신실하지 못한 예루살렘
1여호와께서 나에게 말씀하셨다.
2“사람의 아들아, 너는 예루살렘이 행한 더러운 일을 그에게 알리고 나 주 여호와가 이렇게 말한다고 일러 주어라:
3너는 가나안 태생으로 네 아버지는 아모리 사람이며 네 어머니는 헷 사람이다.
4네가 태어날 때 아무도 네 탯줄을 잘라 주지 않았고 너를 물로 씻어 깨끗하게 하지도 않았으며 소금으로 너를 문지르거나 천으로 감싸 주지도 않았다.
5너를 불쌍히 여겨 이런 일로 너에게 동정을 베푼 자가 없었으므로 네가 태어나던 날에 멸시를 받고 들에 버림을 당하였다.
6“그때 내가 지나가다가 피투성이가 된 채 네가 발버둥이치는 것을 보고 피투성이 속에 있는 너를 살려 주었다.
7내가 너를 들의 풀처럼 자라게 하였더니 네가 크게 성장하여 가장 아름다운 보석처럼 되었으며 네 유방이 잘 발달되고 머리가 길게 자랐으나 너는 여전히 벌거벗은 채로 있었다.
8그때 내가 지나가다가 네가 사랑을 속삭일 때가 된 것을 보고 내 옷으로 너를 덮어 네 벗은 몸을 가리고 너를 사랑할 것을 약속하며 너와 혼인 계약을 맺었다. 그래서 네가 나의 것이 되었다.
9“내가 물을 가져다가 네 피를 씻어내고 너에게 기름을 바르며
10수놓은 옷을 입히고 가죽신을 신기며 고운 모시로 너를 싸고 명주로 덮어 주었다.
11또 내가 보석으로 너를 꾸미고 팔찌를 끼우며 목걸이를 달아 주고
12코고리를 끼우며 귀고리를 달아 주고 아름다운 면류관을 네 머리에 씌웠다.
13이처럼 네가 금과 은으로 장식하며 고운 모시와 명주와 수놓은 옷을 입고 또 고운 밀가루 음식과 꿀과 기름을 먹고 아주 아름다워져서 여왕의 자리에까지 오르게 되었다.
14너의 아름다움으로 너의 명성이 온 세계에 퍼졌으니 이것은 내가 너에게 준 화려함이 네 아름다움을 완벽하게 하였기 때문이다. 이것은 나 주 여호와의 말이다.
15“그러나 네가 네 아름다움을 믿고 명성을 이용하여 창녀짓을 하며 지나가는 자들과 음행하였다.
16네가 네 옷을 가져다가 산당을 화려하게 꾸미고 거기서 창녀짓을 하였으니 이것은 전에도 없었고 앞으로도 없을 일이다.
17너는 또 내가 너에게 준 금은 보석으로 남자 우상들을 만들어 그들과 음행하고
18내가 너에게 준 수놓은 옷을 그들에게 입히며 나의 기름과 향을 그 우상들 앞에 바치고
19또 내가 먹으라고 너에게 준 음식, 곧 고운 밀가루와 기름과 꿀을 네가 우상들에게 향기로운 제물로 드렸으니 이것은 사실이다.
20“또 너는 나에게서 낳은 네 자녀들을 우상에게 제물로 바쳤다. 네가 창녀짓을 하고서도 부족하여
21나의 자녀들을 우상에게 제물로 바쳤느냐?
22네가 벌거벗은 몸으로 피투성이가 된 채 발버둥이치던 너의 어릴 때 일을 기억하지 않고 더러운 일과 음란한 짓을 하였다.
23“나 여호와가 말한다. 너에게 화가 있을 것이다. 너는 그 모든 악을 행하고서도
24너를 위해 우상의 신전을 짓고 모든 광장에 사당을 세웠다.
25네가 길목마다 높은 사당을 세워 아름다움을 헌신짝처럼 내동댕이치고 지나가는 모든 자에게 몸을 바쳐 아주 난잡하게 음행하였다.
26또 너는 너의 음란한 이웃인 이집트 사람들과 음행하여 나의 분노를 일으켰다.
27그러므로 내가 손으로 너를 쳐서 16:27 또는 ‘네 일용 양식을 감하고’네 영토를 줄이고 너를 미워하여 너의 더러운 행위를 역겹게 생각하는 블레셋 사람들에게 너를 넘겨 주었다.
28네가 음욕이 차지 않아서 앗시리아 사람들과도 음행하고 그것도 부족하여
29상업의 나라 바빌로니아 사람들과도 음행하였으나 너는 만족을 얻지 못하였다.
30“나 주 여호와가 말한다. 네가 뻔뻔스러운 창녀처럼 이 모든 일을 행하니 네가 정말 타락하였구나.
