Freyja from Ráða by Herknungr

English

It is time to speak
from the seat of the sage, Stanza 111

When she comes, the man will fear her, so powerful
When she fights, the man will fear her, so quick
When she kills, the man will fear her, as Ragnarök
When she wins, the man will fear her, as they lose

A head stuck on a pike no longer conspires

With a hide hat, a sword, she lept from the ship
to slay saxon man
The clouds will blacken,
so black, and so thick



Völuspá 29.

Selected her Herfather
rings and gold,
riches wisely,
that she wisdom tell.
Saw she far and wide
in homes all.

Old Norse

Mal er at þylia þvlar stólí a
vrþar brvnni at

Hvenaer hon kemr, verr hræzla sinn, svá ríkr
Hvenaer hon hreða, verr hræzla sinn, svá hraðr
Hvenaer hon hlaða, verr hræzla sinn, ok Ragnarök
Hvenaer hon vinna, verr hræzla sinn, ok þeir los


Danish

Et hoved fast på en gedde ikke længere konspirerer


Old Norse

Með húð hattr, ok sverð, hljóp hon fra skipinu
til fella saxlenzkr hann
Verða skýin svart, svá blakkr, ok svá þykkr


Völuspá 29.

Valði henni Herföðr
hringa ok men,
fekk spjöll spaklig
ok spá ganda,
sá hon vítt ok of vítt
of veröld hverja.
