Save and Protect


Explanation:
As you can see the paragraph on this page:

14 kt. Russian Orthodox 8-Point Cross
AdoptionShop Price: $89.00
1-inch 8-point cross. Each cross has an Orthodox prayer "Save and Protect" on the back. Ideal as a baptismal gift!

agree  H.A. (X): Good girl! Before jumping in with an answer, first check the price and references :-)
25 mins
  -> Thank you, and as we all know, a cheap one will neither Save nor Protect nearly as well as an expensive one.
agree  Alexandra Tussing: :) I didn't know God looked at the price of your cross...
1 hr
  -> well then why wear a cross if God loves us all equally anyway.
agree  Steffen Pollex (X): Looks like this is it. But hardly could I make this out from the text given in the request. It does not sound Russian at all. Snimayu shlyapu, devushki. Vidno est' nad chem porabotat' - nesmotrya na 25 let. Tagir - ;-)
3 hrs
  -> Hafiza is peiceless - I wouldn't have figured out the Cyrillc original given.
agree  Liv Bliss (X): If we all ordered one, would you get a commission, Milana? You should.

SPASI I SOKHRANI


Explanation:
If my guess is correct, the Cyrillic (Russian) must look like this: СПАСИ И СОХРАНИ (meaning SAVE AND GUARD (or KEEP). The pronunciation is: spa-SEA ee sokh-rah-NEE.

Save and Redeem


Explanation:
I think "redeem" is what the (American) English speaker would use in this case. Of course, (almost) all other answers also make sense, including the translations and pronunciation.
