The Confessions of St. Augustine — Page 8

English → Korean BOOK I Level 9/10

But Thou, Lord, who for ever livest, and in whom nothing dies: for before the foundation of the worlds, and before all that can be called "before," Thou art, and art God and Lord of all which Thou hast created: in Thee abide, fixed for ever, the first causes of all things unabiding; and of all things changeable, the springs abide in Thee unchangeable: and in Thee live the eternal reasons of all things unreasoning and temporal.

그러나 주님, 영원히 살아 계시며 그 안에서 아무것도 죽지 않는 이여: 세상의 기초가 놓이기 전, 그리고 '이전'이라 불릴 수 있는 모든 것보다 앞서, 당신은 계시며, 당신이 창조하신 모든 것의 하나님이요 주님이시니: 당신 안에는 영원히 고정되어, 덧없는 모든 것의 최초 원인들이 머물고; 변하는 모든 것의 근원은 당신 안에 변함없이 머물며: 이치 없고 덧없는 모든 것의 영원한 이유들이 당신 안에 살아 있나이다.

Say, Lord, to me, Thy suppliant; say, all-pitying, to me, Thy pitiable one; say, did my infancy succeed another age of mine that died before it?

말씀하소서, 주님, 당신의 탄원자인 저에게; 말씀하소서, 모든 것을 긍휼히 여기시는 이여, 당신의 가련한 자인 저에게; 말씀하소서, 저의 유아기 이전에 죽은 또 다른 시기가 있었나이까?

was it that which I spent within my mother's womb? for of that I have heard somewhat, and have myself seen women with child?

그것이 어머니의 태 안에서 보낸 시간이었나이까? 그에 대해 저는 어느 정도 들었고, 또 임신한 여인들을 직접 보았나이다.

and what before that life again, O God my joy, was I any where or any body?

그리고 그 삶 이전에는 또 어떠하였나이까, 오 나의 기쁨이신 하나님이여, 저는 어디에 있었나이까, 아니면 누구였나이까?

For this have I none to tell me, neither father nor mother, nor experience of others, nor mine own memory.

이에 대해 저에게 말해 줄 이가 아무도 없나이다, 아버지도 어머니도, 다른 이들의 경험도, 저 자신의 기억도 없나이다.

Dost Thou mock me for asking this, and bid me praise Thee and acknowledge Thee, for that I do know?

이것을 묻는 저를 비웃으시나이까, 그리고 제가 아는 것으로 당신을 찬양하고 인정하라 하시나이까?

I acknowledge Thee, Lord of heaven and earth, and praise Thee for my first rudiments of being, and my infancy, whereof I remember nothing; for Thou hast appointed that man should from others guess much as to himself; and believe much on the strength of weak females.

저는 당신을 인정하나이다, 하늘과 땅의 주님이시여, 그리고 존재의 첫 시작과 아무것도 기억하지 못하는 저의 유아기에 대해 당신을 찬양하나이다; 당신께서는 사람이 자기 자신에 대하여 다른 이들로부터 많은 것을 추측하도록 정하셨고; 연약한 여인들의 증언에 기대어 많은 것을 믿도록 하셨나이다.
