Gorulga's eyes glittered fanatically in the torchlight.

"Yelaya has spoken (Елая высказалась; to speak)!" he cried in an exalted voice (воскликнул он восторженным голосом). "It is the will of the gods (такова воля богов)! Long ago, in the days of our ancestors (давным-давно, во дни наших предков), they were made taboo and hidden at the command of the gods (их сделали священными и спрятали по приказу богов; to hide), who wrenched them from the awful jaws of Gwahlur the king of darkness, in the birth of the world (которые вырвали их из ужасных челюстей Гвалура, царя тьмы, при рождении мира). At the command of the gods the Teeth of Gwahlur were hidden (по велению богов Зубы Гвалура были спрятаны); at their command they shall be brought forth again (по их приказу они будут явлены снова; to bring forth — производить, рождать; представлять, приводить /в качестве доказательства/). O star-born goddess (о рожденная звездой богиня), give us your leave to go to the secret hiding-place of the Teeth to secure them for him whom the gods love (дай нам свое соизволение пойти в секретный тайник Зубов, чтобы получить их для того, кого любят боги; to secure — охранять; завладевать, получать)!"

"You have my leave to go (вы имеете = получаете мое соизволение идти)!" answered the false goddess (ответила фальшивая богиня), with an imperious gesture of dismissal that set Conan grinning again (властным жестом, который снова вызвал ухмылку у Конана, отпуская /их/; to dismiss — отпускать; to set — ставить; приводить в определенное состояние), and the priests backed out (и жрецы вышли, пятясь; to back — поддерживать; пятиться), ostrich plumes and torches rising and falling with the rhythm of their genuflexions (/а/ страусиные перья и факелы поднимались и опадали в ритме их коленопреклонений).

The gold door closed (золотая дверь закрылась) and with a moan, the goddess fell back limply on the dais (и со стоном богиня безвольно упала назад на помост; to fall). "Conan (Конан)!" she whimpered faintly (слабо захныкала она). "Conan!"
