðars land viði;
en þar mögr of læzt
af mars baki
frækn at hefna föður.
Andhrímnir
lætr í Eldhrímni
Sæhrímni soðinn,
fleska bezt;
en þat fáir vitu,
við hvat einherjar alask.
Gera ok Freka
seðr gunntamiðr
hróðigr Herjaföður;
en við vín eitt
vápngöfugr
Óðinn æ lifir.
Huginn ok Muninn
fljúga hverjan dag
Jörmungrund yfir;
óumk ek of Hugin,
at hann aftr né komi-t,
þó sjámk meir of Munin.
Þýtr Þund,
unir Þjóðvitnis
fiskr flóði í;
árstraumr þykkir
ofmikill
Valglaumni at vaða.
Valgrind heitir,
er stendr velli á
heilög fyr helgum dyrum;
forn er sú grind,
en þat fáir vitu,
hvé hon er í lás of lokin.
Fimm hundruð dura
ok umb fjórum tögum,
svá hygg ek á Valhöllu vera;
átta hundruð Einherja
ganga senn ór einum durum,
þá er þeir fara við vitni at vega.
Fimm hundruð golfa
ok umb fjórum tögum,
svá hygg ek Bilskirrni með bugum;
ranna þeira,
er ek reft vita,
míns veit ek mest magar.
Heiðrún heitir geit,
er stendr höllu á
ok bítr af Læraðs limum;
skapker fylla
hon skal ins skíra mjaðar;
kná-at sú veig vanask.
Eikþyrnir heitir hjörtr,
er stendr höllu á
ok bítr af Læraðs limum;
en af hans hornum
drýpr í Hvergelmi,
þaðan eigu vötn öll vega.
Síð ok Víð,
Sækin ok Eikin,
Svöl ok Gunnþró,
Fjörm ok Fimbulþul,
Rín ok Rennandi,
Gipul ok Göpul,
Gömul ok Geirvimul,
þær hverfa um hodd goða,
Þyn ok Vín,
Þöll ok Höll,
Gráð ok Gunnþorin.
Vína heitir ein,
önnur Vegsvinn,
þriðja Þjóðnuma,
Nyt ok Nöt,
Nönn ok Hrönn,
Slíð ok Hríð,
Sylgr ok Ylgr,
Víð ok Ván,
Vönd ok Strönd,
Gjöll ok Leiftr,
þær falla gumnum nær,
er falla til Heljar heðan.
Körmt ok Örmt
ok Kerlaugar tvær,
þær skal Þórr vaða
dag hvern,
er hann dæma ferr
at aski Yggdrasils,
því at ásbrú
brenn öll loga,
heilög vötn hlóa.
Glaðr ok Gyllir,
Glær ok Skeiðbrimir,
Silfrintoppr ok Sinir,
Gísl ok Falhófnir,
Gulltoppr ok Léttfeti,
þeim ríða æsir jóm
dag hvern,
er þeir dæma fara
at aski Yggdrasils.
Þríar rætr
standa á þría vega
undan aski Yggdrasils;
Hel býr und einni,
annarri hrímþursar,
þriðju mennskir menn.
Ratatoskr heitir íkorni,
er renna skal
at aski Yggdrasils,
arnar orð
hann skal ofan bera
ok segja Niðhöggvi niðr.
Hirtir eru ok fjórir,
þeirs af hæfingar
gaghalsir gnaga:
Dáinn ok Dvalinn,
Duneyrr ok Duraþrór.
Ormar fleiri liggja
und aski Yggdrasils,
en þat of hyggi hverr ósviðra apa:
Góinn ok Móinn,
þeir ro Grafvitnis synir,
Grábakr ok Grafvölluðr,
Ófnir ok Sváfnir,
hygg ek, at æ skyli
meiðs kvistu má.
Askr Yggdrasils
drýgir erfiði
meira en menn um viti:
hjörtr bítr ofan,
en á hliðu fúnar,
skerðir Niðhöggr neðan.
