Μόλις έφθασε ο Ασώτης στην Πόλη, πήγε στο παλάτι του Βουκολέοντος και παρουσιάστηκε στον Αυτοκράτορα μαζί με τον Αλέξιο, για να του αναφέρει πως έφυγε από τους Βουλγάρους και να του ιστορήσει τη συνεννόηση του με τον Χρυσήλιο. ||||||||||Bucoléon||s'est présenté||||||||||rapporter||est parti|||||||raconter||entente|||| ||||||||||Bucoleon||||||||||||report|||||||||narrate|||||| Assim que|chegou|o|Assótes|na|cidade|foi|ao|palácio|de|Bucoléon|e|apresentou-se|ao|Imperador|junto|com|o|Alexios|para|que|a|informar|que|fugiu|dos|os|búlgaros|e|que|a|contar|a|acordo|de|com|o|Crisílio As soon as the Prodigal Son arrived in the City, he went to the palace of Boukoléon and presented himself to the Emperor along with Alexios, to inform him that he had escaped from the Bulgarians and to recount his agreement with Chrysilius.

Ο Κωνσταντίνος είχε μόνο τις τιμές της βασιλείας, χωρίς ποτέ ν' αναλαμβάνει και τα βάρη της διοίκησης.

Constantino tinha apenas os títulos da realeza, sem nunca assumir os fardos da administração. Περνούσε τον καιρό του στο παλάτι διασκεδάζοντας με τους αυλικούς του και γυμνάζοντας άλογα για το ιπποδρόμιο, όπου έτρεχε κάποτε και ο ίδιος, ενόσω ο Βουλγαροκτόνος πολεμούσε πότε τους Άραβες στην καρδιά της Μικρασίας, πότε τους Βουλγάρους ως μέσα στα βουνά της Ροδόπης.

Ele passava seu tempo no palácio se divertindo com seus cortesãos e treinando cavalos para o hipódromo, onde ele mesmo corria às vezes, enquanto o Búlgaro-matador lutava ora contra os árabes no coração da Ásia Menor, ora contra os búlgaros nas montanhas da Rodópe.

Ο Ασώτης είχε φέρει μαζί του γράμματα του Χρυσήλιου και τα έδωσε στον Βασίλειο. The|Asotis|had|brought|together|with him|letters|of|Chrysilios|and|them|gave|to|Vasileios o|Assolto|ele tinha|trazido|junto|dele|cartas|de|Chrysilio|e|as|ele deu|ao|Basílio The Prodigal had brought letters from Chrysilius and gave them to Basil. O Assóti trouxe consigo cartas de Crisílio e as entregou a Basílio.

Στα γράμματα αυτά ο Δυνάστης έγραφε του Βασιλέα πως είναι έτοιμος να παραδώσει το Δυρράχιο μόλις παρουσιαστεί ο Βυζαντινός στόλος, αρκεί μόνο να του το μηνύσει αρκετά νωρίς, με κανένα πιστό του αγγελιαφόρο, ώστε να προετοιμάσει εκεί τα πράματα και να μη γίνει περιττή αιματοχυσία.

Nessas cartas, o Dominador escrevia ao Rei que estava pronto para entregar Dyrrachium assim que a frota bizantina aparecesse, desde que apenas o avisasse com antecedência, por meio de algum mensageiro de confiança, para que pudesse preparar as coisas lá e evitar um derramamento de sangue desnecessário. Έπρεπε ο αγγελιαφόρος να είναι άνθρωπος έμπιστος, γιατί όλη η υπόθεση ήθελε μεγάλη ταχύτητα και μυστικότητα στην εκτέλεση.

O mensageiro deveria ser uma pessoa de confiança, pois toda a questão exigia grande rapidez e sigilo na execução. Έπρεπε όμως να είναι και ικανός, έξυπνος, θαρραλέος, μην πέσει στα χέρια των Βουλγάρων που θα τον αιχμαλώτιζαν ή θα τον σκότωναν.

Mas ele também deveria ser capaz, inteligente, corajoso, para não cair nas mãos dos búlgaros que o capturariam ou o matariam. Σε κανένα Έλληνα δεν επιτρέπουνταν να περάσει στη κεντρική Μακεδονία.

Απ' όλες τις όμορφες αρχόντισσες, που ακολουθούσαν την Αυγούστα, μια ξεχώρισε ο Αλέξιος, ένα χλωμό κορίτσι με μαύρα μάτια και λιγνή κορμοστασιά. |||||||la|Augusta||s'est distinguée||||pâle||||||| |all|the|beautiful|noblewomen|who|followed|the|Augusta|one|stood out|the|Alexios|a|pale|girl|with|black|eyes|and|slender|figure de|todas|as|bonitas|senhoras|que|seguiam|a|Augusta|uma|destacou|o|Alexios|uma|pálido|menina|com|olhos negros||e|esbelta|figura Among all the beautiful ladies who followed the Augusta, one stood out to Alexios, a pale girl with black eyes and a slender figure.

