And on the evening of the second day (и к вечеру второго дня) they came to a city (они пришли в какой-то город), and the young Fisherman said to his Soul (и молодой Рыбак сказал своей Душе), `Is this the city in which she dances (это тот самый город, в котором танцует та) of whom thou did'st speak to me (о которой ты говорила мне)?'

And his Soul answered him (и его Душа ответила ему), `It is not this city, but another (это не тот город, а другой). Nevertheless let us enter in (все же давай войдем в него).'

So he sat him down in the market-place (тогда он уселся на рыночной площади; to sit (sat)) and rested (и стал отдыхать), and after a time (и, спустя некоторое время) there went by a hooded merchant (мимо прошел купец /в плаще /с капюшоном/; hood — капюшон, hooded — закрытый капюшоном; с капюшоном /о плаще и т.п./) who had a cloak of cloth of Tartary (а плащ был из татарского сукна: «/купец/, у которого был плащ»), and bore a lantern (и /он/ нес фонарь; to bear (bore, born) — переносить; носить, нести) of pierced horn (из проколотого рога; to pierce — пронзать, протыкать, прокалывать) at the end of a jointed reed (на конце тростника /с коленцами/; joint — место соединения, стык, jointed — складной; шарнирный, коленчатый).

`Are we not all kinsmen (разве мы все не родственники)?' said the merchant (сказал купец). `And did not one God make us (и не один ли Бог создал нас)?

And the young Fisherman answered him, `I can find no inn in this city, nor have I any kinsman who might give me shelter.'

`Are we not all kinsmen?' said the merchant. `And did not one God make us? Therefore come with me, for I have a guest-chamber.'

So the young Fisherman rose up (тогда молодой Рыбак поднялся /на ноги/; to rise (rose, risen)) and followed the merchant to his house (и последовал за купцом в его дом). And when he had passed through a garden of pomegranates (и, когда он прошел через гранатовый сад) and entered into the house (и вошел в дом), the merchant brought him rose-water (купец принес ему розовой воды; to bring (brought)) in a copper dish (в медной чаше) that he might wash his hands (чтобы он мог вымыть руки), and ripe melons (и спелые дыни) that he might quench his thirst (чтобы он мог утолить свою жажду; to quench — гасить, тушить; утолять /жажду/), and set a bowl of rice (и поставил миску риса) and a piece of roasted kid (и кусок жареного козленка) before him (перед ним).

And after that he had finished (и после того, как он поел: «закончил»), the merchant led him to the guest-chamber (купец отвел его в комнату для гостей; to lead (led)), bade him sleep and be at rest (и пригласил его почивать и пожелал ему /хорошо/ отдохнуть; to bid (bade, bidden) — предлагать цену /на аукционе/; объявлять, заявлять; приглашать).

And when he had passed through a garden of pomegranates and entered into the house, the merchant brought him rose-water in a copper dish that he might wash his hands, and ripe melons that he might quench his thirst, and set a bowl of rice and a piece of roasted kid before him.

And after that he had finished, the merchant led him to the guest-chamber, bade him sleep and be at rest. And the young Fisherman gave him thanks, and kissed the ring that was on his hand, and flung himself down on the carpets of dyed goat's-hair.

And three hours before dawn (и за три часа до рассвета), and while it was still night (пока все еще была ночь), his Soul waked him (его Душа разбудила его; to wake — просыпаться; будить), and said to him (и сказала ему), `Rise up (вставай) and go to the room of the merchant (и иди в комнату купца), even to the room in which he sleepeth (прямо в комнату, в которой он спит), and slay him (и убей его), and take from him his gold (и забери у него его золото), for we have need of it (потому что мы нуждаемся в нем).'

And the young Fisherman rose up (и молодой Рыбак поднялся) and crept towards the room of the merchant (и прокрался в комнату купца; to creep (crept) — ползать; красться), and over the feet of the merchant (и в ногах купца) there was lying a curved sword (лежал кривой меч; to lie (lay, lain); curve — кривая линия; кривизна, изогнутость), and the tray by the side of the merchant (и на подносе рядом с купцом; side — стена; место рядом) held nine purses of gold (было девять кошелей с золотом; to hold (held) — держать; вмещать). And he reached out his hand (и он протянул свою руку) and touched the sword (и коснулся меча), and when he touched it (и когда он коснулся его) the merchant started and awoke (купец вздрогнул и проснулся; to start — отправляться; вздрагивать, пугаться; to awake (awoke, awaked) — будить; просыпаться), and leaping up seized himself the sword (и, вскакивая, он сам схватил меч) and cried to the young Fisherman (и крикнул молодому Рыбаку), `Dost thou return evil for good (ты что, отвечаешь злом на добро; dost thou = do you; to return — возвращаться; возвращать, отдавать), and pay with the shedding of blood (и кровопролитием платишь; to shed — проливать, лить) for the kindness (за ту доброту) that I have shown thee (что я проявил к тебе; to show (showed, shown) — показывать; проявлять, обнаруживать)?'