Hrist ok Mist
vil ek, at mér horn beri,
Skeggjöld ok Skögul,
Hildr ok Þrúðr,
Hlökk ok Herfjötur,
Göll ok Geirönul,
Randgríðr ok Ráðgríðr
ok Reginleif,
þær bera Einherjum öl.
Árvakr ok Alsviðr
þeir skulu upp heðan
svangir sól draga;
en und þeira bógum
fálu blíð regin,
æsir, ísarnkol.
Svalinn heitir,
hann stendr sólu fyrir,
skjöldr, skínanda goði;
björg ok brim,
ek veit, at brenna skulu,
ef hann fellr í frá.
Sköll heitir ulfr,
er fylgir inu skírleita goði
til varna viðar,
en annarr Hati,
hann er Hróðvitnis sonr,
sá skal fyr heiða brúði himins.
Ór Ymis holdi
var jörð of sköpuð,
en ór sveita sær,
björg ór beinum,
baðmr ór hári,
en ór hausi himinn.
En ór hans brám
gerðu blíð regin
Miðgarð manna sonum,
en ór hans heila
váru þau in harðmóðgu
ský öll of sköpuð.
Ullar hylli
hefr ok allra goða
hverr er tekr fyrstr á funa,
því at opnir heimar
verða of ása sonum,
þá er hefja af hvera.
Ívalda synir
gengu í árdaga
Skíðblaðni at skapa,
skipa bezt,
skírum Frey,
nýtum Njarðar bur.
Askr Yggdrasils,
hann er æðstr viða,
en Skíðblaðnir skipa,
Óðinn ása,
en jóa Sleipnir,
Bilröst brúa,
en Bragi skalda,
Hábrók hauka,
en hunda Garmr.
Svipum hef ek nú yppt
fyr sigtíva sonum,
við þat skal vilbjörg vaka;
öllum ásum
þat skal inn koma
Ægis bekki á,
Ægis drekku at.
Hétumk Grímr,

Alföðr, Valföðr,
Atríðr ok Farmatýr;
einu nafni
hétumk aldregi,
síz ek með folkum fór.
Grímni mik hétu
at Geirröðar,
en Jalk at Ásmundar,
en þá Kjalar,
er ek kjálka dró,
Þrór þingum at,
Viðurr at vígum,
Óski ok Ómi,
Jafnhár ok Biflindi,
Göndlir ok Hárbarðr með goðum.
Sviðurr ok Sviðrir
er ek hét at Sökkmímis,
ok dulðak þann inn aldna jötun,
þá er ek Miðvitnis vark
ins mæra burar
orðinn einbani.
Ölr ertu, Geirröðr,
hefr þú ofdrukkit;
miklu ertu hnugginn,
er þú ert mínu gengi,
öllum Einherjum
ok Óðins hylli.
Fjölð ek þér sagðak,
en þú fátt of mant;
of þik véla vinir;
mæki liggja
ek sé míns vinar
allan í dreyra drifinn.
Eggmóðan val
nú mun Yggr hafa,
þitt veit ek líf of liðit;
úfar ro dísir,
nú knáttu Óðin sjá,
nálgasktu mik, ef þú megir.
Óðinn ek nú heiti,
Yggr ek áðan hét,
hétumk Þundr fyr þat,
Vakr ok Skilfingr,
Váfuðr ok Hroftatýr,
Gautr ok Jalkr með goðum,
Ófnir ok Sváfnir,
er ek hygg, at orðnir sé
allir af einum mér.
Geirröðr konungr sat ok hafði sverð um kné sér ok brugðit til miðs. En er hann heyrði, at Óðinn var þar kominn, þá stóð hann upp ok vildi taka Óðin frá eldinum. Sverðit slapp ór hendi honum, ok vissu hjöltin niðr. Konungr drap fæti ok steypðist áfram, en sverðit stóð í gögnum hann, ok fekk hann bana. Óðinn hvarf þá, en Agnarr var þar konungr lengi síðan.