Εκεί που στέκονταν, πλάγι στη βασιλοπούλα Ζωή, από το ανοιχτό παράθυρο έπεφτε μια ακτίνα του ήλιου στα καστανά της μαλλιά, και του φάνηκε του Αλέξιου σαν αίγλη ολόχρυση που είχε ανάψει έξαφνα και φώτιζε το συλλογισμένο και λεπτό της πρόσωπο. ||||||||||fenêtre||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| There|where|were standing|beside|to the|princess|Zoe|from|the|open|window|was falling|a|ray|of the|sun|on the|brown|her|hair|and|to him|seemed|to him|Alexios|like|radiance|completely golden|that|had|lit|suddenly|and|illuminated|the|thoughtful|and|delicate|her|face ali|onde|estavam|ao lado|da|princesa|Zoe|de|a|aberto|janela|caía|um|raio|do|sol|em|cabelos castanhos|dela||e|do|pareceu|ao|Alexios|como|brilho|dourado|que|tinha|aceso|de repente|e|iluminava|o|pensativo|e|delicado|seu|rosto There, standing next to the princess Zoe, a ray of sunlight fell through the open window onto her brown hair, and to Alexios, it seemed like a golden glow that had suddenly ignited and illuminated her thoughtful and delicate face. Onde ele estava, ao lado da princesa Zoe, um raio de sol entrava pela janela aberta e caía em seus cabelos castanhos, e para Alexios parecia uma luz dourada que havia acendido de repente e iluminava seu rosto pensativo e delicado.

Από κείνη την ώρα δεν είχε ο Αλέξιος άλλη σκέψη παρά να μάθει τ' όνομα της.

Τα δυο αδέρφια προσευχήθηκαν μαζί, και ο Χαραλάμπης παρακάλεσε ολόψυχα την Παναγία να πάρει την αδερφή του στην προστασία της, όταν λείψει αυτός που ήταν ο τελευταίος της προστάτης. |||||||Charalambes|a demandé||||||||||||||||||||protecteur The|two|brothers|prayed|together|and|the|Charalambis|asked|wholeheartedly|the|Virgin Mary|to|take|the|sister|his|in the|protection|her|when|is gone|he|who|was|the|last|her|protector os|dois|irmãos|oraram|juntos|e|o|Haralambis|implorou|de coração|a|Virgem Maria|que|leve|a|irmã|dela|na|proteção|dela|quando|partir|ele|que|era|o|último|dela|protetor The two brothers prayed together, and Charalambos earnestly asked the Virgin Mary to take his sister under her protection when he was gone, the last of her protectors.

Έφτασαν οι Βούλγαροι και σα λεοντάρι μονάχος αντιστάθηκε ο Χαραλάμπης, σκοτώνοντας όσους τόλμησαν να πλησιάσουν. |||||||a résisté|||||ont osé|| The Bulgarians arrived|the|Bulgarians|and|like|lion|alone|resisted|the|Charalambis|killing|those who|dared|to|approach eles chegaram|os|búlgaros|e|como|leão|sozinho|ele resistiu|o|Haralambis|matando|aqueles que|ousaram|a|se aproximar The Bulgarians arrived, and like a lion, Charalambos resisted alone, killing those who dared to approach.

Περιτριγυρισμένος από κεφάλια κομμένα, και ματοκυλισμένα κορμιά, έμενε όρθιος μπροστά στην πύλη κι εμπόδιζε, μόνος αυτός, το πλήθος των Βουλγάρων που, διψασμένοι αίμα, γύρευαν να χυθούν στην έρημη πολιτεία. |||||ensanglantés||||||||||||||||||||||| Surrounded|by|heads|severed|and|bloodied|bodies|remained|standing|in front of|at the|gate|and|blocked|alone|he|the|crowd|of|Bulgarians|who|thirsty|for blood|sought|to|pour|into the|desolate|city cercado|por|cabeças|cortadas|e|ensanguentados|corpos|ele permanecia|de pé|na frente|na|porta|e|ele impedia|sozinho|ele|a|multidão|dos|búlgaros|que|sedentos|sangue|eles procuravam|a|se derramar|na|deserta|cidade Surrounded by severed heads and bloodied bodies, he stood firm in front of the gate, single-handedly blocking the crowd of Bulgarians who, thirsty for blood, sought to pour into the desolate city. Cercado por cabeças cortadas e corpos ensanguentados, ele permanecia de pé diante da porta e impedia, apenas ele, a multidão de búlgaros que, sedentos de sangue, buscavam entrar na deserta cidade.

