욥기 31
1 내가 내 눈과 언약을 세웠나니 어찌 처녀에게 주목하랴
“I solemnly promised myself that I would not look at a young woman with a desire [to have sex with her].
2 그리하면 위에 계신 하나님의 내리시는 분깃이 무엇이겠으며 높은 곳에서 전능자의 주시는 산업이 무엇이겠느냐?
[If I did not do what I promised, ] what would God who is in heaven [MTY] do to me [RHQ]? Almighty [God] would certainly not [RHQ] give me any reward!
3 불의자에게는 환난이 아니겠느냐? 행악자에게는 재앙이 아니겠느냐?
[Previously I thought that] surely [RHQ] it was unrighteous people who would experience calamities, and that it was those who do what is wrong who would experience disasters.
4 그가 내 길을 감찰하지 아니하시느냐? 내 걸음을 다 세지 아니하시느냐?
God certainly sees [RHQ] everything that I do, [so why is he causing me to suffer?] [It is as though] he counts every step that I take.
5 언제 나의 행위가 허탄하였으며 내 발이 궤휼에 빨랐던가
[“I solemnly declare that] I have never acted wickedly and have never tried to deceive people.
6 그리하였으면 내가 공평한 저울에 달려서 하나님이 나의 정직함을 아시게 되기를 원하노라
I request only that God judge me fairly [MET], and if he does that, he will know that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong).
7 언제 내 걸음이 길에서 떠났던가, 내 마음이 내 눈을 따라갔던가, 내 손에 더러운 것이 묻었던가,
If [it were true that] I have stopped living righteously, or [that] I [SYN] have desired the things that I look at [MTY], or [that] I am guilty of any other sin,
8 그리하였으면 나의 심은 것을 타인이 먹으며 나의 소산이 뿌리까지 뽑히는 것이 마땅하니라
then I hope/wish that when I plant [seeds], someone else will [harvest the crops and] eat [them] and that others will uproot the [fruit trees] that I planted.
9 언제 내 마음이 여인에게 유혹되어 이웃의 문을 엿보아 기다렸던가
“If [it were true that] I [SYN] have been attracted by some other man’s wife, or [that] I have hidden myself and waited outside [the] door [to] her [house],
10 그리하였으면 내 처가 타인의 매를 돌리며 타인이 더불어 동침하는 것이 마땅하니라
I hope/desire that my wife will become the servant/slave of another man and have sex [EUP] with him.
11 이는 중죄라 재판장에게 벌받을 악이요
[For me to do] that would be a terrible sin, and the judges would decide that I should be punished.
12 멸망하도록 사르는 불이라 나의 모든 소산을 뿌리까지 없이할 것이니라
My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. (questioned)
13 남종이나 여종이 나로 더불어 쟁변할 때에 내가 언제 그의 사정을 멸시하였던가
“And, if [it were true that] I have ever refused to listen to one of my male or female servants when they complained to me about something,
14 그리하였으면 하나님이 일어나실 때에는 내가 어떻게 하겠느냐? 하나님이 국문하실 때에는 내가 무엇이라 대답하겠느냐?
God would arise [and declare that he would punish me]; and when he would do that, what would I do? If he would ask me [about what I have done], (what would I answer?/I would not be able to answer.) [RHQ]
15 나를 태 속에 만드신 자가 그도 만들지 아니하셨느냐? 우리를 뱃속에 지으신 자가 하나가 아니시냐?
God, who created me, certainly also created my servants [RHQ]; surely he is the one who formed them and me in our mothers’ wombs [RHQ]; [so we all should behave toward each other equally].
16 내가 언제 가난한 자의 소원을 막았던가 과부의 눈으로 실망케 하였던가
“I have guided orphans from the time that they were born; I have taken care of them since they were young. So, if [it were true that] I ate all my food myself and did not share some of it with orphans, or [that] I refused to give poor people the things that they wanted, or [that] I caused widows to live (in despair/without hope [that they would receive any help from anyone]),
17 나만 홀로 식물을 먹고 고아에게 먹이지 아니하였던가
18 실상은 내가 젊었을 때부터 고아를 기르기를 그의 아비처럼 하였으며 내가 모태에서 나온 후로 과부를 인도하였었노라
19 내가 언제 사람이 의복이 없이 죽게 된 것이나 빈궁한 자가 덮을 것이 없는 것을 보고도
or [that] I had seen people die [from cold] because they had no clothes, or [that] I had seen poor people who did not have clothes [to keep them warm],
20 나의 양털로 그 몸을 더웁게 입혀서 그로 나를 위하여 복을 빌게 하지 아니하였던가
and they were not able to become warm [from clothes made] from the wool of my sheep with the result that they thanked me for [giving them clothes, ]
21 나를 도와 주는 자가 성문에 있음을 보고 내가 손을 들어 고아를 쳤던가
or if [it were true that] I threatened to strike any orphan because I knew that the elders at the city gates would (decide in my favor);
22 그리하였으면 내 어깨가 어깨뼈에서 떨어지고 내 팔 뼈가 부러짐이 마땅하니라
[if those things were true about me], I hope/desire that my shoulder blade would be torn out and my arm be torn from my shoulder.
