창세기 42
1 때에 야곱이 애굽에 곡식이 있음을 보고 아들들에게 이르되 너희는 어찌하여 서로 관망 만하느냐
When someone told Jacob that there was grain in Egypt that people could buy, he said to his sons, “(Why do you just sit there looking at each other?/Do not just sit there looking at each other!) [RHQ] We need some grain!”
2 야곱이 또 이르되 내가 들은즉 저 애굽에 곡식이 있다 하니 너희는 그리로 가서 거기서 우리를 위하여 사오라 그리하면 우리가 살고 죽지 아니하리라 하매
He said to them, “Someone told me that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, in order that we will not die!”
3 요셉의 형 십 인이 애굽에서 곡식을 사려고 내려 갔으나
So Joseph’s ten [older] brothers went down to Egypt to buy some grain.
4 야곱이 요셉의 아우 베냐민을 그 형들과 함께 보내지 아니하였으니 이는 그의 말이 재난이 그에게 미칠까 두렵다 함이었더라
But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s [younger] brother, to go with the others, because he was afraid/worried that something terrible might happen to him like what happened to Joseph.
5 이스라엘의 아들들이 양식 사러간 자 중에 있으니 가나안 땅에 기근이 있음이라
So Jacob’s other sons went down from Canaan to Egypt to buy grain, and others from there went too, because there was a famine in Canaan also.
6 때에 요셉이 나라의 총리로서 그 땅 모든 백성에게 팔더니 요셉의 형들이 와서 그 앞에서 땅에 엎드려 절하매
At that time Joseph was the governor of Egypt. He was the one who sold grain to people who came from all over Egypt and from many other countries [HYP] to buy grain. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, [they were told that it was necessary for them to talk with Joseph. So they went to him and] prostrated themselves before him with their faces to the ground.
7 요셉이 보고 형들인줄 아나 모르는체 하고 엄한 소리로 그들에게 말하여 가로되 너희가 어디서 왔느냐 그들이 가로되 곡물을 사려고 가나안에서 왔나이다
As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them. But he pretended that he did not know them. He spoke harshly to them, saying, “Where do you come from?” One of them replied, “We have come from Canaan, to buy some grain.”
8 요셉은 그 형들을 아나 그들은 요셉을 알지 못하더라
Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
9 요셉이 그들에게 대하여 꾼 꿈을 생각하고 그들에게 이르되 너희는 정탐들이라 이 나라의 틈을 엿보려고 왔느니라
And then Joseph remembered what he had dreamed about them many years previously. [But he decided not to tell them yet that he was their younger brother]. He said to them, “You are spies! You have come to find out whether we will be able to defend ourselves [if you attack us]!”
10 그들이 그에게 이르되 내 주여 아니니이다 종들은 곡물을 사러 왔나이다
One of them replied, “No, sir! We have come to buy grain.
11 우리는 다 한 사람의 아들로서 독실한 자니 종들은 정탐이 아니니이다
We are all sons of one man. We are honest men, not spies.”
12 요셉이 그들에게 이르되 아니라 너희가 이 나라의 틈을 엿보러 왔느니라
He said to them, “[I do not believe you]. You have come just to see whether we would be able to defend ourselves if we were attacked!”
13 그들이 가로되 주의 종 우리들은 십이 형제로서 가나안 땅 한 사람의 아들들이라 말째 아들은 오늘 아버지와 함께 있고 또 하나는 없어졌나이다
But one of them replied, “No, that is not true! Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one man. Our younger brother is with our father. One [younger] brother has died. [EUP]”
14 요셉이 그들에게 이르되 내가 너희에게 이르기를 너희는 정탐들이라 한 말이 이것이니라
Joseph replied, “[You are lying! I think] it is just as I told you. You are spies!
15 너희는 이같이 하여 너희 진실함을 증명할 것이라 바로의 생명으로 맹세하노니 너희 말째 아우가 여기 오지 아니하면 너희가 여기서 나가지 못하리라
But this is how I will determine whether what you are saying is true. I think that as surely as the king lives, you are spies. And you will not leave this place until your youngest brother comes here!
