Sam-il-sin-go 4 The World

 

제4장 세계世界 (72자)

爾觀森列星辰하라 數無盡하고
大小와 明暗과 苦樂이 不同하니라.
一神이 造群世界하시고
神이 勅日世界使者하사
轄七百世界하시니
爾地自大나 一丸世界니라.
中火震盪하야 海幻陸遷하야
乃成見象하나니라.
神이 呵氣包底하시고 煦日色熱하시니
行翥化遊栽의 物이 繁殖하니라.

Chapter 4 The World

“Look at the stars spread infinitely across the sky. Just as their number is limitless, dissimilarity exists between largeness and smallness, brightness and darkness, and suffering and pleasure. Sangjenim created myriad worlds. He commanded the emissary in charge of the solar world to govern seven hundred of the myriad worlds. Though you believe the world in which you live to be vast, it is no greater than a single round pebble amidst the entirety of the cosmos. “The fire of genesis quaked violently, transformed into the sea and the land, and ultimately assumed its current form. The Spirit of Creation-Transformation then blew qi across your world, encompassing it to its very base, and warmed the land with the heat of the sun. Thenceforth, all living things that walked the earth, flew in the sky, metamorphosed, lived in the water, or laid roots were able to multiply.”
