Examples from texts

'Ay! ay! ay!’ responded the deacon emphatically with a sort of drawl, drumming with his fingers in his beard, and eyeing Tchertophanov with his bright eager eyes:
– Э! э! э! э! – промолвил с расстановкой, как бы с оттяжкой, дьякон, играя перстами в бороде и озирая Чертопханова своими светлыми жадными глазами.

The executioner of the Holy Inquisition was a sub-deacon, and knew how to burn people marvellously well, but he was not accustomed to hanging.
Палач святой инквизиции в сане иподьякона сжигал людей великолепно, надо отдать ему должное, но вешать он не умел.

One can hear the singing in church and the deacon reads so plainly and verbally that it will reach him every time just as though it were read over his grave."
Из церкви пение слышно, а дьякон так чисторечиво и словесно читает, что всё до него кажный раз долетит, точно бы над могилкой его читали...

get out!’ he yelled suddenly, his eyes flashing with fury, and instantaneously he disappeared out of the sight of the amazed deacon.
отвяжись! – гаркнул он вдруг, бешено сверкнув глазами, и мгновенно скрылся из виду у изумленного дьякона.

Sofya Ivanovna was the daughter of an obscure deacon, and was left from childhood an orphan without relations. She grew up in the house of a general's widow, a wealthy old lady of good position, who was at once her benefactress and tormentor.
Софья Ивановна была из "сироток", безродная с детства, дочь какого-то темного дьякона, взросшая в богатом доме своей благодетельницы, воспитательницы и мучительницы, знатной генеральши старухи, вдовы генерала Ворохова.

In the big drawing-room, by a table prepared for service, Fyodor Stepanovitch stood, evidently waiting for them, and with him the priest in a calotte, and a deacon.
В большой зале около стола, приготовленного для молебна, стояли, очевидно в ожидании, Федор Степаныч, священник в камилавке и дьякон.

A little red-haired man with a long nose and a Jewish accent arrived; then a tall, stooping, shaggy individual, who looked like a head deacon; then a stout young man with a red face and spectacles.
Приходил маленький, рыженький, с длинным носом и с еврейским акцентом, потом высокий, сутулый, лохматый, похожий на протодьякона, потом молодой, очень полный, с красным лицом и в очках.

And he was again the most worthless, the most contemptible of men, a common laughing-stock, a motley fool, a damned idiot, an object for jibes--to a deacon!...
И он опять ничтожнейший, презреннейший из людей, общее посмешище, шут гороховый, зарезанный дурак, предмет насмешки – для дьякона!!

For nearly three years you've been arguing like an ignorant deacon, and talking all sorts of nonsense, and now you've written -- this slavish drivel here!

His reverence the deacon prided himself on his fluency, which was a great source of vexation to his reverence the priest, to whom the gift of words had not been vouchsafed; even vodka did not loosen his tongue.
– Отец дьякон славился красноречием, чем сильно досаждал отцу попу, которому дар слова присущ не был: даже водка не развязывала ему язык.

My father the deacon wrought him his first hose — Od, I am thinking Deacon Threeplie, the rape-spinner, will be twisting his last cravat.
Мой отец, почтенный декан, выткал его первые штаны, а декан Триппи, сучильщик каната, чего доброго, сплетет ему последний галстук!
