《辛德拉之歌》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."

「醒來吧，少女中的少女，
醒來吧，我的朋友，
辛德拉姊妹，
住在洞穴裡的你；
如今暮色深沉，
我倆該策騎前往
英靈殿，
前往神聖的祠所。

讓我們祈求眾軍之父
心中眷顧我們，
他賜下報酬，分贈
黃金給隨從；
他曾賜赫爾莫德
頭盔與鎖甲，
又讓西格蒙德
領受一柄寶劍。

他賜一些人勝利，
賜另一些人財富，
賜許多人辯才，
賜世人智慧；
他賜勇士順風，
賜詩人詩藝，
他賜男子氣概
給許多豪傑。

她將向索爾獻祭，
她將如此祈求，
願他始終待你
一片赤誠；
儘管他向來少有如此
對待巨人的女子。

現在把你的一匹狼
從廄裡牽出，
讓牠奔跑，
伴著我的公野豬。」
辛德拉說：
「你的公野豬走得太慢，
踏在眾神的道路上，
我不願讓我的好坐騎
負擔過重。

你真狡詐，芙蕾雅，
竟來試探我，
你把目光
這樣投向我們，
而你帶著你的情郎
踏上亡者之路，
年輕的奧塔爾，
因斯坦的兒子。」
芙蕾雅說：

「你糊塗了，辛德拉，
我想你是在做夢，
竟說我的情郎
在亡者之路上，
那裡閃耀的是公野豬
古林布爾斯提，
希爾迪斯維尼，
是巧手的工匠為我打造，
兩名矮人，
達因與納比。

讓我倆一同下鞍，
坐下來，
談論王侯的
家世，
那些男子，
都是眾神的後裔。

他們以瓦爾人的金屬
立下賭約，
年輕的奧塔爾
與安甘提爾；
我們理當相助，
讓這年輕的豪傑
得以承受父祖遺產，
繼承他的親族。

他為我築起祭壇，
用石塊堆砌，
——如今那些石頭
已化為玻璃；——
他以新鮮的
牛血將它染紅；
奧塔爾始終信奉
阿薩諸女神。

現在請數說
古老的先人，
追溯世人的
家系：
誰出自斯基約爾德家族，
誰出自斯基爾夫家族，
誰出自奧德林家族，
誰出自伊爾夫家族，
誰生於自由民之家，
誰生於統帥之家，
是米德加爾特境內
最出眾的人？」
辛德拉說：

「你，奧塔爾，
是因斯坦所生，
而因斯坦是
老阿爾夫所生，
阿爾夫是烏爾夫之子，
烏爾夫是賽法里之子，
而賽法里是
紅斯萬之子。

你父親的母親
以頸鍊為貴飾，
我想她的名字
是女祭司赫雷迪絲；
弗羅迪是她的父親，
弗里翁德是她的母親；
那整個家族都被視為
居於人上。

從前奧迪
是世間最強的人，
更早的哈夫丹
是斯基約爾德家族之首；
那些傑出者所打的
會戰聲名遠播，
他的功業彷彿傳遍
天穹四極。

他與埃蒙德結盟而壯大，
那人是世間最尊貴者，
他又以冰冷的劍刃
殺死西格特里格，
娶了阿爾姆薇格，
女子中最尊貴者，
兩人生養了
十八個兒子。

斯基約爾德家族由此而出，
斯基爾夫家族由此而出，
奧德林家族由此而出，
英格林王朝由此而出，
自由民的世系由此而出，
統帥的世系由此而出，
都是米德加爾特境內
最出眾的人；
這全是你的親族，
愚昧的奧塔爾。

希爾迪貢恩
是她的母親，
是斯薇法
與一位海王的孩子；
這全是你的親族，
愚昧的奧塔爾。
你須知曉這些。
還想再聽下去嗎？

達格娶了索拉，
勇士們的母親，
那家族中生出了
最傑出的戰士：
弗拉德馬爾與吉爾德，
以及兩位弗雷基，
阿姆與約蘇爾馬爾，
還有老阿爾夫。
你須知曉這些。
還想再聽下去嗎？

他們的朋友名叫凱提爾，
是克呂普的繼承人，
他是你母親的
外祖父；
那裡的弗羅迪
比卡里更早，
而阿爾夫
生得更早。

接著是南娜，
諾克維的女兒，
她的兒子
是你父親的姻親；
這姻緣已很古老，
我再往下數說；
我認得他們兩人，
布羅德與赫爾維；
這全是你的親族，
愚昧的奧塔爾。

伊索爾夫與阿索爾夫，
是奧爾莫德的兒子，
母親是斯庫爾希爾德，
斯凱基爾的女兒；
你該把他們列入
眾多豪傑之中；
這全是你的親族，
愚昧的奧塔爾。

壁壘貢納爾，
犁刃格里姆，
鐵盾索里爾，
張口的烏爾夫。
23. ［赫爾瓦德、希約爾瓦德，
赫拉尼、安甘提爾］，
布伊與布拉米，
巴里與雷夫尼爾，
廷德與提爾鋒，
以及兩位哈丁；
這全是你的親族，
愚昧的奧塔爾。
24. 在東方的博爾姆，
出生了
阿恩格里姆
與埃芙拉的兒子們，
狂戰士的喧囂，
種種的災禍，
遍及陸地與海洋，
猶如烈火席捲；
這全是你的親族，
愚昧的奧塔爾。

