The elves were the first to charge (эльфы напали первыми; to charge — зд. воен. атаковать, набрасываться). Their hatred for the goblins (их ненависть к гоблинам) is cold and bitter (холодная и жесточенная: «горькая»). Their spears and swords shone (их копья и мечи сияли; to shine (shone) ) in the gloom (во мраке) with a gleam of chill flame (/с/ блеском холодного пламени), so deadly was the wrath of the hands (такой смертоносной была ярость рук; deadly — смертельный, убийственный) that held them (что держали их; to hold (held) ). As soon as the host of their enemies (как только войско их врагов) was dense in the valley (стало плотно по всей долине), they sent against it a shower of arrows (они направили в: «против» них целый град стрел; shower — ливень), and each flickered (и каждая вспыхивала) as it fled (когда она летела = летя) as if with stinging fire (словно с жалящим огнем). Behind the arrows (за стрелами) a thousand of their spearmen (тысяча их копьеносцев) leapt down and charged (спрыгнула вниз /со склонов отрога/ и напала /на врага/). The yells were deafening (вопли были оглушительными; deaf—глухой; todeafen — оглушать, делать глухим, заглушать). The rocks were stained black (скалы покрылись черными пятнами: «окрасились черным»; stain — пятно; to stain — пятнать, покрывать пятнами; пачкать) with goblin blood (от крови гоблинов). Just as the goblins were recovering from the onslaught (как только гоблины пришли в себя от стремительного натиска; onslaught — стремительная атака, натиск, удар, нападение) and the elf-charge was halted (и атака эльфов была остановлена), there rose from across the valley (через всю долину поднялся) a deep-throated roar (низкий гортанный рев; throat — горло, гортань). With cries of “Moria!” and “Dain, Dain!” (с криками «Мория!» и «Дейн, Дейн!») the dwarves of the Iron Hills plunged in (стремительно продвигались гномы с Железных Холмов; toplunge—нырять, погружать (ся), броситься, рванутьсявперед, ринуться), wielding their mattocks (умело обращаясь своими мотыгами), upon the other side (с другой стороны /отрога горы/); and beside them came the men of the Lake (и рядом с ними приближались и люди с Озера) with long swords (с длинными мечами).
