61:	тъ́кмо дáже до рáмꙋ ҆єго̀ доспеваáхꙋ.	they reached only to his shoulders.
62:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же ҆єго̀ ви́дѣ стáрць, възрадува се ҆ѡ мно́зѣ.	And as the elder saw him, he rejoiced very much,
63:	кáко ҆ѡбрѣ́те ҆ѡно̀ ҆и́же прошаáше.	because he found what he prayed for.
64:	҆и ҆áбїе начѐ течáти по нем.	And he immediately started to run towards him.

	приспѣ на ҆єдном мѣ́стѣ ҆и́же бѣ́ше ҆ꙗко сꙋ́хы потькь мáль.	he reached a place, which was like a small, dry brook,
75:	҆ѡн же ҆и́же ҆ꙗвлꙗ́ше с҄ съни́де	And the one, who appeared, went down,
76:	҆и пакы̀ възы́де.	and he went up again,

82:	не мо́гꙋ стáти видѣти ме.	I cannot stand to (let you) see me,
83:	҆ꙗко є̆смь нага ҆ꙗко́же ме вди́ши,	because I am naked, as you see me,
84:	҆и ҆и́но є̆смь женâ.	and also I am a woman.
85:	про́че ӑще хо́щеши сТостоáти, връ́зы ми ҆єди́нꙋ ѿ ри́зь твоих ҆ѡблѣщи се,	But if you want (me) to stay, throw me one of your shirts to clothe (myself).
86:	҆и тогдà вди́ши ме подати ми мл҃твꙋ твою̀.	Then you (may) see me, to give me your prayer.

103:	҆ꙗко є̆си прозо́рлива,	because you are foreseeing,
104:	҆и знáеши ҆имѣ моѐ, ҆и кáко є̆смь сщ҃е́нникь.	and you know my name and that I am a priest.
105:	се́го радѝ мл҃ю ти се мно́го	Thus I pray you so much:
106:	ты̏ ме блс҄ви.	You do bless me!

108:	҆и гл҃а	and she spoke:
109:	б҃ъ ст҃ыи ҆и́же любит҄ спс҄е́нїе грѣ́шникѡм, тъи̏ да блс҄ви́т те.	May the Holy God, who loves the salvation of sinners, may he bless you!

111:	ѿвѣ́ща ст҃а	The saint answered,
112:	҆и гл҃а къ зо́симѣ.	and she spoke to Zosima:
113:	҆аввâ зо́сима почто̂ радѝ потрꙋ́ди се ҆и прїи́де даже до зде̏ ви́дѣти ҆єди́нꙋ женꙋ̂ грѣ́шнꙋ.	Father Zosima, why did you put such an effort, coming so far as here to see one sinful woman?

122:	нь̂ мл҃и б҃а тѣ́х радѝ, ҆и ҆ѡ мн̂ѣ радѝ.	But pray God for those, and for me as well,
123:	҆ꙗко се́го радѝ потрꙋ́дих се толикы пꙋ́ть грѣшны.	for that is why I went such a way, (me,) the sinful one.
124:	гл҃а ҆емꙋ̂ женâ ҆ѡнà.	The woman spoke to him:
125:	҆аввâ зо́сима. тебе подбáеть мл҃ити се б҃ꙋ ҆ѡ мн̂ѣ радѝ.	Father Zosima, it beseems you to pray for me,
126:	про́ч҄е понеже ми повелѣваеши, сътво́рити послꙋшáнїе.	but because you want me, may I fulfill your prayer (lit. to do obedience).
127:	тогдà стà на мнѡг҄ час҄	Then she stood for a long time,
128:	҆и мл҃ꙗше се ст҃аа.	and the saint prayed,

152:	занѐ ӑще не бы хо́тѣль б҃ъ ви́дѣти те,	For if God would not want (me) to see you,
	не бых хо́диль толикы пꙋт ӑзь стáраць ҆и не мо́щнь.	I would not walk such a way, me, old and weak,

161:	҆и бѣжах въ ҆алεѯáндїю.	and I ran to Alexandria.
162:	҆и тáмо бых блꙋ́дница ,з҃ı, лѣ́т҄,	and I was a whore there for 17 years,
163:	҆и то́лико бых въ грѣсѣ́х бестѫ́дна,	and I was so shameless in my sin,
	҆ꙗко тъкмо да прихо́дет҄ мнозы̂ къ мн̂ѣ,	that just to make many come to me,
	не възы́мах ничжо́же,	I took nothing from them.
164:
165:	҆и то́лико бѣх ни́ща,	And I was so poor,
	҆ꙗко ѿ рѫ́кы моей живѣх.	that I lived from my hand;
166:	когдà съ фꙋркꙋ,	sometimes with distaff,
167:	когдà съ ҆инѣ́ми работами.	sometimes with other works.
168:	въ ҆єди́нь бо̂ днь ҆изы́дох въс краѝ мо́ра.	Then one day I went out to the beach.
169:	҆и ҆ꙋ́зрех множь́ство мно́го чл҃цы, ҆и́же въхо́ждахꙋ въ ко́рабль нѣ́кы вели́кь.	And I saw a multitude of people, who were boarding a large ship.
170:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же ҆их видѣх въпросих ҆єди́ного ѿ ных.	And as I saw them, I asked one of them:
171:	где̏ хо́дет҄ чл҃цы ты̏.	Where are those people going?
172:	҆и рч҄е́ ми	And he told me:
173:	҆ꙗко въ ҆ı҆єрлс҄мь хо́димʹ.	(lit. that:) We are going to Jerusalem,
174:	занѐ нн҃ꙗ приспѣ́ваеть дн҃ь въздвиже́нїа.	because now the day of the Exaltation is coming.
175:	Тогдà гл҃ахь къ не́мꙋ	Then I spoke to him:
176:	҆єдà хотет ли ҆и ме́нѣ;	Whether they wanted me too?
177:	гл҃а ми ѡ̆нь.	He spoke to me:
178:	ӑще ҆имáши ѿкꙋ́пь да подáси, никто́же те не забавлꙗ́еть.	If you have money for the fare to give, then nobody is stopping you.
179:	ѿвѣ́щах	I answered,
180:	҆и гл҃аáхь ҆ємꙋ̂.	and I spoke to him:
181:	ѿкꙋ́пь не ҆имáм	I donʹt have the money for the fare,
182:	нь̂ ҆имáм тѣло моѐ.	but I have my body,
	҆и пи́тати се ҆и хо́дити ҆и дáже до ҆ı҆єрс҄лма безь ѿкꙋ́па.	so that I (can) feed myself and go even to Jerusalem, without the fare.
183:	ѡ̆нь ҆ꙗко́же слы́ша словеса моà, ѿ҆и́де смѣю́щи ѿ менѣ.	As he heard my words, he went away from me laughing.
184:	҆áз же ҆авва зо́симâ. не ҆ꙗко ҆имáх добрь съвѣ́ть пои́ти въ ҆ı҆єрлс҄мь	But I, o Father Zosima, not that I had a good intention to go to Jerusalem!
185:	нь̂ въсхо́тѣх прї҆ѡбрѣ́сти ҆и ҆инѣх члцѣх҃, да сътво́рꙋ хоТѣнїе своѐ.	Rather I wanted to find some other people too, so that I can satisfy my desire with them.
186:	ре́кох ти ҆аввâ зосимâ.	I told you, o Father Zosima!
187:	не понꙋждаи́ ме ре́щи по напрѣд.	Do not compel me to tell more!
188:	҆ꙗко ҆ѡсквръ́нꙗю въздꙋхъ ҆и зе́млю съ сло́веси мои́ми.	Because thus I taint the air and ground by my words.
189:	сї́а рч҄е ст҃аа	The saint said these (words),
190:	҆и ҆оумлъ́ча.	and she became silent.
191:	тогдà гл҃а ҆ей стáрць.	Then the elder spoke to her:
192:	рци́ ми мт҃и прпдобна даже до ко́нцà.	Tell me, o Reverend Mother, up to the end!
193:	҆и не съкриваѝ ничто́же ѿ ме́нѣ.	And do not hide anything from me!