31네가 모든 길목에 신전을 짓고 모든 광장에 높은 사당을 세우고서도 돈을 싫어하는 것을 보면 창녀 같지도 않다.
32“너는 사랑하는 남편을 두고 낯선 사람과 간음하는 음란한 아내이다.
33보통 창녀는 화대를 받는데 너는 너의 모든 연인들에게 선물을 주고 뇌물까지 주어 사방에서 너에게 몰려들어 너와 음행하게 하였다.
34그러므로 너는 다른 창녀와는 다르다. 너를 따라다니면서 음행하자고 치근거리는 자는 아무도 없다. 그리고 너는 화대를 받는 것이 아니라 오히려 주기 때문에 다른 창녀와 같지 않다.
35“그러므로 너 창녀야, 나 여호와의 말을 들어라.
36나 주 여호와가 말한다. 너는 네 정욕을 쏟고 네 연인과 음행함으로 네 나체를 드러내고 또 더러운 우상을 섬기며 네 자녀의 피를 그 우상에게 바쳤다.
37그래서 네가 정을 주고받던 연인들과 네가 사랑하고 미워하던 모든 자들을 내가 사방에서 불러모아 그들 앞에서 너를 벌거벗겨 그들이 네 나체를 다 보게 할 것이다.
38간음하고 살인한 여인이 심문을 받는 것처럼 내가 너를 심문하고 분노와 질투로 너에게 피의 보복을 하겠다.
39내가 너를 그들의 손에 넘겨줄 것이니 그들이 너의 신전과 높은 산당을 헐고 네 옷을 벗기며 패물을 빼앗고 너를 벌거벗긴 채 내버려 둘 것이다.
40또 그들은 군중을 선동할 것이며 군중들은 너를 돌로 치고 칼로 난도질하며
41너의 집에 불을 지르고 많은 여자들이 보는 앞에서 너를 벌할 것이다. 내가 너에게 창녀짓을 못하게 하겠다. 네가 다시는 연인들에게 화대를 주지 못할 것이다.
42그러면 너에 대한 내 분노가 그치며 나의 질투심이 네게서 떠나고 내 마음이 안정되어 다시는 노하지 않을 것이다.
43“네가 어렸을 때를 기억하지 않고 이 모든 일로 내 분노를 일으켰으므로 네가 행한 대로 내가 너에게 갚아 주겠다. 네가 어째서 너의 모든 더러운 일에 음행까지 더하였느냐?
44“사람들이 너 예루살렘에 대하여 ‘그 어미에 그 딸’ 이란 속담을 인용하여 말할 것이다.
45너는 남편과 자녀를 싫어한 어머니의 딸이며 그 남편과 자녀를 싫어한 언니의 동생이다. 너의 어머니는 헷 사람이요 너의 아버지는 아모리 사람이며
46네 언니는 딸들을 거느리고 북쪽에 살고 있는 사마리아요 네 동생은 딸들과 함께 남쪽에 살고 있는 소돔이다.
47너는 그들을 본받아 그들이 행한 것과 같은 더러운 일을 행하였을 뿐만 아니라 오히려 너의 행위는 그들보다 더 부패하였다.
48살아 있는 나 주 여호와가 말하지만 네 동생 소돔과 그 딸들도 너와 네 딸들이 행한 것 같은 짓은 하지 않았다.
49“네 동생 소돔이 범한 죄는 그와 그 딸들이 먹을 것이 많고 아무 걱정 없이 태평 세월을 누리게 되자 그들의 마음이 교만하여 가난하고 불쌍한 자를 도와주지 않은 것과
50거만하여 내 앞에서 더러운 일을 행한 것이다. 그래서 너도 보았지만 내가 그들을 없애 버렸다.
51사마리아는 네가 범한 죄의 절반도 행하지 않았다. 네가 그보다 더 더러운 짓을 하였으므로 네가 행한 그 모든 더러운 일에 비할 때 너의 언니와 동생이 오히려 의로운 것처럼 보인다.
52네가 네 언니와 동생을 좋게 판단하도록 하였으니 너는 네 수치를 감당해야 한다. 네 죄가 그들보다 더 악하므로 그들이 너보다 의롭게 보인다. 네가 네 언니와 동생을 의롭게 보이도록 하였으므로 너는 부끄러움을 느끼고 네 수치를 감당하라.
53“그러나 내가 소돔과 그 딸들과 사마리아와 그 딸들을 회복시키고 너도 그들과 함께 회복시키겠다.
54너는 네가 행한 모든 일에 대해서 부끄러움을 느낄 것이며 네가 당하는 수치가 그들에게 위로가 될 것이다.
55너의 자매인 소돔과 그 딸들과 사마리아와 그 딸들이 이전 상태로 되돌아갈 것이며 너와 네 딸들도 이전 상태로 되돌아갈 것이다.
