Eg hev som vigde Mammons Træl for vesal Vinning selt mi Sjæl; for dette arme Stykkje Jord eg fraa meg Fred og Frelse svor. No finn eg aldri Heim og Hamn, Gud hjelpe meg i Jesu Namn! Den ut er dømd or Himmelrik' som her i Verdi gjorde Svik; han miste Ord, han miste Tru og kan kje millom Vener bu. No veglaus driv min brotne Stamn, Gud hjelpe meg i Jesu Namn! Eg gjekk som ærelause Svein og flutte denne Deildestein; eg braut mitt Ord, eg braut mi Tru og kan kje millom Vener bu. Eg finn kje Fred og Faderfamn, Gud hjelpe meg i Jesu Namn!

J'ai, comme un esclave consacré à Mammon, vendu mon âme pour un maigre profit ; pour ce misérable bout de terre j'ai fait un serment aux dépens de ma paix et de ma liberté. Maintenant je ne trouverai jamais ni maison ni havre, Dieu, aide-moi, au nom de Jésus ! Celui là est banni du royaume des cieux qui a commis une perfidie sur la terre ; il a manqué à sa parole, il a manqué de foi et ne peut vivre au milieu d'amis. Maintenant j'erre, mes racines brisées, Dieu, aide-moi, au nom de Jésus ! J'ai agi comme un paysan sans honneur et j'ai déplacé la borne ; j'ai manqué à ma parole, j'ai manqué à ma foi et je ne peux vivre au milieu d'amis. Je ne trouve ni la paix ni les bras de mon père, Dieu, aide-moi, au nom de Jésus !