King Hrauthung had two sons: one was called Agnar, and the other Geirröth. Agnar was ten winters old, and Geirröth eight. Once they both rowed in a boat with their fishing-gear to catch little fish; and the wind drove them out into the sea. In the darkness of the night they were wrecked on the shore; and going up, they found a poor peasant, with whom they stayed through the winter. The housewife took care of Agnar, and the peasant cared for Geirröth, and taught him wisdom. In the spring the peasant gave him a boat; and when the couple led them to the shore, the peasant spoke secretly with Geirröth. They had a fair wind, and came to their father's landing-place. Geirröth was forward in the boat; he leaped up on land, but pushed out the boat and said, "Go thou now where evil may have thee!" The boat drifted out to sea. Geirröth, however, went up to the house, and was well received, but his father was dead. Then Geirröth was made king, and became a renowned man.
Othin and Frigg sat in Hlithskjolf and looked over all the worlds. Othin said: "Seest thou Agnar, thy fosterling, how he begets children with a giantess in the cave? But Geirröth, my fosterling, is a king, and now rules over his land." Frigg said: "He is so miserly that he tortures his guests if he thinks that too many of them come to him." Othin replied that this was the greatest of lies; and they made a wager about this matter. Frigg sent her maid-servant, Fulla, to Geirröth. She bade the king beware lest a magician who was come thither to his land should bewitch him, and told this sign concerning him, that no dog was so fierce as to leap at him. Now it was a very great slander that King Geirröth was not hospitable; but nevertheless he had them take the man whom the dogs would not attack. He wore a dark-blue mantle and called himself Grimnir, but said no more about himself, though he was questioned. The king had him tortured to make him speak, and set him between two fires, and he sat there eight nights. King Geirröth had a son ten winters old, and called Agnar after his father's brother. Agnar went to Grimnir, and gave him a full horn to drink from, and said that the king did ill in letting him be tormented without cause. Grimnir drank from the horn; the fire had come so near that the mantle burned on Grimnir's back. He spake:
Hot art thou, fire! too fierce by far;
Get ye now gone, ye flames!
The mantle is burnt, though I bear it aloft,
And the fire scorches the fur.
'Twixt the fires now eight nights have I sat,
And no man brought meat to me,
Save Agnar alone, and alone shall rule
Geirröth's son o'er the Goths.
Hail to thee, Agnar! for hailed thou art
By the voice of Veratyr; For a single drink shalt thou never receive
A greater gift as reward.
The land is holy that lies hard by
The gods and the elves together;
And Thor shall ever in Thruthheim dwell,
Till the gods to destruction go.
Ydalir call they the place where Ull
A hall for himself hath set;
And Alfheim the gods to Freyr once gave
As a tooth-gift in ancient times.
A third home is there, with silver thatched
By the hands of the gracious gods:
Valaskjolf is it, in days of old
Set by a god for himself.
Sökkvabekk is the fourth, where cool waves flow, And amid their murmur it stands;
There daily do Othin and Saga drink
In gladness from cups of gold.
The fifth is Glathsheim, and gold-bright there
Stands Valhall stretching wide;
And there does Othin each day choose
The men who have fallen in fight.
Easy is it to know for him who to Othin
Comes and beholds the hall;
Its rafters are spears, with shields is it roofed,
On its benches are breastplates strewn.
Easy is it to know for him who to Othin
Comes and beholds the hall;
There hangs a wolf by the western door,
And o'er it an eagle hovers.
The sixth is Thrymheim, where Thjazi dwelt,
The giant of marvelous might; Now Skathi abides, the god's fair bride,
In the home that her father had.
The seventh is Breithablik; Baldr has there
For himself a dwelling set,
In the land I know that lies so fair,
And from evil fate is free.