56너는 교만하던 날에 네 동생 소돔을 언급조차 하지 않았다.
57그 때는 네 악이 드러나기 전이었다. 이제 너는 16:57 원문에는 ‘아람’에돔의 딸들과 블레셋 사람의 딸들과 네 주변에 있는 자들에게 멸시를 당하고 있다.
58너는 네가 행한 음란과 더러운 일에 대해서 그 대가를 치러야 할 것이다.
59“나 주 여호와가 말한다. 네가 약속을 무시하고 계약을 깨뜨렸으므로 네가 행한 것만큼 내가 너에게 갚아 주겠다.
60그러나 네가 어렸을 때 내가 너와 맺은 계약을 기억하고 너와 영원한 계약을 세우겠다.
61네가 네 자매인 사마리아와 소돔을 맞아들이게 될 때 네 행위를 기억하고 부끄러움을 느낄 것이다. 내가 그들을 너에게 딸로 줄 것이나 너와 세운 계약 때문은 아니다.
62내가 너와 새로운 계약을 세울 것이니 네가 나를 여호와인 줄 알 것이다.
63네가 행한 모든 일을 내가 용서할 때에 너는 그 일을 기억하고 부끄러워서 다시는 네 입을 열지 못할 것이다. 이것은 나 주 여호와의 말이다.”
Jerusalem Is Like an Unfaithful Wife
1A message from the Lord came to me. The Lord said, 2“Son of man, tell the people of Jerusalem the evil things they have done. I hate those things. 3Tell them, ‘The Lord and King speaks to Jerusalem. He says, “Your history in the land of Canaan goes back a long way. Your father was an Amorite. Your mother was a Hittite. 4On the day you were born your cord was not cut. You were not washed with water to clean you up. You were not rubbed with salt. And you were not wrapped in large strips of cloth. 5No one took pity on you. No one was concerned enough to do any of these things for you. Instead, you were thrown out into an open field. You were hated on the day you were born.
6“ ‘ “I was passing by. I saw you kicking around in your blood. As you were lying there, I said to you, ‘Live!’ 7I made you grow like a plant in a field. Soon you had grown up. You became a young adult. Your breasts had formed. Your hair had grown. But you were completely naked.
8“ ‘ “Later, I was passing by again. I looked at you. I saw that you were old enough for love. So I married you and took good care of you. I covered your naked body. I made a firm promise to you. I entered into a covenant with you. And you became mine,” announces the Lord and King.
9“ ‘ “I bathed you with water. I washed the blood off you. And I put lotions on you. 10I put a beautiful dress on you. I gave you sandals made out of fine leather. I dressed you in fine linen. I covered you with expensive clothes. 11I decorated you with jewelry. I put bracelets on your arms. I gave you a necklace for your neck. 12I put rings on your nose and ears. And I gave you a beautiful crown for your head. 13So you were decorated with gold and silver. Your clothes were made out of fine linen. They were made out of expensive and beautiful cloth. Your food was made out of honey, olive oil and the finest flour. You became very beautiful. You became a queen. 14You were so beautiful that your fame spread among the nations. The glory I had given you made your beauty perfect,” announces the Lord and King.
15“ ‘ “But you trusted in your beauty. You used your fame to become a prostitute. You offered your body freely to anyone who passed by. In fact, you gave yourself to anyone who wanted you. 16You used some of your clothes to make high places colorful. That is where people worshiped other gods. You were a prostitute there. You went to your lover and he took your beauty. 17I had given you fine jewelry. It was made out of gold and silver. You used it to make for yourself statues of male gods. You worshiped those gods. You were not faithful to me. 18You put your beautiful clothes on them. You offered my oil and incense to them. 19You also offered them food. It was made out of olive oil, honey and the finest flour. I had given it to you to eat. You offered it as sweet-smelling incense to them. That is what you did,” announces the Lord and King.
20“ ‘ “Then you took your sons and daughters who belonged to me. And you sacrificed them as food to other gods. Wasn’t it enough for you to be a prostitute? 21You killed my children. You sacrificed them to other gods. 22You did not remember the days when you were young. At that time you were completely naked. You were kicking around in your blood. But now you have done evil things. I hate them. You have worshiped other gods. You have not been faithful to me.
23“ ‘ “How terrible it will be for you!” announces the Lord and King. “How terrible for you! You continued to sin against me. 24Your people built up mounds for themselves in every market. They put little places of worship on them. 25They set them up at every street corner. Jerusalem, you misused your beauty. You offered your body to anyone who passed by. You did it again and again. 26You committed shameful acts with the people of Egypt. They were your neighbors who were ready to have sex with you. You offered yourself to them again and again. That made me very angry. 27So I reached out my powerful hand against you. I made your territory smaller. I handed you over to your Philistine enemies. The people in their towns were shocked by your impure conduct. 28You also committed shameful acts with the people of Assyria. Nothing ever seemed to satisfy you. You could never get enough. 29Then you offered yourself to the people of Babylon. But that did not satisfy you either. There are many traders in the land of Babylon.
