영어성경 문법해설 ( chapter 17 of Proverbs / 잠언 17장)

[hesmiles]

1 Better a dry crust with peace and quiet
than a house full of feasting, with strife.

2 A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son
and will share the inheritance as one of the family.

3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,
but the Lord tests the heart.

4 A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;
a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

5 Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker;
whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.

6 Children’s children are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children.

7 Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—
how much worse lying lips to a ruler!

8 A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it;
they think success will come at every turn.

9 Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

10 A rebuke impresses a discerning person
more than a hundred lashes a fool.

(1) full of ~

~ 로 꽉차있는

be full of 로 많이 쓰인다.

Those who are near and those who are far away will mock you,

you infamous city, full of turmoil.

(에스겔 / Ezekiel 22:5)

It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.

(John / 요한복음 21:11)

(4) listen to ~

~ 에 귀기울이다, 순종하다

 His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke,

for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death.

(사무엘상 / 1 Samuel 2:25)

~ 에 집중하다

If only you had paid attention to my commands,

your peace would have been like a river.

(이사야 / Isaiah 48:18)

~ 하면 좋을텐데

그 뒤에 가정법 법칙에 따라

주어 + 과거분사 ~ 주어 would (could, might, should) have 과거분사가 오면

If only I had died instead of you—O Absalom, my son, my son!.

(사무엘하 / 2 Samuel 18:33)

주절 없이 if only 만 쓸 때 감탄문이 된다.

(5) the poor, (6) the aged

the + 형용사 = 보통명사 복수

The upright are appalled at this; the innocent are aroused against the ungodly

(욥 / Job 17:8)

go unpunished (형용사)

go 가 bacome 이 되며 대개 그 뒤의 형용사는 바람직하지 않은 낱말일 때가 많다.

My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; my servants will drink,

but you will go thirsty; my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

(이사야 / Isaiah 65:13)

11 An evil man is bent only on rebellion against God;
a merciless official will will be sent against him.

12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than a fool bent on his folly.

13 If a man pays back evil for good
evil will never leave his house.

14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—
the Lord detests them both.

16 Of what use is money in the hand of a fool
since he has no desire to get wisdom?

17 A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

18 One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge
and puts up security for a neighbor.

19 Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.

20 One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;
one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.

21 To have a fool for a child brings grief;
there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.

22 A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

23 The wicked accept bribes in secret
to pervert the course of justice.

24 A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son brings grief to his father
and bitterness to the mother who bore him.

26 It is not good to punish an innocent man,
or to to flog officials for their integrity.

27 A man of  knowledge uses words with restraint,
and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.

28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,
and discerng if he holds his tongue.
