| 3: | Vъ zemli serbskoĭ, blizъ grada Kalikrátıę, bě vésь naricáemaę Épıvatъ, | In the land of Serbia, next to the city of Kallikratia, there was a village called Epibates |
| 4: | v' tóĭ Vési rodí sę st҃áę î Prpd҃bnaę Paraskévïa, wt rodíteleĭ bl҃go-čestívyxъ, | in that village, the holy reverend Parascheve was born to pious parents |
| xodę́štixъ vo vsě́xъ zápwvědexъ Bž҃ıixъ ne uklónno, | following all the Divine commands without going astray | |
| ml͒tinęmi î bl҃gotvorén'mi vsju svojù oûkra-šájuštix' žíznь: | making their lives beautiful by alms and good deeds | |
| 5: | ʾí že î sı´ju vospitáša čs҃tuju Golubı´cu Xv҃u v' podóbněxъ nrávěxъ, | and they raised this good, pure dove of Christ in good manners |
| 6: | î zákonu Bž҃ıju dóbrě tu nakazávše, | and after they taught her the Divine Law well |
| v' Nb͒nyę preĭdẃša ôbíteli, | they went over to the heavenly dwellings | |
| naslědnicu dómu ŵstávl'še Paraskévïju sъ Brátomъ Eѵѳímïemъ, | leaving Petka as the heiress to their house behind, together with (her) brother Euthymius | |
| ʾí že poslě́žde Ep͒pъ Madítu bystь, | who afterwards became the bishop of Madit | |
| 7: | î mnwga î pre-slávna sotvorì támw čudesà v' životě̀ svoémъ î po- prestavlénïi. | and he did there many famous miracles |
| 8: | Prpdbnaę oûbw po smérti rwdíteleĭ svoix, tě́snyĭ î priskórbnyĭ pútь načátь proxodíti, | as the Reverend (Petka) sent her parents to the God well |
| 9: | î st҃yx' oûsérdno vozrevnovà žítïju, | and she staunchly desired to live as an apostle |
| póstom' î bdénïem' oûmerštvlę́ę tě́lo svoè, | conquering the (desires of the?) body by fasting and staying awake, by hardships and laying on the ground | |
| î poraboštáę ʾè dx҃ovi. | and subduing it to the spirit | |
| 10: | wt sjúdu î Bž͒tvénnym razžégši sę želánïem', | from now on, being engulfed by her divine desire |
| ne sterpě na mnẃzě v' mnogomętežnom mı´rě žíti, | she couldn't torment herself anymore by living in this troubled world | |
| 11: | no vsę̀ ŵstávl'ši bě́gu jat sę, | and, leaving everything behind, began to run away (ʺtook a runʺ) |
| 12: | î pustýnju dostígši, ravno ʾágg҃lnoe provoždáše žítïe, | and, as she reached the desert, she lived an equally angelic life there |
| Bgo҃vídca Ilïju î İwánna Kr͒títelę podražáę: | imitating the life of Prophet Eliah and John the Baptist | |
| býlïe tóčïju pustýnnoe v'kušájušti, | eating only the desert herbs | |
| î segẁ źě́lo málo: | and even of that only a bit | |
| 13: | stúdenïju že î źnóem' bě îstaeváę, | she was exposed to cold and heat as well |
| 14: | î kъ êdínomu tóčïju v'ziráše sps҃tì mogúštemu wt malodúšïę î búrę smirennyę srdcemъ. | and she looked towards the only one capable of saving from ʺthe tempest and the stormʺ |
| 15: | kto ʾúbw toę̀ ʾí že togdà îspově́st' sleznyĭ îstóčnikъ? | for who would (be able to) tell of that well of tears? |
| 16: | stenánïa že částaę î ne prestáemaę kto skážetъ? | and who tells of (her) frequent and endless moanings |
| 17: | nízulěgánïę î oûmerštvlénïę vsegdášnaę kto îzrečétъ? | who will tell of her prostrations and her torment? |
| 18: | ne bě́ bw támw ʾínogw kogẁ, vsę ta smatrę́ti mogúštago, ʾjá že tvorę́še Prpdbnaę: tóčïju vse vidę́štee ʾóko bž҃ıe. | for there was no one able to see her but only that all-seeing eye (of God) |
| 19: | ne bě̀ tóĭ támo popečénïę ô sustě̀ mı´rstěĭ, tóčïju ô dš҃évnomъ ôčišténïi, î ŵ wtvě́tě búduštagw súda, ô strěténïi Ženixóvě: | there was no care for worldly vanities (?), only about purifying (her) soul, about the answers at the Last Judgement, for the meeting with the Bridegroom |
