So they made haste (тогда они поторопились; haste — поспешность, торопливость, to make (made)), and all that night (и всю ночь) they journeyed beneath the moon (они путешествовали под луной), and all the next day (и весь следующий день) they journeyed beneath the sun (они путешествовали под солнцем), and on the evening of the day (и к вечеру того дня) they came to a city (они приехали в один город).

And the young Fisherman said to his Soul (и молодой Рыбак сказал Душе), `Is this the city (это тот самый город) in which she dances (в котором танцует та: «она») of whom thou did'st speak to me (о которой ты говорила мне)?'

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

So they made haste, and all that night they journeyed beneath the moon, and all the next day they journeyed beneath the sun, and on the evening of the day they came to a city.

And the young Fisherman said to his Soul, `Is this the city in which she dances of whom thou did'st speak to me?'

And his Soul answered him, `It is not this city, but another. Nevertheless let us enter in.'

So they entered in (тогда они вошли в /город/) and passed through the streets (и пошли по улицам), and as they passed through the Street of the Jewellers (и когда они шли по Улице Ювелиров; jewel — драгоценный камень, jeweler — ювелир) the young fisherman saw a fair silver cup (молодой рыбак увидел прекрасную серебряную чашу; to see (saw, seen)) set forth in a booth (выставленную в одной лавочке). And his Soul said to him, `Take that silver cup (возьми эту серебряную чашу) and hide it (и спрячь ее).'

So he took the cup (тогда он взял чашу; to take (took, taken)) and hid it in the fold of his tunic (и спрятал ее в складке своей туники; to hide (hid, hidden), tunic — блузка с поясом; туника), and they went hurriedly out of the city (и они поспешно вышли из города; hurry — спешка, торопливость).

And after that they had gone a league from the city (и когда: «после того, как» они отошли от города на целую лигу/лье; league — лига, лье — мера расстояния = 4,83 км), the young Fisherman frowned (молодой рыбак нахмурился), and flung the cup away (и выбросил чашу; to fling (flung) — метать, швырять), and said to his Soul, `Why did'st thou tell me (почему ты сказала мне; did'st thou = did you) to take this cup and hide it (взять эту чашу и спрятать ее), for it was an evil thing to do (ведь это же дурной поступок; evil — злой, зловредный; дурной)?'

But his Soul answered him (но его Душа ответила ему), `Be at peace (будь спокоен; peace — мир; покой, спокойствие, тишина), be at peace.'
