beneath [bɪˈni: Ɵ] fountain [ˈfaʋntɪn] echo [ˈekǝʋ]
The King beneath the mountains,
The King of carven stone,
The lord of silver fountains
Shall come into his own!
His crown shall be upholden,
His harp shall be restrung,
His halls shall echo golden
To songs of yore re-sung.
The woods shall wave on mountains
And grass beneath the sun;
His wealth shall flow in fountains
And the rivers golden run.
The streams shall run in gladness,
The lakes shall shine and burn,
And sorrow fail and sadness
At the Mountain-king’s return!”
So they sang (так они пели), or very like that (или очень похоже на это), only there was a great deal more of it (только было гораздо больше /слов/), and there was much shouting (и раздавалось множество криков) as well as the music of harps and of fiddles (также как и музыки арф и скрипок) mixed up with it (перемешенных с ним = пением). Indeed such excitement (действительно, такого волнения) had not been known in the town (не было известно в городе) in the memory of the oldest grandfather (даже в памяти самого старого почтенного старика; grandfather — дедушка; почтенный старик). The Wood-elves themselves began to wonder greatly (сами Лесные Эльфы сильно призадумались) and even to be afraid (и даже испугались). They did not know of course (они не знали, конечно же) how Thorin had escaped (каким образом Торин сбежал), and they began to think (и они начали думать) their king might have made a serious mistake (что их король допустил, должно быть, серьезную ошибку). As for the Master (что до Главы города) he saw there was nothing else for it (он увидел, что ничего больше не оставалось) but to obey the general clamour (как подчиниться общим шумным требованиям), for the moment at any rate (в данную минуту, во всяком случае), and to pretend to believe (и притвориться, что /он/ поверил) that Thorin was what he said (что Торин был тем, кем он себя назвал). So he gave up to him his own great chair (тогда он уступил ему свое собственное большое кресло; togive up — отказаться, бросить, оставить) and set Fili and Kili beside him (и усадил Фили и Кили рядом с ним) in places of honour (на почетные места). Even Bilbo was given a seat (даже Бильбо дали место) at the high table (за столом для почетных гостей; high — высокий; high table — стол, расположенный на возвышении — для почетных гостей), and no explanation (и никаких объяснений) of where he came in (какое он имел отношение; to come in — зд. иметь отношение, быть при чем) — no songs had alluded to him (никакие песни не упоминали о нем) even in the obscurest way (никаким, даже самым невразумительным образом; obscure — темный; неясный, смутный) — was asked for (/объяснений/ не было потребовано; to ask for — спрашивать, просить, требовать) in the general bustle (во всеобщей суматохе).

Soon afterwards (вскоре после этого) the other dwarves were brought into the town (остальные гномы были приведены в город) amid scenes of astonishing enthusiasm (в окружении сцен удивительного воодушевления). They were all doctored (им всем оказали медицинскую помощь; to doctor — лечить, врачевать) and fed (и покормили; to feed) and housed (и предоставили жилье) and pampered (и баловали) in the most delightful and satisfactory fashion (самым восхитительным и удовлетворительным образом). A large house was given up to Thorin and his company (Торину и его компании предоставили большой дом: «большой дом был отдан»); boats and rowers were put at their service (к их услугам предоставили лодки и гребцов: «лодки и гребцы были предоставлены»); and crowds sat outside (и толпы /людей/ сидели снаружи) and sang songs all day (и распевали песни целый день), or cheered (или приветствовали /их/) if any dwarf showed so much as his nose (если кто-нибудь: «любой» из гномов показывал хоть /кончик/ носа).
Some of the songs were old ones (некоторые из песен были старыми); but some of them were quite new (но некоторые — вполне новыми) and spoke confidently (и /в них/ пелось: «говорилось» уверенно) of the sudden death of the dragon (о внезапной смерти дракона) and of cargoes of rich presents (и о грузах с дорогими подарками) coming down the river to Lake-town (прибывающим по реке в Город-на-Озере). These were inspired largely by the Master (эти /песни/ вдохновлялись преимущественно Главой Города; largely — в значительной степени) and they did not particularly please the dwarves (и они не особенно нравились гномам; to please — желать, угождать, получать удовольствие), but in the meantime (но тем временем) they were well contented (они были весьма довольны; content — довольный, удовлетворенный, согласный) and they quickly grew fat and strong again (и они снова быстро потолстели и набрались сил). Indeed within a week (на самом деле, в течение недели) they were quite recovered (они вполне восстановились), fitted out in fine cloth (оделись: «были экипированы» в прекрасную одежду; tofitout — снаряжать, обеспечивать, экипировать) of their proper colours (своих подобающих цветов), with beards combed and trimmed (с расчесанными и подстриженными бородами; to comb — чесать, расчесывать; to trim — приводить в порядок, подрезать, подстригать), and proud steps (и гордой поступью). Thorin looked and walked (Торин же выглядел и вышагивал так) as if his kingdom was already regained (словно его царство уже было отвоевано; to regain — получить обратно, восстановить) and Smaug chopped up into little pieces (и Смауг был порублен на маленькие кусочки; to chop — рубить, порубить, шинковать).

Then, as he had said (затем, как он и сказал /раньше/), the dwarves’ good feeling (добрые чувства гномов) towards the little hobbit (по отношению к маленькому хоббиту) grew stronger every day (становились все сильнее с каждым днем). There were no more groans (больше не раздавались стоны) or grumbles (или ворчания). They drank his health (они пили за его здоровье; to drink (drank, drunk) — пить, выпивать), and they patted him on the back (и они похлопывали его по спине; to pat — похлопывать, шлепать, приглаживать), and they made a great fuss of him (и они поднимали вокруг него ужасную суматоху; fuss — нервное состояние, суета; to make a fuss of smb. — суетливо опекать кого-либо); which was just as well (что было к лучшему), for he was not feeling particularly cheerful (так как он чувствовал себя не особенно-то радостно). He had not forgotten the look of the Mountain (он не забыл ни вид Горы = как выглядела Гора), nor the thought of the dragon (ни мысль о драконе), and he had besides a shocking cold (и у него, кроме всего, была ужасающая простуда). For three days he sneezed and coughed (три дня он чихал и кашлял), and he could not go out (и не мог выходить на улицу), and even after that (и даже после этого = этих трех дней) his speeches at banquets (его речи на пиршествах) were limited to (ограничивались /фразой/) “Thag you very buch (огномное спадибо; Thag you very buch = thank you very much — огромное спасибо). ”
