Try to remember the quotes as they are - you won't lose marks for one or two inaccuracies but you will for sheer laziness!

No, don't translate them. Study them the way they are. It's not the hardest language to read, if you 'translate' them over it'll be a new language and therefore not 'shakespearean' the way MacBeth was written.

Our teacher never mentioned it about losing marks she took it that we'd write them the way it's presented to us. It's not that much of a distinction anyways.