Himinbjorg is the eighth, and Heimdall there
O'er men holds sway, it is said;
In his well-built house does the warder of heaven
The good mead gladly drink.
The ninth is Folkvang, where Freyja decrees Who shall have seats in the hall;
The half of the dead each day does she choose,
And half does Othin have.
The tenth is Glitnir; its pillars are gold,
And its roof with silver is set;
There most of his days does Forseti dwell,
And sets all strife at end.
The eleventh is Noatun; there has Njorth
For himself a dwelling set;
The sinless ruler of men there sits
In his temple timbered high.
Filled with growing trees and high-standing grass
Is Vithi, Vithar's land; But there did the son from his steed leap down,
When his father he fain would avenge.
In Eldhrimnir Andhrimnir cooks
Sæhrimnir's seething flesh,—
The best of food, but few men know
On what fare the warriors feast.
Freki and Geri does Heerfather feed,
The far-famed fighter of old:
But on wine alone does the weapon-decked god,
Othin, forever live.
O'er Mithgarth Hugin and Munin both
Each day set forth to fly;
For Hugin I fear lest he come not home,
But for Munin my care is more.
Loud roars Thund, and Thjothvitnir's fish
Joyously fares in the flood;
Hard does it seem to the host of the slain
To wade the torrent wild.
There Valgrind stands, the sacred gate,
And behind are the holy doors;
Old is the gate, but few there are
Who can tell how it tightly is locked.
Five hundred doors and forty there are,
I ween, in Valhall's walls;
Eight hundred fighters through one door fare
When to war with the wolf they go.
Five hundred rooms and forty there are
I ween, in Bilskirnir built; Of all the homes whose roofs I beheld,
My son's the greatest meseemed.
Heithrun is the goat who stands by Heerfather's hall,
And the branches of Lærath she bites;
The pitcher she fills with the fair, clear mead,
Ne'er fails the foaming drink.
Eikthyrnir is the hart who stands by Heerfather's hall
And the branches of Lærath he bites;
From his horns a stream into Hvergelmir drops,
Thence all the rivers run.
Sith and Vith, Sækin and Ækin,
Svol and Fimbulthul, Gunnthro and Fjorm,
Rin and Rinnandi,
Gipul and Gopul, Gomul and Geirvimul,
That flow through the fields of the gods;
Thyn and Vin, Thol and Hoi,
Groth and Gunnthorin.
Vino is one, Vegsvin another,
And Thjothnuma a third;
Nyt and Not, Non and Hron,
Slith and Hrith, Sylg and Ylg,
Vith and Von, Vond and Strond,
Gjol and Leipt, that go among men.
And hence they fall to Hel.
Kormt and Ormt and the Kerlaugs twain
Shall Thor each day wade through,
(When dooms to give he forth shall go
To the ash-tree Yggdrasil;)
For heaven's bridge burns all in flame,
And the sacred waters seethe.
Glath and Gyllir, Gler and Skeithbrimir,
Silfrintopp and Sinir,
Gisl and Falhofnir, Golltopp and Lettfeti,
On these steeds the gods shall go
When dooms to give each day they ride
To the ash-tree Yggdrasil.
Three roots there are that three ways run
'Neath the ash-tree Yggdrasil;
'Neath the first lives Hel, 'neath the second the frost-giants,
'Neath the last are the lands of men.
Ratatosk is the squirrel who there shall run
On the ash-tree Yggdrasil;
From above the words of the eagle he bears,
And tells them to Nithhogg beneath.
Four harts there are, that the highest twigs Nibble with necks bent back;
Dain and Dvalin, ......
Duneyr and Dyrathror.
More serpents there are beneath the ash
Than an unwise ape would think;
Goin and Moin, Grafvitnir's sons,
Grabak and Grafvolluth,
Ofnir and Svafnir shall ever, methinks,
Gnaw at the twigs of the tree.
