Then Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, “All is well.” And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, “Blessed is the Lord your God, who has turned over the men who raised their hands against my lord the king.”

But the king said, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent the king’s servant, and your servant, I saw a great commotion, but I did not know what it was.”

Then the king said, “Turn aside and stand here.” So he turned aside and stood still.

Then behold, the Cushite arrived, and the Cushite said, “Let my lord the king receive good news, for the Lord has freed you this day from the hand of all those who rose up against you.”

Then the king said to the Cushite, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And the Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you for evil, be like that young man!”

Then the king trembled and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And this is what he said as he walked: “My son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!”

아히마아스가 외쳐 왕께 아뢰되 평강하옵소서 하고 왕 앞에서 얼굴을 땅에 대고 절하며 이르되 왕의 하나님 여호와를 찬양하리로소이다 그의 손을 들어 내 주 왕을 대적하는 자들을 넘겨 주셨나이다 하니

Then Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, “All is well.” And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, “Blessed is the Lord your God, who has turned over the men who raised their hands against my lord the king.”

왕이 이르되 젊은 압살롬은 잘 있느냐 하니라 아히마아스가 대답하되 요압이 왕의 종 나를 보낼 때에 크게 소동하는 것을 보았사오나 무슨 일인지 알지 못하였나이다 하니

But the king said, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent the king’s servant, and your servant, I saw a great commotion, but I did not know what it was.”

왕이 이르되 물러나 거기 서 있으라 하매 물러나서 서 있더라

Then the king said, “Turn aside and stand here.” So he turned aside and stood still.

구스 사람이 이르러 말하되 내 주 왕께 아뢸 소식이 있나이다 여호와께서 오늘 왕을 대적하던 모든 원수를 갚으셨나이다 하니

Then behold, the Cushite arrived, and the Cushite said, “Let my lord the king receive good news, for the Lord has freed you this day from the hand of all those who rose up against you.”

왕이 구스 사람에게 묻되 젊은 압살롬은 잘 있느냐 구스 사람이 대답하되 내 주 왕의 원수와 일어나서 왕을 대적하는 자들은 다 그 청년과 같이 되기를 원하나이다 하니

Then the king said to the Cushite, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And the Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you for evil, be like that young man!”

왕의 마음이 심히 아파 문 위층으로 올라가서 우니라 그가 올라갈 때에 말하기를 내 아들 압살롬아 내 아들 내 아들 압살롬아 차라리 내가 너를 대신하여 죽었더면, 압살롬 내 아들아 내 아들아 하였더라

Then the king trembled and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And this is what he said as he walked: “My son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!”
