...Then goes Bqðvarr on his journey to Hleiðargarðs.
He comes to the king's residence.
Bqðvarr leads his horse immediately into a stable next to the king's best 
     horses and asks no-one about it; then he went in the hall and there 
     were a few men.
He sits down away from them, and when he has sat there a little while hears
     some rummaging about further out in the corner some place. 
Bqðvarr looks there and sees that man's hand come up out of big pile of bones,     
     which there was very black.
Bqðvarr goes there and asks who there was in the pile of bones.
Then to him was answered, and rather timidly, "Hqttr am I called, good fellow."
"Why are you," asks Bqðvarr, "or what are you doing?"
Hqttr answers, "I am making a shield for myself, good fellow."
Bqðvarr says, "Wretched are you in respect to shields!"

Bqðvarr grabs at him and pulls him up out of the bone-pile. 
Hqttr cried out at this loudly and said:
"Now you want to kill me!, Do not do this, so as I have now made myself protected,
	but you have now broken to pieces my shield, and had I now made
	her so high from outside of me, that she has protected me against
	all your blows, so no blows have landed on me for a long time,
	but not so was she all the same prepared as I intended she should be."
Bqðvarr said: "You will not get the shield made any longer."
Hqttr said, "Shall you now kill me, good fellow?"
Bqðvarr told him not to behave loudly, took him up then and carried him out
	from the hall and to a certain lake which there was in proximity,
	and gave little to this attention.
He washed him thoroughly all over.
Then went Bqðvarr to that place which he had previously taken,
	and places after him Hqtt and sets him there next to him.
But he is so frightened that he trembles on his leg and joint,(knee)
	but nevertheless thinks that he understands that this man wants to
	help him.
After that evening draws on and the men drift towards the hall and Hrolf's 
	warriors that Hqttr was placed on the bench up and seems to them that
	man have made himself sufficiently bold, who this has undertaken.
A bad look has Hqttr, when he sees his acquaintances, because he has alone bad
	from them experienced; he wants to live very much and go back into
	his bone-pile, but Bqðvarr holds him, so that he gets not away,
	because he felt not equally exposed before their blows, if he
	were able there to come.
Courtiers maintain now the same custom, and throw at first small bones over
	across the floor to Bqðvarr and Hattar. 
Bqðvarr acts as though he sees this not. Hqttr is so afraid that he takes
	not food nor drink, and seems to him at every moment as though he
	will be hit.
And now speaks Hqttr to Bqðvars:
"Good fellow, now comes toward us big knuckle-bone, and will this intend to
	us to (do) harm."
Bqðvarr told him to desist from speaking (to be quiet). He set to hold lofann
	and take so to knuckle-bone and had the legbone with it. Bqðvarr sent
	after knuckle-bone and set on that man at once to throw, and by rights 
	straight in his face with such hard force that he was killed (be killed).
Someone is afflicted then great otta fear king's men (courtiers).
Comes now this to King Hrolf and his men up in the hideout(castle/fortress),
	that man who is fearsome is coming to (arrived in) the hall and has
	killed one of his henchmen, and will they get to kill this man. The king 
	asks whether the henchman had been innocently struck.
"it was close to that(practically)" they said.(said them)
From that comes King Hrolf's the whole truth about this. King Hrolf said 
	that by no means was it urgently unecessary to kill this man.
Have taken up a bad habit, throwing bones at innocent men. on me it is dishonor,
	and on you is it shame, to bring such a thing. Have I repeatedly root 	
	(emphasized)all over this before, and (has no one here given me any 	
	attention)have you here that no one attention give, and think I that this 	man will not be of very small importance or power, which you have now 	
	attacked; and summon him to me, so that I may know who he is. 
Bqðvarr went before the king and declared himself pleasantly. 
	The king asked him his name (for his name).
"Hott's friend called am I by your henchmen(retainers), but Bqðvarr am I named."
The King said, "what kind of compensation will you offer me for my retainer(henchman)?"
Bqðvarr answers,"to this happened him, as he obtained."
The King said, "Will you be my man and occupy his seat?"
Bqðvarr answers, "not refuse to be your man(person), and will not be
	part from each other so buit, with Hqttr, and both placed closer to you, 
	either and(but)these it has sit(than this man), otherwise we both go from 	here."
The king said, "I see no honor in him, but no withholding and value do I place on
	him." 
Bqðvarr went now to this space which pleased him, but not willing him that 
	occupied his space have before. He pulled up a certain place three men,
	and then set he and Hqttr there down and further out(closer to he king) 
	in the hall than they had been assigned. Somewhat thought the people 
	hard to deal with in relation to Bqðvarr, and they were greatly 
	worried by him.
And then it came close to Yule(yuletime), the men in that place became 
	uneasy/gloomy. Bqðvarr asked Hqtt what this meant; he said to him that 
	a beast have come there two winters in succession, large and horrible.
