455:	i jakože iskopa sъtvori metania kъ starcu	and as he finished digging, he did a prayer towards the elder
456:	i vъnide vъnutrъ pustini	and he went into the desert
457:	starcъ že pogrebe tělo stie tamo ideže ju obrěšte	the elder then buried the body of the saint where he found her
458:	i vъzvrati se vъ monastirъ slavešti i pojušti ba	and he returned to the monastery praising and singing to God
459:	nъ igumenъ ioannъ obrěte mnogaa prěgrěšenia vъ monastiri jakože rče sta	but abbot John found many sins in the monastery, as the saint said
460:	tamo bo vъ tom mostiri skonča se starcъ zosima *r* lět starosti	the elder Zosima passed away there in that monastery (being) 100 years old
461:	sia sutъ děla bludnici ljubimici	These are the deeds of the harlot, my dear
462:	si sut dobroděteli ouničiženie ženi	these are the virtues of a despicable woman
463:	bludnica po istině bě	she was truly a harlot
464:	nъ i velikie dobrodětelie ee spdobiše ju vъ crstvi nbsněmъ	but also her great virtues made her worthy for (in) the Kingdom of Heaven
465:	grěšnaa bě	she was sinful
466:	nъ i pokaaniemъ spse se	but she saved herself by penance
467:	zane da vidimъ kako posti se	so that we see her fasting
468:	da vdimъ kako trudi se	so (that) we see how she worked
469:	ne bě li taa grěšnica	wasnʹt she a sinner?
470:	ne bě li i ta uničižena	wasnʹt she contemptous?
471:	sego radi i i mi da pokaem se o grěsěx našix	for this reason, also we should repent about our sins
472:	i da ne pademъ vъ otčaanie ašte i jakože peskъ morskii sut sъgrěšenia naša	and we should not fall into depression, if you sins are numerous as the sand of the sea
473:	něst ni edinъ grěx ideže bolitъ mlstъ bžia	there is no sin, which surpasses (?) the mercy of God
474:	niže est nikoe prěgrěšenie iže ne ispravljaet se pokaaniemъ	nor is there any transgression, which cannot be amended by penance
475:	priemlet bъ pokaaniemъ vъsakomu	God accepts the penance of anyone
476:	tъčiju prilěžne da obratim se	(he needs) only to turn away (from the sin) accordingly
477:	sъ vъsem srdcemъ da kaem se	let us repent with all heart
478:	i priemletъ nas bъ	and God will accept us
479:	jako est mlsrdъ i mngo mlstivъ	because he is gracious and very merciful
480:	i da ne glemъ jako da tvorim grěxi mnogi i poslěžde xoštem kaati se	and let us not say that we should do many sins and afterwards we will repent
481:	jako kto trъžъstvuetъ tako spsenie ego ne spdobljaetъ bъ takovago pokaati se	who makes such a trade out of salvation, God does not make him worthy to repent
482:	i čto věmъ ašte i do včera umrem	and do we know, whether we will not die until the evening?
483:	ili kogda razuměimъ čas sъmrъti našei	or when we will know the hour of our death?
484:	sego radi povelě gъ vъ stmъ eѵglii	that is why the Lord said in the holy Gospel:
485:	bdite jako ne věstě dnъ ni čas vъ nže snъ člčski priidet	Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming (Mt 25:13 NKJV)
486:	i poneže ne věmi čas sъmrъti našei da ne lenim se spsenia našego	and because we do not know the hour of our death, let us not be lazy about our salvation
487:	da ne otčaim se dobroti dši našei	let us not despair about the good of our souls
488:	zane lěnostъ nikogda dobro ne ispravljaetъ	because sloth never does any good
489:	nikogda blgo ne sъvrъšaetъ niže tělesnoe niže dševnoe	it never finishes any good: neither corporeal, nor spiritual
490:	i jakože kto ašte oblěnit se nivě svoei ili loziju svoemu i ne okopavaetъ ju pogubljaetъ se ot trъniemъ i biliemъ	(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:	tako est i vъ dši vъsakomu xrstianinu	so it is also with the soul of every Christian
492:	egda oblěnit se člkъ dělaniju bžiju i prinošenie dši ego abie pogibaetъ dša člku onomu ot pomišlenia zla ot mъčtania běsovska i ot ina naxoždenia lukava	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:	sego radi podbaetъ ne leniti se dobroti dše našei	that is why it is good not to be lazy about the goodness of our soul
494:	i glemъ	and (it is not good to) speak:
495:	dnsъ grěxi da sъtvaraemъ	let us do sins today
496:	i zautra xoštem pokaati se	and tomorrow we will repent
497:	vъ junosti našei da sъgrěšenie tvorim	let us sin in our youth
498:	i vъ starosti našei xoštemъ kaati se	and we will repent in our old age
499:	zane takova pomišlenia sut lukavago diavola iže dobroti dšamъ našim ne xoštet	because such thoughts are from the evil Devil, who does not want the good for our souls
500:	ašte vъ junosti našei ne xoštem pokaati se ideže možem rabotati kanona dxovnika našego	if we will not repent in our youth, where we can work according to our religion (regulations of our clergy ?)