30“ ‘ “I am filled with great anger against you,” announces the Lord and King. “Just look at all the things you are doing! You are acting like a prostitute who has no shame at all. 31Your people built up mounds at every street corner. You put little places of worship on them in every market. But you did not really act like a prostitute. That’s because you refused to let your lovers pay you anything.
32“ ‘ “You unfaithful wife! You would rather be with strangers than with your own husband! 33Every prostitute receives gifts. Instead, you give gifts to all your lovers. You offer them money to come to you from everywhere. You want them to sleep with you. You are not faithful to me. 34As a prostitute, you are the opposite of others. No one runs after you to sleep with you. You are exactly the opposite. You pay them. They do not pay you.” ’ ”
35You prostitute, listen to the Lord’s message. 36The Lord and King says, “You poured out your desire on your lovers. You took off your clothing and slept with them. You did it again and again. You worshiped other gods. I hate them. You even sacrificed your children to them. 37So I am going to gather together all the lovers you found pleasure with. They include those you loved and those you hated. I will gather them against you from everywhere. I will take your clothes off right in front of them. Then they will see you completely naked. 38I will hand down my sentence against you. You will be punished like women who commit adultery and sacrifice their children to other gods. I am so angry with you. So I will sentence you to death for everything you have done. 39Then I will hand you over to your lovers. They will tear down those mounds you built. They will destroy the little places of worship you put on them. They will take your clothes off. They will remove your fine jewelry. And they will leave you completely naked. 40They will bring a crowd against you. The crowd will put you to death by throwing stones at you. And they will chop you to pieces with their swords. 41They will burn down your houses and punish you. Many women will see it. I will not let you be a prostitute anymore. You will no longer pay your lovers. 42Then my great anger against you will die down. My jealous anger will turn away from you. I will be calm. I will not be angry anymore.
43“You did not remember the days when you were young. The things you did made me very angry. So anything that happens to you will be your own fault,” announces the Lord and King. “You added impure conduct to all the other evil things you did. I hate all those things.
44“All those who use proverbs will use this one about you. They will say, ‘Like mother, like daughter.’ 45You are a true daughter of your mother. She hated her husband and children. And you are a true sister of your sisters. They hated their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite. Your father was an Amorite. 46Your older sister was Samaria. She lived north of you with her daughters. Your younger sister was Sodom. She lived south of you with her daughters. 47You lived exactly the way they did. You copied their evil practices. I hate those practices. Everything you did was so sinful that you soon became even worse than they were. 48Your sister Sodom and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done. And that is just as sure as I am alive,” announces the Lord and King.
49“Here is the sin your sister Sodom committed. She and her daughters were proud. They ate too much. They were not concerned about others. They did not help those who were poor and in need. 50They were very proud. They did many things that were evil in my eyes. I hated those things. So I got rid of Sodom and her daughters, just as you have seen. 51Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You sinned even more than they did. I hate those sins. Compared to what you did, you made your sisters seem godly. 52So you will be dishonored. You have given your sisters an excuse for what they did. Your sins were far worse than theirs. In fact, your sisters appear to be more godly than you. So then, be ashamed. You will be dishonored. You have made them appear to be godly.
53“I will not only give you back what you had before. I will also do the same thing for Sodom and her daughters. And I will do the same for Samaria and her daughters. 54That will make you feel dishonored. You will be ashamed of everything you have done. You have made them feel better because you sinned more and were punished more than they were. 55Your sisters Sodom and Samaria and their daughters will return to what they were before. And you and your daughters will return to what you were before. 56In the past you would not even mention your sister Sodom. You were proud at that time. 57That was before your sin was uncovered. Now the daughters of Edom make fun of you. So do all her neighbors and the daughters of the Philistines. Everyone who lives around you hates you. 58You will be punished for your impure conduct. I will also punish you for the other evil things you have done. I hate all those things,” announces the Lord.
59The Lord and King says, “I will punish you in keeping with what you have done. I sealed with a promise the covenant I made with you. You hated that promise. And you broke my covenant. 60But I will remember my covenant with you. I made it with you when you were young. Now I will make a new covenant with you. It will last forever. 61Then you will remember how you have lived. You will be ashamed when I give you Samaria and Sodom. Samaria is your older sister. Sodom is your younger one. I will give them and their daughters to you as daughters. That can’t happen based on my old covenant with you. 62So I will make my new covenant with you. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 63I will pay for all the sins you have committed. Then you will remember what you have done. You will be ashamed of it. Because of your shame, you will never speak against me again,” announces the Lord and King.
