There is absolutely no way to translate the most famous stanza from #Hávamál (Words of Óðinn) to English.

The brevity of the lines is like magic.

Deyr fé, [Dies sheep]
deyja frændur, [dies kin]
deyr sjálfur ið sama. [die ourselves as well.]
En orðstír [But reputation]
deyr aldregi [dies never]
hveim er sér góðan getur. [of them who a good one earns.]
