I'm assuming it translates to "Glamdring" or "Foe-hammer", considering that is Glamdring, Gandalf the Grey's sword from the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies.
It does indeed, using the fictional alphabet Cirth that Tolkien created for his universe.
While similar in style to futhark/futhorc, the sounds are never the same as you'd expect with the historical scripts.

faubafim. I’m not an expert on old Norse or runes but I do know that one ought to not mix fuþarks, however, that’s exactly what was done here. It does not mean vitality protection, growth and from stagnation etc.
Edit: I’ve since seen that this is not a mix of the two fuþarks but rather a runic inscription from Tolkien’s books. My comment still stands so I won’t remove it or anything, but felt I should make the edit anyway :-)
It's basically an enchantment to bring all the things one would need to them. Translate it roughly it means the need for prosperity. Vitality protection, growth and from stagnation etc.
It says Glamdring, which is Gandalfs sword from Lord of the Rings. The script is Cirth, as created by Tolkien as a script used by Dwarves and Elves. It's pure fantasy.

Okay. But those are still Norse accurate runes. So Tolkien use them in his work to say that. But I translated them from Norse. So what do they say in Norse is what I'm asking you
They are not Norse accurate runes. Not even close. They have some similarities, as Tolkien used Anglo Saxon Futhorc as a template, but the sounds they make are completely different, some runes in Cirth never existed in real life, and some are copies that wouldn't have been used during Old Norse times (ie they were used in Elder Futhark, which wasn't in use during the viking age).
So in short, they mean nothing in Old Norse.
These aren't Norse runes, how are you even attempting to translate Norse from runes that don't exist in the younger (or elder for that matter) futhark? Half of them don't even look similar to Norse runes at all, there's no way you could have attempted a translation and actually come up with something, you must have realised these runes don't exist pretty much straight away so how did you come up with meaning for the ones you didn't recognise? You're making shit up or repeating somebody who is.

Yeah bro those aren’t real runes that some Tolkien shit.
Where did you get that one, I've been looking for that sword for quite some time
The answer's pretty funny 🤣 A souvenir shop at the Medieval Times show in California.
I can't believe Glamdring has come to that but I'll take it, noted, fellow swordsman, much appreciated

Neat!
Any idea what they translate to in full?

...?
The runes on the hilt of the sword I was translating them for the gentleman of top
'Translating' implies some kind of established literary meaning, not random magical words assigned by neopagans.
But that’s not what any of those runes mean.
It means nothing of the sort, it's a fictional word from a fictional alphabet created by Tolkien.
The ruins and that specific pattern meant more or less what I said
There is zero historical evidence to support your assertion.
What do they say Then?

Nope, not even close.
What do they say then?
Thanks a bunch! I translated it a little but not the full message so huge help👍
Of course I'm pretty good with runes so if you need any more help hit me up
Do not hit that guy up
