	i kakъ za *k* dni pъtъ na edinъ časъ došla svetaę	and (he wondered) how the saint could pass 20 days of walk in an hour
434:	Prilično pakъ sa čjudeši sъ što da kupai země ta	and also he wondered how to dig the ground
435:	I tamъ vidě malko drъvo dolu na zemę ta farlinu	and he saw there a small piece of wood thrown on the ground
436:	i počę sasъ nego da kupai zemę ta	and he began to dig the ground with it (ʺthemʺ)
437:	i ne možeši	and he could not
438:	zašto beši i starъ	because he was old
439:	ami i město tu beši tvrъdě suxъ	but also the place was very dry
440:	I tutъksi gleda ednogo lъva deto ležaši na kraka ta svetie	and suddenly he saw a lion, laying on the saint's legs
441:	(n/a)
442:	i deto reči zašto ni źvěrъ ne ę viděla v četir dese těxъ godini	and (he remembered) as she said, that she did not see a beast for 40 years
443:	Prilično stori krъsto t si	then he crossed himself
444:	i sa naděvaše da ne mu stori zararъ	and he hoped to not harm him
445:	i otgovori kamto lъva tokъ	and he said (ʺansweredʺ) to the lion
446:	i reči	and said:
447:	o źvěrju ne mirni legomi sila ta božia ta donesi tuka	ʺo unpeaceful beast, because the power of God has brought you hereʺ
	da mi pomognišъ kopai zeme ta da pogrebemъ na svetaę mošti tu	ʺhelp me dig the ground (so that I can) bury the relics of the saintʺ
448:	zaštoto az sъmъ starъ	ʺbecause I am oldʺ
449:	i ne moža neti da kupaę	ʺand I cannot (ʺnorʺ) digʺ
450:	i radi tui i ti stori grobo tъ na svetaę	ʺfor this reason, you do make a grave for the saintʺ
451:	Tъi mu reči staricu	thus spoke the old man
452:	i tutaksi lъvo tъ fana sasъ predni tě si kraka	and the lion quickly began (to dig) with his forward legs
453:	iskopa kolko da sa pokrii tělo to na svetaę	(and he) dug so much as needed to cover the body of the saint
454:	I kogi iskopa stori metanie na starca tokъ	and as he finished digging, he did a prayer towards the old man
455:	i vlezi vъtri v poštenie to	and he went into the desert
456:	Ami starica tъ pogrebi mošti tu na svetaę tamъ detu go nameri	the old man then buried the body of the saint where he found her
457:	i sъ vrъna na manastirju tъ	and he returned to the monastery
	slavěši i xvalěši boga	he was praising and singing to God
458:	Ami i igumeno tъ Joannъ naměri mnogo grěški na manastirju t kato beši rekla svetaę	but abbot John found many sins in the monastery, as the saint said
459:	Tamъ istina na onzii monastirъ umre starico tъ Zosima sto godini starecъ	the old man Zosima passed away there in that monastery (being) 100 years old
460:	Tezi sa raboti tě na bludnica ta blagosloveni xristiani	these are the deeds of the harlot, blessed Christians
461:	tui sa dobri te i raboti na očaęna ta žena	these are the virtues of the desperate woman
462:	kurva istina beši	she was truly a harlot
463:	ami golěmi ti raboti spodobixa na carstvo nebesno	but also (her) great virtues made (her) worthy for the Kingdom of Heaven
464:	grěšna beši	she was sinful
465:	ami pokaęnie tu i spasi	but she saved herself by penance
466:	Da vidimi kakъ posti	may we see her fasting
467:	da vidimi kakъ sa podkanii	may we see how she worked
468:	ne li beši i tija grěšna	wasn't she a sinner?
469:	ne li beši i tia očaęna	wasn't she desperate?
470:	radi tui i nie da sa pokaimъ ot sъgrěšenie	for this reason, also we should repent about our sins
471:	(n/a)
472:	(n/a)
473:	da ni sa ispravi ot pokaęnie to	(nor is there any transgression, which) would not be corrected by penance
474:	Prięma bogъ pokaęnie to sekimu edno	God accepts the penance of anyone
475:	skoposno da sa vrъčimi	let us duly turn away

477:	priema ni bogъ	God accepts us
478:	zašto e milosrъdъ	because he is gracious
	i mnogo mnogo milostivъ	and very, very merciful
479:	I da ne kazuvamę zašto da storimi sъgrěšenie mnogo i na setně štemъ sa pokaę	and let us not say that we should do many sins and afterwards we will repent
480:	zašto koito trъguva tъi spasenie to si ne go spodoběva bogъ da sa pokai	who makes such a trade out of salvation, God does not make him worthy to repent
481:	I što znaimъ ako noštesъ umremъ	and do we know, whether we will not die in the night?
482:	I kogi poznavami časa tъ sъmrъtni	and when do we know the hour of our death?
