| 1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it. | 1 Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it. | 1 나의 눈이 이것을 다 보았고 나의 귀가 이것을 듣고 통달하였느니라 |
| 2 What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you. | 2 The same things are in my mind as in yours; I am equal to you. | 2 너희 아는 것을 나도 아노니 너희만 못한 내가 아니니라 |
| 3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. | 3 But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God. | 3 참으로 나는 전능자에게 말씀하려 하며 하나님과 변론하려 하노라 |
| 4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. | 4 But you put a false face on things; all your attempts to put things right are of no value. | 4 너희는 거짓말을 지어내는 자요 다 쓸데 없는 의원이니라 |
| 5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. | 5 If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom! | 5 너희가 잠잠하고 잠잠하기를 원하노라 이것이 너희의 지혜일 것이니라 |
| 6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. | 6 Give ear to the argument of my mouth, and take note of the words of my lips. | 6 너희는 나의 변론을 들으며 내 입술의 변명을 들어 보라 |
| 7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? | 7 Will you say in God's name what is not right, and put false words into his mouth? | 7 너희가 하나님을 위하여 불의를 말하려느냐 그를 위하여 궤휼을 말하려느냐 |
| 8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? | 8 Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters? | 8 너희가 하나님의 낯을 좇으려느냐 그를 위하여 쟁론하려느냐 |
| 9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? | 9 Will it be good for you to be searched out by him, or have you the thought that he may be guided into error like a man? | 9 하나님이 너희를 감찰하시면 좋겠느냐 너희가 사람을 속임 같이 그를 속이려느냐 |
| 10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. | 10 He will certainly put you right, if you have respect for persons in secret. | 10 만일 가만히 낯을 좇을찐대 그가 정녕 너희를 책망하시리니 |
| 11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you? | 11 Will not his glory put you in fear, so that your hearts will be overcome before him? | 11 그 존귀가 너희를 두렵게 하지 않겠으며 그 위엄이 너희에게 임하지 않겠느냐 |
| 12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay. | 12 Your wise sayings are only dust, and your strong places are only earth. | 12 너희 격언은 재 같은 속담이요 너희의 방어하는 것은 토성이니라 |
| 13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will. | 13 Keep quiet, and let me say what is in my mind, whatever may come to me. | 13 너희는 잠잠하고 나를 버려두어 말하게 하라 무슨 일이 임하든지 내가 당하리라 |
| 14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand? | 14 I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand. | 14 내가 어찌하여 내 살을 내 이로 물고 내 생명을 내 손에 두겠느냐 |
| 15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. | 15 Truly, he will put an end to me; I have no hope; but I will not give way in argument before him; | 15 그가 나를 죽이시리니 내가 소망이 없노라 그러나 그의 앞에서 내 행위를 변백하리라 |
| 16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him. | 16 And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him, | 16 사곡한 자는 그의 앞에 이르지 못하나니 이것이 나의 구원이 되리라 |
| 17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears. | 17 Give ear with care to my words, and keep what I say in your minds. | 17 너희는 들으라 내 말을 들으라 나의 설명을 너희 귀에 담을찌니라 |
| 18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified. | 18 See now, I have put my cause in order, and I am certain that I will be seen to be right. | 18 보라 내가 내 사정을 진술하였거니와 내가 스스로 의로운줄 아노라 |
| 19 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost. | 19 Is any one able to take up the argument against me? If so, I would keep quiet and give up my breath. | 19 나와 변론할 자가 누구이랴 그러면 내가 잠잠하고 기운이 끊어지리라 |
| 20 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee. | 20 Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face: | 20 오직 내게 이 두 가지 일을 행하지 마옵소서 그리하시면 내가 주의 얼굴을 피하여 숨지 아니하오리니 |
| 21 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid. | 21 Take your hand far away from me; and let me not be overcome by fear of you. | 21 곧 주의 손을 내게 대지 마옵시며 주의 위엄으로 나를 두렵게 마옵실 것이니이다 |
| 22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me. | 22 Then at the sound of your voice I will give answer; or let me put forward my cause for you to give me an answer. | 22 그리하시고 주는 나를 부르소서 내가 대답하리이다 혹 나로 말씀하게 하옵시고 주는 내게 대답하옵소서 |
| 23 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. | 23 What is the number of my evil-doings and my sins? give me knowledge of them. | 23 나의 불법과 죄가 얼마나 많으니이까 나의 허물과 죄를 내게 알게하옵소서 |
| 24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? | 24 Why is your face veiled from me, as if I was numbered among your haters? | 24 주께서 어찌하여 얼굴을 가리우시고 나를 주의 대적으로 여기시나이까 |
| 25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? | 25 Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way? | 25 주께서 어찌하여 날리는 낙엽을 놀래시며 마른 검불을 따르시나이까 |
| 26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth. | 26 For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years; | 26 주께서 나를 대적하사 괴로운 일들을 기록하시며 나로 나의 어렸을 때에 지은 죄를 받게 하시오며 |
| 27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet. | 27 And you put chains on my feet, watching all my ways, and making a limit for my steps; | 27 내 발을 착고에 채우시며 나의 모든 길을 살피사 내 발자취를 한정하시나이다 |
| 28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten. | 28 Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm. | 28 나는 썩은 물건의 후패함 같으며 좀먹은 의복 같으니이다 |
