Voluspd

Hearken to me
holy birth,
great low
Heimdall's children!
One you want
me to tell
about the past of all who,
the ancient, that I remember.
2.
I remember the giants,
born to a century,
I gave birth to them
in the early years;
I remember nine worlds
and nine roots
and the tree limit,
not yet germinated.

3.
In early times,
when Ymir lived,
It was not in the world
no sand, no sea,
the land has not yet been
and the sky,
gaping abyss,
the grass does not grow.

4
Until the sons of Bor,
Midgard created the
fabulous,
land is not raised,
from the south sun
the rocks shone,
grew up on the ground
green grass.

5
Sun, each month,
right hand
to one end of heaven
It extends from the south;
the sun does not know,
where his house,
Star did not know,
where they shine,
month did not know
the power of their own.

6.
Then the gods sat
on the throne of power
and consult
become sacred,
night call
and the offspring of the night -
evening, morning,
and the middle of the day -
the nickname given,
to calculate the time.

7.
met aces
Idavoll on the field,
steel temples
high build,
forces did not spare,
forged treasures
created mites,
Artillery prepared.

eight
Meadow, fun,
in Tavlya played,
all they had
Only gold -
until you came
three giantess,
mighty maidens
of Jötunheim.

9
Then the gods sat
on the throne of power
and consulted
become holy:
who should tribe
dwarfs do
blood Brimir
And the bones of Blaina.

10
Motsognir senior
from the tribe of dwarfs
named then was,
Durin and - second;

Clay blinded
human similarities,
like Durin ordered.

eleven

14
Still need dwarfs
Dvalin troops
the human race
Glossary called up;
they appeared
from the land of stone,
We came through the swamp
on the sand.

15
It was Draupnir
and Dolgtrasir with him,

17.
And three of them came
of this kind
aces good
and mighty in the sea,
powerless saw
on the shore
Ask and Embla,
fate did not have.

eighteen
They do not breathe,
there was no spirit in them,
blush on their faces,
heat and voices;
I gave one breath,
and hœnir - spirit,
and Lodur - heat
and people blush.

nineteen
Ash I know
named Yggdrasil,
tree, bathed
drops of muddy;
dew with him
They descend to the valleys;
over the source of Urd
He is green forever.

twenty
The wise virgins
there arose
Three of the key
under the tree of the high;
Urd's first name,
second Verdandi -
cut runes -
Skuld third name;
fate was tried,
We choose life
children people
lots are prepared.

21.
She remembers war
the world's first:
Gullveig died
pierced with spears,
burning the flame
in Odin's hall,
three burned her
three births,
and yet it
hitherto lived.

22.
Heid called her,
in the homes of encountering -
things witch -
He creates volshbu
magical wand;
minds obey
her sorcery
angry at their wives happy.
