English → Korean CANTO II Level 9/10

not Aeneas I nor Paul.

나는 아에네아스도 바울도 아니로다.

Myself I deem not worthy, and none else Will deem me.

나 스스로도 자격이 없다 여기거니와, 다른 누구도 나를 그리 여기지 않으리라.

I, if on this voyage then I venture, fear it will in folly end.

내가 이 여정을 감히 떠난다 한들, 그것이 어리석음으로 끝나지 않을까 두렵노라.

Thou, who art wise, better my meaning know'st, Than I can speak."

그대는 현명하시니, 내가 말로 표현할 수 있는 것보다 나의 뜻을 더 잘 아시리라."

As one, who unresolves What he hath late resolv'd, and with new thoughts Changes his purpose, from his first intent Remov'd;

방금 전에 결심한 것을 번복하고, 새로운 생각으로 뜻을 바꾸어 처음의 의도에서 멀어지는 사람처럼;

e'en such was I on that dun coast, Wasting in thought my enterprise, at first So eagerly embrac'd.

바로 그와 같이 나는 그 어두운 해변에서, 처음에는 그토록 열렬히 품었던 내 계획을 생각 속에서 허비하고 있었노라.

"If right thy words I scan," replied that shade magnanimous, "Thy soul is by vile fear assail'd, which oft So overcasts a man, that he recoils From noblest resolution, like a beast At some false semblance in the twilight gloom.

"그대의 말을 바르게 헤아린다면," 그 고매한 영혼이 대답하였다, "그대의 영혼은 비열한 두려움에 사로잡혀 있으니, 그것이 종종 사람을 너무도 어둡게 덮어, 황혼의 어스름 속 헛된 그림자에 놀란 짐승처럼 가장 고귀한 결의에서 물러서게 만드는도다.

That from this terror thou mayst free thyself, I will instruct thee why I came, and what I heard in that same instant, when for thee Grief touch'd me first.

그대가 이 공포에서 스스로를 해방시킬 수 있도록, 나는 내가 왜 왔는지, 그리고 그대를 위해 슬픔이 처음 나를 건드렸던 바로 그 순간에 내가 무엇을 들었는지를 그대에게 가르쳐 주리라.

I was among the tribe, Who rest suspended, when a dame, so blest And lovely, I besought her to command, Call'd me;

나는 유예 속에 머무는 무리 가운데 있었는데, 그때 너무도 복되고 아름다운 한 귀부인이 나를 부르기에, 나는 그녀의 명령을 간청하였노라;

her eyes were brighter than the star Of day;

그녀의 눈은 낮의 별보다 더 밝게 빛났으며;

and she with gentle voice and soft Angelically tun'd her speech address'd:

그녀는 부드럽고 온화한 목소리로, 천사처럼 아름답게 조율된 말로 이렇게 말하였도다:

"O courteous shade of Mantua! thou whose fame Yet lives, and shall live long as nature lasts!

"오, 만토바의 정중한 영혼이여! 그대의 명성은 아직 살아 있고, 자연이 지속되는 한 오래도록 살아 있으리라!

A friend, not of my fortune but myself, On the wide desert in his road has met Hindrance so great, that he through fear has turn'd.

내 행운이 아닌 나 자신의 벗이, 넓은 황야에서 그의 길을 가다가 너무도 큰 장애를 만나, 두려움으로 인해 발길을 돌리고 말았노라.
