"And I advise you to take a fresh horse and new lance (а я советую тебе взять свежего коня и новое копье), for you will need both (потому как тебе понадобится и то, и другое)!"
confession [kǝn'feʃ(ə)n], value ['vælju:], prepare [prɪ'pɛə], paradise ['pærǝdaɪs]
"Have you been to confession, today," said the Templar, "since you don't value your life very much?"
"I am better prepared to meet death than you are," answered the Disinherited Knight.
"Then take your place and look at the sun for the last time, because tonight you will be sleeping in Paradise!'
"And I advise you to take a fresh horse and new lance, for you will need both!"
Brian de Bois-Guilbert changed his horse (Бриан де Буа-Гильбер сменил своего коня) and chose a new lance and shield (и выбрал новое копье и щит). He did not want to take any chances (ему не хотелось рисковать; chance — случайность, неожиданное событие, случай; риск; to take chance — рисковать) against this unknown knight (/в сражении/ против неизвестного рыцаря). The two knights then rode to the opposite ends of the lists (двое рыцарей затем поскакали к противоположным концам ристалища). When the herald's trumpet sounded (когда труба герольда прозвучала), they galloped towards each other with the speed of lightning (они понеслись галопом навстречу друг другу со скоростью молнии).

Both of their lances broke at once (их копья разлетелись на обломки одновременно: «каждое из их копий сломалось одновременно»; at once — сразу же, тотчас же; одновременно, за один раз), and the knights were given time (и рыцарям дали время) to get new lances from their servants (чтобы взять новые копья у своих слуг; to get — получить, стать обладателем чего-либо). The audience shouted wildly (зрители кричали неистово; wild — дикий; необузданный, бешеный, неистовый) when they saw how well the Disinherited Knight had done (когда они увидели, как хорошо держался рыцарь Лишенный наследства; to do well — процветать, преуспевать; хорошо идти /о делах и т.п./), but when the knights took their places again (но когда рыцари заняли свои места снова), there was a deep silence from the galleries (/наступила/ полная тишина на галереях; deep — глубокий; выражает высшую степень), as if the crowd was afraid to breathe (словно толпа боялась перевести дыхание; to breathe — дышать; переводить дух).

This time, the Templar hit the center of the Disinherited Knight's shield (на этот раз храмовник ударил в центр щита рыцаря Лишенного наследства), and he would have won the fight (и он выиграл бы поединок; to win) if his own stirrup hadn't broken (если бы его /собственное/ стремя не порвалось; stirrup — стремя; to break — ломать, разбивать /на части/ разрушать; разрывать). Instead, he was thrown off his horse (вместо этого он сам был сброшен со /своего/ коня), and he fell onto the ground (и он упал на землю; to fall). Angrily, he drew his sword (гневно/яростно он вытащил свой меч; to draw — тащить, волочить; тянуть) and waved it at the Disinherited Knight (и замахнулся им на рыцаря Лишенного наследства), who jumped off his horse (который спрыгнул со своего коня) with his sword already in his hand (со своим мечом /уже/ в /своей/ руке).

They were stopped by two heralds (они были остановлены двумя герольдами) who reminded them (которые напомнили им; to remind — напоминать, походить; напоминать, делать напоминание) that the rules did not allow sword-fighting (что правила не позволяли драться на мечах; sword — меч; fighting — бой, сражение).
"We shall meet again (мы встретимся снова) where there is no one to separate us (когда не будет никого, кто смог бы помешать нам; to separate — отделять, разделять)!" said the Templar angrily and walked back to his tent (сказал тамплиер сердито и пошел назад = вернулся к своему шатру).
