Plays of Sophocles: Oedipus the King; Oedipus at Colonus; Antigone — Page 5
Thus pondering one clue of hope I caught,
이렇게 숙고하던 중 나는 희망의 실마리 하나를 붙잡았노라,
And tracked it up; I have sent Menoeceus' son,
그리고 그것을 추적하였노라; 나는 메노이케우스의 아들을 보냈노라,
Creon, my consort's brother, to inquire
크레온, 나의 왕비의 오라비를, 물어보게 하려고
Of Pythian Phoebus at his Delphic shrine,
델피의 신전에 계신 피티아의 포이보스께,
How I might save the State by act or word.
내가 행동이나 말로써 어떻게 나라를 구할 수 있을지를.
And now I reckon up the tale of days
그리고 이제 나는 날들을 헤아려 보노라
Since he set forth, and marvel how he fares.
그가 떠난 이후로, 그가 어찌 지내는지 궁금하여.
'Tis strange, this endless tarrying, passing strange.
이상하도다, 이 끝없는 지체가, 참으로 이상하도다.
But when he comes, then I were base indeed,
그러나 그가 오면, 그때 내가 만약 비겁하다면,
If I perform not all the god declares.
신이 선언하신 것을 모두 이행하지 않는다면.
PRIEST.
사제.
Thy words are well timed; even as thou speakest
그대의 말씀은 때를 잘 맞추었나이다; 그대께서 말씀하시는 바로 지금
That shouting tells me Creon is at hand.
저 외치는 소리가 크레온이 가까이 왔음을 알리나이다.
OEDIPUS.
오이디푸스.
O King Apollo! may his joyous looks
오 아폴론 왕이시여! 그의 기쁜 표정이
Be presage of the joyous news he brings!
그가 가져오는 기쁜 소식의 전조가 되기를!
PRIEST.
사제.
As I surmise, 'tis welcome; else his head
내가 짐작하건대, 반가운 소식이오; 그렇지 않다면 그의 머리가
Had scarce been crowned with berry-laden bays.
열매 가득한 월계수로 관을 쓰지는 않았을 것이오.
OEDIPUS.
오이디푸스.
We soon shall know; he's now in earshot range.
우리는 곧 알게 되리라; 그는 이제 들릴 거리에 있노라.
[Enter CREON]
[크레온 등장]
My royal cousin, say, Menoeceus' child,
나의 왕족 사촌이여, 말하라, 메노이케우스의 자식이여,
What message hast thou brought us from the god?
그대는 신으로부터 우리에게 어떤 전갈을 가져왔는가?
CREON.
크레온.
Good news, for e'en intolerable ills,
좋은 소식이오, 참을 수 없는 고통조차도,
Finding right issue, tend to naught but good.
올바른 해결책을 찾으면, 오직 좋은 것으로 귀결되기 마련이오.
OEDIPUS.
오이디푸스.
How runs the oracle? thus far thy words
신탁은 어떠하오? 지금까지 그대의 말은
Give me no ground for confidence or fear.
나에게 확신이나 두려움의 근거를 주지 않는구려.
CREON.
크레온.
If thou wouldst hear my message publicly,
만약 그대께서 나의 전갈을 공개적으로 들으시려 한다면,
I'll tell thee straight, or with thee pass within.
곧바로 말씀드리리다, 아니면 그대와 함께 안으로 들어가겠소.
OEDIPUS.
오이디푸스.
Speak before all; the burden that I bear
모두 앞에서 말하라; 내가 짊어진 짐은
Is more for these my subjects than myself.
나 자신보다 이 백성들을 위한 것이 더 크노라.
CREON.
크레온.
Let me report then all the god declared.
그렇다면 신께서 선언하신 모든 것을 보고하겠소.
