< 에스겔 21 >
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 인자야 너는 얼굴을 예루살렘으로 향하며 성소를 향하여 소리내어 이스라엘 땅을 쳐서 예언하라
“You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.
3 이스라엘 땅에게 이르기를 여호와의 말씀에 내가 너를 대적하여 내 칼을 집에서 빼어 의인과 악인을 네게서 끊을지라
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.
4 내가 의인과 악인을 네게서 끊을터이므로 내 칼을 집에서 빼어 무릇 혈기 있는 자를 남에서 북까지 치리니
[what I will do to you will be as though] [MET] I will pull my sword from its sheath [and strike you]. I will kill everyone, including righteous people and wicked people [DOU]. I will get rid of everyone, from the south to the north.
5 무릇 혈기 있는 자는 나 여호와가 내 칼을 집에서 빼어낸 줄을 알지라 칼이 다시 꽂혀지지 아니하리라 하셨다 하라
Then everyone will know [it is as though] I, Yahweh, have struck people with my sword, and I will not put it back in its sheath again.’
6 인자야 너는 탄식하되 허리가 끊어지는듯이 그들의 목전에서 슬피 탄식하라
Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].
7 그들이 네게 묻기를 네가 어찌하여 탄식하느냐 하거든 대답하기를 소문을 인함이라 재앙이 오나니 각 마음이 녹으며 모든 손이 약하여지며 각 영이 쇠하며 모든 무릎이 물과 같이 약하리라 보라 재앙이 오나니 정녕 이루리라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라 하라
And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful [IDM], and their knees will become as weak as [SIM] water. [A great disaster] will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’”
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
9 인자야 너는 예언하여 이르기를 여호와의 말씀에 칼이여 칼이여 날카롭고도 마광되었도다
“You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.
10 그 칼이 날카로움은 살륙을 위함이요 마광됨은 번개 같이 되기 위함이니 우리가 즐거워하겠느냐 내 아들의 홀이 모든 나무를 업신여기는도다
It is sharpened in order that I can [many people with it]; it is polished so that it will flash like lightning. The people of Judah will not [their being punished like this], but they did not repent [I only struck them] with a stick.
11 그 칼이 손에 잡아 쓸만하도록 마광되되 살륙하는 자의 손에 붙이기 위하여 날카롭고도 마광되었도다 하셨다 하라
A sword should be polished, and be grasped [in someone’s hand]. It should be sharpened and polished, ready for someone to use it to kill people.
12 인자야 너는 부르짖어 슬피 울지어다 이것이 내 백성에게 임하며 이스라엘 모든 방백에게 임함이로다 그들과 내 백성이 함께 칼에 붙인바 되었으니 너는 네 넓적다리를 칠지어다
[So, ] you human, cry and wail, because I will use my sword to kill my people, including the leaders of Israel. They and all the other people, my people, will be killed by swords, so beat your [to show that you are sad].
13 이것이 시험이라 만일 업신여기는 홀이 없어지면 어찌할꼬 나 주 여호와의 말이니라
I am about to test my people, and the kings [MTY] of Judah will not escape being punished. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
14 그러므로 인자야 너는 예언하며 손뼉을 쳐서 칼로 세 번 거듭 씌우게 하라 이 칼은 중상케 하는 칼이라 밀실에 들어가서 대인을 중상케 하는 칼이로다
So, you human, prophesy; clap your [to show that you are very happy about what is going to happen]. My sword will strike them again and again; it is a sword for slaughtering many people, while I attack them from every side.
15 내가 그들로 낙담하여 많이 엎드러지게 하려고 그 모든 성문을 향하여 번쩍번쩍하는 칼을 베풀었도다 오호라 그 칼이 번개 같고 살륙을 위하여 날카로왔도다
In order that people will be very much afraid [IDM] and many people will be killed, I have [soldiers holding] my swords at every [city] gate, ready to slaughter people. Those swords will flash like lightning, as the [soldiers] grasp them to slaughter people.
16 칼아 모이라 우향하라 항오를 차리라 좌향하라 향한 대로 가라
Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.
17 나도 내 손뼉을 치며 내 분을 다 하리로다 나 여호와의 말이니라
Then I will clap my [triumphantly]; and [then] I will no longer be angry. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
19 인자야 너는 바벨론 왕의 칼이 올 두 길을 한 땅에서 나오도록 그리되 곧 성으로 들어가는 길 머리에다가 길이 나뉘는 지시표를 하여
“You human, [a map], and on it mark two roads for the King of Babylonia to march [along with his army, carrying] their swords. When they depart from their country, they will come to a sign post where the road divides.
20 칼이 암몬 족속의 랍바에 이르는 길과 유다 견고한 성 예루살렘에 이르는 길을 그리라
[If they continue on the one road, ] they will attack [city], the capital of the Ammon people-group. [If they continue on the other road, ] they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem, [a city] with walls around it.
