"The people of the city would not suffer him to slay their people (люди города = жители города не потерпели бы его убивать их людей = чтобы он убивал их людей = их близких), but they care nought for the strangers who fall into his hands (но им совершенно наплевать на чужеземцев: «они заботятся ничего для чужеземцев», которые попадают в его руки). Conan, you are of the West, and know not the secrets of this ancient land (Конан, ты с Запада, и не знаешь секретов этой древней земли). But, since the beginning of happenings, the demons of the desert have worshipped Yog, the Lord of the Empty Abodes (но с начала событий = сущего демоны пустыни поклоняются Йогу, Владыке Пустых Обиталищ), with fire — fire that devours human victims (с /помощью/ огня — огня, который пожирает человеческие жертвы).

"Why does he always carry off strangers?" asked Conan skeptically.

"Be warned (будь предупрежден = осторожен)! You have dwelt for many moons in the tents of the Zuagirs, and you are our brother (ты прожил много лун в палатках зуагиров, и ты наш брат)! Go not to the house of Aram Baksh (не ходи в дом Арама Бахша)!"

"Get out of sight!" Conan said suddenly (уйди из виду = скройся! — сказал вдруг Конан). "Yonder comes a squad of the city watch (вон идет отряд городской стражи). If they see you they may remember a horse that was stolen from the satrap's stable (если они увидят тебя, они могут вспомнить лошадь, которая была украдена из конюшни сатрапа; to steal — красть) —»

The Zuagir gasped and moved convulsively (зуагир открыл рот и судорожно дернулся). He ducked between a booth and a stone horse trough (он отступил /в пространство/ между палаткой и каменным желобом-поилкой для лошадей), pausing only long enough to chatter: "Be warned, my brother (остановившись лишь достаточно долго = настолько, /чтобы/ прострекотать: будь осторожен, мой брат)! There are demons in the house of Aram Baksh (в доме Арама Бахша /там есть/ демоны)!" Then he darted down a narrow alley and was gone (затем он бросился по узкой аллее и пропал: «был пропавшим / ушедшим»; to go — уходить, уезжать, идти, ехать).

Conan shifted his broad sword-belt to his liking (Конан сместил свой широкий пояс для меча поудобнее: «на свой вкус») and calmly returned the searching stares directed at him by the squad of watchmen (и спокойно ответил на ищущие взгляды, направленные на него отрядом стражников) as they swung past (когда они проходили мимо мерным шагом; to swing — проходить мерным шагом). They eyed him curiously and suspiciously (они разглядывали его с любопытством и подозрением), for he was a man who stood out even in such a motley throng as crowded the winding streets of Zamboula (так как он был человеком, который выделялся даже в такой пестрой толпе, как = которая запрудила извилистые улицы Замбулы). His blue eyes and alien features distinguished him from the Eastern swarms (его голубые глаза и чуждые /для этих мест/ черты /лица/, выделяли его из восточной толпы), and the straight sword at his hip added point to the racial difference (а прямой меч у /его/ бедра добавлял пунктик = /еще одну/ черту к расовому отличию).
