I just translated a French libretto for the Shelabin version, which seems to work very well. This is the version recorded in the most recent two recordings, the Melodyia one you can find on Youtube and the Brilliant Classics version.

I actually like to the ending of this version, the betrothal ceremony, then a brief hopak and chorus and everybody just leaves and I imagine the stage just filled with bright summer morning sunlight.