Yggdrasil's ash great evil suffers,
Far more than men do know; The hart bites its top, its trunk is rotting,
And Nithhogg gnaws beneath.
Hrist and Mist bring the horn at my will,
Skeggjold and Skogul;
Hild and Thruth, Hlok and Herfjotur,
Gol and Geironul,
Randgrith and Rathgrith and Reginleif
Beer to the warriors bring.
Arvak and Alsvith up shall drag
Weary the weight of the sun;
But an iron cool have the kindly gods
Of yore set under their yokes.
In front of the sun does Svalin stand,
The shield for the shining god;
Mountains and sea would be set in flames
If it fell from before the sun.
Skoll is the wolf that to Ironwood
Follows the glittering god,
And the son of Hrothvitnir, Hati, awaits
The burning bride of heaven.
Out of Ymir's flesh was fashioned the earth,
And the ocean out of his blood;
Of his bones the hills, of his hair the trees,
Of his skull the heavens high.
Mithgarth the gods from his eyebrows made,
And set for the sons of men;
And out of his brain the baleful clouds
They made to move on high.
His the favor of Ull and of all the gods
Who first in the flames will reach;
For the house can be seen by the sons of the gods
If the kettle aside were cast.
In days of old did Ivaldi's sons
Skithblathnir fashion fair,
The best of ships for the bright god Freyr,
The noble son of Njorth.
The best of trees must Yggdrasil be,
Skithblathnir best of boats;
Of all the gods is Othin the greatest,
And Sleipnir the best of steeds;
Bilrost of bridges, Bragi of skalds,
Hobrok of hawks, and Garm of hounds.
To the race of the gods my face have I raised,
And the wished-for aid have I waked;
For to all the gods has the message gone
That sit in Ægir's seats,
That drink within Ægir's doors.
Grim is my name, Gangleri am I,
Herjan and Hjalmberi,
Thekk and Thrithi, Thuth and Uth,
Helblindi and Hor;
Sath and Svipal and Sanngetal,
Herteit and Hnikar,
Bileyg, Baleyg, Bolverk, Fjolnir,
Grim and Grimnir, Glapsvith, Fjolsvith.
Sithhott, Sithskegg, Sigfather, Hnikuth, Allfather, Valfather, Atrith, Farmatyr:
A single name have I never had
Since first among men I fared.
Grimnir they call me in Geirröth's hall,
With Asmund Jalk am I;
Kjalar I was when I went in a sledge,
At the council Thror am I called,
As Vithur I fare to the fight;
Oski, Biflindi, Jafnhor and Omi,
Gondlir and Harbarth midst gods.
I deceived the giant Sokkmimir old
As Svithur and Svithrir of yore;
Of Mithvitnir's son the slayer I was
When the famed one found his doom.
Drunk art thou, Geirröth, too much didst thou drink,
...............
Much hast thou lost, for help no more
From me or my heroes thou hast.
Small heed didst thou take to all that I told,
And false were the words of thy friends;
For now the sword of my friend I see,
That waits all wet with blood.
Thy sword-pierced body shall Ygg have soon,
For thy life is ended at last;
The maids are hostile; now Othin behold!
Now come to me if thou canst!
Now am I Othin, Ygg was I once,
Ere that did they call me Thund;
Vak and Skilfing, Vofuth and Hroptatyr,
Gaut and Jalk midst the gods;
Ofnir and Svafnir, and all, methinks,
Are names for none but me.
King Geirröth sat and had his sword on his knee, half drawn from its sheath. But when he heard that Othin was come thither, then he rose up and sought to take Othin from the fire. The sword slipped from his hand, and fell with the hilt down. The king stumbled and fell forward, and the sword pierced him through, and slew him. Then Othin vanished, but Agnar long ruled there as king.

你好燙,烈焰啊,
也太過猛烈;
火啊,離我遠些!
