Complete text

ØRNULF.
Ikke kom jeg hid for at kives med kvinder! – Gunnar, hør nu mit sidste ord; er du villig til at bøde for kvinderanet?

ÖRNULF.
I came not hither to bandy words with women!--Gunnar, hear my last word: art willing to make atonement?

HJØRDIS
(til Gunnar).
Kom det ihu, som du har lovet!

HIÖRDIS
(to GUNNAR).
Think of thy vow!

GUNNAR
(til Ørnulf).
Du hører, jeg har gjort et løfte og det må jeg –

GUNNAR
(to ÖRNULF).
Thou hearest, I have sworn a vow, and that must I----

ØRNULF
(forbitret).
Nok, nok! Aldrig skal det siges mig på, at jeg gav bod for ærligt drab!

ÖRNULF
(irritated).
Enough, enough! Never shall it be said that I made atonement for slaying in fair fight.

HJØRDIS
(med kraft).
Så trodser vi dig og dine!

HIÖRDIS
(forcibly).
Then we bid defiance to thee and thine.

ØRNULF
(med stigende vrede).
Og hvem har her ret til at kræve bod for Jøkul? Hvor findes hans frænder? Ingen af dem er ilive! Hvo er hans lovlige eftermålsmand?

ÖRNULF
(in rising wrath).
And who has the right to crave atonement for Jokul? Where are his kinsmen? There is none alive! Where is his lawful avenger?

HJØRDIS.
Det er Gunnar på mine vegne!

HIÖRDIS.
That is Gunnar, on my behalf.

ØRNULF.
Gunnar! Ja, var du fæstet til ham med din fosterfaders samtykke, eller havde han bødet for ranet, så var han lovlig eftermålsmand, men –

ÖRNULF.
Gunnar! Ay, hadst thou been betrothed to him with thy foster-father’s good-will, or had he made atonement for carrying thee away, then were he thy father’s lawful avenger; but----

DAGNY
(angst og bønligt).
Fader, fader!

DAGNY
(apprehensive and imploring).
Father, father!

SIGURD
(hurtigt).
Tal ikke ud!

SIGURD
(quickly).
Do not speak it!
