사무엘상 6
1 여호와의 궤가 블레셋 사람의 지방에 있은지 일곱 달이라
The people of Philistia kept God’s sacred chest in their area for seven months.
2 블레셋 사람이 제사장들과 복술자들을 불러서 이르되 `우리가 여호와의 궤를 어떻게 할꼬 그것을 어떻게 본처로 보낼 것을 우리에게 가르치라'
Then they summoned their priests and their (diviners/men who practice rituals to find out what would happen in the future). They asked them, “What should we do with the sacred chest of Yahweh? Tell us how we should send it back to its own land.”
3 그들이 가로되 `이스라엘 신의 궤를 보내려거든 거저 보내지 말고 그에게 속건제를 드려야 할지니라 그리하면 병도 낫고 그 손을 너희에게서 옮기지 아니하는 연고도 알리라'
Those men replied, “Send with it an offering [to show Yahweh that you know that you are] guilty [for having captured the chest], in order that the plague will stop. If you do that, and then if you are healed, you will know that Yahweh is the one who caused you to experience the plague.”
4 그들이 가로되 `무엇으로 그에게 드릴 속건제를 삼을꼬' 가로되 `블레셋 사람의 방백의 수효대로 금독종 다섯과 금쥐 다섯이라야 하리니 너희와 너희 방백에게 내린 재앙이 일반임이니라
The people of Philistia asked, “What kind of offering should we send?” The men replied, “Make five gold models of the tumors on your skin, and five gold models of rats. Make five of each because that is the same number as the number of your kings, and because the plague has struck both you people and your five kings.
5 그러므로 너희는 너희 독종의 형상과 땅을 해롭게 하는 쥐의 형상을 만들어 이스라엘 신께 영화를 돌리라 그가 혹 그 손을 너희와 너희 신들과 너희 땅에서 경하게 하실까 하노라
Make models that represent the rats and the tumors that are ruining your land. Make them in order to honor the god of the Israeli people. If you do that, perhaps he will stop punishing [IDM] you, and your gods, and your land.
6 애굽인과 바로가 그 마음을 강퍅케 한 것같이 어찌하여 너희가 너희 마음을 강퍅케 하겠느냐? 그가 그들 중에서 기이하게 행한 후에 그들이 백성을 가게 하므로 백성이 떠나지 아니하였느냐?
Do not be [RHQ] stubborn [IDM] like the Egyptians and their king were. [They did not do what the Israelis’ god told them to do, so he punished them]. After the Israelis’ god finished punishing them very severely, they were glad to allow the Israelis to leave their country [RHQ].
7 그러므로 새 수레를 만들고 멍에 메어 보지 아니한 젖 나는 소 둘을 끌어다가 수레를 소에 메우고 그 송아지들은 떼어 집으로 돌려 보내고
“So you must build a new cart. Then get two cows that have very recently given birth to calves. They must be cows that have never been hitched to a cart [MTY]. Hitch those cows to the new cart, and take the calves away from their mothers.
8 여호와의 궤를 가져다가 수레에 싣고 속건제 드릴 금 보물은 상자에 담아 궤 곁에 두고 그것을 보내어 가게 하고
Put the Israelis’ god’s sacred chest on the cart. Also put in the cart the five gold models of the tumors on your skin and the five gold models of rats. Put them in a small box alongside the sacred chest. They will be an offering to show that you know that you deserved to be punished [for capturing the sacred chest]. Then send [the cows] down the road, [pulling] the cart.
9 보아서 궤가 그 본 지경 길로 올라가서 벧세메스로 가면 이 큰 재앙은 그가 우리에게 내린 것이요 그렇지 아니하면 우리를 친 것이 그 손이 아니요 우연히 만난 것인 줄 알리라'
[Watch the cart as the cows pull it]. If they pull it to Beth-Shemesh [town] in Israel, we will know that it was the Israelis’ god who caused us to experience this plague. But if they do not take it there, we will know that it was not the god [MTY] of the Israelis who has punished us. We will know that it just happened.”
10 그 사람들이 그같이 하여 젖나는 소 둘을 끌어다가 수레를 메우고 송아지들은 집에 가두고
So the people did what the priests and men who predicted what would happen in the future told them to do. They [made] a cart [and] hitched two cows to it. They took the calves from their mothers.