194:	пакы̀ ѿвѣ́ща ст҃а	Again, the saint answered,
195:	҆и гл҃а ҆ємꙋ̂.	and she spoke to him:
196:	҆аввà зосимâ понеже ме понꙋ́ждаеши, ре́щи ти ти ҆и по напрѣд,	O Father Zosima, because you insist, (I will) speak further.
197:	҆áбїе повръ́гох фꙋ́ркꙋ мою̀	I threw away my distaff,
198:	тогдà, ҆и те́кох въ ҆єди́нь ко́рабль ѿ ѡнѣх.	and then I ran into one of the ships there,
199:	҆ꙗко бѣ́хꙋ ҆и ҆инѝ ко́рабле готови пои́ти.	because there were also other ships prepared for departure.
200:	҆и ви́дѣх дс҄е́ть юноше крáсных ҆и́же хо́тѣхꙋ въни́ти въ ко́рабль.	And I saw ten beautiful young men, who wanted to enter the ship,
201:	҆и гл҃ахь ймь	and I spoke to them:
202:	възмете ҆и ме́нѣ съ со́бою,	Take me with you too!
203:	҆и подáдите ѿкꙋ́пь менѣ радѝ.	And pay the fare for me!
204:	҆и хо́щꙋ ви ҆искꙋ́пити.	And I will pay you off.
205:	҆ѡни́ же ҆ꙗкоже слы́шаше възеше ме въ ко́рабль.	As they heard it, they took me into the ship.
206:	҆и ҆єли́ци грѣси сътво́рих тамо ҆аввâ срамлꙗю сѧ повѣ́дати ти.	And what kind of sins I did there, o Father, I am ashamed to say.
207:	про́ч҄е се̏ тъ́чїю чюждꙋ се кáко не растръже се мо́ре пожрѣти нас҄ въсѣ́х ҆и́же бѣ́хомь.	But I wonder that the sea did not open to devour us all who were there.
208:	нь̂ ҆єлʹма б҃ъ ҆ѡжи́даше покаáнїе моѐ.	But perhaps (lit. as) God was awaiting my penance.
209:	҆ꙗко́же ҆изы́дох ҆изь ко́раблꙗ, не дово́лни ми бѣхꙋ прѣждные моѝ грѣ́си.	When I left the ship, my previous sins were not enough for me,
210:	нь̂ пои́сках ҆и ҆и́нѣх лю́бленникь множаи́ши.	but I wanted also other lovers.
211:	҆єгдà приспѣ̀ дн҃ь въздвыже́нїа, ӑз же ҆ꙗко́же ҆и прѣжде тво́рех грѣх.	when the Feast of the Cross came, I was sinning again as before
212:	ви́дѣх же чл҃цы но́щїю ҆ижде́ въхождаáхꙋ въ црк҃вь	and I saw that people were entering a church in the night
213:	после́дствовах бо̂ ҆и ӑзь, тъкмо да зрꙋ̀ ҆юно́ше.	I followed them too, just to see the boys.
214:	҆єли́ко же нꙋждаáх се въни́ти даже до врáть	but as I tried to enter (even) through the door
	йнь ҆изревáше ме	other(s) pushed me out
215:	҆и не ҆ѡставлꙗ́ше ме въни́ти.	and they did not let me to enter
216:	҆єгдà же въхо́ждаахꙋ въсѝ въ црк҃овь, ҆áзь про́ч҄е не възмо́гох въни́ти вънь̀,	and when the others were (coming) inside the Church, I still could not enter
217:	три̏ ҆и чеТири крáть покꙋсих се въни́ти,	three and four times I tried to enter
218:	҆и про́ч҄е не възмо́гохь вънити.	and still I couldnʹt enter
219:	тогдà пои́дох	then I went away
220:	҆и стах вънѣ̀ въ ҆єди́нь ҆ꙋгль̀.	and I stood outside in one corner
221:	҆и стою́щи ми тáмо въспоминах ҆ꙗко ѿ съгрѣшени моих не мо́гꙋ въни́ти.	staying there I thought, that I could not come in because of my sins
222:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же въспáках се грѣх радѝ моих, ви́дѣх више менѣ	and as I started to cry because of my sins, I looked (lit. saw) above me
223:	҆и бѣ̏ ҆єди́на ҆ико́на прчс҄тина,	and there was an icon of the Most Pure
224:	҆ꙗко́же ю видѣх прослъ́зих се	as I saw it, I was filled with tears
225:	҆и рех.	and I said:
226:	дв҃о влдчце бц҃е, ҆и́же родила є̆си г҃а нáшего ҆ıѵ҃̂ х҃à.	o Virgin Lady Mother of God, who has given birth to our Lord Jesus Christ
	разꙋмѣх ҆ꙗко не́ смь дс҄ои́на зрети ст҃ꙋю твою̀ ҆ико́нꙋ,	I understand that I am not worthy to see your icon
	радѝ мѡ́гых моих грѣсѣх,	because of the many of my sins
227:	понже се́го радѝ бы́с҄ б҃ъ чл҃кь,	(but) because of this God became a man
	радѝ да призовет҄ грѣ́шникы въ покаáные,	to call the sinners to repent
228:	помо́зы ми ҆и ме́нѣ вънити въ црк҃вь.	help me, so that even I can enter the church
	ви́дѣти дрѣ́во ҆и́же распе́т се сн҃ь твоѝ радѝ грѣ́хы моѐ.	to see the wood, (on) which your Son was crucified because of my sins
	҆и пролїа ст҃ѫѧ ҆єго̀ кръ́вь	and (on which) his holy blood was spilled
	радѝ да сп҃се́ть грѣ́шникы,	to save the sinners
229:	҆и ӑще спдо́блю се ви́дѣТи ҆єго̀.	and if I will be able to see it
	те́бѣ вълагаю ҆испорꙋчницоу къ сн҃ꙋ твоӗмꙋ,	I will count you for my helper along your Son
	҆ꙗко про́ч҄е не ҆ѡскврънити ми плът҄ мою̀,	so that I (will not) taint my flesh again
230:	нь̂ ҆ꙗко же ҆изы́дꙋ ѿ црк҃вѣ,	but when I will exit the church
	҆иде́же ме настáвиши пои́дꙋ.	whereever you point me, I will go (there)
231:	сїа рехь	thus I spoke
232:	҆и прїӗхь мáлое ҆ꙋтѣше́нїе.	and I received some consolation
233:	потом съмѣсих се съ ҆ини́мы чл҃кы,	then I mingled with other people
234:	҆и вънидох въ црк҃овь.	and I entered the church
235:	҆и про́ч҄е никто́же не забавлꙗ́ше ме	and nobody was stopping me
	҆ꙗко́же пръви крáт҄.	as in the first time
236:	нь̂ ҆ꙗко́же прѣжде забавлꙗ́емь,	but (something was) being a barrier to me similarly as before
	Тáко ско́рѣе вънꙋ́трь въ црк҃вь.	rather inside the church
237:	҆и ӑбїе страх ҆и тре́петь ме въспрїеть	and suddenly fear and trembling overcame myself
	҆єгдà ви́дѣх дрѣ́во крс҄тное.	as I saw the wood of the Cross
238:	падох на землѝ долѣ̀	and I fell down to the ground
239:	҆и поклоних се съ слъзами. ст҃мꙋ ҆ѡно́мꙋ дрѣ́вꙋ.	and I bowed with tears to that holy wood
240:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же поклони́х се,	and as I bowed
	текѡͯ пакы̀ на мѣ́стѣ ҆иде́же бѣ̏ въ҆ѡбрáженна бц҃а.	I ran again to the place, where the Mother of God was pictured
241:	҆и съ слъ́зами плачю́щи гл҃ахь.	and I spoke, weeping with tears:
242:	ты̏ прѣст҃аа дв҃о не гнꙋшаи́ ше менѣ грѣшнꙋю ҆и не дс҄ои́ною рáбꙋ твою̀.	you, o Most Holy Virgin, do not turn away in disgust from me, your sinful and unworthy servant
243:	нь̂ спдо́би ме ви́дѣти ҆ѡно̀ йже възлю́бых	but make me worthy to see what I fell in love with
	҆и хо́щꙋ.	and (what) I want
244:	се́го радѝ влдчце бц҃е, покáжи ми ҆и пꙋ́ть къ спс҄е́нїю.	for this reason, o Lady Mother of God, show me the way to salvation
245:	ты̏ бѫдѝ наставителница спс҄е́нїю моемꙋ̂.	you be the helper of my salvation
246:	ты̏ ҆и́же быс҄ ҆испорꙋчница, ты̏ ме насТáви кáко ҆ꙋгодити сн҃ꙋ тво҆ємꙋ̂.	you, who cared (for Him), you help me to please your Son
247:	гл҃ю́щи ӑзь тáкова, ҆оуслы́шах глас҄ ҆иде́же ми прїиде	and as I spoke thus, I heard a voice as it came
248:	҆ꙗко ҆áще прѣи́дешеи ҆ı҆ѡрдáнь, хо́щеши ҆ѡбрѣ́сти великїи покоѝ.	if you cross Jordan, you will find a great peace
249:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же ҆ꙋслы́шах, възвах велїемь глс҄ѡм.	and as I heard (it), I called with a strong voice:
250:	Влдчце влдчце, не ҆ѡстáви менѣ̀.	o Lady, Lady, do not abandon me!
