Translations of the Old English sentences from the plague victims

[Moshii]

In September 2017 I made a post in the Compulsion forums, about translations I looked up of the old English that the plague victims talk in. They keep saying things that we don't really understand (because it's Old English). They're quoting lines from an old poem called Beowulf[en.wikipedia.org].
Here are some translations I looked up last year. I'm not sure if there are any new sentences in the game right now, but I just wanted to share these here already. If there are any new sentences, feel free to add them in a comment I suppose.

se mánscada
evil attacker

godes yrre bær
bearing God's anger

faégne flaéschoman
the doomed cloak of flesh

seonowe onsprungon
sinows sprang asunder

burston bánlocan
bone-locks burst

þegnsorge dréah
anguish of thane-loss oppressed him (not sure of this one)

aldres orwéna
without hope of life

saédéor monig
many sea-beasts

wraéc micel
great misery

módes brecða
a breaking of his spirit

hafelan multon
heads melted

bengeato burston
the wound-gates burst open

hie wyrd forswéop
they have been swept aside by Fate

deorc déaþscua
the dark death-shade

hé æt wige gecrang (,) ealdres scyldig
he fell in the fight, having forfeited his life

þone dolsceaðan
the rash ravager's

wiht unhaélo
that damned creature

féond on hellewaes
"féond on helle" = a fiend in hell, but the -waes part doesn't really belong here because that's part of the next sentence in Beowulf

ðaér ábídan sceal (,) maga máne fáh (,) miclan dómes
there he must await, the creature stained with crimes, the great judgement

nó þý leng leofað (,) láðgetéona
not the longer does he live, the hateful spoiler


That's about it. :)

Very good job! I always wondered what they meant :)

Did we ever get a reason to what the plague is caused by? I know in a progress report they mentioned the London smog but never developed further.

I just read a note in-game about that. According to a reporter, it is suspected that the plague came from toxic waste dumped in water, or was maybe even carried by the fog. The outbreaks seemed to be correlate to the wind direction, it was possibly coming from the Joy factory.

Oh thanks for that!

I believe there were a few missing phrases. Such as
þá hé héan gewát déaþwíc séön, and nú séo hand ligeð sé þe éow wélhwylcra wilna dohte. I am interested in linguistics, and I want to make a YouTube video about this topic. I would like to ask permission to use these translations in the video. I would cite this source, don't worry. If not, that's fine, and I'm happy that I at least know what these people are shouting at me!

Its basically in clear text what happend when you go to the factory. (notes and dialogs)
They Dumped toxic waste in the water, and the toxic fog was one of the side effects.

The fog i mean.

Hi, sorry for the late reply but yeah sure feel free to use this in a YouTube video. Would appreciate it if you'd credit my name somewhere. :)
