The Confessions of St. Augustine — Page 4
Most highest, most good, most potent, most omnipotent; most merciful, yet most just; most hidden, yet most present; most beautiful, yet most strong, stable, yet incomprehensible; unchangeable, yet all-changing; never new, never old;
가장 높으시고, 가장 선하시고, 가장 능력 있으시고, 가장 전능하시며; 가장 자비로우시되 가장 공의로우시고; 가장 숨어 계시되 가장 가까이 계시고; 가장 아름다우시되 가장 강하시며, 안정되시되 헤아릴 수 없으시고; 변치 않으시되 모든 것을 변화시키시며; 결코 새롭지도, 결코 낡지도 않으시고;
all-renewing, and bringing age upon the proud, and they know it not; ever working, ever at rest; still gathering, yet nothing lacking; supporting, filling, and overspreading; creating, nourishing, and maturing; seeking, yet having all things.
모든 것을 새롭게 하시고, 교만한 자들에게 노쇠함을 가져오시되 그들은 그것을 알지 못하며; 항상 일하시되 항상 쉬시고; 여전히 모으시되 아무것도 부족함이 없으시며; 붙드시고, 채우시고, 두루 덮으시며; 창조하시고, 기르시고, 성숙케 하시며; 구하시되 모든 것을 가지고 계시도다.
Thou lovest, without passion; art jealous, without anxiety; repentest, yet grievest not; art angry, yet serene; changest Thy works, Thy purpose unchanged; receivest again what Thou findest, yet didst never lose; never in need, yet rejoicing in gains; never covetous, yet exacting usury.
열정 없이 사랑하시고; 불안 없이 질투하시며; 뉘우치시되 슬퍼하지 않으시고; 진노하시되 평온하시며; 당신의 사역을 바꾸시되 당신의 뜻은 변치 않으시고; 찾으신 것을 다시 받으시되 잃으신 적이 없으시며; 결핍이 없으시되 얻음을 기뻐하시고; 탐하지 않으시되 이자를 요구하시도다.
Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and who hath aught that is not Thine?
당신은 빚을 지시고자 넘치도록 받으시나니; 당신의 것이 아닌 무엇을 가진 자가 누구이겠나이까?
Thou payest debts, owing nothing; remittest debts, losing nothing.
아무것도 빚지지 않으시되 빚을 갚으시고; 아무것도 잃지 않으시되 빚을 탕감하시도다.
And what had I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy? or what saith any man when he speaks of Thee?
나의 하나님, 나의 생명, 나의 거룩한 기쁨이시여, 내가 이제 무슨 말을 하였나이까? 당신에 대해 말할 때 어떤 사람이 무엇을 말할 수 있겠나이까?
Yet woe to him that speaketh not, since mute are even the most eloquent.
그러나 말하지 않는 자에게는 화가 있을지니, 가장 말 잘하는 자도 말문이 막히기 때문이로다.
Oh! that I might repose on Thee! Oh! that Thou wouldest enter into my heart, and inebriate it, that I may forget my ills, and embrace Thee, my sole good!
오! 내가 당신 안에서 쉴 수 있다면! 오! 당신이 내 마음속에 들어오셔서 취하게 하시어, 내가 나의 고통을 잊고 나의 유일한 선이신 당신을 품을 수 있다면!
What art Thou to me? In Thy pity, teach me to utter it.
당신은 나에게 무엇이시나이까? 당신의 긍휼히 여기심으로, 내가 그것을 말할 수 있도록 가르쳐 주소서.
Or what am I to Thee that Thou demandest my love, and, if I give it not, art wroth with me, and threatenest me with grievous woes?
혹은 당신이 나의 사랑을 요구하시고, 내가 드리지 않으면 나에게 진노하시며 나를 심한 재앙으로 위협하시니, 나는 당신에게 무엇이나이까?
