434:	Prílično pákъ sa čjúdeši sъ štó da kupáĭ země´ ta.	and also he wondered how to dig the ground
435:	I támъ vídě málko drъvo, dolu na zemę´ ta farlinu,	and he saw there a small piece of wood thrown on the ground

458:	Amí i igumeno tъ Joánnъ namě´ri mnógo grě´ški na manastírju t, kató béši rékla svetáę	but abbot John found many sins in the monastery, as the saint said
459:	Tamъ ístina na ónzyĭ monastírъ umré stárico tъ Zosïmá stó godíni starecъ.	the old man Zosima passed away there in that monastery (being) 100 years old
460:	Tézy sa ráboti tě na blúdnica ta, blagoslovéni xristiáni,	these are the deeds of the harlot, blessed Christians
461:	túĭ sa dobrí te ĭ ráboti na očaęna ta žená,	these are the virtues of the desperate woman
462:	kúrva istiná béši,	she was truly a harlot

464:	grě´šna béši,	she was sinful
465:	amí pokaę´nïe tu ĭ spasí.	but she saved herself by penance
466:	Da vídimi kákъ pósti,	may we see her fasting

468:	ne lí béši i tïjá grě´šna,	wasn't she a sinner?
469:	ne lí béši i tïa očáęna,	wasn't she desperate?
470:	rádi túĭ i nyé da sa pokáĭmъ ot sъ-grěšénïe,	for this reason, also we should repent about our sins
471:	(n/a)
472:	(n/a)
473:	da ni sa isprávi ot pokaę´nïe to.	(nor is there any transgression, which) would not be corrected by penance
474:	Prïę´ma bogъ pokaę´nïe to sékimu edno,	God accepts the penance of anyone
475:	skóposno da sa vrъ´čimi	let us duly turn away
476:	sasъ síčko to ni srъdce da sa pokáĭmъ,	let us repent with all our heart
477:	prïé-ma ni bogъ,	God accepts us
478:	zaštó e milosrъ´dъ	because he is gracious
	i mnogo, mnogo milostivъ.	and very, very merciful
479:	I da ne kázuvamę, zaštó da stórimi sъgrěšénie mnógo i na sétně štemъ sa pokáę,	and let us not say that we should do many sins and afterwards we will repent
480:	zaštó kóĭto trъgúva tь´ĭ spasénïe to si, ne gó spodobě´va bogъ da sa pokáĭ.	who makes such a trade out of salvation, God does not make him worthy to repent
481:	I štó znáĭmъ, ako noštésъ umrémъ?	and do we know, whether we will not die in the night?
482:	I kogi poznávami časa tъ sъmrъ´tny?	and when do we know the hour of our death?
483:	Radi túĭ zapovědá i gospodь na svetóe evangelïe:	that is why the Lord said in the holy Gospel:
484:	bdíte,	ʺWatch therefore,ʺ
	jako ne víděti denju tъ netí čásu, kogí šte sinъ čelověčeskii da dódi.	ʺfor you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is comingʺ (Mt 25:13 NKJV)
485:	I legomý ne znáĭmъ čása tъ samrъtny,	and because we do not know the hour of our death, let us not be lazy about our salvation
	da ni sá uleně´vami na dobró to na dušá ta náša,	let us not despair about (the good of our souls)
486:	(n/a)
487:	zaštó lěnívstvo níkoga dobró ni stóri,	because sloth never does any good
488:	níkogi blago ne sъvrъši netí telě´sno, etí dušévnu.	it never finishes any good: neither corporeal, nor spiritual
489:	I kató kogí sa ulení ně´koĭ (na) níva ta si ilí lózi to si i ne gú pokupáĭ, zaguběva sa ot trъ´nïę i trevá,	(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:	tь´ĭ é i na dušá ta na sékigo xristiánina,	so it is also with the soul of every Christian
