357:	и блгодарещи ба, възврáти се въ монастир(ь),	and, thanking God, he returned to the monastery
358:	ꙗко́же прїи́дѣ дрꙋ́гое лѣто, по ѡбы́чаи монасти́рскомꙋ, хотѣáше зосимâ изы́ти и ѡнь̀,	As the next year came, Zosima wanted to go according to the monastic custom too
359:	и не възмо́же.	and he could not
360:	ꙗко възе́ть его̀ тре́савица.	because he was taken by fever
361:	и тогда въспомѣ́нꙋ кáко рче емꙋ̂ ста, изы́ти изъ монасти́ра.	and then he remembered, how the saint spoke to him, (about) leaving the monastery
362:	про́че сътвори мáло дны тресавицею дръжим	then he spent some days, having the fever
363:	и пакы̀ ꙋсцѣ́ле.	and he became healthy again
364:	егдà же приспѣ̀ вели́кыи че́тврьтокь. възѐ стое причеще́нїе ꙗко́же рче емꙋ̂ стаа.	when the Maundy Thursday came, he took the Holy Eucharist as the saint told him
365:	и възе́т мало смо́квы и фи́никы и ле́щꙋ квáшенꙋ въ во́дѣ.	and he took a few figs and dates and lentils fermented in the water
366:	и поидѐ бли́зь рѣ́кы,	and he went to the river
367:	и ѡжи́даше ви́дѣти стꙋю.	and he waited to see her
368:	и плáкаше мно́жае како закáснѣ ста и не прихо́дит,	and he cried a lot, as the saint was late and not coming
369:	и пакы̀ прїи́доше емꙋ̂ тáмо и дрꙋга помы́шленїа.	and again, also other thoughts came to him there
370:	и вълáгаше въ ꙋмь своѝ ꙗко ӑще прїи́деть ста, съ чим хо́щет прѣи́ти ıѡрдáнь	and he was putting on his mind, how could the saint cross Jordan, if she will come
	и́же ко́рабль нѣс(т).	where (ʺwhichʺ) there was no boat
371:	сї́а въспоминаше, ви́дѣ стꙋю	thinking about this, he saw the saint
372:	и приспѣ	(as) she arrived
373:	ꙗко́же ю [ви́дѣ] стà.	and as as he saw her, he stood up
374:	и пáкы старць чюждаше с(е) съ чим прѣи́ти.	and the old man wondered, how (she could) cross
375:	и áбїе зре́ ю	and suddenly he saw her
376:	и сътво́ри крсть своѝ.	and (s?)he crossed himself
377:	но́щь бѣ̏ врѣ́ме	it was a night
	и месе́чина чиста	and the moon was clear
378:	и зре́ ю.	and he saw her
379:	ꙗко́же сътво́ри крсть. ѡбрѣте с(е) ѿ дрꙋ́гою стрáнꙋ рѣ́кы.	as he crossed himself, he found himself on the other side of the river
380:	зосимâ же ꙗко́же ю ви́дѣ сътво́ри ѡбрáзь покло́нити се.	seeing her, Zosima seemed to want to bow to her
381:	и гла емꙋ̂ ста,	and the saint spoke to him:
382:	аввâ зосимâ что̂ хо́щеши сътво́рити.	ʺo Father Zosima, what do you want to do?ʺ
383:	стаа таи́на но́сиши	ʺyou carry the Holy Eucharistʺ
384:	и хо́щеши сътво́рити метáнїа˸	ʺand you want to pray?ʺ
385:	глющи сло́во се̏ ста приспѣ̀ къ стáрцꙋ	speaking this word, the saint came to the old man
386:	и рче́	and she said:
387:	блсви ме аввâ	ʺo Father, bless meʺ
388:	блсви ме,	ʺbless meʺ
389:	потом въложи стáрца	then asked the old man:
390:	и изрче ей оче́ нáшь, и вѣ́рꙋю въ еди́ного ба.	and he told her Our Father and Credo (ʺI believe in one Godʺ)
391:	и цѣлова его̀ по ѡбы́чаи лю́бвѣ.	and she kissed him according to the custom of love
392:	и тогдà приче́сти се	and then she took the Eucharist
