I believe that we shall always be ignorant of the matters which it most behoves us to know, and therefore I cannot occupy myself with them.
Полагаю, что мы всегда будем невежественны во многих вопросах, о которых нам подобает знать, и поэтому не хочу посвящать себя их изучению.

It was a circumstance highly unusual in such a place and hour; and, in our situation, it behoved us to proceed with some timidity.

It behoves everyone to consider going there, and the princes all the more so since they are highly placed, for there is not one who can claim to be faithful and obedient to him if he does not aid him in this enterprise.
Всем надлежит ехать туда и, в первую очередь, принцам, занимающим столь высокое положение, и никто не может называться верующим и верным Ему, если он не поможет Ему в этот час.