And it has wings on its back and fly (fljuga)generally. Two autumns it has now 
	here, to this place visited and gone(done) great damage. On it pierce 
	not weapons(weapons do not pierce it), and the king's champions come 
	not here(the king's champions do not come here/return here/come back),
	those which are greatest of all."
Bqðvarr said, "This hall is not so well manned that I think(as I thought), if 
	one wild beast(animal) shall here lay waste realm and livestock 
	the king's."
Hqttr said, "That it no wild beast(animal), rather(instead) it that greatest 
	monster."
Now comes Yule-eve. Then speaks the king:
Now I desire that that all men be calm and quiet tonight, and I forbid any of 
	my men to go in any danger in connection with the animal, and livestock 
	will go after because I will not lose my men.
They all promised about this, to do after the king had asked.
Bqðvarr stole away in the night; he let Hottr go with him, and he went that 
	unwillingly, and declared himself steered to death. Bqðvarr said better
	will (it)turn out. They left away from the hall, and had to be forced 
	by Bqðvarr carried Hottr, so frightened was he.
Now see that animal, and it next shouted Hqttr as loud as him can and express 
	animal would swallow him. Bqðvarr asked the bitch these to be silent 
	and threw him down on the moss, and there, in that place lay him and 
	not all together unafraid, and not thorir him either to approach. Now 
	goes Bqðvarr to meet the animal; that happens to him, in sword is 
	hard in his scabbard, he is wanting to move it. Bqðvarr urged now his 
	hard(stuck) sword and there is movement in the scabbard, and now he 
	managed to draw a sword from out of the scabbard, and bone immediately 
	underneath shoulder animal(beast) and so hard at immediately it stuck in
	its heart, and fell the animal(beast)to the ground dead down. After that 
	he goes(will) to where Hqttr lays. Bqðvarr picks up and strikes his to 	
	where animal(beast) lays down. Hqttr shakes violently. Bqðvarr says:
"Now you shall drink (the)blood of the animal(beast)." 
He is for a long time reluctant, but even so thorir(did?) he indeed nothing else.
	Bqðvarr let(forced) him drink two large mouthfuls; he made him and eat a 
	bit of animal's heart. After that took Bqðvarr to his and not expect 
	there wrestled with each other for a long time. Bqðvarr said:
"Exceedingly are now strong have become, and not expect that I you be afraid of
	from now on and not you."
"Well am then become, Hqttr friend," says Bqðvarr. "Let us now go up to it and
	raise up the animal(beast) so um(meaningless adverbial particle) that 
	men think that it must be quick(alive).  
They did now so. After that come them home and keep quiet, and think not any men 
	what they have to be busy with.
The King asks in the morning what they knew to the animal(beast), whether it has
	in any way to that place visited in the night. To him was said that
	livestock all was safe in pen(fold) and unhurt.  The king made his men
	find out whether any could be seen signs of that had home come. Watchmen
	did so and came quickly after and said to the king that the beast was
	going there and somewhat at great speed that castle. The king made his
	henchmen(retainers) be now valiant and be of use now which to the extent
	that he has mind to, and be of monster this; and so was done, as the king
	made, in their preparations oneself to this. The king looked at the
	beast(animal) and said then:
"No where see I movement in the beast(animal), but who will now take reward for
	and approaching to meet it?"
Bqðvarr said, "It is exceptionally bold man cure for curiousity. Hqttr friend,
	clear yourself of slander in which men give as one's opinion(say about
	you), as though not any valour or valour will there be. Farþu now and 
	kill the beast. You can  see that no one else is very eager."
"Yes," said Hqttr, "I shall undertake to(do) this."
The king said, "I did not know where from this boldness is in you coming, Hqttr,
	and large begin about you changed in short period of time."
Hqttr said, "Give to me the sword 'Goldenhilted', that you hold on to, and I 
	shall cause to fall the beast(animal)or be killed."
King Hrolf said, "That sword is not to be carried except by the man both and 
	noble-minded manly man and valiant.
Hottr said, "Think so to, king, that I am of that nature."
The King said, "What can one know, but that other things have changed and have
	you but so it seems? For very few men feel they recognise you, that you 
	are the same man. Now take this sword with(you) and use it better than 
	anyone, if that is achieved to earn it."
Then goes Hottr to the animal(beast) very boldly and second blow(hit it again) to 
	this, then he comes to striking distance. The animal(beast) fell down 
	dead. Bqðvarr said: "See now, lord, what he has achieved."
The king says, "To be sure he has greatly changed, and has not Hottr one beast 
	killed; rather have you that(this) done."
Bqðvarr says, "It could be that so see."
The king says, "I know, that you came here, that few men your equal be, but even 
	so I think deed most likely to bring renown, that you have made here 
	another champion here where Hottr is(out of Hottr), and unpromising 
	thought to great success. Now will I him name(call) Hottr any longer and 
	shall he (be)called "Hilted" up from this; shall now be called after 
	sword 'Goldenhilted'."
And ends here this story of Bqðvarr and his brothers.