393:	и ре́че.	and she said:
394:	ннѣ ѿпꙋ́щаеши рáбꙋ твою̀ влдко съ миром по глю твоемꙋ̂,	ʺnow you have freed your servant, o Lord, with peace as You have saidʺ
395:	ꙗкоже видѣстѣ ꙫчи мои спсе́нїе твое.	ʺfor my eyes have seen Your salvationʺ (Lk 2:30)
396:	Тогдà гла стáрцꙋ.	then she spoke to the old man:
397:	прости ме аввâ зосимâ.	ʺforgive me, o Father Zosimaʺ
398:	и дрꙋ́го хо́тѣнїе да сътво́риши ми.	ʺfulfill one more wish for meʺ
399:	ннꙗ пои́ди въ монасти́ри твоем съ помо́щїю бжı́ю.	ʺnow, go to your monastery with the help of Godʺ
400:	и въ гре́дꙋщее лѣто, пакы̀ прїиди на ме́сто иде́же ме ѡбрѣ́те при́вы крáть.	ʺand come again next year to the same place, where you have met me for the first timeʺ
401:	и хо́щеши ме видѣти ꙗко́же въсхо́щет бъ моѝ.	ʺand if my God will want, you will see me
402:	гла ей стáрць.	the old man spoke to her:
403:	рáбо исти́ннаго ба. нь̂ когдà бдѫ дс(т)ои́нь послѣдствовáти ти.	ʺbut, o servant of the true God, when I will be worthy to follow you?ʺ
404:	нь̂ понѐ възмѝ ѿ сї́а и́же ти прине́сох пищꙋ.	ʺbut take at least from this food I have brought for youʺ
405:	прострь бо̀ ста рѫ́кꙋ	then the saint stretched her hand
406:	и възет тъ́кмо три̏ зръ́на ѿ ле́щи.	and she took only three grains from the lentils
407:	и пакы̀ сътво́ри крсть своѝ,	and she crossed herself again
408:	и прѣи́де ıѡрдáньскаа рѣ́ка више, ꙗко́же и пръ́ви крáть.	and she crossed the river Jordan as in the first time
409:	стáрць же възврáти се въ монасти́рь своѝ слáвещи ба.	and the old man returned to his monastery, praising God
410:	нь̂ мно́гаа скръбеáше како не ꙋвдѣ имѣ стѣѝ.	but he was very sad for not asking (ʺseeingʺ) the name of the saint
411:	про́че надѣáше с(е) пакы̀ въпро́ститї ю.	for the next time, he hoped to ask her
412:	егдà же приспѣ пакы̀ лѣ́то. и дны си́рни, изы́де изь монасти́рь по ѡбы́чаи йже имѣáхꙋ,	when the next year and the Cheese Days came, he left the monastery according to the custom they had
413:	и хождааше по пꙋсти́ни зре́щи само и ѡнáмо	and he was walking around the desert looking here and there
	едà бо̀ ви́дѣти стѫѧ где̏.	where the saint could be seen
414:	и ꙗко́же ю не ꙋвдѣ́ наче плáкати стáрць,	and as he did not see her, the old man began to cry
415:	и съ слъ́зами многыми глаше къ бꙋ.	and with many tears he spoke to God:
416:	бе мо́и вели́коси́лнѣ. и́же ме спдо́би ви́дѣти тáковое таи́нство, не разлꙋчаи́ ме и дáже до концà съвръ́шити.	ʺo my powerful God, who made me to see such a great mystery, do not abandon me before I finish itʺ
417:	спдо́би ме хѐ моѝ полꙋчити ми пакы̀ млтвами ееˇ рáбѣ твоѐ.	ʺmake me worthy, o my Christ, to receive the prayer from her, your servantʺ
418:	сї́а глющꙋ стáрцꙋ. зре̏щи на дѣ́сно и на ле́во едà ви́дѣтї ю,	as the old man was thus speaking, he looked on his right and left, whether she was to see there
419:	и зре́щи видѣ иде́же бѣ̏ кончáла и съ кръсте́ни рѫ́цѣ.	and looking thus, he saw, where he had passed away with crossed hands
