     Як бачылі, краіна была шмат чым яму абавязана, бедныя былі яму абавязаны ўсім. Ён быў настолькі карысны, што мімаволі выклікаў павагу, і такі добры, што, нарэшце, усе палюбілі яго.

     Jak bačyli, kraina byla šmat čym jamu abavjazana, bjednyja byli jamu abavjazany ŭsim. Jon byŭ nastólʹki karysny, što mimavóli vyklikaŭ pavahu, i taki dóbry, što, narešcje, usje paljubili jahó.

     We have seen that the country owed much to him; the poor owed him everything; he was so useful and he was so gentle that people had been obliged to honor and respect him.

     (literally, “As it was seen, the country owed much to him, the poor owed him everything. He was so useful that he inadvertently attracted respect, and he was so gentle that everyone eventually liked him.”)