11 여호와의 궤와 및 금쥐와 그들의 독종의 형상을 담은 상자를 수레 위에 실으니
They put in the cart Yahweh’s sacred chest and the box with the models of the gold rats and the tumors.
12 암소가 벧세메스 길로 바로 행하여 대로로 가며 갈 때에 울고 좌우로 치우치지 아니하였고 블레셋 방백들은 벧세메스 경계까지 따라 가니라
Then the cows started walking, and they went straight toward Beth-Shemesh. They stayed on the road, and were mooing all the time. They did not turn to the left or to the right. The five kings of the Philistia area followed the cows until they reached the edge of Beth-Shemesh.
13 벧세메스 사람들이 골짜기에서 밀을 베다가 눈을 들어 궤를 보고 그것의 보임을 기뻐하더니
At that time, the people of Beth-Shemesh were harvesting wheat in the valley [outside the city]. [When the cows came along the road], they looked up and saw the sacred chest. They were extremely happy to see it.
14 수레가 벧세메스 사람 여호수아의 밭 큰 돌 있는 곳에 이르러 선지라 무리가 수레의 나무를 패고 그 소를 번제로 여호와께 드리고
The cows pulled the cart into the field of a man named Joshua, and they stopped alongside a large rock. Several men from the tribe of Levi lifted from the cart the sacred chest and the box containing the gold models of the rats and the tumors, and they put them all on the large rock. Then the people smashed the cart and kindled a fire with the wood [from which the cart had been made]. They slaughtered the cows and burned their bodies/carcasses on the fire to be an offering for Yahweh that would be completely burned. That day the people of Beth-Shemesh offered to Yahweh [many] sacrifices that were completely burned, and [other] sacrifices.
15 레위인은 여호와의 궤와 그 궤와 함께 있는 금 보물 담긴 상자를 내려다가 큰 돌 위에 두매 그 날에 벧세메스 사람들이 여호와께 번제와 다른 제를 드리니라
16 블레셋 다섯 방백이 이것을 보고 그날에 에그론으로 돌아갔더라
The five kings from the Philistia area watched all this, and then they returned to Ekron, that same day.
17 블레셋 사람이 여호와께 속건제로 드린 금독종은 이러하니 아스돗을 위하여 하나요, 가사를 위하여 하나요, 아스글론을 위하여 하나요, 가드를 위하여 하나요, 에그론을 위하여 하나이며,
The five gold models of tumors that they sent to be an offering to Yahweh to show that they knew that they deserved to be punished were gifts from [those five kings who were rulers of] Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron [cities].
18 드린 바 금쥐는 여호와의 궤를 놓은 큰돌에 이르기까지의 모든 견고한 성읍과 시골 동리 곧 다섯 방백에게 속한 사람의 모든 성읍의 수효대로였더라 그 돌은 벧세메스 사람 여호수아의 밭에 오늘까지 있더라
The models of the five gold rats were gifts from the people of those five cities and the surrounding towns. The large rock at Beth-Shemesh, on which the [men of the tribe of Levi] set the sacred chest, is still there in the field that belonged to Joshua. When people see it, they remember [what happened there].
19 벧세메스 사람들이 여호와의 궤를 들여다 본 고로 그들을 치사 오만 칠십인을 죽이신지라 여호와께서 백성을 쳐서 크게 살륙하셨으므로 백성이 애곡하였더라
But seventy men from Beth-Shemesh looked into Yahweh’s sacred chest, and because of that, Yahweh caused them to die. Then the people mourned very much because Yahweh punished [IDM] those men like that.
20 벧세메스 사람들이 가로되 `이 거룩하신 하나님 여호와 앞에 누가 능히 서리요 그를 우리에게서 뉘게로 가시게 할꼬` 하고
They said, “No one [RHQ] can (resist the power of/stand in the presence of) Yahweh, our holy God, [and remain alive]! Where can we send the sacred chest?”
21 사자들을 기랏여아림 거민에게 보내어 가로되 `블레셋 사람이 여호와의 궤를 도로 가져왔으니 너희는 내려와서 그것을 너희에게로 옮겨 가라'
They sent messengers to the people of Kiriath-Jearim [city] to tell them, “The people of Philistia have returned Yahweh’s sacred chest to us! Come here and take it away!”
