Hi! Help me with some grammar.

[itadakinokurahecate2105]

We have some Korean TV, it's Christian TV, and sometimes the language is outdated.
For example 하리가 하소서 할지어다.
What does it all mean?

First, thanks for leaving the comment here.
Second, how good your Korean is?? Do you understand K-drama? or daily conversation?
If yes, then learning about some usages of phrases, vocab from the Korean Bible would be great!
If no, it doesn't matter how well I explain this... it will be pointless.
I am a Christian myself. I read Korean Bible and English Bible. Even for me, some phrases from Korean Bible is hard to translate or to understand.
Why?? Because some of translation are "Literal".
and those ending form - "할지어다" - no Korean would say nor use it in daily conversation.
About your question, "하리가 하소서 할지어다"
To clearly translate that, I need to know previous sentences and even more...
Your sentence, 하리가 하소서 할지어다, does not make sense to me now.

I admire that you actually read and study K-Bible.

sorry that I couldn't give you an answer.
cheers,

Tim

I don't think it was a sentence, was it? I thought he just forgot to put the comma in between 하리까, 하소서, and 할지어다 ??

It's been a long time since I have been reading the old translation of the Korean bible - these days I read a more modern translation but most Koreans still prefer the ancient sounding one. Anyway I will have a try at these, all forms of the "하다" (to do) verb:

하리까 - a somewhat introspective 'what shall be done (about)?'' or 'shall I?' similar perhaps to 할까요?
하소서 - an entreaty to perform or accomplish something, similar to 하십시오
할지어다 - near as I can tell this translates as a light imperative meaning 'should/must be done' it is similar to 하라

Ok, that's all the research I feel like doing at the moment.
