English → Korean BOOK II. THE GATHERING OF THE CHIEFS Level 7/10

Up across windy wastes and up

바람 부는 황야를 가로질러 위로 또 위로

Went Alfred over the shaws,

앨프레드는 덤불 숲을 넘어 나아갔고,

Shaken of the joy of giants,

거인들의 기쁨에 몸을 떨며,

The joy without a cause.

아무런 까닭 없는 그 기쁨에.

In the slopes away to the western bays,

서쪽 만을 향해 뻗어 있는 비탈 위에서,

Where blows not ever a tree,

나무 한 그루 바람에 흔들리지 않는 곳,

He washed his soul in the west wind

그는 서풍으로 영혼을 씻었고

And his body in the sea.

바다로 육신을 씻었다.

And he set to rhyme his ale-measures,

그는 맥주 노래를 운율에 맞춰 짓고,

And he sang aloud his laws,

자신의 법도를 소리 높여 노래했다,

Because of the joy of the giants,

거인들의 기쁨 때문에,

The joy without a cause.

아무런 까닭 없는 그 기쁨 때문에.

The King went gathering Wessex men,

왕은 웨섹스의 사람들을 모으러 나섰다,

As grain out of the chaff

겨 속에서 낟알을 추리듯

The few that were alive to die,

죽음을 향해 살아 있는 소수를,

Laughing, as littered skulls that lie

흩어진 해골들이 누워 웃듯이,

After lost battles turn to the sky

패전 후 하늘을 향해 돌아누운 채

An everlasting laugh.

영원한 웃음을 웃는 것처럼.

The King went gathering Christian men,

왕은 그리스도교 사람들을 모으러 나섰다,

As wheat out of the husk;

껍질 속에서 밀알을 추리듯;

Eldred, the Franklin by the sea,

바닷가의 자유민 엘드레드,

And Mark, the man from Italy,

이탈리아에서 온 사내 마크,

And Colan of the Sacred Tree,

성스러운 나무의 콜란,

From the old tribe on Usk.

어스크 강의 오래된 부족에서 온.

The rook croaked homeward heavily,

떼까마귀가 무겁게 울며 집으로 날아가고,

The west was clear and warm,

서쪽 하늘은 맑고 따뜻하였으며,

The smoke of evening food and ease

저녁 음식과 안락함의 연기가

Rose like a blue tree in the trees

나무들 사이에서 푸른 나무처럼 피어올랐다

When he came to Eldred's farm.

그가 엘드레드의 농장에 이르렀을 때.

But Eldred's farm was fallen awry,

그러나 엘드레드의 농장은 기울어 무너져 있었고,

Like an old cripple's bones,

늙은 불구자의 뼈처럼,

And Eldred's tools were red with rust,

엘드레드의 연장들은 녹으로 붉게 물들었고,

And on his well was a green crust,

우물 위에는 초록 이끼가 끼어 있었으며,

And purple thistles upward thrust,

자줏빛 엉겅퀴가 위로 솟아올라,

Between the kitchen stones.

부엌 돌들 사이를 비집고 나 있었다.

But smoke of some good feasting

그러나 푸짐한 잔치의 연기는

Went upwards evermore,

끊임없이 위로 피어올랐고,

And Eldred's doors stood wide apart

엘드레드의 문은 활짝 열려 있었으니

For loitering foot or labouring cart,

배회하는 발길이든 짐 실은 수레든,

And Eldred's great and foolish heart

엘드레드의 크고 어리석은 마음은

Stood open like his door.

그의 문처럼 활짝 열려 있었다.
