accepted [k'septd] prepared [pr'ped] mourned [m:nd] avenged ['vend]

Before he had set off on his quest, before he had witnessed what had happened to the Vadhagh castles, before he had seen the blight that had come to Bro-an-Vadhagh, he might have accepted his fate and prepared himself to die as his kinfolk had died, but the lessons he had learned remained with him. He hated the Mabden. He mourned for his relatives. He would be avenged on them if he could. And this meant that he would have to live.

He closed his eyes, conserving his strength (он закрыл глаза, сберегая силы; to conserve — сохранять, сберегать). There was one way to escape the Mabden (был /лишь/ один способ сбежать от мабденов) and that was to ease his body into another plane where they could not see him (переместить тело в другую плоскость, где они не смогут увидеть его; to ease — облегчать /боль/; ослаблять, освобождать). But to do this would demand much energy (но чтобы сделать это = для этого потребовалось бы много энергии; to demand — требовать; нуждаться) and there was little point in doing it (и было бессмысленно делать это; there is little point in — нет смысла, едва ли имеет смысл) while he remained in the waggon (пока он оставался в повозке).

The guttural Mabden voices drifted back to the waggon from time to time (гортанные голоса мабденов доносились до повозки время от времени; to drift — относить ветром, течением; сноситься, плавно перемещаться), but he could not hear what they said (но Корум не мог слышать, что они говорят). He slept (он спал; to sleep).

He closed his eyes, conserving his strength. There was one way to escape the Mabden and that was to ease his body into another plane where they could not see him. But to do this would demand much energy and there was little point in doing it while he remained in the waggon.

The guttural Mabden voices drifted back to the waggon from time to time, but he could not hear what they said. He slept.

He stirred (он пошевелился). Something cold was striking his face (что-то холодное касалось его лица; to strike — бить, ударять/ся/, поражать; производить действия, связанные с ударами, касаниями и т. д. ). He blinked (он заморгал). It was water (это была вода). He opened his eyes and saw the Mabden standing over him (он открыл глаза и увидел мабдена, стоявшего над ним). He had been removed from the waggon (его вытащили из повозки; to remove — перемещать; снимать, удалять) and was lying on the ground (и /теперь он/ лежал на земле). Cooking fires burned nearby (костры для приготовления пищи горели неподалеку; to cook — готовить, жарить/ся/, варить/ся/). It was night (была ночь; night — ночь; вечер).

`The Shefanhow is with us again, master (шефанхау снова с нами = пришел в себя, хозяин; master — хозяин, господин), called the Mabden who had thrown the water (крикнул мабден, который плеснул водой /Коруму в лицо/; to throw — бросать, метать, кидать). `He is ready for us, I think (думаю, он готов для нас = для развлечения).

Corum winced as he moved his bruised body (Корум поморщился /от боли/, когда двинулся своим израненным/в кровоподтеках телом; to wince — вздрагивать, морщиться /от боли/), trying to stand upright in the chains (пытаясь стоять прямо /закованный/ в цепи). Even if he could escape to another plane (даже если бы он смог уйти в другую плоскость), the chains would come with him (цепи переместились бы с ним). He would be little better off (ему было бы не намного лучше; better off — находящийся в лучшем положении; обеспеченный, состоятельный). Experimentally, he tried to see into the next plane (он попробовал заглянуть в другую плоскость; experimentally — опытным путем, для пробы), but his eyes began to ache and he gave up (но его глаза начали болеть, и он бросил /эту затею/; to give up — оставить, отказаться; бросить /привычку/).
