(Huie, ean enguaʸsaʸ son filon, paradōseis saʸn ⱪeira eⱪthrōi. )
6:1-5 To secure the debt of another person is to guarantee it with one’s own possessions. Whether to earn a friend’s goodwill or to turn a profit from a stranger (cp. Exod 22:25; Lev 25:36-37; Deut 23:19-20), the risk is too great to take; it could lead to financial ruin. This message is repeated in Prov 11:15; 17:18; 20:16; 22:26; 27:13.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
בְּ֭נִי
son,my
See how you translated the same use of this phrase in 1:8.
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
אִם
if
Here, if indicates that Solomon is using a hypothetical situation to teach his son. This verse and the next verse are one long, conditional sentence. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “suppose”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אִם־עָרַ֣בְתָּ לְרֵעֶ֑ךָ
if put_up_security for,neighbor,your
Here Solomon implies that the pledge is a promise to pay back a loan of money for your neighbor if he is unable to pay back the loan himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “if you promise to pay back the loan for your neighbor when he is unable to pay it”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
תָּקַ֖עְתָּ לַזָּ֣ר כַּפֶּֽיךָ
bound for_the,stranger hands,yourself
Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply the word from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “if you clasp your palms for a stranger”
Note 5 topic: translate-symaction
תָּקַ֖עְתָּ & כַּפֶּֽיךָ
bound & hands,yourself
The function of this action in this culture was to confirm a contractual agreement with someone. If there is a gesture with similar meaning in your culture, you could consider using it here in your translation, or you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you shake hands to confirm an agreement” or “you confirm an agreement”
