Job 17
1 “My (life/time to live) is almost ended; I have no strength left; my grave is waiting for me.
나의 기운이 쇠하였으며 나의 날이 다하였고 무덤이 나를 위하여 예비되었구나
2 Those who are around me are making fun of me; I [SYN] watch them while they (taunt/make fun of) me.”
나를 조롱하는 자들이 오히려 나와 함께 있으므로 내 눈이 그들의 격동함을 항상 보는구나
3 “God, [it is as though I am in prison; ] please pay the money in order that I may be released, because there is certainly no one else who will help me.
청컨대 보증물을 주시고 친히 나의 보주가 되옵소서 주 외에 나로 더불어 손을 칠 자가 누구리이까
4 You have prevented my friends from understanding [what is true about me]; do not allow them to triumph over me, [saying that I have done things that are wrong].
주께서 그들의 마음을 가리워 깨닫지 못하게 하셨사오니 그들을 높이지 아니 하시리이다
5 [Our ancestors often said, ‘It often happens that] when someone betrays his friends in order to get some of their property, it is that person’s children who will be punished for it;’ [so I desire/hope that will be true of these friends of mine who are lying about me].
친구를 지적하여 해를 받게 한 자의 자식들은 눈이 멀지니라
6 “But now people use that saying of our ancestors when they talk about me; they spit in my face [to insult me].
하나님이 나로 백성의 이야기거리가 되게 하시니 그들이 내 얼굴에 침을 뱉는구나
7 (My sight has become dim/I cannot see well) because I am extremely sad, and my arms and legs are [very thin, with the result that they almost do not cast] [MET] a shadow.
내 눈은 근심으로 하여 어두워지고 나의 온 지체는 그림자 같구나
8 Those who [say that they] are good/righteous are shocked [when they see what has happened to me], and people who [say that they] (are innocent/have not done anything that is wrong) say that I am wicked/godless and should be punished.
정직자는 이를 인하여 놀라고 무죄자는 사곡한 자를 인하여 분을 내나니
9 Those who [claim that they] are righteous will continue to do what [they think] is right, and those [who say] they have not sinned will continue to become stronger.
그러므로 의인은 그 길을 독실히 행하고 손이 깨끗한 자는 점점 힘을 얻느니라
10 “But even if all of those people came [and stood in front of me], I would not find anyone among them who is wise.
너희는 다 다시 올지니라 내가 너희 중에서 지혜자를 찾을 수 없느니라
11 My (life/time to live) is almost ended; I have not been able to do the things that I confidently expected to do; [I have not been able to accomplish] anything that I [SYN] desired.
나의 날이 지나갔고 내 경영 내 마음의 사모하는 바가 다 끊어졌구나
12 My friends do not know when it is night and when it is day; when it is night, they claim that it is daylight; when it is becoming dark, they claim it is becoming light.
그들은 밤으로 낮을 삼고 빛이 어두운데 가깝다 하는구나
13 If my home will be the place where dead people are, where will I sleep in the darkness? (Sheol h7585)
내 소망이 음부로 내 집을 삼음에 있어서 침상을 흑암에 베풀고 (Sheol h7585)
14 I may say to the grave, ‘You will be [like] a father to me,’ and say to the maggots [that will eat my body], ‘You will be [like] a mother or younger sisters to me [because you will be where I will always be].’
무덤더러 너는 내 아비라 구더기더러 너는 내 어미, 내 자매라 할진대
15 But if I say those things, (will there be anything good that I can confidently expect to happen to me?/there will be nothing good that I can confidently expect to happen to me.) [RHQ] (Is there anyone who knows anything good that I can expect when I am in the grave?/No one knows anything good that I can expect when I am in the grave.) [RHQ]
나의 소망이 어디 있으며 나의 소망을 누가 보겠느냐
16 After I descend to the place where the dead are, (will I be able to confidently expect anything good there?/I certainly will not be able to confidently expect anything good there.) [RHQ] [It will be as though] [RHQ] I and the things I hope for will descend with me into the dust [where the dead are].” (Sheol h7585)
흙 속에서 쉴 때에는 소망이 음부 문으로 내려갈 뿐이니라 (Sheol h7585)