Μα στο τέλος, το σπαθί του έσπασε στο χέρι του, και σαν τον είδαν ξαρμάτωτο, με άγριους αλαλαγμούς έπεσαν απάνω του και ζωντανό τον άρπαξαν.

Τότε μπήκαν στο κάστρο και το κατέστρεψαν. Then|they entered|into|castle|and|it|they destroyed então|entraram|no|castelo|e|o|destruíram Then they entered the castle and destroyed it. Então entraram no castelo e o destruíram. Έκαψαν τα σπίτια της χώρας και μπήκαν στις εκκλησίες όπου έσφαξαν τους γέρους.

Incendiaram as casas do país e entraram nas igrejas onde massacraram os idosos.

Κρυμμένη πίσω από μια κολόνα της εκκλησίας, κρατώντας σφιχτά ένα μαχαίρι, περίμενε η Θέκλα να έλθουν οι Βούλγαροι για να τους πολεμήσει και να πέσει σαν άξια αδερφή του Χαραλάμπη, όχι όμως να παραδοθεί.

Escondida atrás de uma coluna da igreja, segurando firmemente uma faca, Thekla esperava que os búlgaros chegassem para lutar contra eles e cair como uma digna irmã de Charalambos, mas não para se render.

Μα έγινε τότε ένα μεγάλο θαύμα, όπως διηγείται το «Χρονικό του Γαλαξειδιού». But|happened|then|a|great|miracle|as|narrates|the|Chronicle|of|Galaxidi mas|aconteceu|então|um|grande|milagre|como|narra|o|Crônica|de|Galaxidi But then a great miracle happened, as recounted in the "Chronicle of Galaxidi." Mas então aconteceu um grande milagre, como narra o "Crônica de Galaxidi". Την ώρα που ένας στρατιώτης έκλεβε τα χρυσά σκεύη της εκκλησίας χωρίστηκε το χέρι του από το σώμα κι αυτός έπεσε νεκρός. The|hour|when|a|soldier|was stealing|the|golden|vessels|of the|church|was separated|the|hand|his|from|the|body|and|he|fell|dead a|hora|quando|um|soldado|roubava|os|dourados|utensílios|da|igreja|separou-se|a|mão|de|de|o|corpo|e|ele|caiu|morto At the moment when a soldier was stealing the golden vessels of the church, his hand was severed from his body and he fell dead. No momento em que um soldado roubava os utensílios de ouro da igreja, sua mão se separou do corpo e ele caiu morto.

Την ίδια στιγμή φανερώθηκε ένας καβαλάρης με όπλα φωτεινά και ρίχθηκε στους Βουλγάρους με το σπαθί στο χέρι, σκοτώνοντας όλους όσοι ήταν μέσα στην εκκλησία. The|same|moment|appeared|a|horseman|with|weapons|bright|and|charged|at the|Bulgarians|with|the|sword|in the|hand|killing|all|those who|were|inside|in the|church a|mesma|momento|apareceu|um|cavaleiro|com|armas|brilhantes|e|lançou-se|aos|búlgaros|com|a|espada|na|mão|matando|todos|aqueles que|estavam|dentro|na|igreja At the same moment, a horseman appeared with shining weapons and charged at the Bulgarians with a sword in hand, killing all those inside the church. No mesmo momento, apareceu um cavaleiro com armas brilhantes e lançou-se contra os búlgaros com a espada na mão, matando todos os que estavam dentro da igreja. Ύστερα έδιωξε τους άλλους ως τα βουνά κι έγινε άφαντος. Then|he drove away|the|others|to|the|mountains|and|he became|invisible depois|expulsou|os|outros|para|as|montanhas|e|tornou-se|invisível Then he drove the others into the mountains and became invisible. Depois, ele expulsou os outros para as montanhas e desapareceu.

Μετά το θάνατο του Χαραλάμπη, η Θέκλα δε θέλησε να μείνει πια στο Γαλαξείδι και πήγε στην Πόλη, όπου είχαν καταφύγει μερικοί γνωστοί της. After|the|death|of|Charalambis|the|Thekla|not|wanted|to|stay|anymore|in the|Galaxidi|and|went|to the|City|where|had|taken refuge|some|acquaintances|of her após|a|morte|de|Haralambos|a|Thecla|não|quis|que|ficasse|mais|em|Galaxidi|e|foi|à|Cidade|onde|tinham|refugiado|alguns|conhecidos|dela After Charalambos' death, Thekla did not want to stay in Galaxidi anymore and went to the City, where some of her acquaintances had taken refuge. Após a morte de Charalambos, Thekla não quis mais ficar em Galaxidi e foi para a Cidade, onde alguns conhecidos seus haviam se refugiado.

