| | It should be "serpent" in the singular, and maybe "worm" is better, since in Nordic mythology there is a worm that surrounds the whole world, but I am not an expert on this.
"Longspyd" might also be in the plural, which is probably the intention here. "for liv å ta" means "for life to take", but not one life.
I would translate "rain of fiery arrows", since "ildpiler" is in the plural and there is no def. article.
It should be "the words of the people" |

| piasAnzahl der Beiträge: 8113 | Thank you jairhaas I did my best... but failed. About the "serpent", look here. I think that's a better choice than "worm". Lilian, if it's OK. I would like to correct according to jairhaas suggestions and share the points with him. Sorry for all faults!! |

| piasAnzahl der Beiträge: 8113 | Ps. I've thought some and I don't want to change EVERYTHING jairhaas told, but he's right about the serpent (s.), arrows (Pl.)... I missed that. But "Longspyd" is not in plural. About the last suggestion, I think "words of the people" is correct. |

| | The definite article is definitely implicit in "folkets ord", and should be translated "the word/s of the people" |

| | Yes, but I think learned should be changed for yearned. And smell of ore changed to Ore strengthend swords. |

| piasAnzahl der Beiträge: 8113 | jairhaas, you are right! Def. article is implicit in "folkets ord", but I thought it was ok. to write both way (with or without "the" )
ss230467, it's "leaned" (not leaRned)... I don't understand how "luta" could mean "yearned"? About your last suggestion, Thanks a lot, I've misunderstood that, but I think it must be: "Strengthened ore swords".
Lilian, if you like to reject my translation... please do! Maybe it's better to let a native Norwegian do this translation... I guess I was too brave. |

| | Hege, could you check this translation, please?
Is there still anything to correct? CC: Hege |
