24

Then Mephibosheth the grandson of Saul came down to meet the king; but he had neither tended to his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes since the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

25

And it was when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”

26

So he said, “My lord the king, my servant betrayed me; for your servant said, ‘I will saddle the donkey for myself so that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ since your servant cannot walk.

27

Furthermore, he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is like the angel of God, therefore do what is good in your sight.

28

For all my father’s household was only people worthy of death to my lord the king; yet you placed your servant among those who ate at your own table. So what right do I still have, that I should complain anymore to the king?”

29

So the king said to him, “Why do you still speak of your affairs? I have decided, ‘You and Ziba shall divide the land.’”

30

And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let him even take it all, since my lord the king has come safely to his own house.”

31

Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king to escort him over the Jordan.

32

Barzillai was very old: eighty years old; and he had provided the king food while he stayed in Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.

33

So the king said to Barzillai, “You cross over with me, and I will provide you food in Jerusalem with me.”

34

But Barzillai said to the king, “How long do I still have to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35

I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singing? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

36

Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. So why should the king compensate me with this reward?

37

Please let your servant return, so that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. However, here is your servant Chimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”

38

And the king answered, “Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your sight; and whatever you require of me, I will do for you.”

39

All the people crossed over the Jordan and the king crossed too. The king then kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his place.

24

사울의 손자 므비보셋이 내려와 왕을 맞으니 그는 왕이 떠난 날부터 평안히 돌아오는 날까지 그의 발을 맵시 내지 아니하며 그의 수염을 깎지 아니하며 옷을 빨지 아니하였더라

24

Then Mephibosheth the grandson of Saul came down to meet the king; but he had neither tended to his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes since the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

25

예루살렘에서 와서 왕을 맞을 때에 왕이 그에게 물어 이르되 므비보셋이여 네가 어찌하여 나와 함께 가지 아니하였더냐 하니

25

And it was when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”

26

대답하되 내 주 왕이여 왕의 종인 나는 다리를 절므로 내 나귀에 안장을 지워 그 위에 타고 왕과 함께 가려 하였더니 내 종이 나를 속이고

26

So he said, “My lord the king, my servant betrayed me; for your servant said, ‘I will saddle the donkey for myself so that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ since your servant cannot walk.

27

종인 나를 내 주 왕께 모함하였나이다 내 주 왕께서는 하나님의 사자와 같으시니 왕의 처분대로 하옵소서

27

Furthermore, he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is like the angel of God, therefore do what is good in your sight.

28

내 아버지의 온 집이 내 주 왕 앞에서는 다만 죽을 사람이 되지 아니하였나이까 그러나 종을 왕의 상에서 음식 먹는 자 가운데에 두셨사오니 내게 아직 무슨 공의가 있어서 다시 왕께 부르짖을 수 있사오리이까 하니라

28

For all my father’s household was only people worthy of death to my lord the king; yet you placed your servant among those who ate at your own table. So what right do I still have, that I should complain anymore to the king?”

29

왕이 그에게 이르되 네가 어찌하여 또 네 일을 말하느냐 내가 이르노니 너는 시바와 밭을 나누라 하니

29

So the king said to him, “Why do you still speak of your affairs? I have decided, ‘You and Ziba shall divide the land.’”

30

므비보셋이 왕께 아뢰되 내 주 왕께서 평안히 왕궁에 돌아오시게 되었으니 그로 그 전부를 차지하게 하옵소서 하니라

30

And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let him even take it all, since my lord the king has come safely to his own house.”

31

길르앗 사람 바르실래가 왕이 요단을 건너가게 하려고 로글림에서 내려와 함께 요단에 이르니

31

Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king to escort him over the Jordan.

32

바르실래는 매우 늙어 나이가 팔십 세라 그는 큰 부자이므로 왕이 마하나임에 머물 때에 그가 왕을 공궤하였더라

32

Barzillai was very old: eighty years old; and he had provided the king food while he stayed in Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.

33

왕이 바르실래에게 이르되 너는 나와 함께 건너가자 예루살렘에서 내가 너를 공궤하리라

33

So the king said to Barzillai, “You cross over with me, and I will provide you food in Jerusalem with me.”

34

바르실래가 왕께 아뢰되 내 생명의 날이 얼마나 있사옵겠기에 어찌 왕과 함께 예루살렘으로 올라가리이까

34

But Barzillai said to the king, “How long do I still have to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35

내 나이가 이제 팔십 세라 어떻게 좋고 흉한 것을 분간할 수 있사오며 음식의 맛을 알 수 있사오리이까 이 종이 어떻게 다시 노래하는 남자나 여인의 소리를 알아들을 수 있사오리이까 어찌하여 종이 내 주 왕께 아직도 누를 끼치리이까

35

I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singing? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

36

당신의 종은 왕을 모시고 요단을 건너려는 것뿐이거늘 왕께서 어찌하여 이같은 상으로 내게 갚으려 하시나이까

36

Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. So why should the king compensate me with this reward?

37

청하건대 당신의 종을 돌려보내옵소서 내가 내 고향 부모의 묘 곁에서 죽으려 하나이다 그러나 왕의 종 김함이 여기 있사오니 청하건대 그가 내 주 왕과 함께 건너가게 하시옵고 왕의 처분대로 그에게 베푸소서 하니라

37

Please let your servant return, so that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. However, here is your servant Chimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”

38

왕이 대답하되 김함이 나와 함께 건너가리니 나는 네가 좋아하는 대로 그에게 베풀겠고 또 네가 내게 구하는 것은 다 너를 위하여 시행하리라 하니라

38

And the king answered, “Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your sight; and whatever you require of me, I will do for you.”

39

백성이 다 요단을 건너매 왕도 건너가서 왕이 바르실래에게 입을 맞추고 그에게 복을 비니 그가 자기 곳으로 돌아가니라

39

All the people crossed over the Jordan and the king crossed too. The king then kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his place.
