As David’s time to die drew near, he commanded his son Solomon, saying,

“I am going the way of all the earth. So be strong, and prove yourself a man.

Do your duty to the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to what is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn,

so that the Lord may fulfill His promise which He spoke regarding me, saying, ‘If your sons are careful about their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and all their soul, you shall not be deprived of a man to occupy the throne of Israel.’

Now you yourself also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt that was on his waist, and on his sandals that were on his feet.

So act as your wisdom dictates, and do not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace.

However, show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for they assisted me when I fled from Absalom your brother.

And behold, you have with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjaminite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a painful curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’

But now do not leave him unpunished, for you are a wise man; and you will know what to do to him, and you will bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood.”

다윗이 죽을 날이 임박하매 그의 아들 솔로몬에게 명령하여 이르되

As David’s time to die drew near, he commanded his son Solomon, saying,

내가 이제 세상 모든 사람이 가는 길로 가게 되었노니 너는 힘써 대장부가 되고

“I am going the way of all the earth. So be strong, and prove yourself a man.

네 하나님 여호와의 명령을 지켜 그 길로 행하여 그 법률과 계명과 율례와 증거를 모세의 율법에 기록된 대로 지키라 그리하면 네가 무엇을 하든지 어디로 가든지 형통할지라

Do your duty to the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to what is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn,

여호와께서 내 일에 대하여 말씀하시기를 만일 네 자손들이 그들의 길을 삼가 마음을 다하고 성품을 다하여 진실히 내 앞에서 행하면 이스라엘 왕위에 오를 사람이 네게서 끊어지지 아니하리라 하신 말씀을 확실히 이루게 하시리라

so that the Lord may fulfill His promise which He spoke regarding me, saying, ‘If your sons are careful about their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and all their soul, you shall not be deprived of a man to occupy the throne of Israel.’

스루야의 아들 요압이 내게 행한 일 곧 이스라엘 군대의 두 사령관 넬의 아들 아브넬과 예델의 아들 아마사에게 행한 일을 네가 알거니와 그가 그들을 죽여 태평 시대에 전쟁의 피를 흘리고 전쟁의 피를 자기의 허리에 띤 띠와 발에 신은 신에 묻혔으니

Now you yourself also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt that was on his waist, and on his sandals that were on his feet.

네 지혜대로 행하여 그의 백발이 평안히 스올에 내려가지 못하게 하라

So act as your wisdom dictates, and do not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace.

마땅히 길르앗 바르실래의 아들들에게 은총을 베풀어 그들이 네 상에서 먹는 자 중에 참여하게 하라 내가 네 형 압살롬의 낯을 피하여 도망할 때에 그들이 내게 나왔느니라

However, show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for they assisted me when I fled from Absalom your brother.

바후림 베냐민 사람 게라의 아들 시므이가 너와 함께 있나니 그는 내가 마하나임으로 갈 때에 악독한 말로 나를 저주하였느니라 그러나 그가 요단에 내려와서 나를 영접하므로 내가 여호와를 두고 맹세하여 이르기를 내가 칼로 너를 죽이지 아니하리라 하였노라

And behold, you have with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjaminite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a painful curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’

그러나 그를 무죄한 자로 여기지 말지어다 너는 지혜 있는 사람이므로 그에게 행할 일을 알지니 그의 백발이 피 가운데 스올에 내려가게 하라

But now do not leave him unpunished, for you are a wise man; and you will know what to do to him, and you will bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood.”
