초록

In this article, I examine the changes of archaic connective endings between the KRV (Korean Revised Version) and NKRV (New Korean Revised Version) for the entire text of the KRV and NKRV (from Genesis to Revelation).
As the KRV was revised to the NKRV, the kinds of archaic connective endings decreased from 16 to 15 compared to the previous one. The 16 connecting endings are ‘-geoneul(거늘)’, ‘-geoniwa(거니와)’, ‘-gwande(관데)/gwandae(관대)’, ‘-nani(나니)’, ‘-noni(노니)’, ‘-reoni(러니)’, ‘-eodeun(어든)’, ‘-ndae(ㄴ대)’, ‘-njeuk(ㄴ즉)’, ‘-doe(되)’, ‘-lsae(ㄹ새)’, ‘-ljina(ㄹ지나)’, ‘-ljini(ㄹ지니)’, ‘-ljindae(ㄹ진대)’, ‘-mae(매)’, and ‘-sa(사)’. Among them, ‘-gwande/gwandae’ disappeared from NKRV.
The total quantity seems to have increased by simple calculation, but it has actually decreased except for the change of ‘garasadae(가라사대) → ireusidoe(이르시되)’. In some details, there was also some examples changed to archaic expressions from ordinary expressions, but the quantity of such examples are small. Overall, as far as the connective ending is concerned, the antique style of the translation of the KRV filiation has slightly weakened.
Based on a deep understanding of the use of archaic conjugation endings, using such endings in the right context is also a way to make good use of the style of KRV filiation. The stately and solemn atmosphere of the archaic conjugation ending may be better suited to expressing God’s sovereignty, glory, and dignity.
The decrease of connective conjugation endings also increases the likelihood of repetition of the same word. In a situation where an ending with a strong modern colloquial feel cannot be easily introduced because it conflicts with the existing style, and if the archaic ending is reduced due to insufficient utilization, it can makes awkward or monotonous sentences.
Of course, not all archaic expression are necessarily preserved and translators should also take into account the reality that many archaic expressions feel difficult to the younger generation. However, if not all of the archaic words are dead, it would be more desirable to adjust the expressions in an orderly manner based on consistent and appropriate judgment on which expressions to inherit as it is and revise as necessary.
Currently, the Korean Bible Society is working on revising the NKRV. The archaic connective endings in the translation of the KRV filiation has not received much attention so far. If the review of various fields related to the archaic style, including the connective ending, is faithfully conducted, better results can be achieved.
