📖 The Tale of Janghwa and Hongryeon

(장화홍련전)

옛날 옛적에 장화와 홍련이라는 아름답고 착한 자매가 살고 있었어요.
[Yet-nal] [yet-jeo-ge] [Jang-hwa-wa] [Hong-ryeon-i-ra-neun] [a-reum-dap-go] [chak-han] [ja-mae-ga] [sal-go] [i-sseo-sseo-yo].
Long ago, there lived two beautiful and kind sisters named Janghwa and Hongryeon.

두 자매는 어머니를 일찍 여의고, 아버지와 함께 살았어요.
[Du] [ja-mae-neun] [eo-meo-ni-reul] [il-jjik] [yeo-i-go], [a-beo-ji-wa] [ham-kke] [sa-ra-sseo-yo].
The sisters lost their mother early and lived with their father.

어느 날, 아버지가 새어머니를 맞이하게 되었어요.
[Eo-neu] [nal], [a-beo-ji-ga] [sae-eo-meo-ni-reul] [ma-ji-ha-ge] [doe-eo-sseo-yo].
One day, their father married a new woman.

처음엔 친절해 보였지만, 새어머니는 곧 두 자매를 미워하기 시작했어요.
[Cheo-eum-en] [chin-jeol-hae] [bo-yeot-ji-man], [sae-eo-meo-ni-neun] [got] [du] [ja-mae-reul] [mi-wo-ha-gi] [si-jak-ae-sseo-yo].
At first she seemed kind, but soon the stepmother began to hate the sisters.

그녀는 자기 딸에게만 잘해 주고, 장화와 홍련에게는 심한 일만 시켰어요.
[Geu-nyeo-neun] [ja-gi] [ttal-e-ge-man] [jal-hae] [ju-go], [Jang-hwa-wa] [Hong-ryeon-e-ge-neun] [sim-han] [il-man] [si-kyeo-sseo-yo].
She treated only her own daughter well and gave Janghwa and Hongryeon harsh chores.

장화는 나이가 들어 혼인할 나이가 되었지만, 새어머니는 못 가게 방해했어요.
[Jang-hwa-neun] [na-i-ga] [deu-reo] [hon-in-hal] [na-i-ga] [doe-eot-ji-man], [sae-eo-meo-ni-neun] [mot] [ga-ge] [bang-hae-hae-sseo-yo].
Janghwa came of age to be married, but the stepmother tried to prevent it.

어느 날, 새어머니는 장화가 임신했다고 거짓말을 퍼뜨렸어요.
[Eo-neu] [nal], [sae-eo-meo-ni-neun] [Jang-hwa-ga] [im-sin-haet-da-go] [geo-jit-mal-eul] [peo-tteu-ryeo-sseo-yo].
One day, the stepmother spread a lie that Janghwa was pregnant.

사람들은 장화를 비난했고, 아버지마저 장화를 믿지 않게 되었어요.
[Sa-ram-deul-eun] [Jang-hwa-reul] [bi-nan-haet-go], [a-beo-ji-ma-jeo] [Jang-hwa-reul] [mit-ji] [anh-ge] [doe-eo-sseo-yo].
People criticized Janghwa, and even her father stopped believing her.

결국 장화는 억울한 마음에 연못에 몸을 던져 목숨을 잃었어요.
[Gyeol-guk] [Jang-hwa-neun] [eog-ur-an] [ma-eu-me] [yeon-mot-e] [mom-eul] [deon-jyeo] [mog-sum-eul] [il-heo-sseo-yo].
In the end, heartbroken, Janghwa threw herself into a pond and lost her life.

홍련은 언니의 죽음을 슬퍼하며 더 힘들게 살았어요.
[Hong-ryeon-eun] [eon-ni-ui] [ju-geum-eul] [seul-peo-ha-myeo] [deo] [him-deul-ge] [sa-ra-sseo-yo].
Hongryeon mourned her sister’s death and lived even more painfully.

하지만 새어머니는 홍련도 미워했고, 결국 홍련도 같은 운명을 맞았어요.
[Ha-ji-man] [sae-eo-meo-ni-neun] [Hong-ryeon-do] [mi-wo-haet-go], [gyeol-guk] [Hong-ryeon-do] [ga-teun] [un-myeong-eul] [ma-ja-sseo-yo].
But the stepmother also hated Hongryeon, and in the end, Hongryeon met the same fate.

그 후로 마을에 두 자매의 원혼이 나타나기 시작했어요.
[Geu] [hu-ro] [ma-eul-e] [du] [ja-mae-ui] [won-hon-i] [na-ta-na-gi] [si-jak-ae-sseo-yo].
After that, the sisters’ spirits began appearing in the village.

귀신이 된 장화와 홍련은 억울함을 알리고자 사람들 앞에 나타났어요.
[Gwi-sin-i] [doen] [Jang-hwa-wa] [Hong-ryeon-eun] [eo-gur-ham-eul] [al-li-go-ja] [sa-ram-deul] [ape] [na-ta-na-sseo-yo].
As ghosts, Janghwa and Hongryeon appeared to reveal the injustice done to them.

관리는 이 사건을 조사했고, 결국 새어머니의 죄가 밝혀졌어요.
[Gwal-li-neun] [i] [sa-geon-eul] [jo-sa-haet-go], [gyeol-guk] [sae-eo-meo-ni-ui] [jwae-ga] [bal-khyeo-jyeo-sseo-yo].
An official investigated the case, and the stepmother’s crimes were revealed.

아버지는 자신의 잘못을 깨닫고, 두 딸을 잃은 것을 후회했어요.
[A-beo-ji-neun] [ja-sin-ui] [jal-mot-eul] [kkae-dat-go], [du] [ttal-eul] [i-rheun] [geo-seul] [hu-hoe-hae-sseo-yo].
The father realized his mistake and deeply regretted losing his daughters.

후에 두 자매는 다시 환생하여 행복하게 살았다고 전해져요.
[Hu-we] [du] [ja-mae-neun] [da-si] [hwan-saeng-ha-yeo] [haeng-bok-ha-ge] [sa-rat-da-go] [jeon-hae-jyeo-yo].
Later, it is said the two sisters were reborn and lived happily.