483:	Radi tui zapověda i gospodъ na svetoe evangelie	that is why the Lord said in the holy Gospel:
484:	bdite	ʺWatch therefore,ʺ
	jako ne viděti denju tъ neti času kogi šte sinъ čelověčeskii da dodi	ʺfor you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is comingʺ (Mt 25:13 NKJV)
485:	I legomi ne znaimъ časa tъ samrъtni	and because we do not know the hour of our death, let us not be lazy about our salvation
	da ni sa uleněvami na dobro to na duša ta naša	let us not despair about (the good of our souls)
486:	(n/a)
487:	zašto lěnivstvo nikoga dobro ni stori	because sloth never does any good
488:	nikogi blago ne sъvrъši neti telěsno eti duševnu	it never finishes any good: neither corporeal, nor spiritual
489:	I kato kogi sa uleni někoi na niva ta si ili lozi to si i ne gu pokupai zaguběva sa ot trъnię i treva	(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:	tъi e i na duša ta na sekigo xristianina	so it is also with the soul of every Christian
491:	kogi sa uleni čelověkъ na rabota ta božia i dubivani tu na duša ta mu zagoběva sa duša ta na čelověka tokъ onogozi ot razumъ zlъ i ot mislii diavolskii i ot drugo pripadnuvani lukavno	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 tui priliča da ni sa uleněvami na dobro tu duševno 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 sъgrěšimi	ʺlet us do sins todayʺ
495:	i utrě štemъ sa pokaęi	ʺand tomorrow we will repentʺ
496:	na mladina ta ni da storim sъgrěšenie	ʺlet us sin in our youthʺ
497:	i na starost ni štemъ sa pokaęi	ʺand we will repent in our old ageʺ
498:	Zašto takvzi mislъ ęti na diavola tokъ detu nikogi dobro na duša ta ni i detu i ni šte ę	because such thoughts are from the evil Devil, who does not want the good for our souls
499:	Ako na mladina ta ni ni štemi da sa pokaęmi detu možimъ da rabotimъ i da svršimъ duxovniju zapovědъ	if we will not repent in our youth, where we can work according to our religion
	kak štemъ da sa pokaimъ kogi ostaręmъ detu stani ne moštna snaga ta ni	then, how we will (be able to) repent in our old age, when we are bodily weak?
	detu veki ne možimъ netii da sa pokaimъ netii da postimъ netii da storimъ bděnie neti drugi trudъ da storimъ radi grěxove te si	when we can neither repent, nor fast, nor stay awake, nor perform any work for the sake of our sins
500:	Nině detu imami vrěme	now, when we have time
501:	nině da sa pokaimъ	now we should do any penance
502:	Dnesъ detu storixmi grěxъ dnesъ da se ispovědami	today, when we sin, today we should confess
503:	Zašto kato kaže i premudri Solomonъ	because, as the most wise Solomon says:
	ne znaimъ što šte stana do utrě	ʺwe know not what (will be there) to do tomorrowʺ (cf. Preacher 7:14)
504:	kogi ne znaimź što šte ni do do utrě	when we do not know, what will come until tomorrow
505:	Da ni sa posagami kato bezsmrъtni	let us not consider ourselves to be deathless
506:	da ni sagrěšavami kato de ni štem da umremъ nikogi	let us not sin as if we were not ever going to die
507:	Ami i kolko poznavatъ malovremenii tozii životъ	but at least as they (?) understand our short life (that our life is short?)
