go. l don't want to go. ln the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. O Lord Jesus Christ, Thy will be done. The Lord shall rise, and His enemies shall be dispersed, and vanish like smoke. As wax melts before fire, so will the devils perish before those who love God, before those who make the sign of the cross and say joyfully: Precious and Life-giving Cross which drives away demons... O most Pure and Life-giving Cross of the Lord, help me with the Holy Virgin the Mother of God and with all Saints forever and ever. Amen. Praise the Lord. O Lord, succor the sick. Amen. Now you are well. Have a good cry. Thank you. l don't know how l can thank you enough. Nastya is shining. We should thank God. Now go to the church. Nastya should confess her sins and receive communion. Don't you want to confess? l don't understand. Come, l'll explain everything. Don't be afraid, Admiral. No one is going to test your loyalty to the Party. l am not afraid of anyone. l've had my share of fear. But l really don't see what this is about. ln '42 l was taken prisoner. l was young. The Germans promised me life if l shot my mate. - Where did you serve? - Here in the Northern fleet. What was your mate's name? l don't remember. He was older than me, a skipper on a tugboat. Why don't you ask if l shot him? Well, did you? l did. l don't know how to live with it. Me neither. Why did you tell me? l am old and afraid to die with this sin. l'm afraid. Don't be afraid. Die in peace, Father. l know the man. He survived. You just shot through his arm. Then there was a blast and he fell overboard and grabbed a plank. He was rescued the next morning. Forgive me. Forgive me. l've forgiven you long ago. l was sure you hadn't survived. l thought since you were on the tugboat... Tikhon, go in peace. God be with you. Thank you, brothers. Good job. We sand-papered it first, then varnished. You can well use it as a sideboard. Like it? l need a coffin, not a sideboard. l tried to please you. Nothing ever pleases you. l can get some sandpaper and we'll scratch it off or dirty it with your coal. Tell me what you want. l'll do it for you. Father Job, forgive me, an old fool. Forgive me the soot and Cain and this sideboard. - lt is all right. - Forgive me for Christ's sake. Let bygones be bygones. You pardon me. l've been unjust to you. Pardon me for Christ's sake. God will. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. Watch me. l'll take a chunk of coal... See that? Just what you wish, Father Anatoly. Father Job, give me a hand. Here l am. Go tell Father Filaret the servant of God, Anatoly has passed away. Father Anatoly... aren't you afraid to die? l'm not afraid to die. l'm afraid to stand before God. My sins are oppressing me. How should l live? We are all sinners. Live the way you can. Just try not to sin too much. Well, enough of that. Enough talking. Go, my dear, go. God be with you. O Lord... receive my sinful soul. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Ирония судьбы, или С лёгким паром! на английском - текст Мотылёк на английском - текст Легенда о пианисте на английском - текст Про Федота-стрельца, удалого молодца на английском - текст Торпедоносцы на английском |
