한국의국화(國花)알려진무궁화(無窮花)대한이야기를

아주간단하게나마하고넘어가야만되겠다.

그런데Hibiscus미국에서는보통‘RoseofSharon’이라고부른다.

미국사람들은Hibiscus라는과학적인학명(學名)보다는

부르기쉬운보통의단어를택하고있기에

대부분의꽃가게에서도무궁화나무를‘RoseofSharon’이라고팔고있다.

[참고로,무궁화나무를영국에서는Rosemallow,

이탈리아에서는St.Joseph’srod라고부르고있다.]

그리고,

무궁화나무에는여러가지의(,species)있으며

—————————————

자아!여기까지는아무런문제나혼동이있을수가없는데

문제(問題)되는것은바로Bible(기독경)이라는책속에

‘RoseofSharon’이라는단어가나오고있는데

‘RoseofSharon’

미국어에서무궁화널리사용되고있다보니

점을이용하여,한국의기독교인들이,

“Bible(기독경)속에도무궁화(RoseofSharon)’라는꽃이나온다!”

크게떠들면서,설쳐대고있는것이바로문제가된다는것이다!

그래서,

기회에,그것에대하여서도,아주간단하게나마설명을하면

Bible아가서21(SongofSongs2:1)다음과같이되어있다.

IamaroseofSharon,

alilyofthevalleys.

(나는고작사론에수선화,

산골짜기에나리꽃이라오.)

이글에인용한번역공동번역서에서도

분명히사론에수선화라고번역이되어있듯이

비록,영어로‘roseofSharon’이라고되어있기는하지만,

그것은,미국어에서상용되고있는무궁화나무아니고

꽃의뿌리가구근(球根-bulb)으로되어있는Crocus식물로

Lily(백합)비슷한꽃일뿐이다.

,히브리語의Crocus‘RoseofSharon’으로잘못번역해놓은것이다.

그래서영문Bible에는footnote,분명하게,다음과같이표시가되어있다.

SongofSongs2:1IamaroseofSharon,alilyofthevalleys.

(Possiblyamemberofthecrocusfamily)

그렇다면….

그렇게잘못된번역의시작은어디에서시작된것일까?

그것은,바로,KingJamesVersionofTheBible(1611)이다!

[Thename"roseofSharon"firstappearsinEnglishin1611

IntheKingJamesVersionoftheBible.

AccordingtoanannotationofSongofSolomon2:1
