He told her all he had meant to do, to hide her shame, if he had lived, and prayed her, if he died, not to curse his memory, or think the consequences of their sin would be visited on her or their young child; for all the guilt was his.
Он поведал ей обо всем, что намеревался сделать, чтобы скрыть ее позор, если будет жив, и умолял ее, если он умрет, не проклинать его памяти и не думать о том, что последствия их греха падут на нее или на их младенца, ибо вся вина лежит на нем.

Not in vain have I prayed the Gods that I might live to look upon thy face and impart to thee the wisdom which perchance I alone have mastered of those who are left alive in Egypt.
Наконец-то боги услышали мои молитвы и даровали мне счастье узреть твое лицо. Теперь я передам тебе мудрость, которой из всех египтян владею, быть может, один лишь я.

And I have prayed and prayed that I would lately, yes I have. For life does not mean as much to me now as when I first met you and you loved me.
И в последнее время я много молилась об этом - правда, молилась, потому что жизнь теперь совсем не так дорога мне, как было прежде, когда мы встретились и ты меня полюбил.

Andrey Yefimitch was embarrassed and he kissed the image, while Mihail Averyanitch pursed up his lips and prayed in a whisper, and again tears came into his eyes.
