      Апрача таго яшчэ вылічалі за ўсё: і за баню, і за асьвятленьне каморак, і за вугольлі для самавару. З жыхароў каморак бралі плату з усіх чыста, так што за кожнае дзіця ў сям'і прыходзілася плаціць.
      Aprača tahó jašče vyličali za ŭsjo: i za banju, i za asʹvjatljenʹnje kamórak, i za vuhólʹli dlja samavaru. Z žyxaróŭ kamórak brali platu z usix čysta, tak što za kóžnaje dzicja ŭ sjamʺi pryxódzilasja placicʹ.
      Sverx tovo ješče vyčitali za vse: i za banju, i za osveščenije kamorok, i za ugolʹja dlja samovara; s obitatelej kamorok brali platu pogolovno, tak što za každovo rebenka v semʹje prixodilosʹ platitʹ.
      In addition, everything was charged for: including the bathhouse, and the lighting of the chambers, and the samovar's charcoals. The payment was collected from absolutely all chamber tenants, so that it was necessary to pay for every child in a family.