420:	и глáвꙋ еи бѣ́ше къ западꙋ.	and her head was (turned) towards the west
421:	и ꙗко́же ю видѣ тече плачю́щи се.	and as he saw her, he ran crying to her
422:	и ѡсе́за нозѣ стѣи	and he embraced her legs
423:	и кропѣáше их съ слъзами его̀.	and he watered them with his tears
424:	ели́ко бо̀ мо́щно слъ́зеше	and he wept strongly
425:	и ѿ ѱáлтира ре́че непорочны,	and he recited the Psalm of the Undefiled (Ps 118)
426:	и тогдà чю́ждаше с(е) что̂ сътво́рити	and then he wondered what to do
427:	и ӑбїе ви́дѣ вы́ше глáвые стѣи,	and then he saw (looked?) over the head of the saint
	и бѣ̏ пи́сана землꙗ̀,	and the ground was written upon
428:	и глаше тáко	and it spoke thus:
429:	аввâ зосимâ. погрѣ́бы тѣло смѣре́нїе марї́е сї́е и́же ѡбрѣ́те.	ʺFather Zosima, bury the body of this humble Mary, which you have foundʺ
430:	и мли ба ѡ мнѣ̂ радѝ.	ʺand pray God for my sakeʺ
431:	ско́нчáх же се въ мсць фармꙋѳїа, сы̏реч апри́лїа. въ но́щи ѡноѝ иде́же приче́стих се.	ʺI have passed away in the month of Parmouti, that is April, in the night when I took the Eucharistʺ
432:	сї́а писи́нїа ꙗко́же ви́дѣ зосимâ, чю́ждаше с(е) кто их съпи́са.	as Zosima saw these writings, he wondered, who has written them
433:	рекла бо̂ бѣ̏ емꙋ̂ ста кáко не вѣ́сть писáнїа	because she had told him, that she does not know how to write
	и кáко два̏ дсеть дны пꙋ́та, въ еди́нь час пои́де стаа.	and (he wondered) how the saint could pass 20 days of walk in an hour
434:	и про́че чю́ждаше с(е) пакы̀ съ чи́мь иско́пати землю̀.	and also he wondered how to dig the ground
435:	тáмо ви́дѣ мало дрѣ́во до́лѣ на землѝ повръ́женно,	he saw there a small piece of wood thrown on the ground
436:	и наче́ть съ ни́ми копати землю̀.	and he began to dig the ground with it (ʺthemʺ)
437:	и не възмо́же.	and he could not
438:	ꙗко бѣ стáрь	because he was old
439:	нь̂ и мѣ́сто бѣ̏ мно́го сꙋхо.	but also the place was very dry
440:	и áбїе ви́дѣ еди́ного лъвâ и́же лижаше но́зѣ стѣѝ	and suddenly he saw a lion, licking the saint's legs
441:	и ꙗко́же его̀ ви́дѣ оубоá се.	and as he saw (the beast), he became afraid
442:	ꙗко въспоми́наше сло́во стѣи иде́же рче. ꙗко ѕвѣрâ не ви́дѣ въ четири дсе́ть лѣ́т.	because he remembered the word of the saint, (ʺwhere she saidʺ) that she did not saw a beast in forty years
443:	проче сътво́ри крсть своѝ,	then he crossed himself
444:	и надѣеˇ се не врѣ́дитї его̀,	and he hoped to not harm him
445:	и ѿвѣ́ща къ лъ́вꙋ	and he said (ʺansweredʺ) to the lion
446:	и рче.	and said:
447:	ѡ ѕвѣрꙋ̂ не ꙋкро́тими. поне́же сила бжı́а принесла те ес(т) зде̏ помо́щи ми,	ʺo untameable beast, as the power of God has brought you here to help me,ʺ
	иско́паи землю̀ погреб͛сти стѣи мо́щи.	ʺdig the ground to bury the relics of the saint!ʺ
448:	ꙗко еˇсмь ӑзь стáрь	ʺbecause I am oldʺ
449:	и не възмо́гꙋ. нижѐ ко́пати нижѐ пои́ти прине́сти дѣлáнїа ко́пати.	ʺand I cannot dig nor bring tools (?) for diggingʺ
450:	и се́го радѝ ты̏ сътво́ри гро́бь стѣѝ.	ʺfor this reason, you do make a grave for the saintʺ
