삼하19:1 다윗의 환도
삼하19:1 다윗을 위한 요합의 간청
삼하 19:1 Joab was told, "The king is weeping and mourning for Absalom."
삼하 19:2 And for the whole army the victory that day was turned into
mourning, because on that day the troops heard it said, "The king is grieving
for his son."
삼하 19:3 The men stole into the city that day as men steal in who
are ashamed when they flee from battle.
삼하 19:4 The king covered his face and cried aloud, "O my son Absalom!
O Absalom, my son, my son!"
삼하 19:5 Then Joab went into the house to the king and said, "Today
you have humiliated all your men, who have ju st saved your life and the
lives of your sons and daughters and the lives of your wives and concubines.
삼하 19:6 You love those who hate you and hate those who love you.
You have made it clear today that the commanders and their men mean nothing
to you. I see that you would be pleased if Absalom were alive today and
all of us were dead.
삼하 19:7 Now go out and encourage your men. I swear by the LORD that
if you don't go out, not a man will be left with you by nightfall. This
will be worse for you than all the calamities that have come upon you from
your youth till now. "
삼하 19:8 So the king got up and took his seat in the gateway. When
the men were told, "The king is sitting in the gateway," they all came
before him. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled to their homes.
삼하19:9 다윗의 복귀와 환궁
삼하 19:9 Throughout the tribes of Israel, the people were all arguing
with each other, saying, "The king delivere d us from the hand of our enemies;
he is the one who rescued us from the hand of the Philistines. But now
he has fled th e country because of Absalom;
삼하 19:10 and Absalom, whom we anointed to rule over us, has died
in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?"
삼하 19:11 King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the
priests: "Ask the elders of Judah, 'Why should you be the last to bring
the king back to his palace, since what is being said throughout Israel
has reached the king at his quarters?
삼하 19:12 You are my brothers, my own flesh and blood. So why should
you be the last to bring back the king?'
삼하 19:13 And say to Amasa, 'Are you not my own flesh and blood? May
God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if from now on you are not the
commander of my army in place of Joab.'"
삼하 19:14 He won over the hearts of all the men of Judah as though
they were one man. They sent word to the king, "Return, you and all your
men."
삼하 19:15 Then the king returned and went as far as the Jordan. Now
the men of Judah had come to Gilgal to go out and meet the king and bring
him across the Jordan.
삼하19:16 시므이를 용서하는 다윗
삼하 19:16 Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried
down with the men of Judah to meet King David.
삼하 19:17 With him were a thousand Benjamites, along with Ziba, the
steward of Saul's household, and his fifteen sons and twenty servants.
They rushed to the Jordan, where the king was.
삼하 19:18 They crossed at the ford to take the king's household over
and to do whatever he wished. When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan,
he fell prostrate before the king
삼하 19:19 and said to him, "May my lord not hold me guilty. Do not
remember how your servant did wrong on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem.
May the king put it out of his mind.
삼하 19:20 For I your servant know that I have sinned, but today I
have come here as the first of the whole house of Jo seph to come down
and meet my lord the king."
삼하 19:21 Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said, "Shouldn't Shimei be put
to death for this? He cursed the LORD'S anoi nted."
삼하 19:22 David replied, "What do you and I have in common, you sons
of Zeruiah? This day you have become my adve rsaries! Should anyone be
put to death in Israel today? Do I not know that today I am king over Israel?"
삼하 19:23 So the king said to Shimei, "You shall not die." And the
king promised him on oath.
삼하19:24 다윗을 영접하는 므비보셋
삼하 19:24 Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson, also went down to meet the
king. He had not taken care of his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed
his clothes from the day the king left until the day he returned safely.
삼하 19:25 When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked
him, "Why didn't you go with me, Mephibosh eth?"
삼하 19:26 He said, "My lord the king, since I your servant am lame,
I said, 'I will have my donkey saddled and wi ll ride on it, so I can go
with the king.' But Ziba my servant betrayed me.
삼하 19:27 And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My
lord the king is like an angel of God; so do whate ver pleases you.
삼하 19:28 All my grandfather's descendants deserved nothing but death
from my lord the king, but you gave your servant a place among those who
sat at your table. So what right do I have to make any more appeals to
the king?"
삼하 19:29 The king said to him, "Why say more? I order you and Ziba
to divide the fields."
삼하 19:30 Mephibosheth said to the king, "Let him take everything,
now that my lord the king has arrived home saf ely."
삼하19:31 바실래와 작별하는 다윗
삼하 19:31 Barzillai the Gileadite also came down from Rogelim to cross
the Jordan with the king and to send him on his way from there.
삼하 19:32 Now Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years of age. He
had provided for the king during his stay in Mahan aim, for he was a very
wealthy man.
삼하 19:33 The king said to Barzillai, "Cross over with me and stay
with me in Jerusalem, and I will provide for y ou."
삼하 19:34 But Barzillai answered the king, "How many more years will
I live, that I should go up to Jerusalem wit h the king?
삼하 19:35 I am now eighty years old. Can I tell the difference between
what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats and drinks?
Can I still hear the voices of men and women singers? Why should your servant
be an added burden to my lord the king?
삼하 19:36 Your servant will cross over the Jordan with the king for
a short distance, but why should the king reward m e in this way?
삼하 19:37 Let your servant return, that I may die in my own town near
the tomb of my father and mother. But here is yo ur servant Kimham. Let
him cross over with my lord the king. Do for him whatever pleases you."
삼하 19:38 The king said, "Kimham shall cross over with me, and I will
do for him whatever pleases you. And anythi ng you desire from me I will
do for you."
삼하 19:39 So all the people crossed the Jordan, and then the king
crossed over. The king kissed Barzillai and gave him his blessing, and
Barzillai returned to his home.
삼하19:40 유다와 이스라엘의 갈등
삼하 19:40 When the king crossed over to Gilgal, Kimham crossed with
him. All the troops of Judah and half the troops o f Israel had taken the
king over.
삼하 19:41 Soon all the men of Israel were coming to the king and saying
to him, "Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, steal the king away and
bring him and his household across the Jordan, together with all his men?"
삼하 19:42 All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "We did
this because the king is closely related to us . Why are you angry about
it? Have we eaten any of the king's provisions? Have we taken anything
for ourselves?"
삼하 19:43 Then the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, "We have
ten shares in the king; and besides, we have a greater claim on David than
you have. So why do you treat us with contempt? Were we not the first to
speak of bringin g back our king?" But the men of Judah responded even
more harshly than the men of Israel. |
