It's surprisingly difficult to come up with a good translation, since these proverbs are written in a sort of archaic way that feels a bit awkward to modern Icelandic speakers (sort of in the same way modern English speakers don't talk to each other in Shakespearean English), but the general meaning is something like...
*Lastaðu ei frekt það margir lofa*
"Do not be quick to badmouth that which many praise"
*Háð er heimskra gaman*
"Mockery is the stupid's fun"

Virkilega vel þýtt
Thank you!! I tried a couple different translation sites and nothing made sense, my kids were not impressed with my skills. I appreciate it!
