사사기에 사용된 šapaṭ 동사 우리말 번역 제안 - 사사 옷니엘을 중심으로 - = A Proposal for the Korean Translation of the Verb šapaṭ in Judges: Focused on Judge Othniel

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is to explore the possibility of newly translating what has currently been translated as “he became a judge of Israel” in Judges 3:10a. The verb šapaṭ is used in the stories of individual judges in the book of Judges. The noun šopeṭ in participle form has never been used for any of the judges. However, the Korean Bible translates as if there is a noun form in the sentence. We do not know the exact meaning of ‘becoming a judge’ according to the text in Judges. Therefore, we need to have a new translation for Judges 3:10a as well as for all other cases in Judges where the verb šapaṭ is used.
This study proposes that the plausible meaning ‘to rule’ needs to be applied to the verb šapaṭ, and indicates that ‘to judge’ is only one of many possible meanings of the verb šapaṭ.
Furthermore, other passages in the Hebrew Bible than Judges also support the proposed translation of ‘he ruled Israel’ instead of ‘he became a judge for Israel.’ 2 Kings 23:22, Ruth 1:1, and 1 Samuel 7:6, 15-17 show that the verb šapaṭ is already translated as ‘he ruled Israel’ in the Korean Bible. These examples suggest that the translation ‘he became a judge for Israel’ is done only in Judges and not elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible.
Not only in the case of Othniel, but also in all other cases of judges in the book of Judges, the translation of the verb šapaṭ should be coherent and reasonable. In order to convey the meaning of the verb šapaṭ and to identify the role of a judge as the ruler for the people of Israel (both as a commander in war and a civil administrator), the proposal for a new translation, ‘he ruled Israel as a judge’ is a promising candidate.
