“А си́ла ў еґо́ така́я, што як да́сь мо́латам, дак аж кава́дло ў зе́млю хава́етца. И празва́ли лю́дзи кавалё́ваго сы́на Баґатыро́м.”

And his strength is so great, that even an anvil burries into the ground whenever he strikes his hammer. So people nicknamed the blacksmith's son Bogatyr.

“Як без пары́ сярпом падрэ́заны колас паў ён у расцьве́це жыцьця́, паў як вялі́кі багаты́р-вая́ка, як добры грамадзяні́н, як ве́рны сын свайго кра́ю і ба́цькаўщыны, як праўдзі́вы каталі́к ў абароне ве́ры і пра́ўды.”

Just like an ear of wheat cut by a sickle prematurely, he lost life in his prime, died like a great hero-warrior, like a good citizen, like a loyal son of his country and fatherland, like a true Catholic. Passed away while defending faith and justice.

“Тагды́ пазна́лі лю́дзі, што гдзе бага́цтва, там німа́ш шча́сьця, што багаты́р ад бага́цтва гі́не.”

So people learned that where's wealth, there's no happiness. That the rich perishes from wealth.

“Хоць Пана́с і пага́ны быў чэлаве́к, але́ праз бага́цтва усю́ды яго усе́ паважа́лі, а свае́ селякі́ хоць у сэ́рцу і пракліна́лі багатыра́, а дзе́ля ві́ду ўсё-такі́ шапкава́лі пе́рэд ім.”

Even though Panas was a bad person, everyone everywhere gave him credit due to his wealth. His co-villagers secretly condemned the rich man and yet hailed him respectfully for the sake of appearances.

“Is he not Isaac of York, rich enough to redeem the captivity of the ten tribes of Israel, who were led into Assyrian bondage?—I have seen but little of him myself, but our cellarer and treasurer have dealt largely with him, and report says that his house at York is so full of gold and silver as is a shame in any Christian land.”

“Когда́ птене́ц попра́вился и окре́п, бога́ч отпусти́л его́ на во́лю.”

When the fledgling recovered and got stronger, the rich man released it into the wild.
