454:	i jakóže iskópa sъtvori metánïa kъ stárcu	and as he finished digging, he did a prayer towards the old man
455:	i vъníde vъnútrь pustíni.	and he went into the desert

458:	nь^ igúmenь ıwánnь obrě´te mnwgaa prěgrěšénïa vъ monastíri, jakóže rče sta.	but abbot John found many sins in the monastery, as the saint said
459:	támo bw` vъ tom mostíri skončá se starcь zosimâ *r* lě´t. stárosti,	the old man Zosima passed away there in that monastery (being) 100 years old

468:	ne bě li taʺa grěšnica˸	wasn't she a sinner?

473:	nižè es(t) nikoe prěgrě´šenïe, íže ne ispravljáet se pokaánïemь.	nor is there any transgression, which cannot be amended by penance
474:	prïémlet bъ pokaánïemь vъsákomu.	God accepts the penance of anyone
475:	tъčïju prilěžne da wbrátim se.	(he needs) only to turn away (from the sin) accordingly
476:	sъ vъsem srdcemь da kaeˇm se.	let us repent with all heart
477:	i prïémletь nas bъ.	and God will accept us

479:	i da ne glemь jako da tvorim grě´xy mnógy, i poslěžde xoštem kaáti se.	and let us not say that we should do many sins and afterwards we will repent
480:	jako kto trьžьstvuetь táko spsenïe egò, ne spdobljáetь bъ tákovago pokaati se.	who makes such a trade out of salvation, God does not make him worthy to repent
481:	i čtô vě´mь ăšte i do včera umrem˸	and do we know, whether we will not die until the evening?
482:	ilì kogda razuměĭmь čás sъmrъ´ti našeì,	or when we will know the hour of our death?
483:	sego rad(ì) povelě` gь vъ stmь eѵglïi,	that is why the Lord said in the holy Gospel:
484:	bditè, jako ne věstě dnь, nì čás, vъ nže snь člčsky prïídet,	ʺWatch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is comingʺ (Mt 25:13 NKJV)
485:	i ponéže ne věmi čas sъmrъ`ti nášei, da ne lénim se spsénïa nášego.	and because we do not know the hour of our death, let us not be lazy about our salvation
486:	da ne wtčaím se dobroti dši našeì.	let us not despair about the good of our souls
487:	zanè lě´nostь nikogdà dóbro ne ispravljáetь.	because sloth never does any good
488:	nìkogdà blgo ne sъvrъ´šaetь. nìže tělésnoe nìže dševnoe.	it never finishes any good: neither corporeal, nor spiritual
489:	i jakóže ktô ăšte wblě´nit se nivě` svoeì ilì lozíju svoeˇmu i ne wkopaváetь ju, pogubljáetь se wt trъ´nïemь i býlïemь	(ʺandʺ) as when someone is lazy on his acre or in his vineyard and does not cultivate it, it is lost to thorns and weed

492:	ségo radì podbaetь ne leniti se dóboti dše nášei,	that is why it is good not to be lazy about the goodness of our soul

498:	zanè tákova pomýšlenïa sút lukavago dïávola. íže dóbroti dšamь našim ne xóštet.	because such thoughts are from the evil Devil, who does not want the good for our souls
499:	ăšte vъ juˇnosti nášei ne xóštem pokaáti se, id(e)že možem rábotati kánona dxovnika nášego,	if we will not repent in our youth, where we can work according to our religion (ʺregulations of our clergyʺ ?)
	káko pokaém se vъ stárosti našeì idéže ne mošt'ni tělesem nášeimь.	then, how we will (be able to) repent in our old age, when we are bodily weak?
	ĭže ne móžemь nižè pokaáti se, nižè póstiti se. nižè bdě´ti nižè inì trud tvóriti grě´x radì nášix.	then, we can neither repent, nor fast, nor stay awake, nor perform any work for the sake of our sins

	ne vě´mi čtô ráditь za(o)utrà.	ʺwe know not what (will be there) to do tomorrowʺ (cf. Preacher 7:14)
504:	siʺréčь ne vě´mi čtô xóšte býti dáže do utrà,	that is, we do not know, what will be even tomorrow
505:	da ne javljáemь sebe jako besъmrъ`tny.	let us not consider ourselves to be deathless
506:	da ne sъgrěšaemь jako éže ne ne xoštem umréti kogda.	let us not sin as if we were not ever going to die
507:	nь^ razúměvaímь jako krátkь i vrě´meny es(t) žívotь náš.	but let us understand that our life is short and temporal
	da ispravim sámi sebě.	let us mend ourselves
508:	da wtvrátim volju nášu vъ blgoe.	let us turn our will to good
509:	da izměnim oumýšlenïa náša kъ pol'zy dši nášei,	let us change our thoughts for the profit of our soul
510:	ne pomýšljaimь tъkmo káko wbógatiti se. ilì káko wblě´šti se. ilì káko pítati se.	Let us not think only about how to get rich or clothe or feed ourselves
511:	nь^ páče množae da pomišljáimь káko ugóditi xu. káko da sъvrъ´šim dobrodě´telь. káko da ulučim crstvïe nbsnoe.	but let us think more about how to please Christ, how to gain virtue, how to receive the Kingdom of Heaven
512:	zanè i gь táko námь zápověda vъ stmь eѵglïi	because thus tells us the Lord in the Holy Gospel
513:	i gletь.	and He says:
514:	ne pécete s(e) dšeju vášeju štô jastè ilì čtô pïéte nìže tělom vášimь vъ čtô oblě´cěte s(e).	ʺdo not worry in your souls, what you will eat˸ or about your body, what you will wearʺ (Lk 12:22)

521:	i pakỳ povelě` po dólě gь,	and again, he says below:
522:	vъzrite na ptici nbsny,	ʺlook at the heavenly birdsʺ (Lk 12:24)