Η Αυτοκράτειρα έμαθε την ιστορία της, και τόσο συγκινήθηκε και θαύμασε τη διαγωγή της, που την πήρε στο παλάτι, την έβαλε στη συνοδεία της και την ονόμασε κουβικουλαρία.

A Imperatriz soube da sua história e ficou tão comovida e admirou tanto a sua conduta, que a levou para o palácio, colocou-a em sua comitiva e a nomeou cubiculária. Εκεί ζούσε με τις βασιλοπούλες που την αγάπησαν ευθύς και της φέρονταν σαν αδερφή τους.

Lá vivia com as princesas que a amavam imediatamente e a tratavam como uma irmã.

Ωστόσο, γοργά αρματώνουνταν ο στόλος, και ο Ευστάθιος Δαφνομήλης ειδοποίησε τον Αυτοκράτορα πως ήταν έτοιμος να ξεκινήσει για το Δυρράχιο. However|quickly|was being armed|the|fleet|and|the|Eustathius|Daphnomilis|informed|the|Emperor|that|was|ready|to|depart|for|the|Dyrrhachium no entanto|rapidamente|estava sendo armado|a|frota|e|o|Eustáquio|Dafnomílis|avisou|o|Imperador|que|estava|pronto|para|partir|para|o|Durrës Meanwhile, the fleet was quickly being armed, and Eustathios Daphnomilis informed the Emperor that he was ready to set off for Dyrrachium. No entanto, a frota estava rapidamente sendo armada, e Eustáquio Dafnomílis avisou o Imperador que estava pronto para partir para Dyrrachium. Τότε ο Βασιλέας φώναξε τον Αλέξιο. Then|the|King|called|the|Alexios então|o|Rei|chamou|o|Alexios Then the King called for Alexios. Então o Rei chamou Alexios.

— Ο στόλος θα κάνει πανιά για το Δυρράχιο σε λίγες μέρες, του είπε, και είναι ανάγκη να το μάθει ο Δυνάστης Χρυσήλιος εγκαίρως, για να λάβει τα μέτρα του.

Τόσο συγκινήθηκε ο Αλέξιος για την τιμή που του έκαμνε ο Βασιλέας δείχνοντας του τόση εμπιστοσύνη, που δεν έβρισκε πια τις κατάλληλες λέξεις να ευχαριστήσει. So|was moved|the|Alexios|for|the|honor|that|to him|was doing|the|King|showing|to him|so much|trust|that|not|was finding|anymore|the|appropriate|words|to|thank tão|emocionou-se|o|Alexios|por|a|honra|que|a ele|fazia|o|Rei|mostrando|a ele|tanta|confiança|que|não|encontrava|mais|as|adequadas|palavras|para|agradecer Alexios was so moved by the honor the King showed him by placing such trust in him, that he could no longer find the right words to express his gratitude. Alexios ficou tão emocionado com a honra que o Rei lhe fazia ao demonstrar tanta confiança, que não conseguia mais encontrar as palavras adequadas para agradecer.

Ο Βασίλειος του έδωσε τότε ένα γράμμα για τον Χρυσήλιο. The|Vasileios|to him|gave|then|a|letter|for|the|Chrysilios o|Basílio|a ele|deu|então|uma|carta|para|o|Crisilios Vasileios then gave him a letter for Chryselios. Basilio então lhe deu uma carta para Crisílio.

— Δε γράφει τίποτε άλλο εκτός πως είσαι εμπιστευμένος μου αγγελιαφόρος και πως εσύ θα του μεταδώσεις τις θελήσεις μου και τις αποφάσεις μου.

— Πήγαινε λοιπόν, κι ο Θεός βοήθεια σου, είπε ο Βασιλέας. Go|then|and|the|God|help|your|said|the|King vai|então|e|o|Deus|ajuda|sua|disse|o|Rei — Go then, and may God help you, said the King. — Vá então, e que Deus te ajude, disse o Rei.

Ο Αλέξιος το πήρε, λύγισε στο ένα γόνατο και φίλησε το δυνατό αυτό χέρι με βαθιά συγκίνηση.

Alexios a pegou, se ajoelhou em um joelho e beijou essa mão forte com profunda emoção. Ύστερα σήκωσε τη βαριά μεταξωτή κουρτίνα της πόρτας και βγήκε από το δωμάτιο.