251:	сї́а рех	thus I spoke
252:	҆и ҆изы́дох пои́ти къ ҆ı҆ѡрдáнꙋ.	and I went (to go) to Jordan
253:	҆и ходѣщꙋ ми ви́дѣв ме нѣ́кы хрс҄тїáнинь,	and as I went, one Christian saw me
254:	҆и ҆изъ́мь три̏ ме́днице	and he too three copper coins
255:	҆и подас҄ ми радѝ ҆име́ни хв҃ѣ̀.	and he gave them to me in the name of Christ
256:	възех бо ҆их ӑзь	so I took them
257:	҆и кꙋпих три̏ хлѣ́бы съ ни́ми.	and I bought three loaves of bread with them
258:	тáмо въпросихь ҆єди́ного чл҃ка, коѝ пꙋ́ть ходит҄ на ҆ı҆ѡрдáнь,	there I asked one man, which way led to Jordan
259:	҆и покáза ми.	and he (she?) showed me
260:	҆и ҆áбїе плáчющꙋ ми ходѣх пѫ́тем,	and I immediately went weeping on the way
261:	҆и къ вч҄е́ри приспѣх въ хрáм ст҃го ҆ı҆ѡáнна прдтчю. бли́зь ҆ı҆ѡрдáна.	and in the evening I reached the temple of St. John the Forerunner near Jordan
262:	҆и въ дн҃ь тъ̏и приче́стих се въ монасти́ри.	and on that day I took the Eucharist in the monastery
263:	҆и не сънедохʹ поль хлѣ́ба	and I (did not?) ate a half of a loaf
264:	҆и пихь ѿ во́ди ҆ı҆ѡрдáна	and I drank from the water of Jordan
265:	потом възлегох	then I laid myself
266:	҆и прѣспах тáмо.	and I slept there
267:	҆и заут҄рà ҆єгда дн҃ь бы́с҄.	and in the morning, as the day began
	съни́дох долѣ на ре́кꙋ	I went down to the river
268:	҆и ҆ѡбрѣ́тохь мáль корабль	and I found a small boat
269:	҆и прѣи́дох.	and I crossed
270:	҆и прїи́дѡͯ даже до зде̏ ҆ижеже ме вдиши ҆аввâ зосимâ.	and I came even here, where you see me, o Father Zosima
271:	ѿвѣ́ща стáрць	the elder answered
272:	҆и гл҃а ҆єй.	and he spoke to her:
273:	колико лѣ́ть ҆имáши ст҃аа ѿнѣ́лиже є̆си зде въ пꙋсти́ни;	for how many years are you (you have, since you are) here in the desert?
274:	гл҃а ҆ємꙋ̂ ст҃а.	the saint spoke to him:
275:	.м҃, лѣ́т҄, ҆имам ҆аввà зосимâ ѿнѣлиже є̆см зде̏.	40 years (I have), o Father Zosima, since I am here
276:	гл҃а ҆єй зосимâ,	Zosima spoke to her:
277:	҆и ѿ кдꙋ ҆ѡбрѣтаеши пи́щꙋ Твою̀ даже до днс҄ь.	and from where do you take (find) your food until today?
278:	҆илѝ кáко прѣи́де толикое лѣ́ти,	or how did you survive so many years?
279:	гл҃а ҆ємꙋ̂ ст҃а.	the saint spoke to him:
280:	два̏ ҆и по́ль хлѣба ҆имѣ́х ҆єгдà прѣи́дох ҆ı҆ѡрдáнь.	I had two and half loaves of bread, when I crossed the Jordan
281:	҆и то́лико ҆исъхо́ше, ҆ꙗко бы́ше ҆ꙗко́же кáменїе.	and they were as dry as stone
282:	по мáлꙋ бѡ̀ по малꙋ прѣи́дох съ ними. ҆и ѿ трáви се̏и пꙋсти́ннѣ.	(eating) a little by little, I survived with them and the desert grass
283:	ѿвѣ́ща стáрць	the elder answered
284:	҆и гл҃а єй.	and he spoke to her:
285:	҆и кáко прѣи́де то́лико врѣ́ме.	how did you pass so much time?
286:	҆имáше ли досáдꙋ ѿ дїáвола, ҆илѝ нѝ;	did you have any annoyance from the Devil or not?
287:	гл҃а ҆ємꙋ̂ ст҃а.	the saint spoke to him:
288:	҆аввâ зосимâ. ве́щь ли ме въпрашаеши, ҆иде́же тре́пещꙋ ҆изре́щи ти.	o Father Zosima, you are asking to say a thing I tremble from
289:	занѐ ӑще въспомѣ́нꙋ то́ликые напáсТи ҆и́же прѣтръ́пѣх ҆и пострдáхь,	because, if I am to remember all the snares I suffered from
	бою́ се да не пострáждꙋ.	I fear to not suffer (again)
290:	пакы̀ гл҃а єй стáрць.	again, the elder spoke to her:
291:	мл҃ю ти се рáбѣ ҆исти́ннаго х҃à	I pray you, o servant of the true Christ
292:	не съкри̂ ничто́же.	do not hide anything
293:	нь̂ въсà скáжи ми лю́бвѣ радѝ хв҃ѣ.	but tell me all, for the sake of Christʹs love
294:	ѿвѣща ст҃аа	the saint answered
295:	҆и рч҄е́ ҆ємꙋ.	and she spoke to him:
296:	вѣ́рꙋ ми ҆имѝ ҆аввà зосимâ,	believe me, o Father Zosima
297:	се́дмь на дс҄е́ть лѣт҄ сътворих въ пꙋсти́ню сїю,	I was (did) for 17 years in this desert
	҆и́же досади многы ҆имах ѿ дїáвола.	(in) which I had many annoyances from the Devil
298:	занѐ ҆єгдà начи́нах ҆ꙗ́сти, въспоминах ме́са ҆и ри́бы ҆и́же бѣхꙋ въ ҆єги́пте.	because when I ate, I remembered all the meat and fish, which were in Egypt
299:	въспоминах винâ мно́гаа ҆и́же пїáхь въ ҆єг҄ѵпТе,	I remembered all the wines, which I drank in Egypt
300:	҆и раждизáше с҄ ҆ꙋтро́ба моà.	and my guts were set ablaze
301:	҆ꙗко зде̏ поне води не ҆имѣ́х пити.	because here I did not have even water to drink
302:	҆и пакы̀ въспоминах козлоглáсованїа ҆и́же знах,	and then again, I was remembering the songs which I knew
303:	҆и начи́нах козлоглáсовати.	and I started to sing
304:	҆и пакы̀ въспоминах грѣ́хы моѐ, ҆и прс҄тꙋю дв҃ꙋ йже положих ҆испорꙋчни́цꙋ,	and then I remembered my sins, and the most holy Virgin, whom I set as my helper
305:	҆и прихо́ждаахꙋ ми ҆ꙗко́же слъзы	and the (songs) were coming to me as tears
306:	҆и плаках се ҆ѡкаáнна.	and I cried from repentance
307:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же мл҃ихь бц҃ꙋ. свѣ́ть множаи́ши просъ́вте прѣд мною̂.	and as I prayed the Mother of God, the world became more bright for me
308:	҆и погыбаáхꙋ помы́шленїа моà зла̏а.	and my bad thoughts vanished
309:	кáко повѣ́дати ми ҆аввâ зосимâ ҆о́гнь ҆и́же распалꙗ́ше срдце моѐ блꙋда радѝ.	how to tell (you), o Father Zosima, (about) the flame, which was burning in my heart because of adultery?
