The Confessions of St. Augustine — Page 11
Myself have seen and known even a baby envious; it could not speak, yet it turned pale and looked bitterly on its foster-brother.
나 자신도 시기하는 아기를 보고 알았노니, 그 아기는 말을 하지 못하면서도 창백해지며 자기의 젖형제를 원망스러운 눈으로 바라보았도다.
Who knows not this?
이것을 모르는 자가 누구이랴?
Mothers and nurses tell you that they allay these things by I know not what remedies.
어머니들과 유모들은 내가 알 수 없는 어떤 방법으로 이러한 것들을 달랜다고 말하느니라.
Is that too innocence, when the fountain of milk is flowing in rich abundance, not to endure one to share it, though in extremest need, and whose very life as yet depends thereon?
젖이 풍성히 흘러넘칠 때, 아무리 극심한 필요 속에 있고 그 생명이 전적으로 거기에 달려 있는 자일지라도 함께 나누는 것을 참지 못하는 것, 이 또한 순진함이라 할 수 있겠는가?
We bear gently with all this, not as being no or slight evils, but because they will disappear as years increase; for, though tolerated now, the very same tempers are utterly intolerable when found in riper years.
우리는 이 모든 것을 너그러이 참아내노니, 이것들이 악이 아니거나 가벼운 악이기 때문이 아니라, 세월이 더하면 사라질 것이기 때문이라. 지금은 용납되는 바로 그 성품들이 성숙한 나이에 나타나면 전혀 용납할 수 없는 것이 되느니라.
Thou, then, O Lord my God, who gavest life to this my infancy, furnishing thus with senses (as we see) the frame Thou gavest, compacting its limbs, ornamenting its proportions, and, for its general good and safety, implanting in it all vital functions, Thou commandest me to praise Thee in these things, to confess unto Thee, and sing unto Thy name, Thou most Highest.
그러하오니, 주 나의 하나님이시여, 이 나의 유아기에 생명을 주시고, 보시는 바와 같이 주께서 주신 몸에 감각을 갖추어 주시며, 그 지체들을 결합시키시고, 그 균형을 아름답게 하시며, 전반적인 선과 안전을 위하여 모든 생명의 기능들을 심어 주신 주께서, 이러한 것들 안에서 주를 찬양하고, 주께 고백하며, 지극히 높으신 주의 이름을 노래하라고 내게 명하시나이다.
For Thou art God, Almighty and Good, even hadst Thou done nought but only this, which none could do but Thou: whose Unity is the mould of all things; who out of Thy own fairness makest all things fair; and orderest all things by Thy law.
주는 전능하시고 선하신 하나님이시니, 비록 주께서 오직 이것만 행하셨다 할지라도 그러하오며, 이는 주 외에 아무도 행할 수 없는 것이로소이다. 주의 일체성은 만물의 틀이요, 주께서는 주 자신의 아름다우심으로 만물을 아름답게 하시며, 주의 법으로 만물을 질서 있게 하시나이다.
