욥기 17
1 나의 기운이 쇠하였으며 나의 날이 다하였고 무덤이 나를 위하여 예비되었구나
“My (life/time to live) is almost ended; I have no strength left; my grave is waiting for me.
2 나를 조롱하는 자들이 오히려 나와 함께 있으므로 내 눈이 그들의 격동함을 항상 보는구나
Those who are around me are making fun of me; I [SYN] watch them while they (taunt/make fun of) me.”
3 청컨대 보증물을 주시고 친히 나의 보주가 되옵소서 주 외에 나로 더불어 손을 칠 자가 누구리이까
“God, [it is as though I am in prison; ] please pay the money in order that I may be released, because there is certainly no one else who will help me.
4 주께서 그들의 마음을 가리워 깨닫지 못하게 하셨사오니 그들을 높이지 아니 하시리이다
You have prevented my friends from understanding [what is true about me]; do not allow them to triumph over me, [saying that I have done things that are wrong].
5 친구를 지적하여 해를 받게 한 자의 자식들은 눈이 멀지니라
[Our ancestors often said, ‘It often happens that] when someone betrays his friends in order to get some of their property, it is that person’s children who will be punished for it;’ [so I desire/hope that will be true of these friends of mine who are lying about me].
6 하나님이 나로 백성의 이야기거리가 되게 하시니 그들이 내 얼굴에 침을 뱉는구나
“But now people use that saying of our ancestors when they talk about me; they spit in my face [to insult me].
7 내 눈은 근심으로 하여 어두워지고 나의 온 지체는 그림자 같구나
(My sight has become dim/I cannot see well) because I am extremely sad, and my arms and legs are [very thin, with the result that they almost do not cast] [MET] a shadow.
8 정직자는 이를 인하여 놀라고 무죄자는 사곡한 자를 인하여 분을 내나니
Those who [say that they] are good/righteous are shocked [when they see what has happened to me], and people who [say that they] (are innocent/have not done anything that is wrong) say that I am wicked/godless and should be punished.
9 그러므로 의인은 그 길을 독실히 행하고 손이 깨끗한 자는 점점 힘을 얻느니라
Those who [claim that they] are righteous will continue to do what [they think] is right, and those [who say] they have not sinned will continue to become stronger.
10 너희는 다 다시 올지니라 내가 너희 중에서 지혜자를 찾을 수 없느니라
“But even if all of those people came [and stood in front of me], I would not find anyone among them who is wise.
11 나의 날이 지나갔고 내 경영 내 마음의 사모하는 바가 다 끊어졌구나
My (life/time to live) is almost ended; I have not been able to do the things that I confidently expected to do; [I have not been able to accomplish] anything that I [SYN] desired.
12 그들은 밤으로 낮을 삼고 빛이 어두운데 가깝다 하는구나
My friends do not know when it is night and when it is day; when it is night, they claim that it is daylight; when it is becoming dark, they claim it is becoming light.
If my home will be the place where dead people are, where will I sleep in the darkness? (Sheol h7585)
14 무덤더러 너는 내 아비라 구더기더러 너는 내 어미, 내 자매라 할진대
I may say to the grave, ‘You will be [like] a father to me,’ and say to the maggots [that will eat my body], ‘You will be [like] a mother or younger sisters to me [because you will be where I will always be].’
15 나의 소망이 어디 있으며 나의 소망을 누가 보겠느냐
But if I say those things, (will there be anything good that I can confidently expect to happen to me?/there will be nothing good that I can confidently expect to happen to me.) [RHQ] (Is there anyone who knows anything good that I can expect when I am in the grave?/No one knows anything good that I can expect when I am in the grave.) [RHQ]
After I descend to the place where the dead are, (will I be able to confidently expect anything good there?/I certainly will not be able to confidently expect anything good there.) [RHQ] [It will be as though] [RHQ] I and the things I hope for will descend with me into the dust [where the dead are].” (Sheol h7585)
