a duel in Sweden in 1697

[Nancy Hodgkinson]

Can any one help with translating this? It is a short part of a personal history written by Peter Erikson Arbin (later Arbien) who was born in Arboga, Västmanland, Sweden in 1674 and died in Kristiania, Norway in 1733. In 1697 his employer was called to Greenland, and until his return allowed Peter to go to visit his father. I cannot make complete sense of this part:

"permission at besøge min fader, som, Gud bedre, ei bedre afgik, end jeg hel uskyldig blev tvungen af en student, nafnl. Johan Dahliin, til at duellere med sig, hvor han efter nogen stundz modstand blev paa pladsen; derefter jeg mig retirerte hid til Norge med største hazard og møie;"

Any help appreciated.

Hi Nancy!
Not a perfect translation but I'm sure you will get the gist of it.

"leave to visit my father, who, God called, or worse died, when I quite
innocently was forced by a student named Johan Dahliin to duel with him
where after some moments reistance remained on the site; after which I
retreated here to Norway with great danger and difficulty"
