Voluspá (Skaldic Version)

Hljóðs bið ek allar helgar kindir
Meiri ok minni mögu Heimdallar
Viltu, at ek, Valföðr! vel framtelja
Forn spjöll fíra, þau er fremst um man

Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði
Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir
Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn
Gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi
Sól tér sortna, sígr fold í mar
Hverfa af himni heiðar stjörnur
Geisar eimi ok aldrnari
Leikr hár hiti við himin sjalfan

Bræðr munu berjask ok at bönum verðask
Munu systrungar sifjum spilla
Skelfr Yggdrasils askr standandi
Ymr it aldna tré, en jötunn losnar

Geyr nú Garmr mjök fyr Gnipahelli
Festr mun slitna en freki renna
Fjölð veit ek fræða, fram sé ek lengra
Um ragna rök römm sigtíva

Sér hon upp koma öðru sinni
Jörð ór ægi iðjagræna
Falla fossar, flýgr örn yfir
Sá er á fjalli fiska veiðir

Sal sér hon standa sólu fekra
Gulli þakðan á Gimléi
Þar skulu dyggvar dróttir byggja
Ok um aldrdaga ynðis njóta

Voluspá (Skaldic Version)

Hearken to me, all you holy kindred,
Greater and lesser, children of Heimdallr.
Wouldst thou that I, Allfather, should rightly recount
The ancient chronicles of men, that are foremost in memory?

Of yore there was an age when Ymir lived,
There was neither sand nor sea nor cool waves,
Earth was not found, nor heaven above,
There was a gaping void, but no grass anywhere
The sun turned black, the earth sank into the sea,
The bright stars vanished from the sky,
Steam and poison surged forth,
Hot flames played against the very heavens.

Brothers will fight and deal each other death,
Kinsmen will break the bonds of kinship.
Yggdrasil ash trembles in terror,
The ancient tree groans, and the jötnar break loose.

Garm howls fiercely before the Gnipahellir cave,
Fetters will snap, and the wolf will run free,
Many things I know, and I see still further,
The powerful fates of the gods, the doom of the gods.

I see the earth rise again,
Green and new, from the sea,
Waterfalls cascade, an eagle soars overhead,
Catching fish on the mountain.

I see a hall standing, fairer than the sun,
Covered in gold, on Gimlé,
There will righteous people dwell
And enjoy eternal bliss.
