It is important here to note the distinction between translation and transliteration.
Runes are an alphabetic system, and there are several different Runic alphabets. (One example is the Elder Futhark, so named because the first six letters together represent the sounds for f, u, th, a, r, and k, much as the word alphabet is derived from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha and beta. It is elder because there were different versions that followed.)
The Runes were a Nordic alphabet of old Germanic and Scandinavian languages. The matter of translating this text would require a knowledge of one of those old languages. However, since the runes represent sounds, one could transliterate your English text from the Latin alphabet into a Runic one. (With some concessions, one can write English words using the Hebrew alephbet, or Mandarin Chinese using a Latin alphabet pinyin system, etc.)
This web-page from PBS has a portion to "write your name in runes", which could be used to quickly see what any text would look like when transliterated into the Elder Futhark.
