        here or here (mostly the differences boils down to spellings and transliterations). And that translation you have there thal is probably the best that can be done into modern day English.
        If I were to do this verbatim it would go something like

        Hail Day.
        Hail Day's sons
        Hail Night and Night's daughter.
        Let your eyes fall upon us
        with kindness
        and grant victory to those who sit here

        Hail Asir
        Hail Asynjir
        Hail fertile (alt. verdant, lush or similar) field.
        Word and wit
        give to us two
        and healing hands as long as we live.

        (Some liberty has been taken so as not to turn the text into total gibberish.)
        So at least for the two verses you give it's fairly accurate, no matter how it sounds.
