• Igitur cum venisset unus de sacerdotibus his, qui captivi ducti fuerant de Samaria, habitavit in Bethel et docebat eos quomodo colerent Dominum. (Biblia Sacra Vulgata, Liber II Regum, 17 17:28)

  그리하여 그들이 사마리아에서 유배를 보낸 사제들 가운데 하나가 돌아와 베텔에 살면서, 그들에게 주님을 어떻게 경외해야 하는지 가르쳤다. (불가타 성경, 열왕기 하권, 17장 17:28)

• et, cum Dominum colerent, diis quoque suis serviebant iuxta consuetudinem gentium, de quibus translati fuerant Samariam. (Biblia Sacra Vulgata, Liber II Regum, 17 17:33)

  이렇게 그들은 주님을 경외하면서도, 자기들을 유배시킨 민족들의 관습에 따라 자기네 신들을 함께 섬겼다. (불가타 성경, 열왕기 하권, 17장 17:33)

• quos cum in palam homines honorare non possent, propter hoc quod longe essent, e longinquo figura eorum efficta, evidentem imaginem regis, quem honorare volebant, fecerunt, ut illum, qui aberat, tamquam praesentem colerent sua sollicitudine. (Biblia Sacra Vulgata, Liber Sapientiae, 14 14:17)

  또 멀리 살아 군주를 눈앞에서 공경하지 못하는 사람들은 멀리에서 그 모습을 속으로 그리며 자기들이 공경하는 그 임금의 상을 눈에 띄게 만들고서는 열성에 겨워 자리에 있지도 않은 자에게 마치 있는 것처럼 아첨한다. (불가타 성경, 지혜서, 14장 14:17)

  그것은 그들이 자신들도 너희도 너희 조상들도 모르는 다른 신들에게 가 향을 피우고, 그것들을 섬겨 나를 분노하게 한 죄악을 저질렀기 때문이다. (불가타 성경, 예레미야서, 44장 44:3)

• Ut enim qui in villis intra consaepta morarentur, quam qui foris terram molirentur, ignaviores habitos, sic eos, qui sub umbra civitatis intra moenia desides cunctarentur, quam qui rura colerent administrarentve opera colonorum,segniores visos. (Columella, Lucius Junius Moderatus, Res Rustica, book 1, chapter pr 17:4)

유의어 사전

1. Vereri and revereri mean, to feel reverence; whereas venerari, to show reverence. Tac. Ann. xiv. 13; comp. venerationem sui with matris reverentia. 2. Vereri (ὁρᾶν?) denotes respect bordering on fear and bashfulness; whereas revereri, fear and bashfulness arising from respect. In vereri, fear, in revereri, respect is the principal notion: hence verecundia is the dread of exposing one’s self before the person respected; whereas reverentia, the calm consciousness that some one is worthy of this reverential feeling. 3. Venerari (ἄντεσθαι?) is used (at least in Cicero) only for demonstrations of reverence towards the gods and sacred things; observare, only for such demonstrations towards men; colere, towards either. Cic. Rep. i. 12. Ut . . . Africanum ut deum coleret Lælius, domi vicissim Lælium observaret in parentis loco Scipio. And, N. D. i. 42. ii. 28. The venerans seeks only to express due reverence, and by self-humiliation to avert the anger of the gods; the colens (from κόλαξ) seeks by acts of courtesy, of service, and of respect, to win the affection of some one, and the fruits of it, as from a cultivated field. Veneratio shows itself more in prayer; cultus, more in sacrifice: veneratio is more a single, transient act; cultus more a permanent expression of respect. Tac. H. i. 10. Vespasianus . . . Titum filium ad venerationem cultumque (ejus) miserat; that is, that he might do homage to the new emperor, and then also remain in his circle of courtiers. 4. Observare (from ἐρύεσθαι) involves a mere negative notion, and denotes having regard for, in opp. to slighting; yet is not, on this account, colere a stronger, observare a weaker term. Colere, indeed, involves more palpable activity, operam; whereas observare, more tender regard, pietatem; hence sometimes the one, sometimes the other, is the stronger expression. 5. Adorare is the most general expression for any sort of worship; whereas veneratio consists more in gestures, precatio in words. 6. Reveremur validas auctoritates; admiramur raras virtutes; suspicimus excellentia dignitate. At the same time it appears to me, that the reverens is in a state of silent awe; the admirans with the expression of loud, or at least visible enthusiasm; the suspiciens, under the image of one looking up to another with an humble feeling of his own inferiority. Revereri refers especially to moral; admirari, to intellectual and moral; suspicere, to any, even adventitious, pre-eminences. (ii. 185.)