| tebè ženíše moĭ îštù gl҃jušti: | saying: ʺyou, o my bridegroom, do I wantʺ | |
| î tò ʾé že v' Pě́snex Pě́snïĭ, výnu vъ ʾúmě nosę́šti: | and also that (verse) in the Song (of the songs), which she always beared in her mind | |
| 21: | Vozvěstíte mi êgẃ že vozljubì dš҃à moę̀. | ʺtell me about him, whom my soul lovesʺ |
| 22: | ô sémъ bolěznováše, kákw oûkrasít' světílnik svoĭ, | she worried often about how to make her lamp prettily |
| î s' mdrimi dv҃ami îzyĭdetъ vъ strěténïe Ženixù, | how she goes to meet the Bridegroom | |
| î oûslýšit' sládkïĭ glasъ êgẁ, | how she'll notice the sweet voice of her Bridegroom | |
| î nasladít sę zrě́nïę krasotỳ êgẁ, | how she'll enjoy his beauty | |
| 23: | ô sem tóčïju pečáše sę gl҃jušti: | she cared only for this, saying: |
| 24: | Kogdà prïĭdù î jâvljú sę licù Bž҃ıju. | ʺwhen can I go and meet the God?ʺ |
| 25: | tákw ʾéĭ živúšteĭ v' pustyně, lukávyĭ vragъ zavidę́še dobrodě́telem êę̀, | as she lived thus in the desert, the evil enemy was jealous of her virtues |
| 26: | î tštáše sę mečtánïami î prividě́nïami ûstrašíti jû: | and he tried to scare her by dreams and apparitions |
| 27: | množíceju bw v' razlíčnya źvě́ry sebè pretvorívъ na st҃úju oûstre-mlę́še sę, da bỳ ʾéĭ spónu wttečénïa vozmógl' sotvoríti: | and, turning himself often to various beasts, he charged against the saint, trying to make her to leave (the desert) |
| 28: | no dóbraa nevě́sta Xv҃a Paraskévïę, Výšnęgw položì pribě́žište sebě̀, | but the good Petka ʺmade the Most High her dwellingʺ |
| 29: | î êgẁ pómoštïju, Kr͒tà že st҃ágw známenïem', vragì progonę́še, | and by His help, as well as by the sign of Holy Cross, she routed all enemies |
| 30: | î vsę̀ kózni êgẁ ʾjákože ně́kuju paučínu rasterzà î do koncà nizložì, | and she broke and laid low all the enemy machinations as a spider web |
| 31: | v' žénskom bo ʾésts҃tvě, múžeskïĭ stęžávši rázumъ, ákože Dv҃ídъ Golïáda, táko ônà dïávola pobědì. | thus, having gained the manly cunning in the nature of a woman, she defeated the Devil, as David (once defeated) Goliath |
| 32: | sícevymi pódvi-gami î dobrodě́telnym' žítïem' svojù ûkrasívši dš҃u, bystь Xrs҃tù vozljublénnaę nevě́sta, ʾjáko îspolníti sę slóvu Proróčeskomu: | by such deeds and virtuous life she became the beloved bride of the Christ, as to fulfill the prophecy: |
| 33: | Voždelě́etъ Cr҃ь dobrotě̀ tvoéĭ. | ʺLet the king be enthralled by your beautyʺ |
| 34: | îbw vselí sę v' nju sъ Wtc҃ém' î st҃ým' Dx҃om', | for He settled in her with the Father and the Holy Spirit |
| 35: | î počiváše v' néĭ ʾjákwže vъ Crk҃vě st҃ě́ĭ svoéĭ, | and He dwelt in her as in His holy Church |
| 36: | vʾo ístinnu bw st҃áę Paraskévïę sotvorí sę Cr҃kovъ Bg҃a živágw, dš҃u î tě́lo sobljúdši bez' grěxà î bez' skvérny. | truly St. Parascheva made herself into a temple of the Living God, holding her soul and body without a sin and taint |
| 37: | Egdà že prebýst' lě́ta dovolna v' pustýni: | and as she lived for many years in the desert |
| vъ êdínu wt nóštïĭ, sta na ml҃ítvě po ôbýčaju svoému, | one night she stood in prayer according to her customs | |
| 38: | î rúcě ná Nb҃o sъ ûmilénïemъ vozdě́vši, | and having raised her hands with love towards the heavens |
| oûzrě̀ Agg҃la Bž҃ıa vъ ôbrazě jûnóši presvě́tlagw, | she saw an angel of God in an image of a shining youth | |
| ʾí že prišédъ k' neĭ rečè: | who, having come to her, said: | |
