English term

Toil and trouble

English to Norwegian Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Shakespeare (Macbeth)
This is a headline of an article about modern witchcraft. I would like to know of an already existing Norwegian translation for this phrase? (It's from Shakespeare's Macbeth.) If it's too obscure to make sense in a Norwegian context, I'd welcome any suggestion for another term.

I used something completely different, non-Shakespeare related instead. It had to make sense as a headline.
Anders Westlie Sep 28, 2015:
I will say that I have never encountered Macbeth in Norwegian myself, but I know it has been translated quite many times. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the major libraries in Norway have online access to it, so perhaps you could find a copy there to look up, and see if the answer fits in your context? I know quite many of the libraries have started to do digital lending, so unless you get a good response quickly, that's my best suggestion!

mas og trøbbel

Double double toil and trouble,
Det mest forståelige her ville nok blitt noe slik:
"mer og mer mas og trøbbel"
Something went wrong...