451:	си́це рче стáрць.	thus spoke the old man
452:	и абїѐ лъ́вь възъмь съ прѣдни́ми но́гами	and the lion quickly began (to dig) with his forward legs
453:	и иско́па ели́ко покрити тѣло стѣи,	and he dug out so much (as needed) to cover the body of the saint
454:	и ꙗко́же иско́па сътвори метáнїа къ стáрцꙋ	and as he finished digging, he did a prayer towards the old man
455:	и въни́де вънꙋ́трь пꙋсти́ни.	and he went into the desert
456:	стáрць же погре́бе тѣло стые тáмо иде́же ю ѡбрѣ́ще.	the old man then buried the body of the saint where he found her
457:	и възврáти се въ монасти́рь слáвещи и пою́щи ба.	and he returned to the monastery praising and singing to God
458:	нь̂ игꙋ́мень ıѡáннь обрѣ́те мнѡгаа прѣгрѣше́нїа въ монасти́ри, ꙗко́же рче ста.	but abbot John found many sins in the monastery, as the saint said
459:	тáмо бѡ̀ въ том мости́ри скончá се старць зосимâ ·р· лѣ́т. стáрости,	the old man Zosima passed away there in that monastery (being) 100 years old
460:	сї́а сꙋть дѣ́ла блꙋдници лю́бымици.	These are the deeds of the harlot, my dear
461:	си̏ сꙋт добродѣ́тели оуничиже́нїе жены̀.	these are the virtues of a despicable woman
462:	блꙋдница по исти́нѣ бѣ̏,	she was truly a harlot
463:	нь̏ и вели́кые добродѣтелїе ееˇ, спдобыше ю въ црствы нбснѣмь.	but also her great virtues made her worthy for (ʺinʺ) the Kingdom of Heaven
464:	грѣ́шнаа бѣ̏,	she was sinful
465:	нь̂ и покаáнїемь спсе́ се.	but she saved herself by penance
466:	занѐ да види́мь како по́сти се.	so that we see her fasting
467:	да вди́мь кáко трꙋ́ди се.	so (that) we see how she worked
468:	не бѣ ли та̏а грѣшница˸	wasn't she a sinner?
469:	не бѣ̏ ли и та̏ ꙋничи́жена˸	wasn't she contemptous?
470:	се́го радѝ и и́ мы̏ да покае́м се ѡ грѣсѣ́х наших.	for this reason, also we should repent about our sins
471:	и да не пáдемь въ ѿчаáные, ӑще и ꙗко́же пескь мо́р͛скыи, сꙋ́т съгрѣшенїа нáша.	and we should not fall into depression, if you sins are numerous as the sand of the sea
472:	нѣ́с(т) ни еди́нь грѣ́х иде́же болить млсть бжї́а.	there is no sin, which surpasses (?) the mercy of God
473:	нижѐ ес(т) никое прѣгрѣ́шенїе, и́же не исправлꙗ́ет се покаáнїемь.	nor is there any transgression, which cannot be amended by penance
474:	прїе́млет бъ покаáнїемь въсáкомꙋ.	God accepts the penance of anyone
475:	тъчїю прилѣжне да ѡбрáтим се.	(he needs) only to turn away (from the sin) accordingly
476:	съ въсем срдцемь да каеˇм се.	let us repent with all heart
477:	и прїе́млеть нас бъ.	and God will accept us
478:	ꙗко ес(т) млсрдь и мнго млсти́вь.	because he is gracious and very merciful
479:	и да не глемь ꙗко да творим грѣ́хы мно́гы, и послѣжде хощем каáти се.	and let us not say that we should do many sins and afterwards we will repent
480:	ꙗко кто трьжьствꙋеть тáко спсенїе его̀, не спдоблꙗ́еть бъ тáковаго покаати се.	who makes such a trade out of salvation, God does not make him worthy to repent
481:	и что̂ вѣ́мь ӑще и до вчера ꙋмрем˸	and do we know, whether we will not die until the evening?