	kako pokaem se vъ starosti našei ideže ne moštni tělesem našeimъ	then, how we will (be able to) repent in our old age, when we are bodily weak?
	iže ne možemъ niže pokaati se niže postiti se niže bděti niže ini trud tvoriti grěx radi našix	then, we can neither repent, nor fast, nor stay awake, nor perform any work for the sake of our sins
501:	nnja ideže imami vrěme	(it is) now, when we have time
502:	nnja da pokaem se vъsako	(it is) now (the time) to do any penance
503:	dnsъ ideže tvorimъ grěxi dnsъ ispovědaim se	today we sin, today we confess
504:	zane jakože glet prěmǫdri solomonъ	because, as the most wise Solomon says:
	ne věmi čto raditъ zautra	we know not what (will be there) to do tomorrow (cf. Preacher 7:14)
505:	sirečъ ne věmi čto xoštet biti daže do utra	that is, we do not know, what will be even tomorrow
506:	da ne javljaemъ sebe jako besъmrъtni	let us not consider ourselves to be deathless
507:	da ne sъgrěšaemъ jako eže ne xoštem umreti kogda	let us not sin as if we were not ever going to die
508:	nъ razuměvaimъ jako kratkъ i vrěmeni est životъ naš	but let us understand that our life is short and temporal
	da ispravim sami sebě	let us mend ourselves
509:	da otvratim volju našu vъ blgoe	let us turn our will to good
510:	da izměnim oumišlenia naša kъ polzi dši našei	let us change our thoughts for the profit of our soul
511:	ne pomišljaimъ tъkmo kako obogatiti se ili kako oblěšti se ili kako pitati se	Let us not think only about how to get rich or clothe or feed ourselves
512:	nъ pače množae da pomišljaimъ kako ugoditi xu kako da sъvrъšim dobrodětelъ kako da ulučim crstvie nbsnoe	but let us think more about how to please Christ, how to gain virtue, how to receive the Kingdom of Heaven
513:	zane i gъ tako namъ zapověda vъ stmъ eѵglii	because thus tells us the Lord in the Holy Gospel
514:	i gletъ	and He says:
515:	ne pecete se dšeju vašeju što jaste ili čto piete niže tělom vašimъ vъ čto oblěcěte se	do not worry in your souls, what you will eat˸ or about your body, what you will wear (Lk 12:22)
516:	ne dša li bolše est pišti i tělo oděždi	is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? (23)
517:	sireč ne pomišljaite vъnutrъ dšax vašix čto jaste ili piete	that is: do not worry inside your souls, what you will eat or drink
518:	niže iměite pomišlenia vъ čto oblěčete telěsi vašego	nor think of in what you clothe your body
519:	něst li dša vaša bolšaa ot astia	is not the soul more than food?
520:	něst li tělesa vaša bolša ot oděžde	is not your body more than the clothes?
521:	skazuetъ jako eže oumišljaetě radi jastia iže něst ničtože kako ne pecěte se i dše svoee radi iže est vešt čъstněiša vъsego mira	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:	i paki povelě po dolě gъ	and again, he says below:
523:	vъzrite na ptici nbsni	look at the heavenly birds (Lk 12:24)
524:	jako ni sejutъ	they do not sow
525:	ni žnut	nor they reap
526:	ni sъbirajutъ vъ žitnici	nor they have no barn
527:	i otcъ vašъ nbsnii pitaetъ e	and your heavenly Father feeds them
528:	ne vi li lučšii estě oněx	are you not better than these?
