Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 15
He watered it, and cherished it, and took care it should have the benefit of every sunbeam that found its way into the cellar, from the earliest morning ray to the evening sunset.
그는 꽃에 물을 주고, 소중히 여기며, 아침 첫 햇살부터 저녁 노을까지 지하실로 들어오는 모든 햇빛을 꽃이 받을 수 있도록 정성껏 돌보았습니다.
The flower entwined itself even in his dreams--for him it bloomed, for him spread its perfume.
꽃은 그의 꿈속에서도 피어올랐으며, 그를 위해 꽃을 피우고, 그를 위해 향기를 퍼뜨렸습니다.
And it gladdened his eyes, and to the flower he turned, even in death, when the Lord called him.
꽃은 그의 눈을 기쁘게 하였고, 주님께서 그를 부르시던 죽음의 순간에도 그는 그 꽃을 바라보았습니다.
He has been one year with God.
그는 하나님 곁에서 일 년을 보냈습니다.
During that time the flower has stood in the window, withered and forgotten, till at length cast out among the sweepings into the street, on the day of the lodgers' removal.
그동안 꽃은 창가에 시들고 잊힌 채로 서 있다가, 마침내 세입자들이 이사하는 날 쓸레기와 함께 거리로 버려졌습니다.
And this poor flower, withered and faded as it is, we have added to our nosegay, because it gave more real joy than the most beautiful flower in the garden of a queen."
그리고 이 가련한 꽃은, 이렇듯 시들고 빛바랬지만, 여왕의 정원에 있는 가장 아름다운 꽃보다 더 진실한 기쁨을 주었기에, 우리는 이 꽃을 우리의 꽃다발에 더했습니다."
"But how do you know all this?" asked the child whom the angel was carrying to heaven.
"하지만 이 모든 것을 어떻게 아세요?" 천사가 하늘로 데려가고 있던 아이가 물었습니다.
"I know it," said the angel, "because I myself was the poor sick boy who walked upon crutches, and I know my own flower well."
"저는 알고 있어요," 천사가 말했습니다, "왜냐하면 제가 바로 목발을 짚고 걸었던 그 가난하고 병든 소년이었거든요, 그리고 저는 제 꽃을 잘 알고 있습니다."
Then the child opened his eyes and looked into the glorious happy face of the angel, and at the same moment they found themselves in that heavenly home where all is happiness and joy.
그때 아이는 눈을 뜨고 천사의 영광스럽고 행복한 얼굴을 바라보았고, 바로 그 순간 그들은 모든 것이 행복과 기쁨으로 가득한 천상의 집에 있게 되었습니다.
And God pressed the dead child to His heart, and wings were given him so that he could fly with the angel, hand in hand.
그리고 하나님께서는 죽은 아이를 당신의 품에 안으셨고, 아이에게는 날개가 주어져 천사와 손에 손을 잡고 날 수 있게 되었습니다.
