Then the woman said, “Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” And he said, “Speak.”

The woman said, “Why then have you planned such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is like one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring back his banished one.

For we will surely die and are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up. Yet God does not take away life, but makes plans so that the banished one will not be cast out from Him.

Now then, the reason I have come to speak this word to my lord the king is that the people have made me afraid; so your servant said, ‘Let me now speak to the king, perhaps the king will perform the request of his slave.

For the king will listen, to save his slave from the hand of the man who would eliminate both me and my son from the inheritance of God.’

Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king be comforting, for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and evil. And may the Lord your God be with you.’”

여인이 이르되 청하건대 당신의 여종을 용납하여 한 말씀을 내 주 왕께 여쭙게 하옵소서 하니 그가 이르되 말하라 하니라

Then the woman said, “Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” And he said, “Speak.”

여인이 이르되 그러면 어찌하여 왕께서 하나님의 백성에게 대하여 이같은 생각을 하셨나이까 이 말씀을 하심으로 왕께서 죄 있는 사람 같이 되심은 그 내쫓긴 자를 왕께서 집으로 돌아오게 하지 아니하심이니이다

The woman said, “Why then have you planned such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is like one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring back his banished one.

우리는 필경 죽으리니 땅에 쏟아진 물을 다시 담지 못함 같을 것이오나 하나님은 생명을 빼앗지 아니하시고 방책을 베푸사 내쫓긴 자가 하나님께 버린 자가 되지 아니하게 하시나이다

For we will surely die and are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up. Yet God does not take away life, but makes plans so that the banished one will not be cast out from Him.

이제 내가 와서 내 주 왕께 이 말씀을 여쭙는 것은 백성들이 나를 두렵게 하므로 당신의 여종이 스스로 말하기를 내가 왕께 여쭈오면 혹시 종이 청하는 것을 왕께서 시행하실 것이라

Now then, the reason I have come to speak this word to my lord the king is that the people have made me afraid; so your servant said, ‘Let me now speak to the king, perhaps the king will perform the request of his slave.

왕께서 들으시고 나와 내 아들을 함께 하나님의 기업에서 끊을 자의 손으로부터 주의 종을 구원하시리라 함이니이다

For the king will listen, to save his slave from the hand of the man who would eliminate both me and my son from the inheritance of God.’

당신의 여종이 또 스스로 말하기를 내 주 왕의 말씀이 나의 위로가 되기를 원한다 하였사오니 이는 내 주 왕께서 하나님의 사자 같이 선과 악을 분간하심이니이다 원하건대 왕의 하나님 여호와께서 왕과 같이 계시옵소서

Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king be comforting, for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and evil. And may the Lord your God be with you.’”
