Лингвофорум

Помогите, пожалуйста, перевести фразу с древнеанглийского на русский язык (можно дословно. можно литературный перевод, а лучше и то, и то :) )

He letten bulden þe hallen swiðe muchele mid alle.

he hehte ilchene riche mon; þat he dælde his æhte atwam.

Это ж, вроде, среднеанглийский.

He letten bulden þe hallen. swiðe muchele mid alle.
he hehte ilchene riche mon; þat he dælde his æhte atwam.
& nome þa hæluen-dale; and hæh bold him makede.

Не caused the halls to be built, most great [well] withall;
he ordered each rich man, that he should divide his possessions in two,
and take a half-part and good dwelling make to him.

Спасибо,тоже помогли!Еще один вопрос по этому тексту,  Не подскажете на каком диалекте написан этот памятник? Достаточно общей характеристики. Заранее благодарю

Layamon's Brut is one of the first major texts written in a Middle English dialect. From the scarce information that the author of the Brut supplies we know that he was a priest at Areley by the bank of the River Severn close to Redstone, which would indicate a south-west Midland dialect.
