1.) Ich hörte (glaubwürdig) berichten, daß zwei Krieger, Hildebrand und Hadubrand, (allein)
zwischen ihren beiden Heeren, aufeinanderstießen. Zwei Leute von gleichem Blut, Vater und
Sohn, rückten da ihre Rüstung zurecht.
5.) sie strafften ihre Panzerhemden und gürteten ihre Schwerter über die Eisenringe, die Männer,
als sie zu diesem Kampf ritten. Hildebrand, Heribrands Sohn, begann die Rede - er war der
Ältere, auch der Erfahrenere - mit wenigen Worten fragte er,
10.) von welchen Leuten im Volk der Vater des anderen sei, "oder (sag mir,) zu welchem
Geschlecht du zählst. Wenn du mir nur einen (Namen) nennst, weiß ich schon, wer die anderen
sind, die Angehörigen im Stammesverband. ich kenne das ganze Volk." - Hadubrand, Hildbrands
Sohn, antwortete:
15.) "Es haben mire unsere Leute gesagt, alte und erfahrene, die schon früher lebten, daß mein
Vater Hildebrand heiße. Mein Name is Hadubrand. Einst ist mein Vater nach Osten gezogen, auf
der Flucht vor Odoakars Haß, zusammen mit Theoderich und vielen seiner Krieger.
20.) Er hat in der Heimat, in seinem Haus hilflos und ohne Erbe seine junge Frau (und) ein
kleines Kind zurückgelassen. Er ist nach Osten fortgeritten. Danach sollte Dietrich den Verlust
meines Vaters noch sehr spuuren: er war so ohne jeden Freund.
25.) (Mein Vater aber,) Dietrichs treuester gefolgmann, hatte seinen Maßlosen Zorn auf Odoakar
geteilt. Immer ritt er dem Heer voran. Jeder Kampf war ihm so sehr willkommen. Die Tapfersten
kannten ihn. Ich glaube nicht, daß er noch am Leben ist."
Loose, poetic English translation:
I have heard tell,
that two chosen warriors, Hildebrand and Hadubrand,
met one another, between two armies.
Father and son, the champions examined their gear,
prepared their armor, and buckled their swords
over their chain mail, before riding out to battle.
Hildebrand, the older and more experienced man, spoke first,
asking, with few words who his father was
and from which family he came.
"Tell me the one, young man, and I'll know the other,
for I know all great people in this kingdom."
Hadubrand, the son of Hildebrand, replied:
"Old and wise people who lived long ago
told me that my father's name was Hildebrand.
My name is Hadubrand.
Long ago he road off into the East with Dietrich,
and his many warriors, fleeing Otacher's wrath.
He rode off into the East, leaving his wife at home
with a small child, deprived of his inheritance.
Dietrich, a man with but few friends,
came to rely upon my father.
His feud with Otacher grew more intense,
and my father became his best-loved warrior.
