| 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. | It was at the very beginning, it was Ymir’s time, there was no sand, no sea, no cooling waves, no earth, no sky, no grass, just Ginnungagap. |
| Ór Ymis holdi var jörð of sköpuð, en ór sveita sær, björg ór beinum, baðmr ór hári, en ór hausi himinn. En ór hans brám gerðu blíð regin Miðgarð manna sonum, en ór hans heila váru þau in harðmóðgu ský öll af sköpuð. | The earth was formed from Ymir’s flesh, and the sea from his blood, the rocks from his bones, the trees from his hair, and the sky from his skull. The happy gods formed Midgard for humans from Ymir’s eyelashes. They formed all the grim clouds from his brains. |
