From the transliteration you've given I looked on this site for "Chul" and got this page. It appears to be a transcription of Cheol which has numerous meanings depending on the characters used to spell it so like Pie said below, you'd really have to know how to spell it in Korean.But this is what I got for Cheol

To translate it you would have to know how it was originally written in Korean, as there are quite a few different meanings for both chul and hee, depending on the characters used.
