7 Behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and they say, ‘ Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also.’ Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and would leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.”And, behold, the whole family is risen against thy handmaid, and they say, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew, and so destroy the heir also. Thus will they quench my coal which is left, and will leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth.그런데 보십시오, 온 집안이 당신의 종에게 일어나 말하기를 '제 형제를 친 자를 내놓아라. 그가 죽인 형제의 목숨값으로 우리가 그를 죽이고, 상속자까지 없애겠다'고 합니다. 이렇게 하여 그들은 제게 남은 마지막 숯불을 꺼버리고, 제 남편의 이름도 후손도 땅 위에 남기지 않으려 합니다."
8 The king said to the woman, “ Go to your house, and I will give a command concerning you.”And the king said unto the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.왕이 그 여인에게 말했다. "네 집으로 돌아가라. 내가 너를 위해 명령을 내리겠다."

13 The woman said, “ Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring home again his banished one.And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one that is guilty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished one.그 여인이 말했다. "그렇다면 어찌하여 왕께서는 하나님의 백성을 거슬러 이런 일을 꾀하셨습니까? 이렇게 말씀하시는 것으로 보아, 왕께서 쫓겨난 자를 다시 집으로 데려오지 않으시니 왕 자신이 죄 있는 자와 같습니다.
14 For we must die, and are like water spilled on the ground, which can’t be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God take away life, but deviseth means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from him.우리는 반드시 죽어야 하며, 땅에 쏟아진 물처럼 다시 거두어 담을 수 없습니다. 그러나 하나님은 생명을 빼앗으려 하지 않으시고, 오히려 쫓겨난 자가 영영 버림받지 않도록 방법을 마련하십니다.

Your servant said, ‘ I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.’Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.이제 제가 내 주 왕께 이 말씀을 드리러 온 것은 백성이 저를 두렵게 했기 때문입니다. 당신의 종이 생각하기를 '내가 왕께 말씀드려 보리라. 왕께서 이 종의 청을 들어주실지도 모른다' 하였습니다.
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.왕께서 들으시고, 저와 제 아들을 하나님의 기업에서 함께 끊어내려는 자의 손에서 이 종을 건져 주시리라 여겼습니다.
17 Then your servant said, ‘ Please let the word of my lord the king bring rest; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. May Yahweh, your God, be with you.’”Then thy handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and Jehovah thy God be with thee.그래서 당신의 종이 생각하기를 '내 주 왕의 말씀이 저를 편히 쉬게 하시리라. 내 주 왕은 마치 하나님의 천사처럼 선과 악을 분별하시는 분이시다. 왕의 하나님 여호와께서 왕과 함께하시기를 빕니다' 하였습니다."

And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid;왕이 말했다. "이 모든 일에 요압의 손이 너와 함께 있느냐?" 여인이 대답했다. "내 주 왕이여, 당신의 목숨이 살아 계심을 두고 맹세합니다. 내 주 왕께서 말씀하신 것에서 누구도 오른쪽으로나 왼쪽으로 벗어날 수 없습니다. 참으로 당신의 종 요압이 제게 시켰고, 그가 이 모든 말을 당신의 종의 입에 넣어 주었습니다.
20 Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.”to change the face of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.이 일의 모양을 바꾸려고 당신의 종 요압이 이렇게 한 것입니다. 그러나 내 주는 하나님의 천사의 지혜처럼 지혜로우시어 땅 위의 모든 일을 아십니다."

Joab said, “ Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king; and Joab said, To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found favor in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed the request of his servant.요압이 얼굴을 땅에 대고 엎드려 절하며 왕을 송축하였다. 요압이 말했다. "내 주 왕이여, 왕께서 이 종의 청을 들어주셨으니, 오늘 당신의 종이 왕의 눈에 은혜를 입은 줄을 알았습니다."

So Absalom turned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face.왕이 말했다. "그를 자기 집으로 돌아가게 하라. 그러나 내 얼굴은 보지 못하게 하라." 그래서 압살롬은 자기 집으로 돌아갔고, 왕의 얼굴을 보지 못했다.
25 Now in all Israel there was no one to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty. From the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no defect in him.Now in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.온 이스라엘 가운데 압살롬만큼 아름답다고 크게 칭찬받는 자가 없었다. 발바닥부터 정수리까지 그에게는 흠이 하나도 없었다.
26 When he cut the hair of his head ( now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it ), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight.And when he cut the hair of his head ( now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it ); he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight.그는 머리카락을 잘랐는데(해마다 한 번씩 잘랐으니, 머리카락이 무거워졌기 때문에 잘랐다), 자기 머리카락을 달아 보니 왕의 저울로 이백 세겔이나 되었다.

32 Absalom answered Joab, “ Behold, I sent to you, saying, ‘ Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, “ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”’”And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still.

"보시오, 내가 당신에게 사람을 보내어 '이리 오시오. 내가 당신을 왕께 보내어 이렇게 여쭙게 하려 하오. 「내가 어찌하여 그술에서 돌아왔습니까? 차라리 거기에 그대로 있는 편이 나았을 것입니다. 그러니 이제 왕의 얼굴을 보게 하소서. 만일 내게 죄가 있다면 나를 죽이소서」'라고 하였소."
