Proverbs 7
1 My son, heed my advice, and guard my instructions [as you would] [MET] [guard] a treasure.
내 아들아 내 말을 지키며 내 명령을 네게 간직하라
2 Obey my commands, and [as a result you will] live [a good life]. Consider the things that I teach you [to be very precious]; guard them, [just] like you protect your eyes.
내 명령을 지켜서 살며 내 법을 네 눈동자처럼 지키라!
3 Tie my commands around your fingers [in order that they will remind you to obey them]. Always keep them in mind [MET].
이것을 네 손가락에 매며 이것을 네 마음판에 새기라
4 [Love] wisdom [like you love] your sister. Understand what is wise, [and let that be as dear to you as] members of your family.
지혜에게 너는 내 누이라 하며 명철에게 너는 내 친족이라 하라
5 If you are wise and if you understand what is wise [PRS], you will not [sleep with] an immoral woman; you will not listen to a woman who tries to entice you [to sleep with her] by what she says.
그리하면 이것이 너를 지켜서 음녀에게, 말로 호리는 이방 계집에게 빠지지 않게 하리라
6 One day, I was standing at the window inside my house, and I looked outside.
내가 내 집 들창으로, 살창으로 내어다 보다가
7 I saw some young men who did not have good sense. Among them was a man who was very foolish.
어리석은자 중에, 소년 중에 한 지혜 없는 자를 보았노라
8 He crossed the street near [the house of] an immoral woman. He was walking along the path toward her house
그가 거리를 지나 음녀의 골목 모퉁이로 가까이 하여 그 집으로 들어가는데
9 at twilight, when it was getting dark [DOU].
저물 때, 황혼 때, 깊은밤 흑암 중에라
10 Suddenly the woman came out to see/meet him. She was dressed (seductively/like a prostitute), wanting to persuade him to sleep with her.
그 때에 기생의 옷을 입은 간교한 계집이 그를 맞으니
11 She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home.
이 계집은 떠들며 완패하며 그 발이 집에 머물지 아니하여
12 She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man.
어떤 때에는 거리, 어떤 때에는 광장 모퉁이, 모퉁이에 서서 사람을 기다리는 자라
13 [When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said,
그 계집이 그를 붙잡고 입을 맞추며 부끄러움을 모르는 얼굴로 말하되
14 “I have [some meat that is left over from] a sacrifice that I made today [to maintain fellowship with Yahweh]; I have fulfilled/done what I promised him that I would do.
내가 화목제를 드려서 서원한 것을 오늘날 갚았노라
15 And now I have come out to meet/see you. I was searching for you, and [now] I have found you!
이러므로 내가 너를 맞으려고 나와서 네 얼굴을 찾다가 너를 만났도다
16 I have put on my bed sheets/bedspreads that were made from [very fine] linen [that were imported] {[people brought]} from Egypt.
내 침상에는 화문 요와 애굽의 문채 있는 이불을 폈고
17 I have sprinkled [sweet-smelling] perfumes on my bed— myrrh and aloes and cinnamon.
몰약과 침향과 계피를 뿌렸노라
18 Come [with me]; let us enjoy having sex until [tomorrow] morning. Let’s enjoy making love.
오라, 우리가 아침까지 흡족하게 서로 사랑하며 사랑함으로 희락하자
19 My husband is not at home; he has gone away on a long journey.
남편은 집을 떠나 먼 길을 갔는데
20 He is carrying a wallet filled with money, and he will not return until the middle of this month.”
은 주머니를 가졌은즉 보름에나 집에 돌아오리라 하여
21 [So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk.
여러가지 고운 말로 혹하게 하며 입술의 호리는 말로 꾀므로
22 [And] he went with her immediately, like an ox that was going to where it would be slaughtered, or like a deer (OR, a fool) that is stepping into a noose/trap,
소년이 곧 그를 따랐으니 소가 푸주로 가는 것 같고 미련한 자가 벌을 받으려고 쇠사슬에 매이러 가는 것과 일반이라
23 where it will remain/stay until someone shoots an arrow into its liver [and kills it]. [He was] like a bird that flew into a trap. He did not know that (it would cost him his life/he would die as a result).
필경은 살이 그 간을 뚫기까지에 이를 것이라 새가 빨리 그물로 들어가되 그 생명을 잃어버릴 줄을 알지 못함과 일반이니라
24 My son, listen to what I say; pay [careful] attention to my words.
아들들아 나를 듣고 내 입의 말에 주의하라
25 Do not allow anything to arouse/persuade you to go with an immoral woman like that. Do not go where she goes.
네 마음이 음녀의 길로 치우치지 말며 그 길에 미혹지 말지어다
26 She has caused many men to be ruined; truly, no one can count the men she has killed.
대저 그가 많은 사람을 상하여 엎드러지게 하였나니 그에게 죽은자가 허다하니라