310:	нь̂ ҆ꙗко́же ми прихождахꙋ тáкова помы́шленїа, ле́жах долѣ на землѝ съ слъ́зами.	but as these thoughts were coming, I laid myself on the ground with tears
311:	҆и не въстах,	and I did not stand up
	ӑще не хотѣх ви́дѣТи свѣт҄ ҆ѡ́нь раси́пати се помы́шленїа моà.	I did not want to see the light until my thoughts fell apart (?)
312:	про́ч҄е съ тáковим напáстьми ҆аввà зосимâ, досаждаема бых, з҃ı, ҆ѡнѣ́х лѣ́т҄.	I was annoyed by such thoughts, o Father Zosima, for those 17 years
313:	ѿ толѣ даже до днс҄ь съ помо́щїю прѣчс҄тыю ми, не ҆имѣю̀ никою̀ досáдꙋ,	since then, up until today, with the help of the Most Pure , I have no annoyance
314:	гл҃а ҆єй зоси́мâ,	Zosima spoke to her:
315:	҆и проч҄е не пои́ска ли пи́щꙋ ҆илѝ ҆оде́ждꙋ ҆имеТи;	and did you not want to have food or clothes?
316:	гл҃а ҆емꙋ̂ ст҃а.	the saint spoke to him:
317:	хлѣ́бы ѡ̆ны ҆и́же ти рех, сънедох йхь въ з҃ı, лѣт҄,	the bread I had, I ate in 17 years
318:	҆и ѿ то́лѣ питѣю́ се ѿ трáвꙋ земли сеи̏.	since then I feed myself with the grass of this soil
319:	҆ѡдѣждꙋ же мою̀ ҆и́же ҆имѣх пръвѣ́е. раздраше с҄ ҆и падоше.	the clothes I had before were torn and fell
320:	҆и стꙋ́дени мно́гы ҆имѣх но́щїю,	and I had many cold nights
321:	҆и пакы̀ въ дн҃е ҆имѣх вели́кы зноѝ.	and then, I had much heat in the day
322:	то́лико ҆иде́же многащи падах долѣ ҆ꙗко́же мръ́тва ѿ стꙋдени мно́гые.	so much, that (here) I often fell down as dead because of much cold
323:	нь̂ б҃ъ ҆и́же рч҄е́ ҆ꙗко не ҆ѡ хлѣбѣ тъ́кмо жи́ветʹ чл҃кь, тъ̏и мѐ пи́таше ҆и покри́ваше ме.	but God, who said that man does not live only by bread (Mt 4:4), He was feeding me and clothing me
324:	҆ꙗко тъ̏ поло́жи вь нб҃са на ҆ѡблáцѣх.	because He puts clouds onto heavens (Ps 146:8)
325:	зосимâ жа ҆ꙗко ҆ꙋслы́ша ѿ пи́сани гл҃ет҄, ѿвѣ́ща	as Zosima heard her citing the Scriptures, he answered
326:	҆и рч҄е ҆єй.	and he said to her:
327:	вѣ́си ли ст҃а моà ѿ пи́сани;	does my saint know of the Scriptures?
328:	҆илѝ на҆ꙋчи́ те кто̂;	or by whom have you been taught?
329:	гл҃а ҆емꙋ̂ ст҃а.	the saint spoke to him:
330:	҆аввâ зосимâ, ӑзь чл҃ка ҆є́ще не ви́дѣх ѿне́лиже прїи́дохʹ зде̏,	o Father Zosima, I did not see a man since I came here
	тъ́чїю ст҃ию ти днс҄ь.	only the holy you today
331:	нь̂ нѝже понѐ ѕвѣрâ, ҆илѝ ҆ино что̂ жи́вотно видѣх то́лико врѣ́ме.	but I have not seen even a beast nor another animal for such time
332:	нижѐ писáнїе вѣмь ҆или ҆ꙋчи́х се ҆аввâ моѝ.	neither I know the Scriptures, nor did I learn, my Father
333:	нь̂ б҃ъ ҆иде́же подаваеть разꙋ́мь въ чл҃цѣх, ҆ѡнь̀ ме на҆ꙋчѝ сїá словесà.	but God, who (where) gives reason to (in) humans, He taught me those words
334:	мл҃и ҆ꙋ́бо б҃а ҆аввâ зосимà ҆ѡ мн̂ѣ грѣ́шнои радѝ.	for that pray to God, o Father Zosima, for my sinful self
335:	҆ꙗко́же ҆ємꙋ̂ рч҄е́ ст҃а.	thus the saint spoke
	҆и зосимâ хо́тѣ сътво́рити метáнїа.	and Zosima wanted to pray
336:	тогдà ко́снꙋ се ҆ємꙋ̂ ст҃а	then saint interrupted him
337:	҆и не ҆ѡставї ҆єго̀ сътвори́ти съвръ́шенꙋ метáнїю.	and she did not allow him to finish the prayer
338:	тъ́чїю рч҄е ҆ємꙋ̂.	she just said to him:
339:	҆аввâ зосимâ. сї́а ҆и́же ти ҆изре́кѡͯ ҆и слы́ша, блюдѝ никомꙋже рцѝ доиде́же прѣстáвлю се.	o Father Zosima, about this, what I told you and you heard, be aware not to tell (show) that to anyone, until I die
340:	нь̂ Ты̏ нн҃ꙗ поидѝ съ ми́рѡм,	but you go now with peace
341:	҆и въ грѣ́дꙋщеє лѣ́то хо́щеши ме ви́дѣти пакы̀,	and you will see me in the next year again
342:	про́ч҄е сътво́ри сїà ҆и́же ти гл҃ю.	do what I say to you
343:	въ грѣдꙋщее лѣ́то не прѣидѝ ҆ı҆ѡрдáнь ҆ꙗко́же ҆имáте ѡбы́чаи.	do not cross Jordan in the next year, as you usually do
344:	нь̂ прѣбы́ваи въ монасти́ри.	but stay in the monastery
345:	҆ꙗко ӑще хо́щеши ҆изы́ти. не хо́щеши възмо́щи.	for if you would like to go, you will not be able to
346:	҆и въ вели́кыи чеТврътькь вч҄е́рь, прїимѝ ст҃аа Таи́на добрѣ̀,	and on the Maundy Thursday evening take the Eucharist well
347:	҆и прине́си на ҆ı҆ѡрдáнь,	and bring (it) to Jordan
348:	҆и ҆ѡжидаи́ ме тамо.	and await me there
349:	҆ꙗко ѿнѣ́лиже прїидѡͯ зде̏, ҆є́ще не приче́сТих се.	because since I came here I did not have Eucharist yet
350:	се́го радѝ мл҃ю ти се да ми принесеши ст҃ое причещенїе.	that is why I pray you to bring me the Holy Eucharist
351:	҆и да рч҄еши ҆и ҆аввâ ҆ı҆ѡáннꙋ̂ ҆игꙋ́менꙋ монасТирскомꙋ блю́сти се добрѣ̀.	and tell to Father John, the abbot of (your) monastery, to guard himself well
