Meditations — Page 14
There is the same ideal of self-control in both.
두 가지 모두에 동일한 자기 절제의 이상이 있다.
It should be a man's task, says the _Imitation_, 'to overcome himself, and every day to be stronger than himself.'
《모방》은 말하기를, '자기 자신을 극복하고, 매일 자기 자신보다 더 강해지는 것'이 사람의 과제여야 한다고 한다.
'In withstanding of the passions standeth very peace of heart.'
'정념을 억제하는 데에 진정한 마음의 평화가 있다.'
'Let us set the axe to the root, that we being purged of our passions may have a peaceable mind.'
'우리가 정념을 정화하여 평온한 마음을 가질 수 있도록, 뿌리에 도끼를 대자.'
To this end there must be continual self-examination.
이를 위해 끊임없는 자기 성찰이 있어야 한다.
'If thou may not continually gather thyself together, namely sometimes do it, at least once a day, the morning or the evening.
'만약 그대가 끊임없이 자신을 추스르지 못한다면, 즉 때때로라도 하라, 적어도 하루에 한 번, 아침이나 저녁에.
In the morning purpose, in the evening discuss the manner, what thou hast been this day, in word, work, and thought.'
아침에는 결심하고, 저녁에는 오늘 하루 말과 행동과 생각에서 그대가 어떠하였는지를 헤아려 보라.'
But while the Roman's temper is a modest self-reliance, the Christian aims at a more passive mood, humbleness and meekness, and reliance on the presence and personal friendship of God.
그러나 로마인의 기질이 소박한 자기 의존인 반면, 그리스도인은 더욱 수동적인 태도, 즉 겸손과 온유함, 그리고 하나님의 임재와 개인적인 우정에 대한 의존을 지향한다.
The Roman scrutinises his faults with severity, but without the self-contempt which makes the Christian 'vile in his own sight.'
로마인은 자신의 결점을 엄격하게 검토하지만, 그리스도인을 '자신의 눈에 비천하게' 만드는 자기 경멸은 없다.
The Christian, like the Roman, bids 'study to withdraw thine heart from the love of things visible'; but it is not the busy life of duty he has in mind so much as the contempt of all worldly things, and the 'cutting away of all lower delectations.'
그리스도인은 로마인처럼 '보이는 것들에 대한 사랑으로부터 그대의 마음을 거두도록 힘쓰라'고 권고한다. 그러나 그가 염두에 두는 것은 바쁜 의무의 삶이라기보다는 모든 세속적인 것들에 대한 경멸과 '모든 저급한 쾌락을 끊어버리는 것'이다.
Both rate men's praise or blame at their real worthlessness; 'Let not thy peace,' says the Christian, 'be in the mouths of men.'
두 사람 모두 사람들의 칭찬이나 비난을 그 실제적인 무가치함으로 평가한다. 그리스도인은 말한다, '그대의 평화가 사람들의 입에 있지 않게 하라.'
But it is to God's censure the Christian appeals, the Roman to his own soul.
그러나 그리스도인이 호소하는 것은 하나님의 심판이고, 로마인이 호소하는 것은 자신의 영혼이다.
