창3:1 그런데 뱀(the serpent)은 여호와 하나님이 지으신(had made) 들짐승(the wild animals) 중에 가장 간교하(crafty)니라 뱀이 여자에게 물어 이르되 하나님이 참으로(really) 너희에게 동산(the garden) 모든 나무의 열매를 먹지 말라 하시더냐

창3:2 여자가 뱀에게 말하되(The woman said to the serpent) 동산 나무의 열매를 우리가 먹을 수 있으나(We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden)

창3:3 동산 중앙에 있는 나무의 열매는 하나님의 말씀에 너희는 먹지(eat)도 말고 만지지(touch)도 말라 너희가 죽을까(you will die) 하노라 하셨느니라

창3:4 뱀이 여자에게 이르되(the serpent said to the woman) 너희가 결코 죽지 아니하리라(You will not surely die)

창3:5 너희가 그것을 먹는 날에는 너희 눈이 밝아져(your eyes will be opened) 하나님과 같이 되어(you will be like God) 선악을 알 줄(knowing good and evil) 하나님이 아심이니라(God knows)

창3:6 여자가 그 나무를 본즉 먹음직도(good for food) 하고 보암직도(pleasing to the eye) 하고 지혜롭게 할만큼 탐스럽기도한(desirable for gaining wisdom) 나무인지라 여자가 그 열매를 따먹고(she took some and ate it) 자기와 함께 있는(who was with her) 남편에게도 주매(She also gave some to her husband) 그도 먹은지라(he ate it)

창3:7 이에 그들의 눈이 밝아져(Then the eyes of both of them were opened) 자기들이 벗은 줄을 알고(they realized they were naked) 무화과나무 잎을 엮어 치마로 삼았더라(they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves)

창3:8 그들이 그 날 바람이 불 때(in the cool of the day) 동산에(in the garden) 거니시는(was walking) 여호와 하나님의 소리(the sound of the LORD God)를 듣고(heard) 아담과 그의 아내가(the man and his wife) 여호와 하나님의 낯을 피하여 동산 나무 사이에 숨은지라(they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden)

창3:9 여호와 하나님이 아담을 부르시며(the LORD God called to the man) 그에게 이르시되 네가 어디 있느냐(Where are you?)

창3:10 이르되(He answered) 내가 동산에서 하나님의 소리를 듣고(I heard you in the garden) 내가 벗었으므로 두려워하여(I was afraid because I was naked) 숨었나이다(so I hid)

10. 강 하나(a rive)가 에덴으로부터 나와서(flowed from Eden) 동산을 적시고(watering) 거기로부터(from there) 갈라져(was separated) 네 줄기 강의 원류가 됐습니다(became four rivers).

16. 여호와 하나님께서 아담에게 명령해 말씀하셨습니다(commanded the man). “너는 이 동산의 각종 나무의 열매를 마음대로 먹을 수 있다(you are free to eat from any tree in the garden).

17. 그러나 선과 악을 알게 하는 나무의 열매는 먹지 마라(but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil). 그것을 먹는 날에는(when you eat from it) 네가 반드시 죽을 것이다(you will surely die).”

18. 여호와 하나님께서 말씀하셨습니다(said). “사람이(the man) 혼자 있는 것(to be alone)이 좋지 않으니(not good) 내가 그에게 알맞은(suitable for him) 돕는 사람(helper)을 만들어 주겠다(will make).”

19. 그래서 여호와 하나님께서 흙으로(out of the ground) 온갖 들짐승들(all the beasts of teh field)과 공중의 온갖 새들(all the birds of the sky)을 다 빚으시고(formed) 그것들을 아담에게로 데려오셔서(brought them to the man) 그가 어떻게 이름을 짓는지(name them) 보셨습니다. 아담이 각 생물을 무엇이라 부르든지(whatever the man called each living creature) 그것이 그의 이름이 됐습니다(that was its name).

20. 아담이(the man) 모든 가축(cattle)과 공중의 새(the birds of the sky)와 모든 들짐승(every beast of the field)에게 이름을 지어 주었습니다(gave names). 그러나 아담은 자기에게 알맞은 돕는 사람(suitable helper)을 찾을 수 없었습니다.

21. 여호와 하나님께서 아담을 깊은 잠에 빠지게 하시니(caused the man to fall into a deep sleep) 그가 잠들었습니다(he slept). 하나님께서 그의 갈비뼈 하나를 취하시고(took one of the man's ribs) 살로 대신 채우셨습니다(closed up the place with flesh).

22. 여호와 하나님께서 아담에게서 취하신 갈비뼈(the rib)로 여자를 지으시고(made a woman) 그녀를 아담에게 데려오셨습니다(brought her to the man).

23. 아담이 말했습니다(said). “드디어 내 뼈 가운데 뼈(bone of my bones)요 내 살 가운데 살(flesh of my flesh)이 나타났구나. 이가 남자에게서 취해졌으니(because she was taken out of man) 여자라고 불릴 것이다(she shall be called woman).”

24. 그러므로(for this reason/for this cause) 남자가 자기 아버지와 어머니를 떠나(leave) 그 아내와 결합해(be united to his wife) 한 몸을 이루게 되는 것입니다(they will become one flesh).

25. 아담과 그의 아내(wife)가 둘 다 벌거벗었지만(were both naked) 서로 부끄러워하지 않았습니다(they felt no shame).

[무념무상 암기법] 이것도 역시 전체를 1~2일에 한 번씩 아무 생각없이 무념무상으로 읽어 나가십시오. 2~3개월 정도 후면 거의 무의식적인 상태로 암기가 될 것입니다. 즉 장기기억장치로 내려가서 암기가 되는 것이죠. 그러면 아주 오래 오래 오~래 갑니다.

우리말로 번역하여 이해하려 하지마시고, 영어 그대로를 음미하며 암기하시기 바랍니다. 그러면 앞으로 영어를 대하는 폭과 깊이가 달라질 것입니다. 영어는 영어 그대로를 음미할 때 제 맛을 가장 잘 느낄 수 있습니다. 진정한 독해는 이해가 아니라 음미입니다. 머리로 이해하는 것이 아니라 가슴으로 느끼는 것이죠. 이게 바로 독해의 최고봉이며 원어민들의 방법이기도 합니다. 이렇게 자꾸 연습하시면 전반적인 영문독해 속도도 당근 빨라지죠.
