Deildu

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger

My child, if you have put up security for a friend’s debt or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor  or entered into an agreement with   a stranger

My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, If thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger

My son, if you become surety for your friend, If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger

Dear friend, if you’ve gone into hock with your neighbor or locked yourself into a deal with a stranger, If you’ve impulsively promised the shirt off your back and now find yourself shivering out in the cold, Friend, don’t waste a minute, get yourself out of that mess. You’re in that man’s clutches! Go, put on a long face; act desperate. Don’t procrastinate— there’s no time to lose. Run like a deer from the hunter, fly like a bird from the trapper!

My son, if you have become a guarantor for your neighbor, Or have given a handshake for a stranger

My son, if you have become surety (guaranteed a debt or obligation) for your neighbor, If you have given your pledge for [the debt of] a stranger or another [outside your family]

My child, if you have made a pledge for your neighbor, and have become a guarantor for a stranger