16 너희 중 하나를 보내어 너희 아우를 데려오게 하고 너희는 갇히어 있으라 내가 너희의 말을 시험하여 너희 중에 진실이 있는지 보리라 바로의 생명으로 맹세하노니 그리하지 아니하면 너희는 과연 정탐이니라 하고
Send one of your group to go and get your younger brother and bring him here. I will put the rest of you in prison, in order that I may test what you have said to find out whether what you are telling me is true. If the one who goes does not bring your younger brother here, then, just as surely as the king lives, it will be clear that you are lying and that you are spies.”
17 그들을 다 함께 삼일을 가두었더라
Then Joseph put them all in prison for three days.
18 삼일만에 요셉이 그들에게 이르되 나는 하나님을 경외하노니 너희는 이같이 하여 생명을 보전하라
On the third day, Joseph went to the prison and said to them, “I am a man who fears that God [will punish me if I do not do what I promise]. So do what I tell you, and I will spare your lives.
19 너희가 독실한 자이면 너희 형제 중 한 사람만 그 옥에 갇히게 하고 너희는 곡식을 가지고 가서 너희 집들의 주림을 구하고
If you are honest men, let one of your brothers stay here in prison, and the rest of you can take some grain back to your families who are very hungry because of the famine.
20 너희 말째 아우를 내게로 데리고 오라 그리하면 너희 말이 진실함이 되고 너희가 죽지 아니하리라 그들이 그대로 하니라
But if you come back here again, you must bring your youngest brother to me, so that you can prove that what you told me is true, and as a result I will not have you executed.” So they agreed to do that.
21 그들이 서로 말하되 우리가 아우의 일로 인하여 범죄하였도다 그가 우리에게 애걸할 때에 그 마음의 괴로움을 보고도 듣지 아니하였으므로 이 괴로움이 우리에게 임하도다
They said to each other, “It is surely because of what we did to our [younger] brother that (we are being punished/God is punishing us)! We saw that he [SYN] was very distressed when he pleaded with us not to harm him. But we did not pay any attention to him, and that is why we are having this trouble!”
22 르우벤이 그들에게 대답하여 가로되 내가 너희더러 그 아이에게 득죄하지 말라고 하지 아니하였느냐 그래도 너희가 듣지 아니하였느니라 그러므로 그의 피 값을 내게 되었도다 하니
Reuben said to them, “I told you not to harm the boy [RHQ], but you did not pay attention to what I said! Now we are being (paid back/punished) for killing him [MTY]!”
23 피차간에 통변을 세웠으므로 그들은 요셉이 그 말을 알아 들은 줄을 알지 못하였더라
While they were talking with Joseph, they were speaking through (an interpreter/someone who knew their language and the Egyptian language), but when they said these things among themselves, they were speaking in their own language, and they did not know that Joseph could understand their language, and that he could understand what they were saying.
24 요셉이 그들을 떠나 가서 울고 다시 돌아와서 그들과 말하다가 그들 중에서 시므온을 취하여 그들의 목전에서 결박하고
[Because of what they said, Joseph realized that they admitted that what they had done to him many years previously was wrong]. He could not keep from crying, [and he did not want them to see him crying], so he left them and went outside the room and began to cry. But then he returned to them and talked to them again. Then he took Simeon, and while they were watching, he told his servants to tie him up. He left Simeon in the prison and told the others that they could go.
25 명하여 곡물을 그 그릇에 채우게 하고 각인의 돈은 그 자루에 도로 넣게 하고 또 길 양식을 그들에게 주게 하니 그대로 행하였더라
Joseph told his servants to fill the men’s sacks with grain, but he also told them to put the money that each one had paid for the grain in the top of his sack. He also told them to give them food to eat along the way. After the servants did those things for Joseph’s older brothers,
26 그들이 곡식을 나귀에 싣고 그 곳을 떠났더니
his older brothers loaded the sacks of grain on their donkeys and left.
