I don't understand some parts of a text which is called عاقبة البغي (about 10th century) and I hope somebody can help me by looking through what I translated (it's only important if I understand it right) Thanks in advance!
- وإن رآك لم آمن عليك، قم إلى ذلك البيت فاختبىء فيه، حتى إذا ناموا جئتك = And when he saw you, he wouldn't believe
(in?) you, so head to this house and hide yourself in it, until they sleep and I come to you ?
- زرفنت بابه، فأيقنت أني مقتول، وأن ذلك لغرض كان في ثيابي و مالي، فتبت إلى الله من الحرام، وعاهدته إن خلصني. أن لا أدخل في شيء من ذلك = she ? the door, and I understood that I would be killed, and that this with the aim to get my clothes and my money, so I prayed to God for mercy, and I promised him that, If he released me, that I would not bring myself in a situation like this again.
ودخل الأسود إلي بسيف مسلول، فما زال يضربني موشحًا
the Black came in with a remarkable sword and he didn't
stop hitting me violently(?)
فنام إلى جانبها، وقامت العجوز، فجللتهم، ولم يكن في الدار غير هم
Then he slept next to her, and the old woman got up, and ? them, and there was nobody in the house, but them.
فأقمت شهورا أعالج، إلى أن عوفيت، فلما خرجت، وتصرفت، لم يكن لي هم إلا طلب المرأج في الطريق والأسواق
And I spent months contemplating, until I was full of hate/disgust, and when I left and acted, I had no ambition, but to see the woman on the street and in banishment.
وكنت قد غيرت زيي، وطولت لحيتي، حتى تغيرت هيأتي عليها
I had changed my clothes, and let my beard grow, until I looked different to her
ومشيت علي مذهب الخراسانية، وجئت أطلبها
And I passed the Way al-Kharasanya (or concrete street??), and I came for her
فقال لها الأسود: أيش جبت اليوم؟
قالت: بطة سمينة، خراساني معه هميان ملآن.
And the black asked her: What did you bring today?
And she said: A fat drake from (the North of) Persia, with both (pockets) full (of money)
فخرجت االدار، وتكلمت بلسان فصيح، وقد كنت أكلمهم بلسان الخراسانية، فأيقنت الجارية بالعلاك.
And she/I left the house and talked fluently (with a running tongue) and when I had talked to them with a heavy tongue, she understood the current conditions.
