초록

It is true that Korean Old Testament scholarship does not pay due attention to the study on the Vulgate despite its importance for the Bible translation and exegesis.
The purpose of the present article is to reassess the principles and particularities of Jerome's Latin Bible translation, Vulgate. Here I have dealt with the matters on the basis of the literary analysis of the first three psalms of the O. T. I tried to carry it out by the observation of the rhetorical and semantic characteristics of his translation, particularly by the comparative observations of Hebrew Bible(MT), Septuagint, Psalterium Gallicanum(Psalmi iuxta Septuaginta emendati), and Psalterium iuxta Hebraeos(Psalmi iuxta Hebraicum translati). Here I have focused on the facts related to the translation of the Bible.
Jerome was faithful to the Hebrew texts in his translation, at least in his translation of the Psalms. Actually it was the goal of his translation. He was serious about the literary and theological contents of the texts, but at the same time he tried to reproduce the rhetorical and structural particularities of the Hebrew texts in his Latin translation of the Bible. He tried to represent the literary excellency of the Hebrew poetry in his translation. This was another important goal of his translation.
He tried to achieve it by reproducing in his Latin translation the phonetic particularities of the Hebrew poetry(Ps 1:5, 6; 2:2; 4:3), its poetic terseness (Ps 1:3; 2:4, 10), and the particular semantic connotations of the Hebrew language (Ps 1:1, 2; 2:3, 10, 12; 4:4). His word choice was based on the very careful analysis of the meanings of the words in their own literary and theological contexts(Ps 1:3, 5; 2:1, 2; 3:2; 4:2). He also introduced special Latin complex words(Ps 2:2, 5; 3:2; 4:2).
He sometimes accepted the expressions of the already existing translations. But mostly he tried to produce a new translation with the freshness of expression in his translation with his literary creativity. He tried to be faithful to the Hebrew texts, but he did not purport to translate them mechanically. He did it on the basis of the deep knowledge of both the source language and the target language, that is, Hebrew and Latin. Especially he shows his very careful consideration about the users of the target language. These are the basic principles of the Bible translation that we have to bear in mind in our translation of the Bible. But the study of Vulgate provides various insights for the actual translation. It should also be very useful for the exegesis on the Biblical texts.
