    Please edit this translation for me.

    Злобный верит золоту, и насильственный krovi, да надежда мудрого -- слово.

    The wicked man puts his trust in gold, and the violent man, in blood; but the word is the hope of the wise.

    And many thanks to the people who told me about the sites that allow you to post in cyrillic.

    Пожалуйста, кто-то скажи мне, есть ли ошибки где-то.

    Thanks, Ramil. I have one further question for you. I am not familiar with zhe the way you use it. I guess it means something like "on the other hand" in English, but is there a rule about where it comes in the sentence?

    слово -- надежда же мудрого.
    Wrong word order. The correct ones:
    1. Надежда же мудрого -- слово. (original one)
    2. Слово же -- надежда мудрого.
    3. Надежда мудрого же -- слово. (but this one sounds a bit clumsy, because it crashes the rythm of speech, although I guess this is correct grammatically).
    The pair -- ЖЕ + its referenced word should go before the general reference.

    "же" in this meaning is pretty similar to "though", "but", "while", etc.
    It comes after any word to put the hard sense stress to it. E.g.:

    Красная же книга где-то потерялась... -- Though the red book has been lost somewhere.
    Грибы растут в лесу. Трава же может расти где угодно. -- Mushrooms grow in forest. But grass can grow anywhere.

    And yes, "же" can be thought as "on the other hand". It opposes the word it comes after to something else from whether the context or the sentence.

    Read this:
    http://lingvo.yandex.ru/en?text=%D0%B6% ... anslate=on
    All the meanings are there.

    If Ramil’s one doesn’t suit you, though it’s basically the same.

    Порочный доверяет золоту, свирепый -- крови, опора мудрого же -- слово.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?

    Злой верит злату,
    крови — жестокий,
    надежда мудрого — слово.


    Злой верит злату, [злату = золоту, но устаревшее; зато лучше звучит]
    крови — жестокий, ["—" used instead of hidden "верит"]
    надежда мудрого — слово. ["—" used instead of "is": надежда мудрого есть слово]
