“Now for some music (а теперь, давайте музыку)!” said Thorin. “Bring out the instruments (вытаскивайте инструменты)!”

And of course they did none of these dreadful things, and everything was cleaned and put away safe as quick as lightning, while the hobbit was turning round and round in the middle of the kitchen trying to see what they were doing. Then they went back, and found Thorin with his feet on the fender smoking a pipe. He was blowing the most enormous smoke-rings, and wherever he told one to go, it went — up the chimney, or behind the clock on the mantelpiece, or under the table, or round and round the ceiling; but wherever it went it was not quick enough to escape Gandalf. Pop! he sent a smaller smoke-ring from his short clay-pipe straight through each one of Thorin’s. The Gandalf’s smoke-ring would go green and come back to hover over the wizard’s head. He had quite a cloud of them about him already, and in the dim light it made him look strange and sorcerous. Bilbo stood still and watched — he loved smoke-rings — and then he blushed to think how proud he had been yesterday morning of the smoke-rings he had sent up the wind over The Hill.

“Now for some music!” said Thorin. “Bring out the instruments!”

Kili and Fili rushed for their bags (Кили и Фили побежали за своими сумками) and brought back little fiddles (и принесли /назад/ маленькие скрипочки); Dori, Nori, and Ori brought out flutes (Дори, Нори и Ори достали флейты) from somewhere inside their coats (откуда-то из-за пазухи: «из внутренностей своих пальто»); Bombur produced a drum from the hall (Бомбур принес из холла барабан; to produce — предъявлять, создавать); Bifur and Bofur went out too (Бифур и Бофур тоже вышли), and came back with clarinets (и вернулись с кларнетами) that they had left among the walking-sticks (которые они до этого оставили среди тростей). Dwalin and Balin said: “Excuse me, I left mine in the porch (извините, я оставил свой /инструмент/ у крыльца)!”

“Just bring mine in with you (принесите и мой тоже с собой), ” said Thorin. They came back (они вернулись) with viols as big as themselves (с виолами, такими же большими, как и они сами), and with Thorin’s harp (и с арфой Торина) wrapped in a green cloth (завернутую в зеленое сукно). It was a beautiful golden harp (это была прекрасная золотистая арфа), and when Thorin struck it (и когда Торин ударил по ее /струнам/) the music began all at once (музыка зазвучала: «началась» внезапно), so sudden and sweet (такая неожиданная и сладкая) that Bilbo forgot everything else (что Бильбо забыл обо всем другом), and was swept away (и его унесло: «был унесен»; to sweep — мести, сметать) into dark lands under strange moons (в неизведанные земли под странными лунами; dark — темный; неясный), far over The Water (далеко по ту сторону Воды) and very far from his hobbit-hole under The Hill (и очень уж далеко от его хоббитовской норы под Холмом).