| 39: | pustýnju ôstávi, | ʺleave the desertʺ |
| 40: | î vъ wtčestvo vozvratí sę, | ʺand return to your fatherlandʺ |
| 41: | támo bo tebě̀ podobáet' tě́lo zemlì wtdáti, | ʺfor there it's appropriate for you to leave the body in the groundʺ |
| dx҃ъ že v' ne vešte-stvénnaę prevestì selénïa. | ʺand to transfer your spirit to the immaterial realmʺ | |
| 42: | Prpdbnaę ʾoúbw razsmo-trě́vši vidénïa sílu, î razumě́vši ʾjáko povelě́nïe to wt Bg҃a ʾéstъ: | as the Reverend saw the power of the apparition, and as she understood that it was from God |
| rádovaše sę ŵ tělésnom' raspręžénïi, | she rejoiced about being freed from the body | |
| 43: | pe-čalováše že ŵ ôstavlénïi pustýni, | but she was worried about leaving the desert |
| 44: | ničtó že bo táko dš҃u ôčištáetъ: î vъ pervʾoóbraznoe privódit', ʾjákwže pustýnę î bez'mól'vïe. | for nothing else purifies the soul and brings it to the primordial (perfection) than the desert and the silence |
| 45: | ôbáče î ne xotę́šti pústýnju ôstávi, | but even though she didn't want to leave the desert, she returned to the world |
| 46: | î kъ crstvújuštomu prišédši Grádu, v' prekrásny Xram' Prmdrosti Bž҃ıa v'nı´ĭde. | and as she arrived to Tsarigrad (ʺthe reigning cityʺ), she entered the beautiful temple of the Divine Wisdom |
| 47: | tákožde î v' Bg҃oródičnoĭ ʾjá že vъ Vlaxérnaxъ Crk҃vi byst, | and she was also in the church of the Mother of God, which is in Blachernae |
| 48: | î támw Bg҃u î Prečs҃těĭ Bg҃omáteri poklonívši sę, póĭde vъ wtčestvo svoè Epѵvát'. | and, as she gave bowed there to God and the most pure Mother of God, she went to her fatherland Epibates |
| îdě́že ně́koe poživè vrémę ne îzměnę́a pu-stýnnagw svoégw trúda, pošténïa že î ml҃ítov'. | where she lived for some time, not changing her desert work, fasting and prayers | |
| 49: | tá že prispě́všu ʾé že kъ Bu҃ êę̀ wtšéstvïju, pom҃lí sę prilě́žno ô sebě̀ že î ô vsémъ mı´rě, | and as she understood that she was going to pass herself to God, she prayed appropriately for herself and the whole world |
| 50: | î tákw bl҃žénnuju svojù dš҃u v' Rucě predadè Bž҃ıi. | and thus she gave her blessed soul to God's hands |
| 51: | tě́lo že êę po ôbýčaju xr͒tïán-skomu v' zemlě̀ na mě́stě ne naročítomъ pogrebénnw byst vě́rnymi. | and her body was buried in the soil on a non-exceptional place by some believers according to the Christian custom |
| 52: | xotę́ že Bь҃ prosláviti oûgódnicu svojù, jâvì po mnẃzěxъ' lě́tex st҃ýa ʾéę móšti sícevym ʾóbrazom: | but as God wanted to praise His saint, He showed her relics after many years in the following way: |
| 53: | stólpnik ně́kïĭ, blizь togẁ mě́sta, îdě́že Prpdnaę pogrebénna byst: na stolpě̀ bez'mol'stvováše. | a stylite was praying silently on a pillar somewhere near the place, where the Reverend was buried |
| 54: | slučí sę že korabléniku ně́koemu plovúštu, î nédugomъ ljútymъ bolě́všu î skončávšu sę, tu ně́gdě poveržénnu býti. | and it happened to one sailor, who was sailing, and who became direly ill, and died, to be thrown somewhere there |
| 55: | načát' že wt trúpa êgẁ smradъ îsxodíti bezmě́renъ, ʾjákw ne moštì nikómu že îtì putém' těm. | and a stench began to come out of his corpse so powerful, that nobody could pass by the road there |
| 56: | ne možáše že î stólpnik sterpě́ti smráda ʾónagw, | nor the stylite could suffer the stench any longer |
| 57: | î núžda bě êmù rádi togò smráda wt stolpà snïĭtì. | and it became a necessity for him to descend from the pillar because of the stench |
