Proverbs 12
새해에 해맞이하러 간절곶에 가는 것을 남편과 나는 포기했다. 대신 따뜻한 잠자리에서의 게으름을 만끽했다. 어차피 못 갔으니까. 그런데 연희동 김작가님은 댁 옥상에서 새해 해맞이를 하며 글로 남기셨다. 그때야 나는 그렇지! 어디서고 해는 뜨는데! 하하 그래서 그때부터 여차하면 우리 집 베란다에서 해님을 관찰했다. 그리고 이렇게도 멋진 해 지는 장면을 포착했다.
1 Whoeve loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid. 2 Good people obtain favor from the LORD, but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes. 3 No one can be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted. 4 A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. 5 The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
discipline 규율
condemn 규탄하다.
devise 창안하다
scheme 계획
uprooted 뿌리째 뽑힌
decay 부패, 부식
deceitful 부정직한, 사기성의
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them. 7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm. 8 A person is praised according to their prudence, and one with a warped mind is despised. 9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
overthrow 타도하다. 전복시키다.
warped 비뚤어진, 뒤틀린
despise 경멸하다.
10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel. 11 Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense. 12 The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers, but the root of the righteous endures.
stronghold 성채, 요새
13 Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk, and so the innocent escape trouble. 14 From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things, and the work of their hands brings them reward. 15 The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice. 16 Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.
annoyance 짜증
overlook 못 본 체하다.
17 An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies. 18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19 Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. 20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy.
reckless 무모한
21 No harm overtakes the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble. 22 The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. 23 The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves, but a fool's heart blurts out folly. 24 Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor. 25 Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.
overtakes 추월하다. 불시에 닥치다.
blurt 불쑥 내뱉다.
26 The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. 27 The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. 28 In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality.
immortality 불멸
