Old Norse	English
Hljóðs bið ek allar helgar kindir, Meiri ok minni mǫgu Heimdallar; Viltu, at ek, Valfǫðr, vel fyrtelja Forn spjǫll fíra, þau er fremst um man.	For silence I ask all holy kinds, Greater and smaller sons of Heimdall; Wilt thou, that I, Valfather, well recount Old tales of men, those I best remember.
Ek man jǫtna ár um borna, Þá er forðum mik fœdda hǫfðu; Níu man ek heima, níu íviði, Mjǫtvið mæran fyr mold neðan.	I remember jotnar early born, Those who of old reared me have; Nine worlds I remember, nine giantesses, Measure-tree bright beneath the mold.
Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði, Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir, Jǫrð fannsk æva né upphiminn, Gap var ginnunga, enn gras hvergi.	In early ages, when Ymir lived, There was no sand nor sea nor cold waves, Earth was found not nor heavens, Gap was of void, yet grass nowhere.
Áðr Bors synir bjǫðum um ypðu, Þeir er Miðgarð mæran skópu; Sól skein sunnan á salar steina, Þá var grund gróin grœnum lauki.	Until sons of Bor lifted the land, Those who Midgard mighty shaped; Sun shone from the south on temple stones, Then grew the plains with green leek.
Sól varp sunnan, sinni mána, Hendi inni hœgri um himinjǫður; Sól þat né vissi hvar hon sali átti, Máni þat né vissi hvat hann megins átti, Stjǫrnur þat né vissu hvar þær staði áttu.	Sun cast from the south, moon's companion, Its right hand over the heaven's rim; Sun knew not where its temples were, Moon knew not what its powers were, Stars knew not where their places were.
Þá gengu regin ǫll á rǫkstóla, Ginnheilǫg goð, ok um þat gættusk; Nátt ok niðjum nǫfn um gáfu, Morgin hétu ok miðjan dag, Undorn ok aptan, árum at telja.	Then went reigns all on the seats of doom, Most holy gods, and held council; Night and moon's phases names they gave, Morning hight they and midday, Undern and evening, years to count.

Tefldu í túni, teitir váru, Var þeim vettugis vant ór gulli; Unz þrjár kvámu þursa meyjar Ámátkar mjǫk ór Jǫtunheimum.	Playing there, fain they were, Naught to them was the lack of gold; Until three came thurse maidens Terrible greatly from Jotunheim.
Þá gengu regin ǫll á rǫkstóla, Ginnheilǫg goð, ok um þat gættusk: Hverr skyldi dverga dróttin um skepja Ór Brimis blóði ok ór Bláins leggjum.	Then went reigns all on the seats of doom, Most holy gods, and held council: Who shall dwarfs' lord shape From Brimir's blood and from Blain's limbs.
Þar var Mótsognir mestr um orðinn Dverga allra, enn Durinn annarr; Þeir mannlíkǫn mǫrg um gǫrðu Dvergar í jǫrðu, sem Durinn sagði.	There was Modsognir, greatest of the first Dwarfs all, save Durin only; They man-like many made Dwarfs on earth, as Durin said.