482:	илѝ когда разꙋмѣймь чáс съмръ́ти нашеѝ,	or when we will know the hour of our death?
483:	сего рад(ѝ) повелѣ̀ гь въ стмь еѵглїи,	that is why the Lord said in the holy Gospel:
484:	бдитѐ, ꙗко не вѣстѣ днь, нѝ чáс, въ нже снь члчскы прїи́дет,	ʺWatch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is comingʺ (Mt 25:13 NKJV)
485:	и поне́же не вѣми час съмръ̀ти нáшеи, да не ле́ним се спсе́нїа нáшего.	and because we do not know the hour of our death, let us not be lazy about our salvation
486:	да не ѿчаи́м се доброти дши нашеѝ.	let us not despair about the good of our souls
487:	занѐ лѣ́ность никогдà до́бро не исправлꙗ́еть.	because sloth never does any good
488:	нѝкогдà блго не съвръ́шаеть. нѝже тѣле́сное нѝже дшевное.	it never finishes any good: neither corporeal, nor spiritual
489:	и ꙗко́же кто̂ ӑще ѡблѣ́нит се нивѣ̀ своеѝ илѝ лози́ю своеˇмꙋ и не ѡкопавáеть ю, погꙋблꙗ́еть се ѿ тръ́нїемь и бы́лїемь	(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
490:	тáко ес(т) и въ дши въсáкомꙋ хрстї́áнинꙋ.	so it is also with the soul of every Christian
491:	егдà ѡблѣ́нит се члкь дѣлáнїю бжı́ю и приноше́нїе дши его̀, áбїе погы́баеть дша члкꙋ ѡно́мꙋ ѿ помы́шленїа зла̏, ѿ мъчтанїа бѣсѡ́вска. и ѿ и́на нахо́жденїа лꙋкава.	when a human is lazy in divine works and in helping his soul, suddenly his soul is lost to that man because of bad thoughts, of devilish dreams, and other evil ideas
492:	се́го радѝ подбаеть не ленити се до́боти дше нáшеи,	that is why it is good not to be lazy about the goodness of our soul
493:	и гле́мь,	and (it is not good to) speak:
494:	днсь грѣхы да сътвáраемь,	ʺlet us do sins todayʺ
495:	и за(о)ꙋтра хощем покаáти се.	ʺand tomorrow we will repentʺ
496:	въ юности нáшеи да съгрѣшенїе творим,	ʺlet us sin in our youthʺ
497:	и въ стáрости нáшеи хощемь каáти се.	ʺand we will repent in our old ageʺ
498:	занѐ тáкова помы́шленїа сꙋ́т лꙋкаваго дїáвола. и́же до́броти дшамь нашим не хо́щет.	because such thoughts are from the evil Devil, who does not want the good for our souls
499:	ӑще въ юˇности нáшеи не хо́щем покаáти се, ид(е)же можем рáботати кáнона дховника нáшего,	if we will not repent in our youth, where we can work according to our religion (ʺregulations of our clergyʺ ?)
	кáко покае́м се въ стáрости нашеѝ иде́же не мощ͛ни тѣлесем нáшеимь.	then, how we will (be able to) repent in our old age, when we are bodily weak?