529:	kto že li ot vas pešti se možetъ priložiti vъzrastu svoemu lъkatъ edinъ	and who among you can add a cubit to your life? (25)
530:	sirěč viditě na ptice ideže lětajutъ po vъzduxu	that is: you see (to) the birds, which (where) they fly in the sky
531:	kako ni sějutъ	as they do not sow
532:	ni žnut	nor they reap
533:	niže sъbirajutъ vъ žitnice	nor they have no barn to collect in
534:	i bъ otcъ vъsem pitaetъ texъ	and God the All-Father feeds them with everything
535:	vi že bo člci ne izměnenili estě množae ot těx	are you not, humans, better than these?
536:	kto že li ot vasъ umisliti možet priložiti tělesi svoemu lъkat edin	and who among you, worrying, can add a cubit to your body?
537:	i paki povělě	and again, he speaks:
538:	o oděžde čto pečete se	why are you anxious about clothes?
539:	vъzrite na krini selnie	look at the wild flowers (Lk 12:27-28)
540:	kako rastǫtъ	how they grow
541:	ne truždajut se	they do not labor
542:	ni prědut	nor they spin
543:	glju že vamъ	yet I tell you
544:	jako ni solomonъ vъ vsei slavě svoei oblěče se jako edinъ ot six	not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these
545:	ašte že seno selnoe dnsъ sušte i utre vъ peštъ vъlagaemo bъ tako ostavljaetъ kolmi pače vasъ malověri	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:	sirěč počto radi umišljaete radi odežde	that is: why do you think of clothes?
547:	pone razuměite cvětie polskoe	think at least of the wild flowers
548:	kako rastut	how they grow
549:	ne truždajut se	they do not labor
550:	niže prědut	nor they spin
551:	glju vamъ	yet I tell you
552:	jakože ni solomonъ vъ mnozěx ego krasotax i čъsti ne oblěče se jakože edinъ ot six oblěšti se takovoju krasotu jakože sut oukrašenna cvětia	not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these
553:	ašte že sěno polskoe ideže dnsъ est i zautra vъlagajutъ vъ peštъ i sъgaraetъ bъ oděvaetъ i oukrašaetъ tako koliko pače vas malověri ne xoštet li vi oblěšti	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:	ne oubo pečete se gljušte čto jami ili čto piemъ ili čimъ oblěcěm se	do not worry, saying , ʹwhat we eatʹ or ʹwhat we drinkʹ or ʹwhat to put onʹ (cf. Lk 12:29-30)
555:	vъsěx bo six ezičnici ištut	for this is what the heathens want
556:	věstъ bo otcъ vašъ nbsnii jako trěbuete vъsa siix	and your Father knows that you need them
557:	ištete prěžde crstvia bžia i pravdi ego	seek first His Kingdom and His truth
558:	i sia vъsa priložit se vam	and this all will be included
559:	sireč proče ne pomišljaite gljušte što jami ili čto piemъ ili čimъ oděždim se	that is: do not worry, saying , ʹwhat we eatʹ or ʹwhat we drinkʹ or ʹwhat to put onʹ
560:	zane sia vъsa ęzici ištut	for this is what all the heathens want
561:	zane bъ otcъ vašъ iže est na nbsěxъ věstъ trěbovania sia vъsa	and your Father knows that you need them
562:	sego radi ištete prъvěe crstvie bžie i pravdi ego	thus seek first His Kingdom and His truth
563:	i sia vъsa sъviše podaet se	and this all will be given to you from above
564:	proče i imi ljubimici ne pomišljaimъ takovaa	let us think us too, my dear
565:	nъ dšamъ našim prinošenia da pomišljaimъ	but let us think of spiritual gain
566:	spseniju našemu da poučaim se	let us gain knowledge for the sake of salvation
567:	dšamъ našim da potaštim se kako pitaniixъ sъ slovom bžiemъ	let us struggle for the sake of our souls by feeding them with the Word of God
568:	dšamъ našim da potъštim se kako napoiti ix sъ učeniemъ bgougodnix	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:	dši naše da ponudim kako oblěšti se sъ dobrodětelmi	let us train our souls how to clothe themselves in virtues
570:	radi da nas spdobitъ xs zde prěiti zdrava bespečalni blgodnъstavni ne blaznъni ot vragovъ dševniix i tělesniix	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:	tamože nas da spdobitъ věčnaago ego crstvia	there He will make us worthy of His eternal Kingdom
572:	jako tomu pdobaetъ slva čstii i poklanjanie sъ beznačelnim ego ocemъ i prěstmъ i blgimъ i životvoreštiimъ ego dxomъ	for His is the glory, honor and respect, with beginning-less Father of Him, and with Most Holy and good and life-giving Spirit
