We have in common доля = dola , судьба sounds intereseting , who knows the origin !?
предначертание = przeznaczenie !?

судьба sounds intereseting , who knows the origin !?

An obvious verbal noun from судить (sudít') in the meaning "to destine", "to predetermine" < "to pronounce a judgement". Cf. impersonal суждено (suzhdenó, from Church Slavonic) "it is destined/fated"; суженый (súzhenyi) "one's betrothed; a groom; a promised (husband)".

предначертание = przeznaczenie !?

Prednachertániye (apparently of Church Slavonic origin) - literally "pre-inscription"; for the underlying belief that a person's fate is written somewhere cf. various parallel expressions, like impersonal "на роду написано" (na rodú napísano, ~(it is) written on (one's) birth), "на судьбе написано" (na sud'bé napísano, ~(it is) written on (one's) fate), etc.
