전도서 12장 - 집을 지키는 자들이 떨 것이며 힘있는 자들이 구부러질 것이며 ..... 창들로 내어다 보는 자가 어두워질 것이며

 

 

전도서 12장

 

 

1 너는 청년의 때 곧 곤고한 날이 이르기 전,

나는 아무 낙이 없다고 할 해가 가깝기 전에 너의 창조자를 기억하라

2 해와 빛과 달과 별들이 어둡기 전에 비 뒤에 구름이 다시 일어나기 전에 그리하라

3 그런 날에는 집을 지키는 자들이 떨 것이며

힘있는 자들이 구부러질 것이며

맷돌질 하는 자들이 적으므로 그칠 것이며

창들로 내어다 보는 자가 어두워질 것이며

4 길거리 문들이 닫혀질 것이며

맷돌 소리가 적어질 것이며

새의 소리를 인하여 일어날 것이며

음악하는 여자들은 다 쇠하여질 것이며

5 그런 자들은 높은 곳을 두려워할 것이며

길에서는 놀랄 것이며

살구나무(Almond Tree) 가 꽃이 필 것이며

(아몬드 나무 Almond Tree : 2월 말에서 3월 초에 연한 핑크와 흰색으로

꽃을 피움) 

between late February and early March,

almond tree buds burst into beautiful light pink and white blooms in preparation for pollination.

Nonpareils are among the first to bloom, while other varieties, such as Carmel and Mission, bloom later.

메뚜기도 짐이 될 것이며 원욕이 그치리니

이는 사람이 자기 영원한 집으로 돌아가고 조문자들이 거리로 왕래하게 됨이라

 

 

6 은줄이 풀리고 금 그릇이 깨어지고 항아리가 샘 곁에서 깨어지고

바퀴가 우물 위에서 깨어지고

7 흙은 여전히 땅으로 돌아가고 신은 그 주신 하나님께로 돌아가기 전에 기억하라

 
8 전도자가 가로되 헛되고 헛되도다 모든 것이 헛되도다

 

9 전도자가 지혜로움으로 여전히 백성에게 지식을 가르쳤고

또 묵상하고 궁구하여 잠언을 많이 지었으며

10 전도자가 힘써 아름다운 말을 구하였나니 기록한 것은 정직하여 진리의 말씀이니라

 

 

11 지혜자의 말씀은 찌르는 채찍같고 회중의 스승의 말씀은 잘 박힌못 같으니

다 한 목자의 주신 바니라

12 내 아들아 또 경계를 받으라

여러 책을 짓는 것은 끝이 없고 많이 공부하는 것은 몸을 피곤케 하느니라

 

13 일의 결국을 다 들었으니 하나님을 경외하고 그 명령을 지킬지어다

이것이 사람의 본분이니라

14 하나님은 모든 행위와 모든 은밀한 일을 선악간에 심판하시리라

 

 

 

Ecclesiastes 12 (21cKJV)

 

 

1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,

Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say,

" I have no pleasure in them":

2 While the sun and the light, The moon and the stars,

Are not darkened, And the clouds do not return after the rain;

3 In the day when the keepers of the house tremble,

And the strong men bow down; When the grinders cease because they are few,

And those that look through the windows grow dim;

4 When the doors are shut in the streets, And the sound of grinding is low;

When one rises up at the sound of a bird, And all the daughters of music are brought low.

 

5 Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way;

When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails.

For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets.

 

 

6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed,

Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,

Or the wheel broken at the well.

7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,

And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

8 "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, " All is vanity."

9 And moreover, because the Preacher was wise,

he still taught the people knowledge;

yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs.

10 The Preacher sought to find acceptable words;

and what was written was upright --- words of truth.

 

 

11 The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails,

given by one Shepherd.

12 And further, my son, be admonished by these.

Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all.

14 For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.

 

 

 

Ecclesiastes 12 (ESV)

 

 

1 Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth,

before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say,

"I have no pleasure in them";

2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened

and the clouds return after the rain,

3 in the day when the keepers of the house tremble,

and the strong men are bent,

and the grinders cease because they are few,

and those who look through the windows are dimmed,

 

4 and the doors on the street are shut---when the sound of the grinding is low,

and one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low---

 

5 they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way;

the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along,

and desire fails, because man is going to his eternal home,

and the mourners go about the streets---

 

6 before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken,

or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,

7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

8 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.

9 Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge,

weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care.

10 The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.

 

 

 

11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings;

they are given by one Shepherd.

12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end,

and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments,

for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.
