The Confessions of St. Augustine — Page 14
For this was judged right by our forefathers; and many, passing the same course before us, framed for us weary paths, through which we were fain to pass; multiplying toil and grief upon the sons of Adam.
이것은 우리 조상들에 의해 옳다고 판단되었으며, 우리보다 앞서 같은 길을 걸어간 많은 이들이 우리를 위해 고단한 길을 만들어 놓았고, 그 길을 우리는 기꺼이 지나가야 했으니, 아담의 자손들 위에 수고와 슬픔을 더하였도다.
But, Lord, we found that men called upon Thee, and we learnt from them to think of Thee (according to our powers) as of some great One, who, though hidden from our senses, couldest hear and help us.
그러나 주님, 우리는 사람들이 당신을 부르는 것을 발견하였고, 그들로부터 우리의 능력에 따라 당신을, 비록 우리의 감각으로는 숨겨져 있으나 우리의 말을 듣고 우리를 도울 수 있는 위대한 분으로 생각하는 법을 배웠나이다.
For so I began, as a boy, to pray to Thee, my aid and refuge; and broke the fetters of my tongue to call on Thee, praying Thee, though small, yet with no small earnestness, that I might not be beaten at school.
그리하여 나는 소년으로서 나의 도움이요 피난처이신 당신께 기도하기 시작하였고, 혀의 족쇄를 풀어 당신을 부르며, 비록 어리지만 결코 작지 않은 간절함으로, 학교에서 매를 맞지 않게 해 달라고 기도하였나이다.
And when Thou heardest me not (not thereby giving me over to folly), my elders, yea my very parents, who yet wished me no ill, mocked my stripes, my then great and grievous ill.
당신께서 나의 기도를 들어주지 않으셨을 때 (그로써 나를 어리석음에 내버려 두신 것은 아니었으나), 나의 어른들, 심지어 나를 해치기를 원하지 않았던 나의 부모님조차도, 나의 매질을, 그 당시 나에게는 크고 괴로운 고통이었던 것을 비웃었나이다.
Is there, Lord, any of soul so great, and cleaving to Thee with so intense affection (for a sort of stupidity will in a way do it); but is there any one who, from cleaving devoutly to Thee, is endued with so great a spirit, that he can think as lightly of the racks and hooks and other torments (against which, throughout all lands, men call on Thee with extreme dread), mocking at those by whom they are feared most bitterly, as our parents mocked the torments which we suffered in boyhood from our masters?
주님, 과연 당신께 그토록 강렬한 애정으로 매달리는 (일종의 어리석음이 어느 정도 그렇게 할 수도 있겠지만) 위대한 영혼을 가진 자가 있나이까? 그러나 경건하게 당신께 매달림으로써, 고문대와 갈고리와 그 밖의 고문들 — 이것들에 맞서 온 세상에서 사람들이 극도의 두려움으로 당신을 부르는 — 을 가볍게 여길 만큼 위대한 정신을 부여받은 자가 있어, 우리의 부모님이 우리가 소년 시절 스승들로부터 당한 고통을 비웃었듯이, 그것들을 가장 쓰라리게 두려워하는 자들을 비웃을 수 있는 자가 있나이까?
