So I'm translating some stuff for a friend I know, and I'd appreciate it if someone could point out where all my horrible glaring errors are (I'm by not means an expert at Russian, I've only done a few courses).

The first bit is a guy yelling at a girl.

(I'm using jpgs cause I don't know how to type in Russian...)
It should say something like.
"Blasphemer!"
"You dare disturb our peace with your devil's magic?!"
"Get out! Out, blasphemer!"

(Now, of course, my dictionary doesn't list blasphemer, but he said I could try using defiler or invader instead.)

The second bit is two guys talking.

"Hello, Alexie. The years have been kind to you."
"Liar. But we cannot all stay young forever , eh?"

(Some of this one I had no idea how to do, and I changed it to time cause I wasn't sure how to do it with years, but even then I'm wondering "Is time an entity with a gender in Russian?")

Also I believe that these characters are members of the Orthodox church, so I'm not sure if that would change how they speak (I think it could in the first bit, it should be a bit more religious I think).

Anyway, thanks for your help.

(This seems like one of the odder requests I've seen in this community... Also, please excuse my handwriting, as I have dysgraphia.)