	йже не мо́жемь нижѐ покаáти се, нижѐ по́стити се. нижѐ бдѣ́ти нижѐ инѝ трꙋд тво́рити грѣ́х радѝ нáших.	then, we can neither repent, nor fast, nor stay awake, nor perform any work for the sake of our sins
500:	ннꙗ иде́же имами врѣ́ме.	(it is) now, when we have time
501:	ннꙗ да покае́м се въсáко.	(it is) now (the time) to do any penance
502:	днсь иде́ твори́мь грѣ́хы. днсь исповѣдаи́м се,	today we sin, today we confess
503:	занѐ ꙗкож(е) глет прѣмѫ́дри соломонь,	because, as the most wise Solomon says:
	не вѣ́ми что̂ рáдить за(о)ꙋтрà.	ʺwe know not what (will be there) to do tomorrowʺ (cf. Preacher 7:14)
504:	си̏ре́чь не вѣ́ми что̂ хо́ще бы́ти дáже до ꙋтрà,	that is, we do not know, what will be even tomorrow
505:	да не ꙗвлꙗ́емь себе ꙗко бесъмръ̀тны.	let us not consider ourselves to be deathless
506:	да не съгрѣшаемь ꙗко е́же не не хощем ꙋмре́ти когда.	let us not sin as if we were not ever going to die
507:	нь̂ разꙋ́мѣваи́мь ꙗко крáткь и врѣ́мены ес(т) жи́воть нáш.	but let us understand that our life is short and temporal
	да исправим сáми себѣ.	let us mend ourselves
508:	да ѿврáтим волю нáшꙋ въ блгое.	let us turn our will to good
509:	да измѣним оумы́шленїа нáша къ пол͛зы дши нáшеи,	let us change our thoughts for the profit of our soul
510:	не помы́шлꙗимь тъкмо кáко ѡбо́гатити се. илѝ кáко ѡблѣ́щи се. илѝ кáко пи́тати се.	Let us not think only about how to get rich or clothe or feed ourselves
511:	нь̂ пáче множае да помишлꙗ́имь кáко ꙋго́дити хꙋ. кáко да съвръ́шим добродѣ́тель. кáко да ꙋлꙋчим црствїе нбсное.	but let us think more about how to please Christ, how to gain virtue, how to receive the Kingdom of Heaven
512:	занѐ и гь тáко нáмь зáповѣда въ стмь еѵглїи	because thus tells us the Lord in the Holy Gospel
513:	и глеть.	and He says:
514:	не пе́цете с(е) дшею вáшею що̂ ꙗстѐ илѝ что̂ пїе́те нѝже тѣлом вáшимь въ что̂ облѣ́цѣте с(е).	ʺdo not worry in your souls, what you will eat˸ or about your body, what you will wearʺ (Lk 12:22)
515:	не дша ли бо́лше ес(т) пи́щи и тѣло одѣжды˸	ʺis not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?ʺ (23)
516:	сы̏реч не помы́шлꙗи́те вънꙋтръ дшах вáших что̂ ꙗ́сте илѝ пїете,	that is: do not worry inside your souls, what you will eat or drink
517:	нижѐ имѣи́те помы́шленїа въ что̂ облѣ́чете телѣси вáшего.	nor think of in what you clothe your body
518:	нѣс(т) лѝ дша вáша бо́лшаа ѿ áстїа.	is not the soul more than food?
519:	нѣс(т) ли тѣлесà вáша бол͛ша ѿ ѡдѣ́жде˸	is not your body more than the clothes?
520:	сказꙋ́еть ꙗко́ еˇже оумышлꙗ́етѣ радѝ ꙗстїа йже н ѣс(т) ничто́же, кáко не пецѣ́те с(е) и дше своееˇ радѝ йже ес(т) вещ͛ чъстнѣи́ша въсего ми́ра.	he says, that what you think about food is in vain, if you don't care about your soul, which is something more precious than the whole world
521:	и пакы̀ повелѣ̀ по до́лѣ гь,	and again, he says below:
522:	възрите на птици нбсны,	ʺlook at the heavenly birdsʺ (Lk 12:24)
523:	ꙗко нѝ се́ютъ	ʺthey do not sowʺ
524:	ни жнꙋт	ʺnor they reapʺ
525:	ни събы́рають въ жи́тници,	ʺnor they have no barnʺ
526:	и ѿцъ вáшь нбсныи пи́таеть е,	ʺand your heavenly Father feeds themʺ
527:	не ви́ ли лꙋчшїи еˇстѣ ѡнѣх,	ʺare you not better than these?ʺ