27 한 사람이 객점에서 나귀에게 먹이를 주려고 자루를 풀고 본즉 그 돈이 자루 아구에 있는지라
At the place where they stopped to sleep that night, one of them opened his sack to get some grain for his donkey. He was amazed to see his money in the top of the sack.
28 그가 그 형제에게 고하되 내 돈을 도로 넣었도다 보라 자루 속에 있도다 이에 그들이 혼이 나서 떨며 서로 돌아보며 말하되 하나님이 어찌하여 우리에게 이 일을 행하셨는고 하고
He exclaimed to his brothers, “Someone has returned my money! Here it is in my sack!” They started shaking with fear, and said to each other, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 그들이 가나안 땅에 돌아와 그 아비 야곱에게 이르러 그 만난 일을 자세히 고하여 가로되
When they returned to their father in Canaan land, they told him all that had happened to them. One of them said,
30 그 땅의 주 그 사람이 엄히 우리에게 말씀하고 우리를 그 나라 정탐자로 여기기로
“The man who governs the whole land of Egypt talked very harshly to us. He acted toward us as though we were spying on his country.
31 우리가 그에게 이르되 우리는 독실한 자요 정탐이 아니니이다
But we told him, ‘We are honest men! We are not spies.
32 우리는 한 아비의 아들 십이 형제로서 하나는 없어지고 말째는 오늘 우리 아버지와 함께 가나안 땅에 있나이다 하였더니
Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one father. One has died [EUP], and our youngest brother is with our father in Canaan.’
33 그 땅의 주 그 사람이 우리에게 이르되 내가 이같이 하여 너희가 독실한 자임을 알리니 너희 형제 중 하나를 내게 두고 양식을 가지고 가서 너희 집들의 주림을 구하고
The man who is the governor of the land [did not believe us], so he said to us, ‘This is how I will know if you are truly honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me. Then the rest of you can take some grain for your families that are starving from hunger and go.
34 너희 말째 아우를 내게로 데려오라 그리하면 너희가 정탐이 아니요 독실한 자임을 내가 알고 너희 형제를 너희에게 돌리리니 너희가 이 나라에서 무역하리라 하더이다 하고
But when you return, bring your youngest brother to me, in order that I will know that you are not spies, but instead, that you are honest men. Then I will release your brother for you. And then you can buy whatever you want in this country.’”
35 각기 자루를 쏟고 본즉 각인의 돈뭉치가 그 자루 속에 있는지라 그들과 그 아비가 돈 뭉치를 보고 다 두려워하더니
As they were emptying their sacks, they were surprised that in each man’s sack was his pouch of money! When they and their father saw all the pouches of money, they were frightened.
36 그 아비 야곱이 그들에게 이르되 너희가 나로 나의 자식들을 잃게 하도다 요셉도 없어졌고 시므온도 없어졌거늘 베냐민을 또 빼앗아 가고자 하니 이는 다 나를 해롭게 함이로다
Their father Jacob said to them, “You have caused two of my children to be taken from me! Joseph is dead, and Simeon is gone! And now you want to take Benjamin from me! It is I who am suffering because of all these things that are happening!”
37 르우벤이 아비에게 고하여 가로되 내가 그를 아버지께로 데리고 오지 아니하거든 나의 두 아들을 죽이소서 그를 내 손에 맡기소서 내가 그를 아버지께로 데리고 돌아오리이다
Reuben said to his father, “I will be responsible for Benjamin. [I will take him to Egypt and] bring him back to you. Let me take care of him. If I do not bring Benjamin back to you, you may kill both of my sons.”
38 야곱이 가로되 내 아들은 너희와 함께 내려가지 못하리니 그의 형은 죽고 그만 남았음이라 만일 너희 행하는 길에서 재난이 그 몸에 미치면 너희가 나의 흰 머리로 슬피 음부로 내려가게 함이 되리라 (Sheol h7585)
But Jacob said, “No, I will not let my son go down there with you. His [older] brother is dead, and he is the only [one of my wife Rachel’s] sons who is left! If something harms him while you are traveling, you would cause me, a gray-haired old man, to die because of sorrow.” (Sheol h7585)