352:	҆ꙗко мнѡ́га зла̏ сꙋ́тʹ вънꙋ́трь монас҄ти́ра, ҆и́же тре́бꙋють ҆исправле́нїа.	because there are many evils in the monastery, which require amendments
353:	сї́а рч҄е ст҃а	thus said the saint
354:	҆и ҆áбїе ѿбѣ́же въ пꙋсти́ню.	and she immediately ran into the desert
355:	стáрць же чю́ждаше с҄ кáко рч҄е ҆ѡбы́чаи монас҄ти́рскы.	the elder wondered, as she spoke (about) the monastic customs
	҆и кáко вдѣше съгрѣше́нїе монас҄тирʹское.	and as she saw the sins of the monastery
356:	҆и тъ́чїю падѣ долѣ на землѝ,	he just fell down to the ground
357:	҆и цѣлова мѣ́сто ҆иде́же стоáша ст҃а	and he kissed the ground, where the saint stood
358:	҆и бл҃годарещи б҃а, възврáти се въ монастир҄,	and, thanking God, he returned to the monastery
359:	҆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
360:	҆и не възмо́же.	and he could not
361:	҆ꙗко възе́ть ҆єго̀ тре́савица.	because he was taken by fever
362:	҆и тогда въспомѣ́нꙋ кáко рч҄е ҆ємꙋ̂ ст҃а, ҆изы́ти ҆изъ монасти́ра.	and then he remembered, how the saint spoke to him, (about) leaving the monastery
363:	про́ч҄е сътвори мáло дн҃ы тресавицею дръжим	then he spent some days, having the fever
364:	҆и пакы̀ ҆исцѣ́ле.	and he became healthy again
365:	҆єгдà же приспѣ̀ вели́кыи че́тврьтокь. възѐ ст҃ое причеще́нїе ҆ꙗко́же рч҄е ҆емꙋ̂ ст҃аа.	when the Maundy Thursday came, he took the Holy Eucharist as the saint told him
366:	҆и възе́т҄ мало смо́квы ҆и фи́никы ҆и ле́щꙋ квáшенꙋ въ во́дѣ.	and he took a few figs and dates and lentils fermented in the water
367:	҆и поидѐ бли́зь рѣ́кы,	and he went to the river
368:	҆и ҆ѡжи́даше ви́дѣти ст҃ꙋю.	and he waited to see her
369:	҆и плáкаше мно́жае како закáснѣ ст҃а ҆и не прихо́дит҄,	and he cried a lot, as the saint was late and not coming
370:	҆и пакы̀ прїи́доше ҆ємꙋ̂ тáмо ҆и дрꙋга помы́шленїа.	and again, also other thoughts came to him there
371:	҆и вълáгаше въ ҆ꙋмь своѝ ҆ꙗко ӑще прїи́деть ст҃а, съ чим хо́щет҄ прѣи́ти ҆ı҆ѡрдáнь	and he was putting on his mind, how could the saint cross Jordan, if she will come
	҆и́же ко́рабль нѣс҄.	where (which) there was no boat
372:	сї́а въспоминаше, ви́дѣ ст҃ꙋю	thinking about this, he saw the saint
373:	҆и приспѣ	(as) she arrived
374:	҆ꙗко́же ю [ви́дѣ] стà.	and as as he saw her, he stood up
375:	҆и пáкы старць чюждаше с҄ съ чим прѣи́ти.	and the elder wondered, how (she could) cross
376:	҆и ҆áбїе зре́ ю	and suddenly he saw her
377:	҆и сътво́ри крс҄ть своѝ.	and (s?)he crossed himself
378:	но́щь бѣ̏ врѣ́ме	it was a night
	҆и месе́чина чисТа	and the moon was clear
379:	҆и зре́ ю.	and he saw her
380:	҆ꙗко́же сътво́ри крс҄ть. ҆ѡбрѣте с҄ ѿ дрꙋ́гою сТрáнꙋ рѣ́кы.	as he crossed himself, he found himself on the other side of the river
381:	зосимâ же ҆ꙗко́же ю ви́дѣ сътво́ри ѡбрáзь покло́нити се.	seeing her, Zosima seemed to want to bow to her
382:	҆и гл҃а ҆емꙋ̂ ст҃а,	and the saint spoke to him:
383:	҆аввâ зосимâ что̂ хо́щеши сътво́рити.	o Father Zosima, what do you want to do?
384:	ст҃аа таи́на но́сиши	you carry the Holy Eucharist
385:	҆и хо́щеши сътво́рити метáнїа;	and you want to pray?
386:	гл҃ющи сло́во се̏ ст҃а приспѣ̀ къ стáрцꙋ	speaking this word, the saint came to the elder
387:	҆и рч҄е́	and she said:
388:	блс҄ви ме ҆аввâ	o Father, bless me
389:	блс҄ви ме,	bless me
390:	потом въложи стáрца	then asked the elder:
391:	҆и ҆изрч҄е ҆єй оч҃е́ нáшь, ҆и вѣ́рꙋю въ ҆єди́ного б҃а.	and he told her Our Father and Credo (I believe in one God)
392:	҆и цѣлова ҆его̀ по ҆ѡбы́чаи лю́бвѣ.	and she kissed him according to the custom of love
393:	҆и тогдà приче́сти се	and then she took the Eucharist
394:	҆и ре́чε.	and she said:
395:	нн҃ѣ ѿпꙋ́щаеши рáбꙋ твою̀ влдко съ миром по гл҃ю тво҆ємꙋ̂,	now you have freed your servant, o Lord, with peace as You have said
396:	҆ꙗкоже видѣстѣ ҆ꙫчи мои спс҄е́нїе Твое.	for my eyes have seen Your salvation (Lk 2:30)
397:	Тогдà гл҃а стáрцꙋ.	then she spoke to the elder:
398:	прости ме ҆аввâ зосимâ.	forgive me, o Father Zosima
399:	҆и дрꙋ́го хо́тѣнїе да сътво́риши ми.	fulfill one more wish for me
400:	нн҃ꙗ пои́ди въ монасти́ри твоем съ помо́щїю бж҃ı́ю.	now, go to your monastery with the help of God
401:	҆и въ гре́дꙋщее лѣто, пакы̀ прїиди на ме́сто ҆иде́же ме ҆ѡбрѣ́те при́вы крáть.	and come again next year to the same place, where you have met me for the first time
402:	҆и хо́щеши ме видѣти ҆ꙗко́же въсхо́щет҄ б҃ъ моѝ.	and if my God will want, you will see me
403:	гл҃а ҆єй стáрць.	the elder spoke to her:
404:	рáбо ҆исти́ннаго б҃а. нь̂ когдà бдѫ дс҄ои́нь послѣдствовáти ти.	but, o servant of the true God, when I will be worthy to follow you?
