Spell Five Stop Completely Translation

152. A fifth I know, | if I see from afar
An arrow fly 'gainst the folk;
It flies not so swift | that I stop it not,
If ever my eyes behold it.


- Poetic Edda, Havamal (H.A. Bellows translation)

----------

149. A fifth I know: when I see, by foes shot,
speeding a shaft through the host,
flies it never so strongly I still can stay it,
if I get but a glimpse of its flight.


- Poetic Edda, Havamal (Olive Bray translation)

----------

150. I know a fifth. If a foe shoots a shaft
into the host, it cannot fly
so fast that I cannot stop it,
if I catch sight of it.


- Poetic Edda, Havamal (James Allen Chisholm translation)

----------

150) That fifth I know, if from foemans's hand
I see a spear sped into throng,
never so fast it flies but its flight I can stay,
once my eye lights on it.


- Poetic Edda, Havamal (Lee Hollander translation)

----------

150. I know a fifth: in battle's fury
if someone flings a spear,
it speeds not so fast but that I can stop it --
I have only to see it.


- Poetic Edda, Havamal (Patricia Terry translation)

----------

152. For the fifth I know,
I see a shot from a hostile hand,
a shaft flying amid the host,
so swift it cannot fly
that I cannot arrest it,
if only I get sight of it.

- Poetic Edda, Havamal (Benjamin Thorpe translation)
