< 사무엘상 30 >

1 다윗과 그의 사람들이 제 삼일에 시글락에 이를 때에 아말렉 사람들이 이미 남방과 시글락을 침노하였는데 그들이 시글락을 쳐서 불사르고
And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire.
2 거기 있는 대소 여인들을 하나도 죽이지 아니하고 다 사로잡아 끌고 자기 길을 갔더라
And they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.
3 다윗과 그의 사람들이 성에 이르러 본즉 성이 불탔고 자기들의 아내와 자녀들이 사로 잡혔는지라
Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,
4 다윗과 그와 함께 한 백성이 울 기력이 없도록 소리를 높여 울었더라
David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.
5 (다윗의 두 아내 이스르엘 여인 아히노암과 갈멜 사람 나발의 아내 되었던 아비가일도 사로잡혔더라)
For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
6 백성이 각기 자녀들을 위하여 마음이 슬퍼서 다윗을 돌로 치자 하니 다윗이 크게 군급하였으나 그 하나님 여호와를 힘입고 용기를 얻었더라
And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord his God.
7 다윗이 아히멜렉의 아들 제사장 아비아달에게 이르되 `청컨대 에봇을 내게로 가져오라' 아비아달이 에봇을 다윗에게로 가져 오매
And he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 다윗이 여호와께 묻자와 가로되 `내가 이 군대를 쫓아 가면 미치겠나이까?' 여호와께서 대답하시되 쫓아가라 네가 반드시 미치고 정녕 도로 찾으리라
And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”
9 이에 다윗과 그와 함께 한 육백명이 가서 브솔 시내에 이르러는 뒤 떨어진 자를 거기 머물렀으되
Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.
10 곧 피곤하여 브솔 시내를 건너지 못하는 이백인을 머물렀고 다윗은 사백인을 거느리고 쫓아가니라
But David pursued, he and four hundred men. For two hundred stayed, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.
11 무리가 들에서 애굽 사람 하나를 만나 다윗에게로 데려다가 떡을 주어 먹게 하며 물을 마시우고
And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might drink,
12 무화과 뭉치에서 뗀 덩이 하나와 건포도 두 송이를 주었으니 그가 낮 사흘 밤, 사흘을 떡도 먹지 못하였고 물도 마시지 못하였음이라 그가 먹고 정신을 차리매
and also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for three days and three nights.
13 다윗이 그에게 이르되 `너는 뉘게 속하였으며 어디로서냐?' 가로되 `나는 애굽 소년이요 아말렉 사람의 종이더니 사흘 전에 병이 들매 주인이 나를 버렸나이다
And so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.
14 우리가 그렛 사람의 남방과 유다에 속한 지방과 갈멜 남방을 침노하고 시글락을 불살랐나이다'
For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
15 다윗이 그에게 이르되 `네가 나를 그 군대에게로 인도하겠느냐?' 그가 가로되 `당신이 나를 죽이지도 아니하고 내 주인의 수중에 붙이지도 아니하겠다고 하나님으로 맹세하소서 그리하면 내가 당신을 이 군대에게로 인도하리이다'
And David said to him, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.
16 그가 인도하여 내려가니 그들이 온 땅에 편만하여 블레셋 사람의 땅과 유다 땅에서 크게 탈취하였음을 인하여 먹고 마시며 춤추는지라
And when he had led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.
17 다윗이 새벽부터 이튿날 저물때까지 그들을 치매 약대 타고 도망한 소년 사백명 외에는 피한 사람이 없었더라
And David struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.
18 다윗이 아말렉 사람의 취하였던 모든 것을 도로 찾고 그 두 아내를 구원하였고
Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
19 그들의 탈취하였던 것 곧 무리의 자녀들이나 빼앗겼던 것의 대소를 물론하고 아무것도 잃은 것이 없이 다윗이 도로 찾아왔고
And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.
20 또 양떼와 소떼를 다 탈취하였더니 무리가 그 가축 앞에 몰고 가며 가로되 `이는 다윗의 탈취한 것이라' 하였더라
And he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”
21 다윗이 이왕에 피곤하여 능히 자기를 따르지 못하므로 브솔 시내에 머물게 한 이백인에게 오매 그들이 다윗과 그와 함께 한 백성을 영접하러 나온지라 다윗이 그 백성에게 이르러 문안하매
Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.
22 다윗과 함께 갔던 자 중에 악한 자와 비류들이 다 가로되 `그들이 우리와 함께 가지 아니하였은즉 우리가 도로 찾은 물건은 무엇이든지 그들에게 주지 말고 각 사람의 처자만 주어서 데리고 떠나 가게 하라' 하는지라
And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”
23 다윗이 가로되 `나의 형제들아! 여호와께서 우리를 보호하시고 우리를 치러 온 그 군대를 우리 손에 붙이셨은즉 그가 우리에게 주신 것을 너희가 이같이 못하리라
But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.
24 이 일에 누가 너희를 듣겠느냐? 전장에 내려갔던 자의 분깃이나 소유물 곁에 머물렀던 자의 분깃이 일반일지니 같이 분배할 것이니라' 하고
And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”
25 그 날부터 다윗이 이것으로 이스라엘의 율례와 규례를 삼았더니 오늘까지 이르니라
And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even to this day.
26 다윗이 시글락에 이르러 탈취물을 그 친구 유다 장로들에게 보내어 가로되 `보라, 여호와의 원수에게서 탈취한 것을 너희에게 선사하노라' 하고
Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”
27 벧엘에 있는 자와, 남방 라못에 있는 자와, 얏딜에 있는 자와,
to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,
28 아로엘에 있는 자와, 십못에 있는 자와, 에스드모아에 있는 자와,
and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,
29 라갈에 있는 자와, 여라므엘 사람의 성읍들에 있는 자와, 겐 사람의 성읍들에 있는 자와,
and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,
30 홀마에 있는 자와, 고라산에 있는 자와, 아닥에 있는 자와, 헤브론에 있는 자에게와, 다윗과 그의 사람들의 왕래하던 모든 곳에 보내었더라
and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,
and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