我認得他們兩人，
布羅德與赫爾維；
他們曾是
老赫羅爾夫的侍從。
他們全都出自
耶爾蒙雷克，
他是西格爾德的姻親，
——聽我述說，——
那西格爾德對敵軍凶猛，
曾殺死法夫納。

那位王侯
出自沃爾松，
而希約爾迪絲
出自赫勞東，
菲利米則
出自奧德林家族；
這全是你的親族，
愚昧的奧塔爾。

貢納爾與霍格尼，
吉烏基的繼承人，
古德倫也是，
她是他們的姊妹；
古托姆並非
吉烏基的後裔，
卻仍是
他們兩人的兄弟；
這全是你的親族，
愚昧的奧塔爾。

戰齒哈拉爾德
是赫雷雷克
擲環者所生，
他是奧德的兒子，
深謀的奧德
是伊瓦爾的女兒，
而拉德巴德
是蘭德韋爾的父親；
他們這些男子
蒙受眾神祝福；
這全是你的親族，
愚昧的奧塔爾。」
—— —— ——
芙蕾雅說：

「把記憶之酒
端給我的客人，
讓他能把一切
逐字記牢，
將這番話
留到第三天清晨，
待他與安甘提爾
追溯各自的家系。」
辛德拉說：

「你轉身離開這裡吧，
我想睡了，
你從我這裡得不到多少
稱心的好處；
你奔走啊，奧德的情人，
在夜裡四處遊蕩，
就像海德倫
在公山羊群中奔逐。

你奔向奧德，
永遠渴求不休，
還有更多人鑽進
你的裙子底下；
你奔走啊，奧德的情人，
在夜裡四處遊蕩，
就像海德倫
在公山羊群中奔逐。」
芙蕾雅說：

「我要燃起火焰，
圍住這女巨人，
讓你無法
離開這裡。」
辛德拉說：

我看見烈火燃燒，
大地冒起火焰，
多數生靈
都將喪命；
你把啤酒
遞到奧塔爾手裡吧，
摻進大量毒液，
讓他遭受厄運。」
芙蕾雅說：

「你的咒語
將毫無效力，
縱使你，巨人的女子，
揚言降下災禍；
他將飲下
珍貴的佳釀；
我祈求所有神明
庇佑奧塔爾。」

阿薩神族
數來共有十一位，
當巴德爾倒在
死亡的土丘旁；
瓦利自認
應為此復仇，
便殺死了
親手弒兄的仇人。

巴德爾的父親
是波爾的繼承人，
弗雷娶了葛德，
她是吉密爾的女兒，
出自巨人一族，
母親是奧爾波達；
而夏基
也是他們的親族，
是個愛好華飾的巨人，
絲卡蒂是他的女兒。

我們告訴你許多，
還記得更多；
我提醒你知曉這些。
還想再聽下去嗎？

哈基是赫韋德娜
最出眾的兒子，
而赫韋德娜的
父親是希約爾瓦德；
海德與赫羅斯喬夫
是赫里姆尼爾的後裔。

所有女先知
都出自維多爾夫，
所有男巫
都出自維爾梅德，
施行賽德巫術者
都出自斯瓦爾特赫夫迪，
所有巨人
都出自尤彌爾。

我們告訴你許多，
還記得更多；
我提醒你知曉這些。
還想再聽下去嗎？

有一位誕生於
遠古之初，
力量無比強大，
出自神明一族；
生下這位
以矛為榮的男子的，
是九位巨人少女，
在大地邊緣。

賈爾普生了他，
格雷普生了他，
埃斯特拉生了他，
還有埃爾吉亞法，
烏爾芙倫生了他，
還有安格雅，
伊姆德與阿特拉，
以及雅恩薩克莎。

他以這些
滋長力量：大地的威力，
冰冷的海水，
以及祭豬的鮮血。

我們告訴你許多，
還記得更多；
我提醒你知曉這些。
還想再聽下去嗎？

洛基與安格爾波達
生下了狼，
又與斯瓦迪爾法利
生下斯雷普尼爾；
有一個妖物
被視為最凶惡，
那是比雷斯特的
兄弟所生。

洛基吃了一顆心，
在椴木火上烤過，
他找到那女人的心石，
已經燒焦一半；
洛夫特因那惡女
而有了身孕；
世上每一個妖魔
都由此而生。

海水在風暴中直衝
蒼穹本身，
漫過陸地，
而天空崩裂；
大雪由此而來，
還有猛烈的狂風；
那時已經注定，
眾神將走向終結。

有一位誕生，
比所有人更偉大，
他以大地的威力
滋長力量；
人們說那位君王
最為宏毅，
與世間所有居所
皆有親緣相繫。

隨後又來一位，
威能更加強大，
但我不敢
說出他的名字；
如今鮮少有人
能看得更遠，
越過奧丁
與狼相遇之時。
