Översättning - Tyska-Engelska - Ein Menschen worm Urlaub, wahrt sein Haus

- Should read: "Ein Mensch, vorm Urlaub, wahrt sein Haus" (first line of a text by Eugen Roth?)
- "wahren" means "to protect". I thought "secure" also worked here, since (given the whole original text which I think this sentence might come from) he closes all doors, even the ones inside the house itself.
