Snorri-Edda

Old Norse, ed. Faulkes, p. 51,1-52,1

Surtr ferr sunnan
með sviga lævi.
Skínn af sverði
sól valtíva.
(52,1) Grjótbjǫrg gnata
en gífr rata,
troða halir Helveg
en himinn klofnar.

English, tr. Brodeur, 1916, p. 81,1

(81,1) Surtr fares from southward | with switch-eating flame;
On his sword shimmers | the sun of the war-gods;
The rocks are falling, | and fiends are reeling,
Heroes tread Hel-way, | heaven is cloven.

Norwegian, tr. Holtsmark, p. 12,1

Sure farer sørfra
med sviende ild,
det skinner av sverdet,
valguders sol;
fjell braker,
gygrer flakker,
menn tråkker helveg,
og himmelen kløvner.
