제46용 迅命(신명)......명령을 빠르게 받듬......第53事 The 46th Application : prompt Obedience(迅命,신명)... Swiftlly Obeying Commands... the 53th Affair.
迅(신)은 빠른 것이며, 命(명)은 부모님의 명령이다. [ Sin(迅,신) means being swift, and Myeong(命,명) means the command of one′s parents.]
부모님의 명령이 있으면 자식은 받들어 움직여야 한다. [When there is acommand from the parents, the child must accept it and act upon it,]
그러나 부모님의 명령은 항상 자애로운 명령이므로 엄하게 엄격하게 시키시고 독촉을 하심이 자애로움이 아닌것 같다 하여 만약에 앞뒤를 서로 어긋나게 하고 느리고 급함이 적절하지 못하다면 비록 말로 표현하시지는 않는다 하여도 생각이 전 같지 않아지게 된다. [However, because parents′ commands always stem from parental love, if a child misunderstands their strict orders or constant urging as a lack of love ― thereby disrupting the proper order of things or failing to adjust their pace appropriately ― the parents′ mindset toward the child will change, even if they do not express it in words.]
큰 효도란 부모의 명령에 따르되 남김이 없게 한다. [Great filial piety means following the parents′ commands completely, leaving nothing undone.]
[Origlnal Text,원문]
迅은 速也요 命은 父母之命也라 (신은 속야요 명은 부모지명야라) [ Sin(迅,신) is speed(速,속), and Myeong(命,명) is the command of the parents(父母之命, 무모지명).]
父母有命이어시든 子必奉行이라 (부모유명이어시든 자필봉행이라) [ When parents issue a command, the child must reverently execute it.]
然이나 父母之命은 是慈愛之命故로 (연이나 부모지명은 시자애지명고로) [Howeve, since the commands of parents originate from parental love(慈愛,자애).]
嚴托督囑이 未有於慈愛之間이니 (엄탁독촉이 미유어자애지간이니) [Their strict entrustment and constant urging do not stray from the bounds of the love.]
若先後相左하여 緩急失當이면 (약선후상좌하여 완급실당이면) [If one confuses what comes first and last, or fails to balance speed and urgency properly.]
口雖不言이나 意思則新이라 (구수불언이나 의사즉신이라) [Though the parents may not say it aloud, their inner thoughts regarding the child will become altered.]
是以로 大孝는 隨命無遺니라. (시이로 대효는 수명무유니라.) [Therefore, great filial piety(大孝,대효) lies in following their commands without leaving anything unfulfilled.] |