405:	нь̂ понѐ възмѝ ѿ сї́а ҆и́же ти прине́сох пищꙋ.	but take at least from this food I have brought for you
406:	просТрь бо̀ ст҃а рѫ́кꙋ	then the saint stretched her hand
407:	҆и възет҄ тъ́кмо три̏ зръ́на ѿ ле́щи.	and she took only three grains from the lentils
408:	҆и пакы̀ сътво́ри крс҄ть своѝ,	and she crossed herself again
409:	҆и прѣи́де ҆ı҆ѡрдáньскаа рѣ́ка више, ҆ꙗко́же ҆и пръ́ви крáть.	and she crossed the river Jordan as in the first time
410:	стáрць же възврáти се въ монас҄ти́рь своѝ слáвещи б҃а.	and the elder returned to his monastery, praising God
411:	нь̂ мно́гаа скръбеáше како не ꙋвдѣ ҆имѣ ст҃ѣѝ.	but he was very sad for not asking (seeing) the name of the saint
412:	про́ч҄е надѣáше с҄ пакы̀ въпро́ститї ю.	for the next time, he hoped to ask her
413:	҆єгдà же приспѣ пакы̀ лѣ́то. ҆и дн҃ы 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
414:	҆и хождааше по пꙋсти́ни зре́щи само ҆и ҆ѡнáмо	and he was walking around the desert looking here and there
	҆єдà бо̀ ви́дѣти ст҃ѫѧ где̏.	where the saint could be seen
415:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же ю не ҆ꙋвдѣ́ наче плáкати сТáрць,	and as he did not see her, the elder began to cry
416:	҆и съ слъ́зами многыми гл҃аше къ б҃ꙋ.	and with many tears he spoke to God:
417:	б҃е мо́и вели́коси́лнѣ. ҆и́же ме спдо́би ви́дѣти тáковое таи́нсТво, не разлꙋчаи́ ме ҆и дáже до концà съвръ́шити.	o my powerful God, who made me to see such a great mystery, do not abandon me before I finish it
418:	спдо́би ме х҃ѐ моѝ полꙋчити ми пакы̀ мл҃твами єӗ рáбѣ твоѐ.	make me worthy, o my Christ, to receive the prayer from her, your servant
419:	сї́а гл҃ющꙋ стáрцꙋ. зре̏щи на дѣ́сно ҆и на ле́во ҆єдà ви́дѣтї ю,	as the elder was thus speaking, he looked on his right and left, whether she was to see there
420:	҆и зре́щи видѣ ҆иде́же бѣ̏ кончáла ҆и съ кръсте́ни рѫ́цѣ.	and looking thus, he saw, where he had passed away with crossed hands
421:	҆и глáвꙋ ҆єи бѣ́ше къ западꙋ.	and her head was (turned) towards the west
422:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же ю видѣ тече плачю́щи се.	and as he saw her, he ran crying to her
423:	҆и ҆ѡсе́за нозѣ ст҃ѣи	and he embraced her legs
424:	҆и кропѣáше ҆их съ слъзами ҆єго̀.	and he watered them with his tears
425:	҆єли́ко бо̀ мо́щно слъ́зеше	and he wept strongly
426:	҆и ѿ ѱáлтира ре́че непороч҄ны,	and from the Psalter he recited the (Psalm of the) Undefiled (Ps 118)
427:	҆и тогдà чю́ждаше с҄ что̂ сътво́рити	and then he wondered what to do
428:	҆и ӑбїе ви́дѣ вы́ше глáвые ст҃ѣи,	and then he saw (looked?) over the head of the saint
	҆и бѣ̏ пи́сана землꙗ̀,	and the ground was written upon
429:	҆и гл҃аше тáко	and it spoke thus:
430:	҆аввâ зосимâ. погрѣ́бы тѣло смѣре́нїе марї́е сї́е ҆и́же ҆ѡбрѣ́те.	Father Zosima, bury the body of this humble Mary, which you have found
431:	҆и мл҃и б҃а ҆ѡ мн̂ѣ радѝ.	and pray God for my sake
432:	ско́нчáх же се въ мс҄ць фармꙋѳїа, сы̏реч҄ ҆апри́лїа. въ но́щи ҆ѡноѝ ҆иде́же приче́стих се.	I have passed away in the month of Parmouti, that is April, in the night when I took the Eucharist
433:	сї́а писáнїа ҆ꙗко́же ви́дѣ зосимâ, чю́ждаше с҄ кто ҆их съпи́са.	as Zosima saw these writings, he wondered, who has written them
434:	рекла бо̂ бѣ̏ ҆ємꙋ̂ ст҃а кáко не вѣ́сть писáнїа	because she had told him, that she does not know how to write
	҆и кáко два̏ дс҄еть дн҃ы пꙋ́та, въ ҆єди́нь час҄ пои́де ст҃аа.	and (he wondered) how the saint could pass 20 days of walk in an hour
435:	҆и про́ч҄е чю́ждаше с҄ пакы̀ съ чи́мь ҆иско́пати землю̀.	and also he wondered how to dig the ground
436:	тáмо ви́дѣ мало дрѣ́во до́лѣ на землѝ повръ́женно,	he saw there a small piece of wood thrown on the ground
437:	҆и наче́ть съ ни́ми копати землю̀.	and he began to dig the ground with it (them)
438:	҆и не възмо́же.	and he could not
439:	҆ꙗко бѣ стáрь	because he was old
440:	нь̂ ҆и мѣ́сто бѣ̏ мно́го сꙋхо.	but also the place was very dry
441:	҆и ҆áбїе ви́дѣ ҆єди́ного лъвâ ҆и́же лижаше но́зѣ ст҃ѣѝ	and suddenly he saw a lion, licking the saintʹs legs
442:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же ҆єго̀ ви́дѣ ҆оубоá се.	and as he saw (the beast), he became afraid
443:	҆ꙗко въспоми́наше сло́во ст҃ѣи ҆иде́же рч҄е. ҆ꙗко ѕвѣрâ не ви́дѣ въ четири дс҄е́ть лѣ́т҄.	because he remembered the word of the saint, (where she said) that she did not saw a beast in forty years
444:	проч҄е сътво́ри крс҄ть своѝ,	then he crossed himself
445:	҆и надѣє̆ се не врѣ́дитї ҆єго̀,	and he hoped to not harm him
446:	҆и ѿвѣ́ща къ лъ́вꙋ	and he said (answered) to the lion
447:	҆и рч҄е.	and said:
448:	҆ѡ̀ ѕвѣрꙋ̂ не ҆ꙋкро́тими. поне́же сила бж҃ı́а принесла те єс҄ зде̏ помо́щи ми,	o untameable beast, as the power of God has brought you here to help me,
	҆иско́паи землю̀ погребʹсти ст҃ѣи мо́щи.	dig the ground to bury the relics of the saint!
449:	҆ꙗко є̆смь ӑзь стáрь	because I am old
450:	҆и не възмо́гꙋ. нижѐ ко́пати нижѐ пои́ти прине́сти дѣлáнїа ко́пати.	and I cannot dig nor bring tools (?) for digging
451:	҆и се́го радѝ ты̏ сътво́ри гро́бь ст҃ѣѝ.	for this reason, you do make a grave for the saint
452:	Си́це рч҄е стáрць.	thus spoke the elder
453:	҆и ҆абїѐ лъ́вь възъмь съ прѣдни́ми но́гами	and the lion quickly began (to dig) with his forward legs
454:	҆и ҆иско́па ҆єли́ко покрити тѣло ст҃ѣи,	and he dug out so much (as needed) to cover the body of the saint
455:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же ҆иско́па съТвори метáнїа къ стáрцꙋ	and as he finished digging, he did a prayer towards the elder
456:	҆и въни́де вънꙋ́трь пꙋсти́ни.	and he went into the desert
457:	стáрць же погре́бе тѣло ст҃ые тáмо ҆иде́же ю ҆ѡбрѣ́те.	the elder then buried the body of the saint where he found her
458:	҆и възврáти се въ монас҄ти́рь слáвещи ҆и пою́щи б҃а.	and he returned to the monastery praising and singing to God
459:	нь̂ ҆игꙋ́мень ҆ı҆ѡáннь обрѣ́те мнѡгаа прѣгрѣше́нїа въ монас҄ти́ри, ҆ꙗко́же рч҄е ст҃а.	but abbot John found many sins in the monastery, as the saint said
460:	тáмо бѡ̀ въ том мости́ри скончá се старць зосимâ .р҃, лѣ́т҄. стáрости,	the elder Zosima passed away there in that monastery (being) 100 years old
461:	Сї́а сꙋть дѣ́ла блꙋдници лю́бымици.	These are the deeds of the harlot, my dear
462:	си̏ сꙋт҄ добродѣ́тели ҆оуничиже́нїе жены̀.	these are the virtues of a despicable woman
463:	блꙋдница по ҆исти́нѣ бѣ̏,	she was truly a harlot
464:	нь̏ ҆и вели́кые добродѣтелїе є̆е, спдобыше ю въ црс҄твы нбс҄нѣмь.	but also her great virtues made her worthy for (in) the Kingdom of Heaven
465:	грѣ́шнаа бѣ̏,	she was sinful
466:	нь̂ ҆и покаáнїемь сп҃се́ се.	but she saved herself by penance
467:	занѐ да види́мь како по́сти се.	so that we see her fasting
468:	да вди́мь [кáко] трꙋ́ди се.	so (that) we see how she worked
469:	не бѣ ли та̏а грѣшни[ца];	wasnʹt she a sinner?
470:	не бѣ̏ ли ҆и та̏ ҆ꙋничи́жена;	wasnʹt she contemptous?