毛衣已燒焦,
縱使我將它高高提起;
火先燒著了我的披風。
我已坐了八夜,
在這兩堆火之間,
竟無一人
給我食物,
只有阿格納爾,
他將獨自統治——
這蓋爾羅德之子——
哥德人的國土。
願你安好,阿格納爾,
因為維拉提爾祈願
你平安無恙;
只為一杯飲料,
你永遠不會
得到更好的報償。
那是一片聖地,
我看見它坐落於
阿薩神族與精靈近旁;
而在斯魯德海姆,
索爾將長居,
直到諸神毀滅。
那地方名叫伊達利爾,
烏勒在那裡
為自己建了殿堂;
亞爾夫海姆則由諸神
在遠古之初賜給弗雷,
作為初生乳齒的賀禮。
第三處居所,
慈惠的諸神
以白銀覆蓋殿頂;
它名叫瓦拉斯卡爾夫,
是一位神在遠古之初
為自己取得的。
第四處名叫瑟克瓦貝克,
清涼的波浪
在它上方轟然作響;
奧丁與薩迦在那裡
日日歡欣地
用金杯飲酒。
第五處名叫格拉德海姆,
金光燦爛的
英靈殿巍然廣立於彼;
赫羅夫特在那裡
每日揀選
死於兵刃之人。
凡來到奧丁面前,
觀看殿堂的人,
都很容易認出它;
屋舍以矛桿作椽,
殿頂以盾牌鋪成,
長凳上鋪滿鎖子甲。
凡來到奧丁面前,
觀看殿堂的人,
都很容易認出它:
有一匹狼懸掛在
西邊的門前,
一隻鷹在上方垂首。
第六處名叫索列姆海姆,
夏基曾住在那裡,
那位力大無窮的巨人;
如今絲卡蒂住在那裡,
這位神明的明麗新娘,
住在父親古老的宅院。
第七處是布雷達布利克,
巴德爾在那裡
為自己建了殿堂,
那一片土地,
據我所知,
凶兆最為稀少。
第八處是希敏比約格,
人們說海姆達爾
掌管那裡的聖所;
諸神的守衛在那裡,
安寧的屋舍之中,
歡飲上好的蜜酒。
第九處是弗爾克旺,
芙蕾雅在那裡決定
殿堂座席的分配;
戰死者的一半,
由她每日揀選,
另一半歸奧丁所有。
第十處是格利特尼爾,
它以黃金作柱,
也以白銀覆頂;
福爾塞提在那裡
度過大半時日,
平息一切爭訟。
第十一處是諾阿通,
尼約德在那裡
為自己建了殿堂;
這位人間的君主,
毫無邪惡之人,
掌管高高築起的神廟。
灌木叢生,
長草茂密,
覆滿維達的林地;
那位兒子將在那裡
勇敢地躍下馬背,
為父報仇。
安德赫里姆尼爾
在埃爾德赫里姆尼爾鍋中
煮熟瑟赫里姆尼爾,
那最上好的豬肉;
但很少有人知道,
英靈戰士靠什麼維生。
格里與弗雷基,
由慣於征戰、
聲名顯赫的軍陣之父餵飽;
但只憑葡萄酒,
以兵刃為榮的
奧丁便永遠維生。
福金與穆寧
每日飛越
廣袤的大地;
我擔心福金,
怕牠不再歸來,
但對穆寧,我更加掛心。
通德河轟鳴,
西奧德維特尼爾的魚
在水中悠游;
那河流的湍勢,
對戰死者之眾而言,
似乎過於洶湧,無法涉渡。
它名叫瓦爾格林德,
聳立在平原之上,
是聖門前的神聖柵門;
那道柵門年代久遠,
但很少有人知道,
它的鎖是如何鎖上的。
五百道門,
再加四十道,
我想英靈殿共有這麼多;
