On the Method of Zadig: Essay #1 from "Science and Hebrew Tradition" — Page 4
I have not seen anything of the horse, and I never heard of him before,' replied Zadig.
저는 그 말에 대해 아무것도 본 적이 없으며, 전에 그 말에 대해 들어본 적도 없습니다,' 라고 자딕이 대답했다.
"The grand huntsman and the chief eunuch made sure that Zadig had stolen both the King's horse and the Queen's spaniel, so they haled him before the High Court of Desterham, which at once condemned him to the knout, and transportation for life to Siberia.
"수석 사냥꾼과 수석 내시는 자딕이 왕의 말과 왕비의 스패니얼 개를 모두 훔쳤다고 확신하여, 그를 데스터함 고등법원에 끌고 갔으며, 법원은 즉시 그에게 태형과 시베리아 종신 유배를 선고했다.
But the sentence was hardly pronounced when the lost horse and spaniel were found.
그러나 판결이 내려지자마자 잃어버렸던 말과 스패니얼 개가 발견되었다.
So the judges were under the painful necessity of reconsidering their decision: but they fined Zadig four hundred ounces of gold for saying he had seen that which he had not seen.
그리하여 판사들은 고통스럽게도 판결을 재고해야 했지만, 보지 못한 것을 보았다고 말했다는 이유로 자딕에게 금 사백 온스의 벌금을 부과했다.
"The first thing was to pay the fine; afterwards Zadig was permitted to open his defence to the court, which he did in the following terms:
"먼저 벌금을 납부해야 했다. 그 후 자딕은 법원에서 자신을 변호할 기회를 얻었으며, 그는 다음과 같이 말했다.
"'Stars of justice, abysses of knowledge, mirrors of truth, whose gravity is as that of lead, whose inflexibility is as that of iron, who rival the diamond in clearness, and possess no little affinity with gold; since I am permitted to address your august assembly, I swear by Ormuzd that I have never seen the respectable lady dog of the Queen, nor beheld the sacrosanct horse of the King of Kings.
"'정의의 별들이여, 지식의 심연이여, 진리의 거울들이여, 납과 같은 무게감을 지니고, 철과 같은 불굴의 의지를 가지며, 투명함에서 다이아몬드와 겨루고, 금과 적지 않은 친화성을 지닌 분들이여. 이 고귀한 의회에서 발언할 기회를 얻었으니, 저는 오르무즈드에 맹세코 왕비의 존귀한 암캐를 본 적이 없으며, 왕 중의 왕의 신성한 말을 본 적도 없습니다.
"'This is what happened. I was taking a walk towards the little wood near which I subsequently had the honour to meet the venerable chief eunuch and the most illustrious grand huntsman.
"'이런 일이 있었습니다. 저는 작은 숲을 향해 산책을 하고 있었는데, 그 숲 근처에서 나중에 존경스러운 수석 내시와 가장 저명한 수석 사냥꾼을 만나는 영광을 얻었습니다.