| 58: | povelě́ že ně́kïim' čl҃vě́komъ rovъ îskopáti glubókъ, î smerdęštïĭ ʾónyĭ támw vovreštì trúpъ. | and he commanded some people to dig a deep grave and to throw there that stinking corpse |
| 59: | î êgdà kopáša čl҃vě́ci róvъ, po smotrénïju Bž҃ïju, ŵbrětẃša tě́lo ne tlě́nnw v' zemlì ležáštee, | and as those people dug the grave, by the God's grace they found an undecayed body laying in the ground |
| 60: | î oûdivlę́xu sę ne tlě́nïju tě́la togò. | and they were amazed by the lack of decay of the body |
| 61: | ôbáče ne îskúsni î ne vě́ži súšte, slučívšee sę ʾjákože ně́kuju malúju î ničesó že súštuju véšt' prezrě́ša, | but as they were unexperienced and unwise, they ignored what happened as a small thing, which does not matter |
| 62: | gl҃axu bo k' sebě̀: | for they said to each other: |
| 63: | ʾášte by st҃o bylò sïe tě́lo, wtkrílъ by ʾoúbw Bg҃ъ čudesì jâkovými; | ʺif that was a holy body, God would show it by some miraclesʺ |
| 64: | î páki zasýpaša ʾè zemléju, | and they covered it by the soil again |
| 65: | támožde î smer-dę́štagw vrínuvše trúpa, wtîdẃša v' dómy svoę̀. | having thrown there the stinking corpse too, they went away to their homes |
| 66: | prišédšeĭ že nóšti, Geẃrgïĭ ně́ktw wt níxъ. múžъ Xr͒toljubívъ v' domù svoémъ ml҃ę́še sę Bg҃u. | in that night, George, one of them, a Christ-loving man, prayed to God in his house |
| 67: | î kъ ʾoútru oûsnúvъ, vídě vidě́nïe: | and having fallen asleep by the morning, he saw a vision: |
| 68: | mnę́še sę Carícu ně́kuju na presvě́tlomъ sědę́štuju Prestólě zrě́ti, | it appeared to him to see a queen sitting on a shiny throne |
| î mnẃžestvw mnógw svě́tlyxъ vẃinъ ʾókrestъ toę̀ stoę́štixъ: | and a great number of shiny soldiers staying around her | |
| 69: | ʾíxъ že Xr͒toljubívyĭ ʾónъ čl҃vě́kъ víděvъ, stráxomъ ŵbę́t' býst', | and as that Christ-loving man saw them, he was overtaken by fear |
| 70: | î ná zemlju sebè poveržè, ne mogïĭ svě́tlo-sti î krasotỳ ʾónoę zrě́ti. | and he threw himself on the ground, unable to watch their shine and beauty |
| 71: | êdínъ že wt svě́tlyxъ tě́xъ vẃinovъ, ʾémъ êgẁ za rúku, vozdvižè gl҃ę: | and one of the shiny warriors raised him by having seized him by arm, saying: |
| 72: | Geẃrgïe, voskúju tákw prezrě́ste tě́lw Prpdbnyę Paraskévïi, î pogrebẃste s' nímъ trúpъ smerdę́štïĭ? | ʺo George, why did you thus ignore the body of Reverend Petka and buried it with a stinking corpse?ʺ |
| 73: | vo skórě ʾoúbo to îzémše, na čestnomъ položě́te mě́stě, | ʺso quickly take it and place it on a honorable placeʺ |
| 74: | ʾíbw vosxotě̀ Bg҃ъ prosláviti Rabù svojù na zemlì. | ʺbecause God wants to make His servant famous on the Earthʺ |
| 75: | tákožde î Svě́tlaę ta Cr҃íca gl҃a êmù: | also the shiny queen spoke to him: |
| 76: | vo skórě îzemši Mẃšti moę̀, v' naročítwmъ položě́te mě́stě, | ʺhaving quickly taken my relics, place (them) on a due placeʺ |
| 77: | ne mogù bo na mnẃzě źlosmrádïę ʾónago tělesè terpě́ti: | ʺfor I cannot stand the stench of that body anymoreʺ |
| 78: | ʾíbw î ʾázъ čl҃vě́kъ ʾésmъ, | ʺbecause I am a human tooʺ |
| 79: | î wtčestvw moè ʾést' Epivatъ, îdě́že vy nn҃ě žitelstvúete. | ʺand my fatherland is Epibates, where you are living nowʺ |
| 80: | toę́žde nošti î ženà ně́kaę čéstna ʾímenem' Eѵfímïa, tóžde vidě́nïe vidě̀, | in the same night, a honorable woman called Euphemia saw the same vision |
| 81: | î ôbói na ʾoútrïe vsě́mъ ljudémъ víděnnaę skazáša. | and in the morning the both told to all the people about what they have seen |
