In the chronicles of the ancient dynasty of the Sassanidae, who reigned for about four hundred years, from Persia to the borders of China, beyond the great river Ganges itself, we read the praises of one of the kings of this race, who was said to be the best monarch of his time.

페르시아에서 중국 국경, 곧 갠지스 강 너머까지 약 400년간 통치했던 고대 사산 왕조의 연대기에는 당대 최고의 군주로 불렸던 이 왕조의 한 왕에 대한 칭송이 기록되어 있습니다.

His subjects loved him, and his neighbors feared him, and when he died he left his kingdom in a more prosperous and powerful condition than any king had done before him.

그의 백성들은 그를 사랑했고, 그의 이웃들은 그를 두려워했으며, 그가 죽었을 때 그는 이전의 어떤 왕보다도 더 번영하고 강력한 왕국을 남겼습니다.

The two sons who survived him loved each other tenderly, and it was a real grief to the elder, Schahriar, that the laws of the empire forbade him to share his dominions with his brother Schahzeman.

그보다 오래 산 두 아들은 서로를 매우 사랑했으며, 장남 샤리아르는 제국의 법률 때문에 동생 샤흐제만과 영토를 나눌 수 없게 된 것을 매우 슬퍼했습니다.

Indeed, after ten years, during which this state of things had not ceased to trouble him, Schahriar cut off the country of Great Tartary from the Persian Empire and made his brother king.

실제로 십 년 동안 이러한 상황이 그를 계속 괴롭히자 샤리아르는 대타타르 지역을 페르시아 제국에서 분리하고 그의 형제를 왕으로 삼았습니다.

Now the Sultan Schahriar had a wife whom he loved more than all the world, and his greatest happiness was to surround her with splendour, and to give her the finest dresses and the most beautiful jewels.

이제 술탄 샤흐리아르에게는 세상 무엇보다 사랑하는 아내가 있었는데, 그의 가장 큰 행복은 그녀를 화려함으로 둘러싸고 가장 좋은 옷과 가장 아름다운 보석을 선물하는 것이었습니다.

It was therefore with the deepest shame and sorrow that he accidentally discovered, after several years, that she had deceived him completely, and her whole conduct turned out to have been so bad, that he felt himself obliged to carry out the law of the land, and order the grand-vizir to put her to death.

그러므로 그는 수년이 지난 후에 우연히 그녀가 자신을 완전히 속였다는 사실을 알게 되었고, 그녀의 모든 행실이 너무나 악했기에 그는 깊은 수치심과 슬픔을 느껴 나라의 법을 집행하고 재상에게 그녀를 처형하라고 명령해야 할 의무를 느꼈습니다.

The blow was so heavy that his mind almost gave way, and he declared that he was quite sure that at bottom all women were as wicked as the sultana, if you could only find them out, and that the fewer the world contained the better.

그 충격이 너무 커서 그의 정신이 거의 무너질 뻔했고, 그는 모든 여자가 근본적으로 술탄비처럼 사악하며, 그런 여자들을 찾아내기만 하면 세상에 그런 여자가 적을수록 좋다고 확신한다고 선언했습니다.

So every evening he married a fresh wife and had her strangled the following morning before the grand-vizir, whose duty it was to provide these unhappy brides for the Sultan.

그래서 그는 매일 저녁 새 아내를 맞이하고 다음 날 아침 재상 앞에서 그녀를 목 졸라 죽였습니다. 재상의 임무는 술탄에게 이러한 불행한 신부들을 제공하는 것이었습니다.
