What struck Alyosha above everything was her earnestness. There was not a trace of humour or jesting in her face now, though, in old days, fun and gaiety never deserted her even at her most "earnest" moments.
Алешу всего более поражала ее серьезность: ни тени смешливости и шутливости не было теперь в ее лице, хотя прежде веселость и шутливость не покидали ее в самые "серьезные" ее минуты.

Often of a morning Babbitt came bouncing and jesting in to breakfast.
По утрам Бэббит обычно выходил к завтраку оживленный, с веселой шуткой.

He despised women, for instance, from the depths of his soul, and in his merry moments he amused himself by jesting at their expense.
Баб он, например, презирал от глубины души, а в веселый час тешился и издевался над ними.

Then, jesting at the "happy couple," with a shade of contempt and superciliousness she went away as well satisfied as before.
Затем сострив над "супругами" с некоторым оттенком презрения и высокомерия, ушла так же довольная как и давеча.

"I don't understand again." Alyosha broke in. "Is he ironical, is he jesting?"
-- Я опять не понимаю, -- прервал Алеша, -- он иронизирует, смеется?

They stopped to look at her, laughing, and began jesting with unbridled licentiousness.
Подгулявшие господа остановились над нею с хохотом и начали острить со всею возможною бесцензурностью.

This I feigned to say in a gay and jesting manner, yet in reality I was imploring help of the very Dubkoff to whom I had cried "Hold your tongue!" on the night of the matriculation dinner.
Это я будто бы был игрив и весел, но в сущности умолял о помощи того самого Дубкова, которому я прокричал: "Молчать!" - на обеде у Яра.

Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Katenka had grown better-looking than any of us, yet Woloda seemed not at all confused as, with a slight bow to her, he crossed over to Lubotshka, made a jesting remark to her, and then departed somewhere on some solitary expedition.
Катенька гораздо больше покраснела, чем мы все; Володя нисколько не смутился и, слегка поклонившись ей, отошел к Любочке, с которой тоже поговорив немного и то несерьезно, пошел, один гулять куда-то.

And after all, how disgraceful this passion of our great intellects for jesting in a superior way really is!

The possessed
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
That is why he broods suspiciously for days upon a jesting remark or an unusual movement of a tried comrade, or the broken mutterings of his closest friend, sleeping by his side.
Вот почему он целыми днями размышляет над каким-нибудь замечанием или необычным движением товарища или над несвязным бредом лучшего друга, спящего с ним рядом.