471:	се́го радѝ ҆и ҆и́ мы̏ да покае́м се ҆ѡ грѣсѣ́х наших.	for this reason, also we should repent about our sins
472:	҆и да не пáдемь въ ѿчаáные, ӑще ҆и ҆ꙗко́же пескь мо́рʹскыи, сꙋ́т҄ съгрѣшенїа нáша.	and we should not fall into depression, if you sins are numerous as the sand of the sea
473:	нѣ́с҄ ни ҆єди́нь грѣ́х ҆иде́же болить млс҄ть бж҃ї́а.	there is no sin, which surpasses (?) the mercy of God
474:	нижѐ єс҄ никое прѣгрѣ́шенїе, ҆и́же не ҆исправлꙗ́ет се покаáнїемь.	nor is there any transgression, which cannot be amended by penance
475:	прїе́млет҄ б҃ъ покаáнїемь въсáкомꙋ.	God accepts the penance of anyone
476:	тъчїю прилѣжне да ҆ѡбрáтим се.	(he needs) only to turn away (from the sin) accordingly
477:	съ въсем срдцемь да кає̆м се.	let us repent with all heart
478:	҆и прїе́млеть нас҄ б҃ъ.	and God will accept us
479:	҆ꙗко єс҄ млс҄рдь ҆и мнг҄о млс҄ти́вь.	because he is gracious and very merciful
480:	҆и да не гл҃емь ҆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
481:	҆ꙗко кТо трьжьсТвꙋеть тáко сп҃сенїе ҆єго̀, не спдоблꙗ́еть б҃ъ тáковаго покаати се.	who makes such a trade out of salvation, God does not make him worthy to repent
482:	҆и что̂ вѣ́мь ӑще ҆и до вч҄ера ҆ꙋмрем;	and do we know, whether we will not die until the evening?
483:	҆илѝ когда разꙋмѣймь чáс҄ съмръ́ти нашеѝ,	or when we will know the hour of our death?
484:	сего рад̀ повелѣ̀ г҃ь въ ст҃мь ҆єѵг҄лїи,	that is why the Lord said in the holy Gospel:
485:	бдитѐ, ҆ꙗко не вѣстѣ дн҃ь, нѝ чáс҄, въ нже сн҃ь чл҃чскы прїи́дет҄,	Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming (Mt 25:13 NKJV)
486:	҆и поне́же не вѣми час҄ съмръ̀ти нáшеи, да не ле́ним се сп҃се́нїа нáшего.	and because we do not know the hour of our death, let us not be lazy about our salvation
487:	да не ѿчаи́м се доброти дш҃и нашеѝ.	let us not despair about the good of our souls
488:	занѐ лѣ́ность никогдà до́бро не ҆исправлꙗ́еть.	because sloth never does any good
489:	нѝкогдà бл҃го не съвръ́шаеть. нѝже тѣле́сное нѝже дш҃евное.	it never finishes any good: neither corporeal, nor spiritual
490:	҆и ҆ꙗко́же кто̂ ӑще ҆ѡблѣ́нит се нивѣ̀ сво҆еѝ ҆илѝ лози́ю своӗмꙋ ҆и не ҆ѡкопавáеть ю, погꙋблꙗ́еть се ѿ тръ́нїемь ҆и бы́лїемь	(and) as when someone is lazy on his acre or in his vineyard and does not cultivate it, it is lost to thorns and weed
491:	тáко єс҄ ҆и въ дш҃и въсáкомꙋ хрс҄тї́áнинꙋ.	so it is also with the soul of every Christian
492:	҆єгдà ҆ѡблѣ́нит се чл҃кь дѣлáнїю бж҃ı́ю ҆и приноше́нїе дш҃и ҆єго̀, ҆áбїе погы́баеть дш҃а чл҃кꙋ ҆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
493:	се́го радѝ подбаеть не ленити се до́броТи дш҃е нáшеи,	that is why it is good not to be lazy about the goodness of our soul
494:	҆и гл҃е́мь,	and (it is not good to) speak:
495:	днс҄ь грѣхы да сътвáраемь,	let us do sins today
496:	҆и заут҄ра хощем покаáти се.	and tomorrow we will repent
497:	въ ҆юности нáшеи да съгрѣшенїе творим,	let us sin in our youth
498:	҆и въ стáрости нáшеи хощемь каáти се.	and we will repent in our old age
499:	занѐ тáкова помы́шленїа сꙋ́т҄ лꙋкаваго дїáвола. ҆и́же до́броти дш҃амь нашим не хо́щет҄.	because such thoughts are from the evil Devil, who does not want the good for our souls
500:	ӑще въ ю̆ности нáшеи не хо́щем покаáти се, ҆идеж҄ можем рáботати кáнона дх҃овника нáшего,	if we will not repent in our youth, where we can work according to our religion (regulations of our clergy ?)
	кáко покае́м се въ стáрости нашеѝ ҆иде́же не мощʹни 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
501:	ннꙗ ҆иде́же ҆имами врѣ́ме.	(it is) now, when we have time
502:	нн҃ꙗ да покае́м се въсáко.	(it is) now (the time) to do any penance
503:	днс҄ь ҆иде́же твори́мь грѣ́хы. днс҄ь ҆исповѣдаи́м се,	today we sin, today we confess
504:	занѐ ҆ꙗкож҄ глет҄ прѣмѫ́дри соломонь,	because, as the most wise Solomon says:
	не вѣ́ми что̂ рáдить заут҄рà.	we know not what (will be there) to do tomorrow (cf. Preacher 7:14)
505:	си̏ре́чь не вѣ́ми что̂ хо́щет҄ бы́ти дáже до ҆ꙋтрà,	that is, we do not know, what will be even tomorrow
506:	да не ҆ꙗвлꙗ́емь себе ҆ꙗко бесъмръ̀тны.	let us not consider ourselves to be deathless
507:	да не съгрѣшаемь ҆ꙗко ҆є́же не хощем ҆ꙋмре́ти когда.	let us not sin as if we were not ever going to die
508:	нь̂ разꙋ́мѣваи́мь ҆ꙗко крáткь ҆и врѣ́мены єс҄ жи́воть нáш҄.	but let us understand that our life is short and temporal
	да ҆исправим сáми себѣ.	let us mend ourselves
509:	да ѿврáтим волю нáшꙋ въ бл҃гое.	let us turn our will to good
510:	да ҆измѣним ҆оумы́шленїа нáша къ полʹзы дш҃и нáшеи,	let us change our thoughts for the profit of our soul
511:	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
512:	нь̂ пáче множае да помишлꙗ́имь кáко ҆ꙋго́дити х҃ꙋ. кáко да съвръ́шим добродѣ́тель. кáко да ҆ꙋлꙋчим црс҄твїе нбс҄ное.	but let us think more about how to please Christ, how to gain virtue, how to receive the Kingdom of Heaven
513:	занѐ ҆и г҃ь тáко нáмь зáповѣда въ ст҄мь ҆єѵг҄лїи	because thus tells us the Lord in the Holy Gospel
514:	҆и гл҃еть.	and He says:
515:	не пе́цете с҄ дш҃ею вáшею що̂ ҆ꙗстѐ ҆илѝ что̂ пїе́те нѝже тѣлом вáшимь въ что̂ ҆облѣ́цѣте с҄.	do not worry in your souls, what you will eat˸ or about your body, what you will wear (Lk 12:22)
516:	не дш҃а ли бо́лше єс҄ пи́щи ҆и тѣло ҆одѣжды;	is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? (23)
517:	сы̏реч не помы́шлꙗи́те вънꙋтръ дш҃ах вáших что̂ ꙗ́сте ҆илѝ пїете,	that is: do not worry inside your souls, what you will eat or drink
518:	нижѐ ҆имѣи́те помы́шленїа въ что̂ ҆облѣ́чете телѣси вáшего.	nor think of in what you clothe your body
519:	нѣс҄ лѝ дш҃а вáша бо́лшаа ѿ ҆áсТїа.	is not the soul more than food?
520:	нѣс҄ ли тѣлесà вáша болʹша ѿ ҆ѡдѣ́жде;	is not your body more than the clothes?
