Can someone me translate this "the liege–kinsman worthy of higelac minded his speech of the evening, stood he up straight and stoutly did seize him. his fingers crackled; the giant was outward, the earl stepped farther."

This passage can be translated as it follows: Hygelac's relative thought of what he had said that evening. He stood up and strongly squeezed the ogre's claw, breaking his fingers. The giant pulled and the man did not give up.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that this scene relates the encounter between Beowulf (Higelac's nephew) and a giant demon called Grendel, while the former was in charge of protecting King Hrothgar's palace. Beowulf had promised to fight disarmed against Grendel, so he used only his strength to defeat him. He was eager to confront the beast, and, together with his men, laid in bed until the giant arrived (that is why he had to stand up).  

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
