< 에스겔 23 >

1 여호와의 말씀이 또 내게 임하여 가라사대
Yahweh said to me,
2 인자야 두 여인이 있었으니 한 어미의 딸이라
“You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
3 그들이 애굽에서 행음하되 어렸을 때에 행음하여 그들의 유방이 눌리며 그 처녀의 가슴이 어루만진 바 되었었나니
They lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
4 그 이름이 형은 오홀라요 아우는 오홀리바라 그들이 내게 속하여 자녀를 낳았나니 그 이름으로 말하면 오홀라는 사마리아요 오홀리바는 예루살렘이니라
The older [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
5 오홀라가 내게 속하였을 때에 행음하여 그 연애하는 자 곧 그 이웃 앗수르 사람을 사모하였나니
Oholah acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
6 그들은 다 자색 옷을 입은 방백과 감독이요 준수한 소년, 말 타는 자들이라
[Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
7 그가 앗수르 중에 잘 생긴 그 모든 자들과 행음하고 누구를 연애하든지 그들의 모든 우상으로 스스로 더럽혔으며
She acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the men she wanted to have sex with.
8 그가 젊었을 때에 애굽사람과 동침하매 그 처녀의 가슴이 어루만진바 되며 그 몸에 음란을 쏟음을 당한바 되었더니 그가 그 때부터 행음함을 마지 아니하였느니라
When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
9 그러므로 내가 그를 그 정든 자 곧 그 연애하는 앗수르 사람의 손에 붙였더니
So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
10 그들이 그 하체를 드러내고 그 자녀를 빼앗으며 칼로 그를 죽여 그 누명을 여자에게 드러내었나니 이는 그들이 그에게 심문을 행함이니라
They stripped all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
11 그 아우 오홀리바가 이것을 보고도 그 형보다 음욕을 더하며 그 형의 간음함보다 그 간음이 더 심하므로 그 형보다 더 부패하여 졌느니라
[younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
12 그가 그 이웃 앗수르 사람을 연애하였나니 그들은 화려한 의복을 입은 방백과 감독이요 말타는 자들과 준수한 소년이었느니라
Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
13 그 두 여인이 한 길로 행하므로 그도 더러워졌음을 내가 보았노라
I saw what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
14 그가 음행을 더하였음은 붉은 것으로 벽에 그린 사람의 형상 곧 갈대아 사람의 형상을 보았음이니
But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
15 그 형상은 허리를 띠로 동이고 머리를 긴 수건으로 쌌으며 용모는 다 존귀한 자 곧 그 고토 갈대아 바벨론 사람 같은 것이라
The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
16 그가 보고 곧 연애하여 사자를 갈대아 그들에게로 보내매
As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
17 바벨론 사람이 나아와 연애하는 침상에 올라 음란으로 그를 더럽히매 그가 더럽힘을 입은 후에 그들을 싫어하는 마음이 생겼느니라
Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
18 그가 이와 같이 그 음행을 나타내며 그 하체를 드러내므로 내 마음이 그 형을 싫어한 것 같이 그를 싫어하였으나
But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] sister.
19 그가 그 음행을 더하여 그 젊었을 때 곧 애굽 땅에서 음행하던 때를 생각하고
But she became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
20 그 하체는 나귀 같고 그 정수는 말 같은 음란한 간부를 연애하였도다
There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
21 네가 젊었을 때에 행음하여 애굽 사람에게 네 가슴과 유방이 어루만진바 되었던 것을 오히려 생각하도다
So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her breasts.”
22 그러므로 오홀리바야 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 너의 연애하다가 싫어하던 자들을 격동시켜서 그들로 사방에서 와서 너를 치게 하리니
“[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
23 그들은 바벨론 사람과 갈대아 모든 무리 브곳과 소아와 고아 사람과 또 그와 함께 한 모든 앗수르 사람 곧 준수한 소년이며 다 방백과 감독이며 귀인과 유명한 자, 다 말 타는 자들이라
soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on horses.