八百名英靈戰士
同時走出一道門,
出征與巨狼交戰。
五百間廳室,
再加四十間,
我想比爾斯基爾尼爾的曲廊內共有這麼多;
在所有我知道
已架起屋頂的房舍中,
我知道我兒子的最為宏大。
有隻母山羊名叫海德倫,
站在殿堂頂上,
啃食萊拉德的枝條;
牠將以清澈的蜜酒
注滿一只大缸;
這美酒永不枯竭。
有隻牡鹿名叫艾克瑟尼爾,
站在殿堂頂上,
啃食萊拉德的枝條;
從牠的角上
水滴落入赫瓦格密爾,
一切河川皆從那裡發源。
錫德河與維德河,
瑟金與艾金,
斯沃爾與岡恩斯羅,
菲約爾姆與芬布爾蘇爾,
萊茵河與倫南迪,
吉普爾與格普爾,
格穆爾與蓋爾維穆爾,
它們環繞諸神的寶藏流轉,
辛與溫,
瑟爾與赫爾,
格拉德與岡恩索林。
一條名叫維娜,
第二條是維格斯溫,
第三條是西奧德努瑪,
尼特與諾特,
南恩與赫倫,
斯利德河與赫里德,
西爾格與伊爾格,
維德河與萬,
萬德與斯特倫德,
吉奧爾與雷普特河,
它們流經人間近旁,
從這裡流向赫爾。
科爾姆特與奧爾姆特,
以及兩條凱爾勞加爾,
索爾必須涉渡它們,
日復一日,
當他前去裁決,
來到梣樹尤克特拉希爾之下;
因為阿薩神族之橋
整座燃起烈焰,
神聖的河水沸騰。
格拉德與吉利爾,
格勒爾與斯凱德布里米爾,
西爾弗林托普與西尼爾,
吉斯爾與法爾霍夫尼爾,
古爾托普與萊特費提,
阿薩神族騎著這些駿馬,
日復一日,
前去裁決,
來到梣樹尤克特拉希爾之下。
三條樹根,
伸向三個方向,
從梣樹尤克特拉希爾底下延展;
赫爾住在一條下面,
霜巨人住在第二條下面,
人間的凡人住在第三條下面。
有隻松鼠名叫拉塔托斯克,
牠必須奔走於
梣樹尤克特拉希爾之上,
把鷹的話語
從上方帶下,
傳給底下的尼德霍格。
還有四隻牡鹿,
昂首伸頸,
啃食樹梢的嫩芽:
達因與德瓦林,
杜內爾與杜拉斯羅爾。
盤伏的蛇
在梣樹尤克特拉希爾底下,
比任何愚蠢傻子所能想像的還多:
戈因與莫因,
牠們是格拉夫維特尼爾的兒子,
格拉巴克與格拉夫沃爾德,
奧夫尼爾與斯瓦夫尼爾,
我想,牠們將永遠
啃蝕這樹的枝條。
梣樹尤克特拉希爾
所遭受的苦難,
比世人所知的更多:
牡鹿在上方啃咬,
樹幹從側旁腐朽,
尼德霍格在底下齧蝕。
赫里斯特與密斯特,
我願她們為我捧來酒角,
斯凱格約爾德與斯科古爾,
希爾德與斯魯德,
赫洛克與赫爾菲約特爾,
格爾與蓋爾奧努爾,
蘭德格里德與拉德格里德,
以及雷金蕾芙,
她們為英靈戰士送上啤酒。
阿爾瓦克與阿爾斯維德,
牠們必須從這裡往上,
以瘦削的身軀拉著太陽;
而在牠們的肩下,
慈惠的諸神——
阿薩神族——藏了鐵製的冷卻器。
那盾名叫斯瓦林,
它立在太陽之前,
遮護那光輝的神明;
山岳與海洋,
我知道,都將燃燒,
倘若它從那裡墜落。
有匹狼名叫斯庫爾,
追隨那面容明亮的神明,
直到庇護之林;
另一匹名叫哈提,