21 바벨론 왕이 갈랫길 곧 두 길 머리에 서서 점을 치되 살들을 흔들어 우상에게 묻고 희생의 간을 살펴서
[When the army of] Babylonia comes to where the road divides, [they will stop], and the king will perform magic rituals [to decide which road to go on]. He will throw arrows; [then] consult his [about which road to go on], and he will (examine/look at) the [of a sheep].
22 오른손에 예루살렘으로 갈 점괘를 얻었으므로 공성퇴를 베풀며 입을 벌리고 살륙하며 소리를 높여 외치며 성문을 향하여 공성퇴를 베풀고 토성을 쌓고 운제를 세우게 되었나니
With his right hand he will pick up the arrow marked ‘Jerusalem’. He will [command his soldiers to go to Jerusalem. When they arrive there, they] will set up (rams/devices to [down the walls], ) and [then] the king will give the command for them to slaughter [the people]. They will shout [a battle-cry], and they will set up the rams against the [city] gates. They will build a dirt ramp [against the walls around the city], and set up things to bash those walls.
23 전에 그들에게 맹약한 자들은 그것을 헛점으로 여길 것이나 바벨론 왕은 그 죄악을 기억하고 그 무리를 잡으리라
The [in Jerusalem] who had promised [to be loyal to the King of Babylonia will think that those rituals must be wrong. They will think that his army should not be attacking them]. But he will remind them of the sins [MTY] that they had committed, [his army] will capture them.
24 그러므로 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 너희의 악이 기억을 일으키며 너희의 건과가 드러나며 너희 모든 행위의 죄가 나타났도다 너희가 기억한바 되었은즉 그 손에 잡히리라
Therefore, [tell the Israeli people that] this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘You people have allowed everyone to see that you are openly [against the King of Babylonia], and by doing that you have shown that everything that you do is sinful. Therefore you will be captured and [to Babylonia].’
25 너 극악하여 중상을 당할 이스라엘 왕아 네 날이 이르렀나니 곧 죄악의 끝 때니라
Also, say, ‘You very wicked [DOU] king of Israel, it is your [to die]. It is the time for you to be punished.’
26 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 관을 제하며 면류관을 벗길지라 그대로 두지 못하리니 낮은 자를 높이고 높은 자를 낮출 것이니라
And this is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you soldiers from Babylonia]: ‘Take off [the king’s] turban and his crown, because now things will be different than they were [before]. [in Jerusalem] who had no authority will now be given authority, and those who had authority will have their authority taken from them.
27 내가 엎드러뜨리고 엎드러뜨리고 엎드러뜨리려니와 이것도 다시 있지 못하리라 마땅히 얻을 자가 이르면 그에게 주리라
[Jerusalem] will be completely ruined. I will cause it to be ruined, and it will not be rebuilt/restored until the king to whom the city truly belongs comes; I will give it to [to rule it].’”
28 인자야 주 여호와께서 암몬 족속과 그 능욕에 대하여 말씀하셨다고 너는 예언하라 너는 이르기를 칼이 뽑히도다 칼이 뽑히도다 살륙하며 멸절하며 번개 같이 되기 위하여 마광되었도다
“And, you human, prophesy and say [this]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about the Ammon people-group, and about what they have said to insult [Israel]: [“The King of Babylon says, ] ‘[My soldiers have] swords’ [APO]; they have pulled out those swords to slaughter many people. They have polished them in order to kill people, and to make those swords flash like lightning.
29 네게 대하여 허무한 것을 보며 네게 대하여 거짓 복술을 하는 자가 너를 중상을 당한 악인의 목 위에 두리니 이는 그의 날 곧 죄악의 끝 때가 이름이로다
[Your prophets] have given you false visions about [what will happen to] you, and they have given you messages that are not true. So swords will strike the necks of those wicked people; it is time for them to be killed; it is the day when they will be [for their sins].
30 그러나 칼을 그 집에 꽂을지어다 네가 지음을 받은 곳에서 너의 생장한 땅에서 내가 너를 국문하리로다
You must put your swords back in their sheaths [because the days for you to slaughter your enemies are ended]. I will judge those people in the country where they were born.
31 내가 내 분노를 네게 쏟으며 내 진노의 불을 네게 불고 너를 짐승 같은 자 곧 멸하기에 익숙한 자의 손에 붙이리로다
I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on them. Because I am very angry with them, my breath on them will scorch them [like] fire [MET]. I will allow brutal men to capture them, men who are experts in killing people.
32 네가 불에 섶과 같이 될 것이며 네 피가 나라 가운데 있을 것이며 네가 다시 기억되지 못할 것이니 나 여호와가 말하였음이니라 하라
You will be [like] fuel [MET] [that is burned] in a fire. Your blood will be shed in your own land. No one will remember you any more. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.” '”
