申命記 28
1 「你若留意聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，謹守遵行他的一切誡命，就是我今日所吩咐你的，他必使你超乎天下萬民之上。
If you listen carefully to the voice of Yahweh your God so as to keep all his commandments that I am commanding you today, Yahweh your God will set you above all the other nations of the earth.
2 你若聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，這以下的福必追隨你，臨到你身上：
All these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
3 你在城裏必蒙福，在田間也必蒙福。
Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be in the field.
4 你身所生的，地所產的，牲畜所下的，以及牛犢、羊羔，都必蒙福。
Blessed will be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
5 你的筐子和你的摶麵盆都必蒙福。
Blessed will be your basket and your kneading trough.
6 你出也蒙福，入也蒙福。
Blessed will you be when you come in, and blessed will you be when you go out.
7 「仇敵起來攻擊你，耶和華必使他們在你面前被你殺敗；他們從一條路來攻擊你，必從七條路逃跑。
Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck down before you; they will come out against you one way but will flee before you seven ways.
8 在你倉房裏，並你手所辦的一切事上，耶和華所命的福必臨到你。耶和華－你上帝也要在所給你的地上賜福與你。
Yahweh will command the blessing to come on you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to; he will bless you in the land that he is giving you.
9 你若謹守耶和華－你上帝的誡命，遵行他的道，他必照着向你所起的誓立你作為自己的聖民。
Yahweh will establish you as a people that is set apart for himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways.
10 天下萬民見你歸在耶和華的名下，就要懼怕你。
All the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
11 你在耶和華向你列祖起誓應許賜你的地上，他必使你身所生的，牲畜所下的，地所產的，都綽綽有餘。
Yahweh will make you very prosperous in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your cattle, in the fruit of your ground, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you.
12 耶和華必為你開天上的府庫，按時降雨在你的地上。在你手裏所辦的一切事上賜福與你。你必借給許多國民，卻不致向他們借貸。
Yahweh will open to you his storehouse of the heavens to give the rain for your land at the right time, and to bless all the work of your hand; you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.
13 你若聽從耶和華－你上帝的誡命，就是我今日所吩咐你的，謹守遵行，不偏左右，也不隨從事奉別神，耶和華就必使你作首不作尾，但居上不居下。」
Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail; you will be only above, and you will never be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you today, so as to observe and to do them,
and if you do not turn away from any of the words that I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left, so as to go after other gods to serve them.
15 「你若不聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，不謹守遵行他的一切誡命律例，就是我今日所吩咐你的，這以下的咒詛都必追隨你，臨到你身上：
But if you do not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his commandments and his statutes that I am commanding you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you.
16 你在城裏必受咒詛，在田間也必受咒詛。
Cursed will you be in the city, and cursed will you be in the field.
17 你的筐子和你的摶麵盆都必受咒詛。
Cursed will be your basket and your kneading trough.
18 你身所生的，地所產的，以及牛犢、羊羔，都必受咒詛。
Cursed will be the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
19 你出也受咒詛，入也受咒詛。
Cursed will you be when you come in, and cursed will you be when you go out.
20 耶和華因你行惡離棄他，必在你手裏所辦的一切事上，使咒詛、擾亂、責罰臨到你，直到你被毀滅，速速地滅亡。
Yahweh will send on you curses, confusion, and rebukes in all that you put your hand to, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly because of your wicked actions by which you will have forsaken me.
21 耶和華必使瘟疫貼在你身上，直到他將你從所進去得為業的地上滅絕。
Yahweh will make the plague cling to you until he destroys you from off the land that you are going in to possess.
22 耶和華要用癆病、熱病、火症、瘧疾、刀劍、旱風、霉爛攻擊你。這都要追趕你，直到你滅亡。
Yahweh will attack you with infectious diseases, with fever, with inflammation, and with drought and blistering heat, and with scorching winds and mildew. These will pursue you until you perish.
23 你頭上的天要變為銅，腳下的地要變為鐵。
Your skies that are over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.
24 耶和華要使那降在你地上的雨變為塵沙，從天臨在你身上，直到你滅亡。
Yahweh will make the rain of your land into powder and dust; from the heavens will it come down on you, until you are destroyed.
25 「耶和華必使你敗在仇敵面前，你從一條路去攻擊他們，必從七條路逃跑。你必在天下萬國中拋來拋去。
Yahweh will cause you to be struck down before your enemies; you will go out one way against them but will flee before them seven ways. You will be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 你的屍首必給空中的飛鳥和地上的走獸作食物，並無人鬨趕。
Your dead body will be food to all the birds of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to frighten them away.
27 耶和華必用埃及人的瘡並痔瘡、牛皮癬與疥攻擊你，使你不能醫治。
Yahweh will attack you with the boils of Egypt and with ulcers, scurvy, and itch, from which you cannot be healed.
28 耶和華必用癲狂、眼瞎、心驚攻擊你。
Yahweh will attack you with madness, with blindness, and with mental confusion.