521:	сказꙋ́еть ҆ꙗко́ ӗже ҆оумышлꙗ́етѣ радѝ ҆ꙗстїа йже нѣс҄ ничто́же, кáко не пецѣ́те с҄ ҆и дш҃е своеӗ радѝ йже єс҄ вещʹ чъсТнѣи́ша въсего ми́ра.	he says, that what you think about food is in vain, if you donʹt care about your soul, which is something more precious than the whole world
522:	҆и пакы̀ повелѣ̀ по до́лѣ г҃ь,	and again, he says below:
523:	възрите на птици нбс҄ны,	look at the heavenly birds (Lk 12:24)
524:	҆ꙗко нѝ се́ютъ	they do not sow
525:	ни жнꙋт҄	nor they reap
526:	ни събы́рають въ жи́тници,	nor they have no barn
527:	҆и ѿц҃ъ вáшь нбс҄ныи пи́таеть е,	and your heavenly Father feeds them
528:	не ви́ ли лꙋчшїи є̆стѣ ҆ѡнѣх,	are you not better than these?
529:	кто̂ же ли ѿ вас҄ пе́щи се мо́жеть приложи́ти възрáстꙋ своӗмꙋ̂ лъкать ҆єди́нь,	and who among you can add a cubit to your life? (25)
530:	си̏рѣч҄ ви́дитѣ на пти́це ҆иде́же лѣ́тають по въздꙋхꙋ,	that is: you see (to) the birds, which (where) they fly in the sky
531:	кáко ни сѣ́ють	as they do not sow
532:	ни жнꙋт҄,	nor they reap
533:	нижѐ събы́рають въ жи́тнице,	nor they have no barn to collect in
534:	҆и б҃ъ ѿц҃ъ въсем питаеть те́хь,	and God the All-Father feeds them with everything
535:	вы̏ же бо̂ чл҃цы не ҆измѣненили ҆єстѣ мно́жае ѿ тѣ́х;	are you not, humans, better than these?
536:	кто̂ же ли ѿ вáсь ҆ꙋми́слити мо́жет҄ приложити тѣлеси своӗмꙋ лъ́кат҄ ҆єди́нʹ.	and who among you, worrying, can add a cubit to your body?
537:	҆и пакы̀ повѣлѣ̀	and again, he speaks:
538:	҆о ҆ѡдѣ́жде что̂ пече́те се.	why are you anxious about clothes?
539:	възриТе на кри́ны селные,	look at the wild flowers (Lk 12:27-28)
540:	кáко растѫ́ть,	how they grow
541:	не трꙋждаю́т се.	they do not labor
542:	ни прѣдꙋт҄.	nor they spin
543:	гл҃ю же вáмь	yet I tell you
544:	҆ꙗко нѝ соломонь въ всеѝ слáвѣ своей ҆ѡблѣ́че се ҆ꙗко ҆єди́нь ѿ сих.	not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these
545:	ӑще же се́но се́лное днс҄ь сꙋ́ще, ҆и ҆ꙋтрѐ въ пе́щь вълагае́мо, б҃ъ тáко ҆ѡставлꙗ́еть, ко́лми пáче вась мáловѣ́ры,	if that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into fire, how much more will He clothe you, you of little faith?
546:	си̏рѣ́ч҄ почто̂ радѝ ҆ꙋмы́шлꙗете радѝ ҆ѡдежде.	that is: why do you think of clothes?
547:	поне разꙋмѣи́те цвѣ́тїе полʹское,	think at least of the wild flowers
548:	кáко рáстꙋтʹ	how they grow
549:	не трꙋждаю́т се,	they do not labor
550:	нижѐ прѣдꙋт҄.	nor they spin
551:	гл҃ю вáмь	yet I tell you
552:	҆ꙗко́же ни соломо́нь въ мнозѣх ҆єго̀ крáсотах ҆и чъ́сти. не ҆ѡблѣ́че се ҆ꙗко́же ҆єди́нь ѿ сых ҆ѡблѣ́щи се тáковою крáсотꙋ ҆ꙗко́же сꙋт҄ ҆оукрáшенна цвѣТїа.	not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these
553:	ӑще же сѣ́но полʹское ҆иде́же днс҄ь єс҄, ҆и заут҄рà вълагають въ пе́щь ҆и съгáраеть, б҃ъ ҆ѡдѣ́ваеть ҆и ҆оу́крáшаеть тáко, ко́лико паче вас мáловѣры нε хо́щет ли ви ҆ѡблѣ́щи,	if that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into fire, how much more will He clothe you, you of little faith?
554:	не ҆оу́бо печете с҄ гл҃ю́ще, чТо̀ ҆ꙗмѝ, ҆илѝ что̂ пїемь ҆или чимь ҆ѡблѣцѣм се,	do not worry, saying , ʹwhat we eatʹ or ʹwhat we drinkʹ or ʹwhat to put onʹ (cf. Lk 12:29-30)
555:	въсѣ́х бо̀ сих ҆єзы́чници ҆ищꙋт҄.	for this is what the heathens want
556:	вѣ́сть бо̂ ѿц҃ъ вáшь нбс҄ныи. ҆ꙗко трѣбꙋете въсà сы́их.	and your Father knows that you need them
557:	҆ище́те прѣжде црс҄твїа бж҃ı́а ҆и прáвды ҆єго̀	seek first His Kingdom and His truth
558:	҆и сї́а въсà приложит се вáм.	and this all will be included
559:	сы̏реч҄ проч҄е не помы́шлꙗите гл҃юще что̂ ꙗ̆мѝ ҆илѝ что̂ пїе́мь, ҆илѝ чи́мь ҆ѡдѣждим се.	that is: do not worry, saying , ʹwhat we eatʹ or ʹwhat we drinkʹ or ʹwhat to put onʹ
560:	занѐ сї́а въсà ҆ѧзы́ци ҆ищꙋт҄.	for this is what all the heathens want
561:	занѐ б҃ъ ѿц҃ъ вáшь ҆и́же єс҄ на нбс҄ѣхь вѣ́сть трѣбованїа сї́а въсà.	and your Father knows that you need them
562:	се́го радѝ ҆ище́те пръ́вѣе црс҄твые бж҃ı́е ҆и прáвды ҆єго̀.	thus seek first His Kingdom and His truth
563:	҆и сї́а въсà съвы́ше подает се.	and this all will be given to you from above
564:	про́ч҄е ҆и ҆имы̏ лю́бымици, не помы́шлꙗимь тáковаа.	let us think us too, my dear
565:	нь̂ дш҃амь нáшимʹ приноше́нїа да помы́шлꙗимь.	but let us think of spiritual gain
566:	спс҄енїю нáшемꙋ да по҆ꙋчаи́м се.	let us gain knowledge for the sake of salvation
567:	дш҃амь нашим да потащим се кáко питанїихь съ словѡм бж҃ї́емь.	let us struggle for the sake of our souls by feeding them with the Word of God
568:	дш҃амь нашим да потъщим се кáко напои́ти ҆их, съ ҆ꙋче́нїемь бг҃о҆ꙋго́дных.	let us struggle for the sake of our souls by giving them to drink of the teachings of those, who are pleasing to God
569:	дш҃и нáше да понꙋдим кáко ҆ѡблѣ́щи се съ добродѣ́телми.	let us train our souls how to clothe themselves in virtues
570:	радѝ да нас҄ спдобыть х҃с́, зде̏ прѣи́ти здрáва беспечáлны, бл҃годн҃ьстáвны, не блáзньни, ѿ врáговь дш҃евныих ҆и тѣле́сныих.	so that Christ will find us worthy, here (beyond?) to come healthy, without despair, virtuous, not seduced by enemies of the soul and of the body
571:	тáможе нас҄ да спдо́бить вѣчнаáго ҆єго̀ црс҄твыа.	there He will make us worthy of His eternal Kingdom
572:	҆ꙗко Томꙋ пдобаеть слв҄а чс҄тыи ҆и покланꙗ́нїе, съ безначе́лным ҆єго̀ ҆оц҃емь. ҆и прѣст҃мь ҆и бл҃гымь, ҆и жи́вотво́рещїимь ҆єго̀ дх҃омь.	for His is the glory, honor and respect, with beginning-less Father of Him, and with Most Holy and good and life-giving Spirit
	нн҃ꙗ ҆и прс҄но ҆и въ вѣкы̀ вѣкѡм,	now and ever and forever