牠是赫羅德維特尼爾之子,
將在天空明麗的新娘前方奔行。
用尤彌爾的肉,
塑成了大地,
用他的血,造出了海洋,
用他的骨,造出了山岳,
用他的髮,造出了林木,
用他的頭顱,造出了天空。
慈惠的諸神
又用他的眉毛,
為人類子孫造出米德加爾特,
而用他的腦髓,
塑成了那一切
凶猛陰沉的雲。
烏勒的眷顧,
以及眾神的恩寵,
都歸最先伸手探入火中的人,
因為神之子們
一抬開大鍋,
諸界便豁然敞開。
伊瓦爾迪的兒子們
在遠古之初動手
打造斯基德普拉特尼爾,
那最上好的船,
獻給光輝的弗雷,
尼約德賢能的兒子。
梣樹尤克特拉希爾,
是樹木之首,
斯基德普拉特尼爾是船舶之首,
奧丁是阿薩神族之首,
斯雷普尼爾是駿馬之首,
比弗霜橋是橋梁之首,
布拉基是詩人之首,
哈布羅克是鷹隼之首,
加姆是群犬之首。
我如今已向
勝利諸神的子嗣揭露面容,
這將喚醒我所盼望的援助;
此事將傳入
所有阿薩神族耳中,
在埃吉爾的長凳上,
在埃吉爾的酒宴中。
我曾名叫格里姆,
曾名叫岡格雷里,
赫爾揚與希亞爾姆貝里,
塞克與斯里迪,
通德與烏德,
赫爾布林迪與哈爾。
薩德與斯維帕爾,
以及桑恩蓋塔爾,
赫爾泰特與赫尼卡爾,
比爾艾格、巴爾艾格,
博爾維爾克、菲約爾尼爾,
格里姆與格里姆尼爾,
格拉普斯維德與菲約爾斯維德;
西德赫特、西德斯凱格,
西格弗德、赫尼庫德,
眾神之父、戰死者之父,
阿特里德與法爾瑪提爾;
自從我在人群中行走,
我便從未
只有一個名字。
在蓋爾羅德家中,
人們叫我格里姆尼爾,
在阿斯蒙德家中,叫我亞爾克,
而當我拖曳雪橇時,
便名叫基亞拉爾,
在集會上叫斯羅爾,
在戰場上叫維杜爾,
又叫奧斯基與奧米,
亞夫恩哈爾與比夫林迪,
在諸神之間叫貢德利爾與哈爾巴德。
我在瑟克密米爾家中,
名叫斯維杜爾與斯維德里爾,
我瞞過了那年老的巨人,
當時我已親手殺死
米德維特尼爾的
那位著名的兒子。
你醉了,蓋爾羅德,
你喝得太多了;
你已蒙受重大的損失,
因為你失去了我的援助、
所有英靈戰士,
以及奧丁的眷顧。
我對你說了許多,
你卻記得很少;
朋友們欺騙著你;
我看見
我朋友的劍躺在那裡,
通體染滿鮮血。
如今伊格將收下
這被劍刃殺死的亡者,
我知道你的一生已盡;
女神們滿懷敵意,
如今你能看見奧丁了,
若你還能,就走近我吧。
如今我名叫奧丁,
方才我名叫伊格,
更早以前名叫通德,
瓦克與斯基爾芬格,
瓦夫德與赫羅夫塔提爾,
在諸神之間叫高特與亞爾克,
奧夫尼爾與斯瓦夫尼爾,
我想,這些名字
全都源自我一人。
蓋爾羅德國王坐著,膝上橫放一把拔出一半的劍。他聽說來到這裡的是奧丁,便站起身,想把奧丁從火旁帶開。劍從他手中滑落,劍柄朝下。國王絆了一跤,向前栽倒,劍貫穿了他的身體,他便喪了命。奧丁隨即消失,此後阿格納爾在那裡做了很久的國王。