24 그들이 병기와 병거와 수레와 크고 작은 방패를 이끌고 투구 쓴 군대를 거느리고 치러 와서 너를 에워쌀지라 내가 심문권을 그들에게 맡긴즉 그들이 그 심문권대로 너를 심문하리라
Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
25 내가 너를 향하여 투기를 발하리니 그들이 분노로 네게 행하여 네 코와 귀를 깎아버리고 남은 자를 칼로 엎드러뜨리며 네 자녀를 빼앗고 그 남은 자를 불에 사르며
Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
26 또 네 옷을 벗기며 네 장식품을 빼앗을지라
They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
27 이와 같이 내가 네 음란과 애굽 땅에서부터 음행하던 것을 그치게 하여 너로 그들을 향하여 눈을 들지도 못하게 하며 다시는 애굽을 기억하지도 못하게 하리라
In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] Egypt.’
28 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 너의 미워하는 자와 네 마음에 싫어하는 자의 손에 너를 붙이리니
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
29 그들이 미워하는 마음으로 네게 행하여 네 모든 수고한 것을 빼앗고 너를 벌거벗겨 적신으로 두어서 네 음행의 벗은 몸 곧 네 음란하며 음행하던 것을 드러낼 것이라
They will be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
30 네가 이같이 당할 것은 네가 음란히 이방을 좇고 그 우상들로 더럽혔음이로다
It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [worshiping] their idols.
31 네가 네 형의 길로 행하였은즉 내가 그의 잔을 네 손에 주리라
You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
32 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 깊고 크고 가득히 담긴 네 형의 잔을 네가 마시고 비소와 조롱을 당하리라
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
33 네가 네 형 사마리아의 잔 곧 놀람과 패망의 잔에 넘치게 취하고 근심할지라
When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
34 네가 그 잔을 다 기울여 마시고 그 깨어진 조각을 씹으며 네 유방을 꼬집을 것은 내가 이렇게 말하였음이니라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라
You will drink all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
35 그러므로 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 네가 나를 잊었고 또 나를 네 등 뒤에 버렸은즉 너는 네 음란과 네 음행의 죄를 담당할지니라 하시니라
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
36 여호와께서 또 내게 이르시되 인자야 네가 오홀라와 오홀리바를 국문하려느냐 그러면 그 가증한 일을 그들에게 고하라
Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
37 그들이 행음하였으며 피를 손에 묻혔으며 또 그 우상과 행음하며 내게 낳아준 자식들을 우상을 위하여 화제로 살랐으며
[It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for their idols.
38 이외에도 그들이 내게 행한 것이 있나니 당일에 내 성소를 더럽히며 내 안식일을 범하였도다
They have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
39 그들이 자녀를 죽여 그 우상에게 드린 당일에 내 성소에 들어와서 더럽혔으되 그들이 내 성전 가운데서 그렇게 행하였으며
On the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
40 또 사자를 원방에 보내어 사람을 불러오게 하고 그들이 오매 그들을 위하여 목욕하며 눈썹을 그리며 스스로 단장하고
They sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
41 화려한 자리에 앉아 앞에 상을 베풀고 내 향과 기름을 그 위에 놓고
They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
42 그 무리와 편히 지껄이고 즐겼으며 또 광야에서 잡류와 술취한 사람을 청하여 오매 그들이 팔쇠를 그 손목에 끼우고 아름다운 면류관을 그 머리에 씌웠도다
Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 내가 음행으로 쇠한 여인을 가리켜 말하노라 그가 그래도 그들과 피차 행음하는도다
Then I said about the woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that she is.’
44 그들이 그에게 나아오기를 기생에게 나아옴 같이 음란한 여인 오홀라와 오홀리바에게 나아왔은즉
So they had sex [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
45 의인이 음부를 심문함 같이 심문하며 피를 흘린 여인을 심문함 같이 심문하리니 그들은 음부요 또 피가 그 손에 묻었음이니라
But righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
46 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 군대를 거느리고 와서 치게 하여 그들로 학대와 약탈을 당하게 하리니
So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to rob them.
47 그 군대가 그들을 돌로 치며 칼로 죽이고 그 자녀도 죽이며 그 집들을 불사르리라
The mob will throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their houses.
48 이와 같이 내가 이 땅에서 음란을 그치게 한즉 모든 여인이 경성하여 너희 음행을 본받지 아니하리라
In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
49 그들이 너희 음란으로 너희에게 보응한즉 너희가 모든 우상을 위하던 죄를 담당할지라 너희가 나를 주 여호와인 줄 알리라 하시니라
[people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
