삿9:1 아비멜렉과 세겜의 반역
삿9:1 아비멜렉이 왕이 됨
9:1Abimelech
the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's brothers, and spoke
with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father,
saying, 9:2Please
speak in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you,
that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are seventy persons, rule over you,
or that one rule over you? Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh. 9:3His
mother's brothers spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all
these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said,
He is our brother. 9:4They
gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal Berith,
with which Abimelech hired vain and light fellows, who followed him. 9:5He
went to his father's house at Ophrah, and killed his brothers the sons
of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, on one stone: but Jotham the youngest
son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself. 9:6All
the men of Shechem assembled themselves together, and all the house of
Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar that
was in Shechem.
삿9:7 요담의 비유
9:7When
they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim,
and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Listen to me, you
men of Shechem, that God may listen to you. 9:8The
trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said to
the olive tree, Reign you over us. 9:9But
the olive tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, with which by me
they honor God and man, and go to wave back and forth over the trees? 9:10The
trees said to the fig tree, Come you, and reign over us. 9:11But
the fig tree said to them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit,
and go to wave back and forth over the trees? 9:12The
trees said to the vine, Come you, and reign over us. 9:13The
vine said to them, Should I leave my new wine, which cheers God and man,
and go to wave back and forth over the trees? 9:14Then
said all the trees to the bramble, Come you, and reign over us. 9:15The
bramble said to the trees, If in truth you anoint me king over you, then
come and take refuge in my shade; and if not, let fire come out of the
bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon. 9:16Now
therefore, if you have dealt truly and righteously, in that you have made
Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house,
and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands 9:17(for
my father fought for you, and adventured his life, and delivered you out
of the hand of Midian: 9:18and
you are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his
sons, seventy persons, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of
his maid-servant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother); 9:19if
you then have dealt truly and righteously with Jerubbaal and with his house
this day, then rejoice you in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you: 9:20but
if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem,
and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem,
and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech. 9:21Jotham
ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and lived there, for fear of Abimelech
his brother.
삿9:22 아비멜렉을 배반한 세겜인들
9:22Abimelech
was prince over Israel three years. 9:23God
sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men
of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: 9:24that
the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that
their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them,
and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers. 9:25The
men of Shechem set liers-in-wait for him on the tops of the mountains,
and they robbed all who came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
삿9:26 가알의 음모
9:26Gaal
the son of Ebed came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the
men of Shechem put their trust in him. 9:27They
went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards, and trod the
grapes, and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and
did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech. 9:28Gaal
the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should
serve him? Isn't he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve
you the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: but why should we serve him? 9:29Would
that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. He
said to Abimelech, Increase your army, and come out. 9:30When
Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his
anger was kindled. 9:31He
sent messengers to Abimelech craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of
Ebed and his brothers are come to Shechem; and, behold, they constrain
the city to take part against you. 9:32Now
therefore, up by night, you and the people who are with you, and lie in
wait in the field: 9:33and
it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise
early, and rush on the city; and, behold, when he and the people who are
with him come out against you, then may you do to them as you shall find
occasion.
삿9:34 세겜을 정복하는 아비멜렉
9:34Abimelech
rose up, and all the people who were with him, by night, and they laid
wait against Shechem in four companies. 9:35Gaal
the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the
city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people who were with him, from the
ambush. 9:36When
Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from
the tops of the mountains. Zebul said to him, You see the shadow of the
mountains as if they were men. 9:37Gaal
spoke again and said, Behold, there come people down by the middle of the
land, and one company comes by the way of the oak of Meonenim. 9:38Then
said Zebul to him, Where is now your mouth, that you said, Who is Abimelech,
that we should serve him? is not this the people that you have despised?
go out now, I pray, and fight with them. 9:39Gaal
went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech. 9:40Abimelech
chased him, and he fled before him, and there fell many wounded, even to
the entrance of the gate. 9:41Abimelech
lived at Arumah: and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, that they should
not dwell in Shechem. 9:42It
happened on the next day, that the people went out into the field; and
they told Abimelech. 9:43He
took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in
the field; and he looked, and, behold, the people came forth out of the
city; He rose up against them, and struck them. 9:44Abimelech,
and the companies that were with him, rushed forward, and stood in the
entrance of the gate of the city: and the two companies rushed on all who
were in the field, and struck them. 9:45Abimelech
fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and killed
the people who were therein: and he beat down the city, and sowed it with
salt. 9:46When
all the men of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered into the
stronghold of the house of Elberith. 9:47It
was told Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered
together. 9:48Abimelech
got him up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and
Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees,
and took it up, and laid it on his shoulder: and he said to the people
who were with him, What you have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have
done. 9:49All
the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech,
and put them to the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire on them;
so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand
men and women.
삿9:50 아비멜렉의 죽음
9:50Then
went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it. 9:51But
there was a strong tower within the city, and there fled all the men and
women, and all they of the city, and shut themselves in, and got them up
to the roof of the tower. 9:52Abimelech
came to the tower, and fought against it, and drew near to the door of
the tower to burn it with fire. 9:53A
certain woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech's head, and broke his
skull. 9:54Then
he called hastily to the young man his armor bearer, and said to him, Draw
your sword, and kill me, that men not say of me, A woman killed him. His
young man thrust him through, and he died. 9:55When
the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man
to his place. 9:56Thus
God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father, in
killing his seventy brothers; 9:57and
all the wickedness of the men of Shechem did God requite on their heads:
and on them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal. |
