Snorri-Edda

Old Norse, ed. Faulkes, p. 54,1

(169) ‘Vér vetr níu
várum leikur,
ǫflgar, alnar
fyrir jǫrð neðan.
Stóðu meyjar
at meginverkum,
fœrðum sjálfar
setberg ór stað.

English, tr. Brodeur, 1916, p. 164,1

’We nine winters
Were playmates together,
Mighty of stature,
’Neath the earth’s surface,
The maids had part
In mighty works:
Ourselves we moved
Mighty rocks from their place.

Norwegian, tr. Holtsmark, p. 144,1

I vintre ni
var vi to sammen,
sterke, alet opp
under jorden,
vi møyer stod
for store arbeid,
selv flyttet vi
fjell av sted.
