| 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, | 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said, | 1 데만 사람 엘리바스가 대답하여 가로되 |
| 2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? | 2 Is it possible for a man to be of profit to God? No, for a man's wisdom is only of profit to himself. | 2 사람이 어찌 하나님께 유익하게 하겠느냐 지혜로운 자도 스스로 유익할 따름이니라 |
| 3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? | 3 Is it of any interest to the Ruler of all that you are upright? or is it of use to him that your ways are without sin? | 3 네가 의로운들 전능자에게 무슨 기쁨이 있겠으며 네 행위가 온전한들 그에게 무슨 이익이 있겠느냐 |
| 4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment? | 4 Is it because you give him honour that he is sending punishment on you and is judging you? | 4 하나님이 너를 책망하시며 너를 심문하심이 너의 경외함을 인함이냐 |
| 5 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite? | 5 Is not your evil-doing great? and there is no end to your sins. | 5 네 악이 크지 아니하냐 네 죄악이 극하니라 |
| 6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. | 6 For you have taken your brother's goods when he was not in your debt, and have taken away the clothing of those who have need of it. | 6 까닭 없이 형제의 물건을 볼모 잡으며 헐벗은 자의 의복을 벗기며 |
| 7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. | 7 You do not give water to the tired traveller, and from him who has no food you keep back bread. | 7 갈한 자에게 물을 마시우지 아니하며 주린 자에게 식물을 주지 아니하였구나 |
| 8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man ㆍ dwelt in it. | 8 For it was the man with power who had the land, and the man with an honoured name who was living in it. | 8 권세 있는 자가 토지를 얻고 존귀한 자가 거기서 사는구나 |
| 9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. | 9 You have sent widows away without hearing their cause, and you have taken away the support of the child who has no father. | 9 네가 과부를 공수로 돌아가게 하며 고아의 팔을 꺾는구나 |
| 10 Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; | 10 For this cause nets are round your feet, and you are overcome with sudden fear. | 10 이러므로 올무들이 너를 둘러 있고 두려움이 홀연히 너를 침범하며 |
| 11 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. | 11 Your light is made dark so that you are unable to see, and you are covered by a mass of waters. | 11 어두움이 너로 보지 못하게 하고 창수가 너를 덮느니라 |
| 12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! | 12 Is not God as high as heaven? and see the stars, how high they are! | 12 하나님이 높은 하늘에 계시지 아니하냐 보라 별의 높음이 얼마나 높은가 |
| 13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? | 13 And you say, What knowledge has God? is he able to give decisions through the deep dark? | 13 그러나 네 말은 하나님이 무엇을 아시며 흑암 중에서 어찌 심판하실 수 있으랴 |
| 14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. | 14 Thick clouds are covering him, so that he is unable to see; and he is walking on the arch of heaven. | 14 빽빽한 구름이 그를 가리운즉 그가 보지 못하시고 궁창으로 걸어 다니실 뿐이라 하는구나 |
| 15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? | 15 Will you keep the old way by which evil men went? | 15 네가 악인의 밟던 옛적 길을 지키려느냐 |
| 16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: | 16 Who were violently taken away before their time, who were overcome by the rush of waters: | 16 그들은 때가 이르기 전에 끊어버리웠고 그 터는 하수로 인하여 함몰되었느니라 |
| 17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them? | 17 Who said to God, Go away from us; and, What is the Ruler of all able to do to us? | 17 그들이 하나님께 말하기를 우리를 떠나소서 하며 또 말하기를 전능자가 우리를 위하여 무엇을 하실 수 있으랴 하였으나 |
| 18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. | 18 Though he made their houses full of good things: but the purpose of the evil-doers is far from me! | 18 하나님이 좋은 것으로 그 집에 채우셨느니라 악인의 계획은 나와 판이하니라 |
| 19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn. | 19 The upright saw it and were glad: and those who had done no wrong made sport of them, | 19 의인은 보고 기뻐하고 무죄자는 그들을 비웃기를 |
| 20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. | 20 Saying, Truly, their substance is cut off, and their wealth is food for the fire. | 20 우리의 대적이 끊어졌고 그 남은 것이 불사른바 되었다 하느니라 |
| 21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. | 21 Put yourself now in a right relation with him and be at peace: so will you do well in your undertakings. | 21 너는 하나님과 화목하고 평안하라 그리하면 복이 네게 임하리라 |
| 22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. | 22 Be pleased to take teaching from his mouth, and let his words be stored up in your heart. | 22 청컨대 너는 그 입에서 교훈을 받고 그 말씀을 네 마음에 두라 |
| 23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. | 23 If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents; | 23 네가 만일 전능자에게로 돌아가고 또 네 장막에서 불의를 멀리 버리면 다시 흥하리라 |
| 24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. | 24 And put your gold in the dust, even your gold of Ophir among the rocks of the valleys; | 24 네 보배를 진토에 버리고 오빌의 금을 강 가의 돌에 버리라 |
| 25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. | 25 Then the Ruler of all will be your gold, and his teaching will be your silver; | 25 그리하면 전능자가 네 보배가 되시며 네게 귀한 은이 되시리니 |
| 26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. | 26 For then you will have delight in the Ruler of all, and your face will be lifted up to God. | 26 이에 네가 전능자를 기뻐하여 하나님께로 얼굴을 들 것이라 |
| 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. | 27 You will make your prayer to him, and be answered; and you will give effect to your oaths. | 27 너는 그에게 기도하겠고 그는 들으실 것이며 너의 서원한 것을 네가 갚으리라 |
| 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. | 28 Your purposes will come about, and light will be shining on your ways. | 28 네가 무엇을 경영하면 이루어질 것이요 네 길에 빛이 비취리라 |
| 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. | 29 For God makes low those whose hearts are lifted up, but he is a saviour to the poor in spirit. | 29 네가 낮춤을 받거든 높아지리라고 말하라 하나님은 겸손한 자를 구원하시느니라 |
| 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands. | 30 He makes safe the man who is free from sin, and if your hands are clean, salvation will be yours. | 30 무죄한 자가 아니라도 건지시리니 네 손이 깨끗함을 인하여 그런 자가 건지심을 입으리라 |
