- 1888, Антон Чехов, “I”, in Степь; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Steppe, 1919:
- — Ничего, ничего, брат Егор, ничего… — забормотал скороговоркой о. Христофор. — Ничего, брат… Призывай бога… Не за худом едешь, а за добром. Ученье, как говорится, свет, а неученье — тьма… Истинно так.
- — Ničevo, ničevo, brat Jegor, ničevo… — zabormotal skorogovorkoj o. Xristofor. — Ničevo, brat… Prizyvaj boga… Ne za xudom jedešʹ, a za dobrom. Učenʹje, kak govoritsja, svet, a neučenʹje — tʹma… Istinno tak.
- "Never mind, never mind, Yegor boy, never mind," Father Christopher muttered rapidly—"never mind, my boy. . . . Call upon God. . . . You are not going for your harm, but for your good. Learning is light, as the saying is, and ignorance is darkness. . . . That is so, truly."
