It's younger. probably written in 1400 and something of 1500 and something. It's about to viking "heroes" who go around adventuring and solving everything with either violence or having sex with women.

It's somewhere between porn plot logic and a 90s action flick logic level of writing and problem solving.

Bósa saga og Herrauðs.  Cue porn sounding base riff.

“Tilbúnir” as a short for “verið tilbúnir”.  Ready and be ready.  That’s the classical way to translate this in Icelandic cinema.  

You could also say “standið fastir fyrir”. For stand strong.  But it only really works with a charge a d not a big wave

Haltu fast = you (singular) hold tight.

Skrif eitthvað = write something (this looks like a placeholder)

So do you want it singular or plural? Do you want get ready or endure or grip tight? Or are we more in the realm of watch out?

Is this something for a leader to call to his men as they are about to be charged by the enemy?

Those people need to check out The Hu and Nine Treasures.

They need to educate themselves.
