Bellows:
Forth shall one go, nor stay as a guest
in a single spot forever.
Love becomes loathing if one long sits
By the hearth in another’s home.
Thorpe:
A guest should depart, not always stay in one place.
The welcome becomes unwelcome
if he too long continues
in another’s house.
Original Old Norse:
Ganga skal
skala gestr vera
ey í einum stað
ljúfr verðr leiðr
ef lengi sitr
annars fletjum á