	da ispravim sěbe si	let us mend ourselves
508:	da si vrъnim i volę ta na dobro	let us turn our will to good
509:	da si vrъnimi ennę ta na dobivani na duša ta naša	let us change our thoughts for the profit of our soul
510:	a ni sa enъnasovami edno ka štemъ da sa ubogatimъ kakъ štemъ da sa oblečemъ i kak štemъ da sa naxranimъ	and let us not think only about how to get rich or clothe or feed ourselves
511:	Ami po mnogo da sa smislimi kakъ da arěsami na Xrista kakъ da sъvrъšimъ dobri te raboti kakъ da sa spodobimъ na carstvo nebesnoe	but let us think more about how to please Christ, how to gain virtue, how to receive the Kingdom of Heaven
512:	Zašto i gospodъ tъi ni zapověda na svetoe evangelie	because thus tells us the Lord in the Holy Gospel
513:	(n/a)
514:	ni děiti misli vъtri na duša ta si što da jadeti ili što da pieti	ʺdo not worry in your souls, what you will eat,ʺ (Lk 12:22)
	neti da imati enъnię sa što da si oblečete snaga ta	ʺor about your body, what you will wearʺ
515:	Ne li ęti duša ta vi po mnogo ot jastię to	ʺis not life more than food?ʺ (23)
	ne li eti snaga ta vi po mnogo ot drexi te vi	ʺis not the body more than clothes?ʺ (23)
516:	(n/a)
517:	(n/a)
518:	(n/a)
519:	(n/a)
520:	Rekše kato kogi sa smisljuvati radi jastie to deto ne ęti nišъšto	he says, that what you think about food is in vain
	Kakъ sa enъnęsovati i radi duša ta vi deto ęti rabotъ po početena na miru tъ sičъkii	(you should think) how to care about your soul, which is something more precious than the whole world
521:	Pakъ zapověda po dolu gospodъ	and again, the Lord says below:
522:	ę vište na gadini tě detu frkatъ na vъsъduxu tъ	ʺlook at the heavenly birdsʺ (Lk 12:24)
523:	kakъ ne seetъ	ʺhow they do not sowʺ
524:	neti ženatъ	ʺnor they reapʺ
525:	neti zbiratъ na kupni i xambari	ʺnor they have no barnʺ
526:	i bogъ otecъ na sinca ni gi xrani i těxъ	ʺand your heavenly Father feeds themʺ
527:	Vii čelověcii ne sa měnuvati po mnogo ot těxъ	ʺare you not better than these?ʺ
528:	Koi detu sa enъnjasova može da vzdade na snaga ti si edinъ lakatъ	ʺand who (among you) who worries so can add a cubit to your life?ʺ (25)

533:	(n/a)
534:	(n/a)
535:	(n/a)
536:	I pakъ zapověda i za obleklo tu	and again, he speaks also about the clothes:
537:	zašto sa enъnisovati za drexi	ʺwhy are you anxious about clothes?ʺ
538:	Etu razuměiti cvětija ta na polię to	ʺlook at the wild flowersʺ (Lk 12:27-28)
539:	kakъ porastoxъ	ʺhow they (ʺIʺ) growʺ
540:	detu neti rabotětъ	ʺthey do not laborʺ
541:	neti pridětъ	ʺnor they spinʺ
542:	Kaže vi	he tells you
543:	zašto neti Solomon na sičko to si mnogo xubostь i počestъ ne sa obleče kato edno ot tezi da sa premeni tolkozi xubavu kato kakъ ę premenenu cvěte tu	ʺ(ʺbecauseʺ) not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed so beautifully as these flowersʺ
544:	Višъ treva ta na polъe tu detu i dnesъ ęti a utrě gi ugaždatъ na pišta i isgarę	ʺsee the grass on the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into fireʺ
545:	(n/a)

547:	(n/a)
548:	(n/a)
549:	(n/a)
550:	(n/a)
551:	(n/a)
552:	Bogъ go oblečjuva go premenęva tъi	ʺGod clothes it (and) ornaments so much,ʺ
	kolko pakъ vasъ malověri da ne vi obleče	ʺhow much would he (do so with) you, you of little faith?ʺ
553:	I legomi ne děiti sja enъnasova što da jadete ili što da piemъ ili što da sa ublečemъ	ʺdo not worry, saying , 'what we eat' or 'what we drink' or 'what to put on'ʺ (cf. Lk 12:29-30)
554:	radi zašto tezi sički te ęzici te gi ištatъ	ʺfor this is what the heathens wantʺ
555:	zašto bogъ otecъ vaši deto ęti na nebesa znai kakъ vi trěbovatъ tezi	ʺbecause your Father knows that you need themʺ
556:	Radi tui ištetti prvo carstvo božię i pravda	ʺthus seek first His Kingdom and His truthʺ
557:	i tězi sički te ot gorě vi sa zdadatъ	ʺand this all will be given to you from aboveʺ

561:	(n/a)
562:	(n/a)
563:	Radi tui i nii blagosloveni xristiani da ni sa enьjasovami za tezi	let us too, my blessed Christians, not think about this
564:	ami za duša ta ni dobivani tu da sa smisliimi	but let us think of gain for our souls
565:	za spasenie to naši da dumami	let us think about our salvation
566:	za duša ta ni da čalstisami kakъ da ę naxranimi sasъ rečъ božia duša ta ni	let us struggle for the sake of our souls by feeding them with the Word of God
567:	(n/a)
568:	da sa potrudimi kak da ę oblečemi sasъ dobri raboti	let us struggle, to clothe it in virtues
569:	radi da ni spodobi Xristos tuka da minemъ zdravi mirno i neporočno ot dušmani duševni i telěsni	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
570:	i tamъ da ni spodobi na věčno to negovo carstvo	and there He will make us worthy of His eternal Kingdom
571:	zašto nemu priliča slava i počestъ i poklonenie sъ beznačelnomu otcu i sъ presvetimъ i blagimъ i životvoręštimъ duxomъ	for His is the glory, honor and respect, with beginning-less Father of Him, and with Most Holy and good and life-giving Spirit
	nině prisno i vъ věki věkomъ	now and ever and forever
572:	aminъ	amen
