9

And all the people were quarreling throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king rescued us from the hands of our enemies and saved us from the hands of the Philistines, but now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.

10

However, Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now then, why are you silent about bringing the king back?”

11

Then King David sent word to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the word of all Israel has come to the king, even to his house?

12

You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why then should you be the last to bring back the king?’

13

And say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and more so, if you will not be commander of the army for me continually, in place of Joab.’”

14

So he turned the hearts of all the men of Judah as one man, so that they sent word to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”

15

The king then returned and came as far as the Jordan. And the men of Judah came to Gilgal in order to go to meet the king, to escort the king across the Jordan.

16

Then Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

17

And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they rushed to the Jordan before the king.

18

Then they crossed the shallow places repeatedly to bring over the king’s household, and to do what was good in his sight. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was about to cross the Jordan.

19

And he said to the king, “May my lord not consider me guilty, nor call to mind what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, so that the king would take it to heart.

20

For your servant knows that I have sinned; so behold, I have come today, the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”

21

But Abishai the son of Zeruiah responded, “Should Shimei not be put to death for this, the fact that he cursed the Lord’s anointed?”

22

David then said, “What is there between you and me, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be an adversary to me today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?”

23

So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” The king also swore to him.

9

이스라엘 모든 지파 백성들이 변론하여 이르되 왕이 우리를 원수의 손에서 구원하여 내셨고 또 우리를 블레셋 사람들의 손에서 구원하셨으나 이제 압살롬을 피하여 그 땅에서 나가셨고

9

And all the people were quarreling throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king rescued us from the hands of our enemies and saved us from the hands of the Philistines, but now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.

10

우리가 기름을 부어 우리를 다스리게 한 압살롬은 싸움에서 죽었거늘 이제 너희가 어찌하여 왕을 도로 모셔 올 일에 잠잠하고 있느냐 하니라

10

However, Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now then, why are you silent about bringing the king back?”

11

다윗 왕이 사독과 아비아달 두 제사장에게 소식을 전하여 이르되 너희는 유다 장로들에게 말하여 이르기를 왕의 말씀이 온 이스라엘이 왕을 왕궁으로 도로 모셔오자 하는 말이 왕께 들렸거늘 너희는 어찌하여 왕을 궁으로 모시는 일에 나중이 되느냐

11

Then King David sent word to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the word of all Israel has come to the king, even to his house?

12

너희는 내 형제요 내 골육이거늘 너희는 어찌하여 왕을 도로 모셔오는 일에 나중이 되리요 하셨다 하고

12

You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why then should you be the last to bring back the king?’

13

너희는 또 아마사에게 이르기를 너는 내 골육이 아니냐 네가 요압을 이어서 항상 내 앞에서 지휘관이 되지 아니하면 하나님이 내게 벌 위에 벌을 내리시기를 바라노라 하셨다 하라 하여

13

And say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and more so, if you will not be commander of the army for me continually, in place of Joab.’”

14

모든 유다 사람들의 마음을 하나 같이 기울게 하매 그들이 왕께 전갈을 보내어 이르되 당신께서는 모든 부하들과 더불어 돌아오소서 한지라

14

So he turned the hearts of all the men of Judah as one man, so that they sent word to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”

15

왕이 돌아와 요단에 이르매 유다 족속이 왕을 맞아 요단을 건너가게 하려고 길갈로 오니라

15

The king then returned and came as far as the Jordan. And the men of Judah came to Gilgal in order to go to meet the king, to escort the king across the Jordan.

16

바후림에 있는 베냐민 사람 게라의 아들 시므이가 급히 유다 사람과 함께 다윗 왕을 맞으러 내려올 때에

16

Then Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

17

베냐민 사람 천 명이 그와 함께 하고 사울 집안의 종 시바도 그의 아들 열다섯과 종 스무 명과 더불어 그와 함께 하여 요단 강을 밟고 건너 왕 앞으로 나아오니라

17

And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they rushed to the Jordan before the king.

18

왕의 가족을 건너가게 하며 왕이 좋게 여기는 대로 쓰게 하려 하여 나룻배로 건너가니 왕이 요단을 건너가게 할 때에 게라의 아들 시므이가 왕 앞에 엎드려

18

Then they crossed the shallow places repeatedly to bring over the king’s household, and to do what was good in his sight. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was about to cross the Jordan.

19

왕께 아뢰되 내 주여 원하건대 내게 죄를 돌리지 마옵소서 내 주 왕께서 예루살렘에서 나오시던 날에 종의 패역한 일을 기억하지 마시오며 왕의 마음에 두지 마옵소서

19

And he said to the king, “May my lord not consider me guilty, nor call to mind what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, so that the king would take it to heart.

20

왕의 종 내가 범죄한 줄 아옵기에 오늘 요셉의 온 족속 중 내가 먼저 내려와서 내 주 왕을 영접하나이다 하니

20

For your servant knows that I have sinned; so behold, I have come today, the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”

21

스루야의 아들 아비새가 대답하여 이르되 시므이가 여호와의 기름 부으신 자를 저주하였으니 그로 말미암아 죽어야 마땅하지 아니하니이까 하니라

21

But Abishai the son of Zeruiah responded, “Should Shimei not be put to death for this, the fact that he cursed the Lord’s anointed?”

22

다윗이 이르되 스루야의 아들들아 내가 너희와 무슨 상관이 있기에 너희가 오늘 나의 원수가 되느냐 오늘 어찌하여 이스라엘 가운데에서 사람을 죽이겠느냐 내가 오늘 이스라엘의 왕이 된 것을 내가 알지 못하리요 하고

22

David then said, “What is there between you and me, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be an adversary to me today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?”

23

왕이 시므이에게 이르되 네가 죽지 아니하리라 하고 그에게 맹세하니라

23

So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” The king also swore to him.
