The Metamorphosis / Myndbreytingin

The light of the electric tram lay pale here and there on the ceiling and on the higher parts of the furniture

Ljós rafmagnssporvagnsins lá föl hér og ar í loftinu og á hærri hlutum húsgagnanna

but down at Gregor's level it was dark

en niri á hæ Gregors var myrkur

He slowly pushed himself towards the door to see what had happened there

Hann ÿtti sér hægt a dyrunum til a sjá hva hafi gerst ar

he was still clumsy with his feelers, which he only now learned to appreciate

hann var enn klaufalegur me reifingar, sem hann læri fyrst a meta

His left side seemed to have one long, unpleasantly tight scar

Vinstri hli hans virtist vera me eitt langt, óægilega röngt ör

and he had to literally limp on his two rows of legs

og hann var bókstaflega a haltra á tveimur fótaröunum sínum

Incidentally, one of the legs had been seriously injured during the morning's incidents

Tilviljun hafi annar fóturinn slasast alvarlega í atvikum morgunsins

it was almost a miracle that only one of his legs was injured

a var nánast kraftaverk a aeins annar fótur hans slasaist

and he dragged his leg lifelessly

og hann dró fótinn líflausan

Only when he reached the door did he realize what had actually lured him there

Fyrst egar hann kom a dyrunum áttai hann sig á ví hva hafi raunverulega tælt hann anga

it was the smell of something edible that had lured him there

a var lyktin af einhverju ætilegu sem hafi tælt hann anga
