The divine comedy — Page 2
a panther, nimble, light,
표범 한 마리, 민첩하고 가벼운,
And cover'd with a speckled skin, appear'd,
얼룩무늬 가죽을 덮은 채로, 나타났는데,
Nor, when it saw me, vanish'd, rather strove
나를 보고도 사라지지 않고, 오히려 애썼으니
To check my onward going; that ofttimes
나의 앞길을 막으려 하였다; 그리하여 여러 번
With purpose to retrace my steps I turn'd.
발길을 돌이킬 생각으로 나는 뒤를 돌았다.
The hour was morning's prime, and on his way
때는 이른 아침이었고, 태양은 그 길을 따라
Aloft the sun ascended with those stars,
저 별들과 함께 높이 떠오르고 있었으니,
That with him rose, when Love divine first mov'd
신성한 사랑이 처음으로 움직였을 때 그와 함께 떠올랐던 별들,
Those its fair works: so that with joyous hope
그 아름다운 창조물들을: 그리하여 기쁜 희망으로
All things conspir'd to fill me, the gay skin
모든 것이 나를 채우려 하였으니, 그 경쾌한 가죽무늬와
Of that swift animal, the matin dawn
그 날쌘 짐승의, 이른 새벽과
And the sweet season. Soon that joy was chas'd,
그리고 달콤한 계절이. 이윽고 그 기쁨은 쫓겨났고,
And by new dread succeeded, when in view
새로운 두려움이 그 뒤를 이었으니, 눈앞에
A lion came, 'gainst me, as it appear'd,
사자 한 마리가, 나를 향해, 나타났는데,
With his head held aloft and hunger-mad,
머리를 높이 치켜들고 굶주림에 미쳐,
That e'en the air was fear-struck. A she-wolf
공기조차 두려움에 얼어붙을 지경이었다. 암늑대 한 마리가
Was at his heels, who in her leanness seem'd
그의 뒤를 따르고 있었는데, 그 여윈 몸으로
Full of all wants, and many a land hath made
온갖 결핍으로 가득 차 보였고, 수많은 땅을
Disconsolate ere now. She with such fear
이미 황폐하게 만들었다. 그것은 그토록 큰 두려움으로
O'erwhelmed me, at the sight of her appall'd,
나를 압도하였으니, 그 모습에 경악하여,
That of the height all hope I lost. As one,
나는 높은 곳에 대한 모든 희망을 잃었다. 마치,
Who with his gain elated, sees the time
이익을 얻어 의기양양하다가, 어느 순간
When all unwares is gone, he inwardly
그 모든 것이 어느새 사라짐을 보고, 속으로
Mourns with heart-griping anguish; such was I,
가슴을 쥐어짜는 고통으로 슬퍼하는 자처럼; 나도 그러하였으니,
Haunted by that fell beast, never at peace,
그 흉악한 짐승에 쫓기어, 한시도 평안치 못하고,
Who coming o'er against me, by degrees
나를 향해 다가오며, 차츰차츰
Impell'd me where the sun in silence rests.
태양이 고요히 쉬는 그곳으로 나를 몰아갔다.
While to the lower space with backward step
낮은 곳을 향해 뒷걸음질로
I fell, my ken discern'd the form one of one,
내가 내려가는 동안, 내 눈은 한 형체를 알아보았는데,
Whose voice seem'd faint through long disuse of speech.
그 목소리는 오랜 침묵으로 인해 가냘프게 들렸다.
