It seemed as though he had taken a vow never to raise his voice and never to make use of the imperative.
Похоже на то, как будто он дал обет никогда не возвышать голоса и не употреблять повелительного наклонения.

And I will not either, for Guy would have to release me from the vow, or be proved dead, before I would speak.
Да и я тебе ничего не скажу - от данной клятвы меня может освободить только Гай или же должны явиться доказательства его смерти - только тогда я решусь заговорить.

He used to ride through the aouls and the people used to come out and kiss the him of his coat and confess their sins and vow to do no evil.
Он ездил по аулам, и народ выходил к нему, целовал полы его черкески и каялся в грехах, и клялся не делать дурного.

Her vow of obedience left a startling amount of room, it seemed, and the three seemed to have become close since his argument with Egwene.
Клятвенное обещание Морейн подчиняться ему оставляло ей на изумление широкое пространство для маневра, а после его спора с Эгвейн эта троица будто сплотилась.

Alone she was, and did communicate to herself her own words to her own ears; she thought, I dare vow for her, they touch'd not any stranger sense.
Она была одна и говорила вслух сама с собой, поверяя свои слова только собственным ушам: я ручаюсь, - она не подозревала, что кто-нибудь посторонний слышит ее.

I was confident that should I go back on my vow and keep my Grandfather's dreadful secret to myself, I could rest easy with such contained knowledge, and its cosseting would not contaminate or poison me.
Мне лично ничем не угрожало возможное клятвопреступление и сокрытие прегрешений Сальвадора: эта тайна никак не смогла бы разъесть меня изнутри.

Before entering he stopped on the threshold, raised his hand as if making a solemn vow, and cried:
Прежде чем войти, он остановился в дверях и, как только увидел князя, поднял кверху правую руку с разогнутым указательным пальцем и прокричал в виде клятвы:

As I assume the Presidency for a second time, it is appropriate for me to renew the solemn vow I made six years ago soon after taking the oath of office:
Сейчас, когда я во второй раз вступаю в должность Президента, мне весьма уместно возобновить ту торжественную клятву, которую я принес шесть лет назад вскоре после принесения присяги:

He'll vow to be true to you, and that very day he will just as truthfully, just as sincerely, devote himself to someone else; and what's more he'll be the first person to come and tell you about it.
Он вот поклянется тебе, да в тот же день, так же правдиво и искренно, другому отдастся; да еще сам первый к тебе придет рассказать об этом.

They lived from the very first day in great and unfeigned harmony, jealously guarding their marriage vow, and like one soul in two bodies.
Стали они жить с самого первого дня в великом и нелицемерном согласии, опасно соблюдая свое супружество, и как единая душа в двух телесах.

"We'll see it out!" I ardently echoed, giving her my hand to make it a vow.
— Вдвоем мы с вами выдержим! — горячо откликнулась я, подавая руку миссис Гроуз, как бы для того, чтобы скрепить нашу клятву.

Kozeltzoff did not speak the exact truth when he said that this was all the money he had. He had, besides, four gold pieces sewn into his cuff, in case of an emergency; but he had taken a vow not to touch them.
Сказав, что это были все его деньги, Козельцов говорил не совсем правду: у него было еще 4 золотых, зашитых на всякий случай в обшлаге, но которые он дал себе слово ни за что не трогать.
