Translations for prayer in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
The priest anointed with holy oil the feet and hands and forehead of the dying woman, repeated a short prayer, and Marguerite was ready to set out for the heaven to which I doubt not she will go, if God has seen the ordeal of her life and the sanctity of her death. | «Le prêtre oignit des huiles saintes les pieds, les mains et le front de la mourante, récita une courte prière, et Marguerite se trouva prête à partir pour le ciel où elle ira sans doute, si Dieu a vu les épreuves de sa vie et la sainteté de sa mort. |
The Lady with the Camellias, by Alexandre Dumas son | La Dame aux Camélias, de Alexandre Dumas fils |
"But pray, sir," continued Aramis, who, seeing his captain become appeased, ventured to risk a prayer, "do not say that Athos is wounded. He would be in despair if that should come to the ears of the king; and as the wound is very serious, seeing that after crossing the shoulder it penetrates into the chest, it is to be feared--" | — Mais, de grâce, monsieur, continua Aramis, qui, voyant son capitaine s’apaiser, osait hasarder une prière, de grâce, monsieur, ne dites pas qu’Athos est blessé : il serait au désespoir que cela parvînt aux oreilles du roi, et comme la blessure est des plus graves, attendu qu’après avoir traversé l’épaule elle pénètre dans la poitrine, il serait à craindre… |

“Of the origin of the Hound of the Baskervilles there have been many statements, yet as I come in a direct line from Hugo Baskerville, and as I had the story from my father, who also had it from his, I have set it down with all belief that it occurred even as is here set forth. And I would have you believe, my sons, that the same Justice which punishes sin may also most graciously forgive it, and that no ban is so heavy but that by prayer and repentance it may be removed. Learn then from this story not to fear the fruits of the past, but rather to be circumspect in the future, that those foul passions whereby our family has suffered so grievously may not again be loosed to our undoing. | « On a parlé souvent du chien des Baskerville. Comme je descends en ligne directe de Hugo Baskerville et que je tiens cette histoire de mon père, qui la tenait lui-même du sien, je l’ai écrite avec une conviction sincère en sa véracité. Je voudrais que mes descendants crussent que la même justice qui punit le péché sait aussi le pardonner miséricordieusement, et qu’il n’existe pas de si terrible malédiction que ne puissent racheter le repentir et les prières. Je voudrais que, pour leur salut, mes petits enfants apprissent, non pas à redouter les suites du passé, mais à devenir plus circonspects dans l’avenir et à réprouver les détestables passions qui ont valu à notre famille de si douloureuses épreuves. |

Sir Henry lay insensible where he had fallen. We tore away his collar, and Holmes breathed a prayer of gratitude when we saw that there was no sign of a wound and that the rescue had been in time. Already our friend’s eyelids shivered and he made a feeble effort to move. Lestrade thrust his brandy-flask between the baronet’s teeth, and two frightened eyes were looking up at us. | Sir Henry s’était évanoui. Nous déchirâmes son col et Holmes murmura une prière d’action de grâces, en ne découvrant aucune trace de blessure. Dans quelques minutes, le baronnet serait revenu à lui. Déjà notre jeune ami ouvrait ses yeux et essayait de se lever. Lestrade lui desserra les dents et lui fit avaler quelques gouttes de cognac. |
