Then the king answered and said to the woman, “Please do not hide anything from me that I am about to ask you.” And the woman said, “Let my lord the king please speak.”

So the king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman replied, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. Indeed, it was your servant Joab who commanded me, and it was he who put all these words in the mouth of your servant.

In order to change the appearance of things your servant Joab has done this thing. But my lord is wise, like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know all that is on the earth.”

Then the king said to Joab, “Behold now, I will certainly do this thing; go then, bring back the young man Absalom.”

And Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself, and blessed the king; then Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord the king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”

So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

However, the king said, “He shall return to his own house, but he shall not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house and did not see the king’s face.

왕이 그 여인에게 대답하여 이르되 바라노니 내가 네게 묻는 것을 내게 숨기지 말라 여인이 이르되 내 주 왕은 말씀하옵소서

Then the king answered and said to the woman, “Please do not hide anything from me that I am about to ask you.” And the woman said, “Let my lord the king please speak.”

왕이 이르되 이 모든 일에 요압이 너와 함께 하였느냐 하니 여인이 대답하여 이르되 내 주 왕의 살아 계심을 두고 맹세하옵나니 내 주 왕의 말씀을 좌로나 우로나 옮길 자가 없으리이다 왕의 종 요압이 내게 명령하였고 그가 이 모든 말을 왕의 여종의 입에 넣어 주었사오니

So the king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman replied, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. Indeed, it was your servant Joab who commanded me, and it was he who put all these words in the mouth of your servant.

이는 왕의 종 요압이 이 일의 형편을 바꾸려 하여 이렇게 함이니이다 내 주 왕의 지혜는 하나님의 사자의 지혜와 같아서 땅에 있는 일을 다 아시나이다 하니라

In order to change the appearance of things your servant Joab has done this thing. But my lord is wise, like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know all that is on the earth.”

왕이 요압에게 이르되 내가 이 일을 허락하였으니 가서 청년 압살롬을 데려오라 하니라

Then the king said to Joab, “Behold now, I will certainly do this thing; go then, bring back the young man Absalom.”

요압이 땅에 엎드려 절하고 왕을 위하여 복을 빌고 요압이 이르되 내 주 왕이여 종의 구함을 왕이 허락하시니 종이 왕 앞에서 은혜 입은 줄을 오늘 아나이다 하고

And Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself, and blessed the king; then Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord the king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”

요압이 일어나 그술로 가서 압살롬을 데리고 예루살렘으로 오니

So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

왕이 이르되 그를 그의 집으로 물러가게 하여 내 얼굴을 볼 수 없게 하라 하매 압살롬이 자기 집으로 돌아가고 왕의 얼굴을 보지 못하니라

However, the king said, “He shall return to his own house, but he shall not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house and did not see the king’s face.
