Brainteaser: a Panegyric in Old Belarusian
A mysterious panegyric verse on the arms of the famous [BLANK] family from the little-known New Testament published in the Holy Ghost Monastery in Vilnia (Vilnius) in 1623:
Клейнотъ гербовъ совытый, з двоякой цноты
Домом зацным неданы есть: пре дѣльность, труд, поты
Двема кресты з стрѣлою дом […] славных:
Бог, Свѣтъ, Моужство, Очизна, з вѣков стародавных
Вы выешыли: крестами врага души громать
Противников Отчизны, стрѣлою огонять
Домом зацным неданы есть: пре дѣльность, труд, поты
Двема кресты з стрѣлою дом […] славных:
Бог, Свѣтъ, Моужство, Очизна, з вѣков стародавных
Вы выешыли: крестами врага души громать
Противников Отчизны, стрѣлою огонять
The rich jewel of blazoned arms with double virtue two crosses with an arrow
was granted to noble houses courage, toil and sweat.
God, the world, manly virtue and their country
from ancient ages did exalt the house of famed [BLANK];
with crosses they confounded the souls of their adversaries
and with arrows drove forth the foes of the fatherland
Which noble family is that?

This must be Sapieha family. Their coat of arms is Lis
“Ma być strzała biała w polu czerwonym, dwa jelca na niej tak ułożone, że się zdadzą jakby dwa krzyże. Nad hełmem Lis z korony niby wyskakujący…
Kasper Niesiecki, Herbarz, VI, 124-125″
This is also the coat of arms of my family. I am Polish. We shared a big piece of common history…
Interestingly, judging by the text you cited, Old Belarussian is much closer to Polish than contemporary Belarussian.
