The Confessions of St. Augustine — Page 1

English → Korean BOOK I Level 9/10

Great art Thou, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is Thy power, and Thy wisdom infinite.

주여, 당신은 위대하시고 크게 찬양받으실 분이시며, 당신의 권능은 위대하고 당신의 지혜는 무한하나이다.

And Thee would man praise; man, but a particle of Thy creation; man, that bears about him his mortality, the witness of his sin, the witness that Thou resistest the proud: yet would man praise Thee; he, but a particle of Thy creation.

그러함에도 인간은 당신을 찬양하려 하나이다. 인간은 당신의 피조물 중 한 작은 입자에 불과하며, 자신의 죽음을 지니고 다니는 존재요, 자신의 죄의 증거를 지닌 존재이며, 당신이 교만한 자를 물리치신다는 증거이거늘, 그럼에도 인간은 당신을 찬양하려 하나이다. 그는 당신의 피조물 중 한 작은 입자에 불과하면서도.

Thou awakest us to delight in Thy praise; for Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless, until it repose in Thee.

당신은 우리로 하여금 당신을 찬양하는 기쁨 속에 깨어나게 하시나이다. 당신이 우리를 당신 자신을 위해 지으셨으므로, 우리의 마음은 당신 안에서 안식을 얻기까지 쉼이 없나이다.

Grant me, Lord, to know and understand which is first, to call on Thee or to praise Thee? and, again, to know Thee or to call on Thee?

주여, 제가 알고 깨달을 수 있게 하소서. 무엇이 먼저인지를, 당신을 부르는 것인지 아니면 당신을 찬양하는 것인지를. 또한, 당신을 아는 것이 먼저인지 아니면 당신을 부르는 것이 먼저인지를.

for who can call on Thee, not knowing Thee? for he that knoweth Thee not, may call on Thee as other than Thou art.

당신을 알지 못하면서 어찌 당신을 부를 수 있겠나이까? 당신을 알지 못하는 자는 당신이 아닌 다른 존재를 당신이라 부를 수도 있나이다.

Or, is it rather, that we call on Thee that we may know Thee? but how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? or how shall they believe without a preacher?

아니면, 오히려 우리가 당신을 알기 위하여 당신을 부르는 것이겠나이까? 그러나 믿지 아니하는 이가 어찌 그분을 부를 수 있겠나이까? 또한 전파하는 자 없이 어찌 믿을 수 있겠나이까?

and they that seek the Lord shall praise Him: for they that seek shall find Him, and they that find shall praise Him.

주를 찾는 자들은 그분을 찬양할 것이나이다. 찾는 자는 그분을 찾을 것이요, 찾은 자는 그분을 찬양할 것이나이다.

I will seek Thee, Lord, by calling on Thee; and will call on Thee, believing in Thee; for to us hast Thou been preached.

주여, 저는 당신을 부름으로써 당신을 찾겠나이다. 또한 당신을 믿으면서 당신을 부르겠나이다. 당신이 우리에게 전파되었기 때문이나이다.

My faith, Lord, shall call on Thee, which Thou hast given me, wherewith Thou hast inspired me, through the Incarnation of Thy Son, through the ministry of the Preacher.

주여, 저의 믿음이 당신을 부를 것이나이다. 그 믿음은 당신이 제게 주신 것이요, 당신의 아들의 성육신을 통하여, 전파자의 사역을 통하여 당신이 제 안에 불어넣어 주신 것이나이다.