491:	kogí, sa ulení čelověkъ na rábo-ta ta božia i dubivani tu na dušá ta mu, zagoběva sa dušá ta na čelově´ka tokъ onogózi (ot) rázumъ zlъ i ot myslyĭ dïávolskïĭ i ot drúgo pripádnuvani lukávno.	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:	Radi túĭ prilíča, da ni sá uleně´vami na dobró tu dušévno naši	that is why it is good not to be lazy about what is good for our soul
493:	i da kazuvami	and (it is not appropriate) to speak:
494:	dnes da sьgrěšími	ʺlet us do sins todayʺ
495:	i útrě štémь sa pokáęĭ,	ʺand tomorrow we will repentʺ
496:	na mladiná ta ni da stóri(m) sьgrěšénïe	ʺlet us sin in our youthʺ
497:	i na starost ni štémь sa pokáęĭ.	ʺand we will repent in our old ageʺ
498:	Zaštó takv'zi míslь ę´ti na dïavola tokъ, détu níkogi dobró na duša ta ni i détu i ni šté ę.	because such thoughts are from the evil Devil, who does not want the good for our souls
499:	Akó na mladiná ta ni ni štémi da sa pokáęmi, détu móžimь da rábotimъ i da svršímь duxóv-nïju zápovědь,	if we will not repent in our youth, where we can work according to our religion
	kak' štémъ da sá pokáĭmь, kogí ostáręmь, détu stáni ne- móštna snagá ta ni,	then, how we will (be able to) repent in our old age, when we are bodily weak?
	détu véki ne móžimь netýĭ da sa pokáĭmь netýĭ da póstimь netýĭ da stóri(mь) bdě´nïe, netí drúgi trúdь da stórimь rádi grěxové te si.	when we can neither repent, nor fast, nor stay awake, nor perform any work for the sake of our sins
500:	Nině, détu imámi vrě´me,	now, when we have time
501:	níně da sa pokáĭmь.	now we should do any penance
502:	Dnésъ détu stórixmi grě´xъ, dnésь da sé ispově´dami.	today, when we sin, today we should confess
503:	Zaštó kato káže i pre-múdry Solomónь,	because, as the most wise Solomon says:
	ne znáĭmь što šté stána do utrě´,	ʺwe know not what (will be there) to do tomorrowʺ (cf. Preacher 7:14)
504:	kogí ne znáĭmź, što šté ni dó do utrě.	when we do not know, what will come until tomorrow
505:	Da ni sá poságami kató bezsmrъ´tny˸	let us not consider ourselves to be deathless
506:	da ni sagrě-šávami kató dé ni štém' da umrémь níkogi.	let us not sin as if we were not ever going to die
507:	Amí i kólko poznávatъ malovrémenıĭ tozýĭ životъ.	but at least as they (?) understand our short life (that our life is short?)
	da isprávim' sě´be si,	let us mend ourselves
508:	da si vrь´nim i vólę ta na dobró,	let us turn our will to good
509:	da sí vrьnimi ennę´ ta na dobiváni na dušá ta náša.	let us change our thoughts for the profit of our soul
510:	a ni sa enьnasovámi ednó, ka' štémь da sa ubogátimь, kákь štemь da sa oblečémь i kák' štémь da sa naxránimь.	and let us not think only about how to get rich or clothe or feed ourselves
511:	Amý po mnógo da sa smí-slimy, kákь da arě´sami na Xristá, kákъ da sъvrь´šimь dobrí te ráboti kákь da sá spodobímь na carstvo nebésnoe.	but let us think more about how to please Christ, how to gain virtue, how to receive the Kingdom of Heaven
512:	Zaštó i gospodь tь´ĭ ni zapovědá na svetoe evangelïe:	because thus tells us the Lord in the Holy Gospel
513:	(n/a)
514:	ni dě´ĭti mísli vьtri na dušá ta si, što da jadéti ilí štó da pıéti,	ʺdo not worry in your souls, what you will eat,ʺ (Lk 12:22)