23 나는 하나님의 재앙을 심히 두려워하고 그 위엄을 인하여 아무 것도 할 수 없느니라
I always feared that God would cause me to experience a great disaster [if I did any of those evil things], and I would not have been able to endure the powerful [things that he would do to punish me].
24 내가 언제 금으로 내 소망을 삼고 정금더러 너는 내 의뢰하는 바라 하였던가
“If [it were true that] I trusted in my gold/money [DOU],
25 언제 재물의 풍부함과 손으로 얻은 것이 많음으로 기뻐하였던가
or that I rejoiced because I had acquired many things and had become very rich,
26 언제 태양의 빛남과 달의 명랑하게 운행되는 것을 보고
or that I looked at the sun when it was shining or looked at the beautiful moon
27 내 마음이 가만히 유혹되어 손에 입맞추었던가
and I [SYN] had been tempted [to worship them] by kissing my hand to revere them,
28 이 역시 재판장에게 벌 받을 죄악이니 내가 그리하였으면 위에 계신 하나님을 배반한 것이니라
those things also would be sins for which the judges would say that I must be punished, because I would have been rejecting God [by doing those things].
29 내가 언제 나를 미워하는 자의 멸망을 기뻐하였으며 그의 재앙 만남을 인하여 기운을 뽐내었던가
“[It is not true that] I [SYN] sinned by requesting God to curse people who hated me with the result that God would cause them to die. It is also not true that I was glad when they were ruined or that I rejoiced when they experienced disasters [DOU].
30 실상은 내가 그의 죽기를 구하는 말로 저주하여 내 입으로 범죄케 아니하였느니라
31 내 장막 사람의 말이 주인의 고기에 배부르지 않은 자가 어디 있느뇨 하지 아니하였었는가
[It is also not true that] I never welcomed travelers to stay in my tent or that I did not open my doors to them, but [forced them to] sleep in the streets. [All] the men who work for me certainly know that [RHQ]!
32 나그네로 거리에서 자게 하지 아니하고 내가 행인에게 내 문을 열어 주었었노라
33 내가 언제 큰 무리를 두려워하며 족속의 멸시를 무서워함으로 잠잠하고 문에 나가지 아니하여 타인처럼 내 죄악을 품에 숨겨 허물을 가리었었던가
Some people try to hide their sins, but I have never done that;
34 (33절과 같음)
and I never remained silent and refused to go outside of my home because I was very (afraid of/worried about) what people would say [about me], and that they would hate/scorn me.
35 누구든지 나의 변백을 들을지니라 나의 서명이 여기 있으니 전능자가 내게 대답하시기를 원하노라 내 대적의 기록한 소송장이 내게 있으면
“I wish/desire that there was someone who would hear what I am saying! I solemnly declare [that all that I have said is true]. I wish that those who oppose me would write down [on a scroll] the evil things that they say that I did.
36 내가 어깨에 메기도 하고 면류관처럼 머리에 쓰기도 하며
[If they did that, ] I would wear that scroll on my shoulder, or wear it on top of my head, [in order that everyone could see it].
37 내 걸음의 수효를 그에게 고하고 왕족처럼 그를 가까이 하였으리라
I would tell [God] everything that I have done, and I would approach him [confidently], like a ruler would.
38 언제 내 토지가 부르짖어 나를 책망하며 그 이랑이 일시에 울었던가
If [it were true that] I have stolen land, with the result that [it was as though] its furrows cried out to accuse me of stealing;
39 언제 내가 값을 내지 않고 그 소산물을 먹고 그 소유주로 생명을 잃게 하였던가
or [if it were true that] I have eaten the crops that grew in someone else’s fields without paying [for those crops], with the result that those farmers who grew those crops died [from hunger];
40 그리하였으면 말 대신에 찔레가 나고 보리 대신에 잡풀이 나는 것이 마땅하니라 하고 욥의 말이 그치니라
then I wish/desire that thorns would grow [in my fields] instead of wheat. May bad weeds grow instead of barley!” That is the end of what Job said [to his three friends].