29 你必在午間摸索，好像瞎子在暗中摸索一樣。你所行的必不亨通，時常遭遇欺壓、搶奪，無人搭救。
You will grope about at noonday like the blind grope in the darkness, and you will not prosper in your ways; you will be always oppressed and robbed, and there will be no one to save you.
30 你聘定了妻，別人必與她同房；你建造房屋，不得住在其內；你栽種葡萄園，也不得用其中的果子。
You will become engaged to a woman, but another man will seize her and rape her. You will build a house but not live in it; you will plant a vineyard but not enjoy its fruit.
31 你的牛在你眼前宰了，你必不得吃牠的肉；你的驢在你眼前被搶奪，不得歸還；你的羊歸了仇敵，無人搭救。
Your ox will be slain before your eyes, but you will not eat its meat; your donkey will be forcibly taken away from before you and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to aid you.
32 你的兒女必歸與別國的民；你的眼目終日切望，甚至失明，你手中無力拯救。
Your sons and your daughters will be given to other peoples; your eyes will look for them the entire day, but will fail with longing for them. There will be no strength in your hand.
33 你的土產和你勞碌得來的，必被你所不認識的國民吃盡。你時常被欺負，受壓制，
The harvest of your land and of all your labors—a nation that you do not know will eat it up; you will always be oppressed and crushed,
34 甚至你因眼中所看見的，必致瘋狂。
so that you will become insane by what you have to see happen.
35 耶和華必攻擊你，使你膝上腿上，從腳掌到頭頂，長毒瘡無法醫治。
Yahweh will attack you in the knees and legs with severe boils from which you cannot be cured, from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head.
36 「耶和華必將你和你所立的王領到你和你列祖素不認識的國去；在那裏你必事奉木頭石頭的神。
Yahweh will take you and the king whom you will place over yourself to a nation that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors; there you will worship other gods of wood and stone.
37 你在耶和華領你到的各國中，要令人驚駭、笑談、譏誚。
You will become a source of horror, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Yahweh will lead you away.
38 你帶到田間的種子雖多，收進來的卻少，因為被蝗蟲吃了。
You will take much seed out into the field, but will gather little seed in, for the locusts will consume it.
39 你栽種、修理葡萄園，卻不得收葡萄，也不得喝葡萄酒，因為被蟲子吃了。
You will plant vineyards and cultivate them, but you will neither drink any of the wine, nor even gather in the grapes, for worms will eat them.
40 你全境有橄欖樹，卻不得其油抹身，因為樹上的橄欖不熟自落了。
You will have olive trees within all your territory, but you will not rub any of the oil on yourself, for your olive trees will drop their fruit.
41 你生兒養女，卻不算是你的，因為必被擄去。
You will have sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, for they will go into captivity.
42 你所有的樹木和你地裏的出產必被蝗蟲所吃。
All your trees and the fruit of your ground—the locusts will take them over.
43 在你中間寄居的，必漸漸上升，比你高而又高；你必漸漸下降，低而又低。
The foreigner who is among you will rise up above you higher and higher; you yourself will come down lower and lower.
44 他必借給你，你卻不能借給他；他必作首，你必作尾。
He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him; he will be the head, and you will be the tail.
45 這一切咒詛必追隨你，趕上你，直到你滅亡；因為你不聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，不遵守他所吩咐的誡命律例。
All these curses will come on you and will pursue and overtake you until you are destroyed. This will happen because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep his commandments and his regulations that he commanded you.
46 這些咒詛必在你和你後裔的身上成為異蹟奇事，直到永遠！
These curses will be on you as signs and wonders, and on your descendants forever.
47 「因為你富有的時候，不歡心樂意地事奉耶和華－你的上帝，
Because you did not worship Yahweh your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart when you were in prosperity,
48 所以你必在飢餓、乾渴、赤露、缺乏之中事奉耶和華所打發來攻擊你的仇敵。他必把鐵軛加在你的頸項上，直到將你滅絕。
therefore will you serve the enemies that Yahweh will send against you; you will serve them in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in poverty. He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he destroys you.
49 「耶和華要從遠方、地極帶一國的民，如鷹飛來攻擊你。這民的言語，你不懂得。
Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle flies to its victim, a nation whose language you do not understand;
50 這民的面貌凶惡，不顧恤年老的，也不恩待年少的。
a nation with a fierce face that does not respect the aged and does not show favor to the young.
51 他們必吃你牲畜所下的和你地土所產的，直到你滅亡。你的五穀、新酒，和油，以及牛犢、羊羔，都不給你留下，直到將你滅絕。
They will eat the young of your cattle and the fruit of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave for you no grain, new wine, or oil, no young of your cattle or of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.
52 他們必將你困在你各城裏，直到你所倚靠、高大堅固的城牆都被攻塌。他們必將你困在耶和華－你上帝所賜你遍地的各城裏。
They will besiege you in all your city gates, until your high and fortified walls come down everywhere in your land, walls in which you had trusted. They will besiege you within all your city gates throughout all the land that Yahweh your God had given you.
53 你在仇敵圍困窘迫之中，必吃你本身所生的，就是耶和華－你上帝所賜給你的兒女之肉。
You will eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God gave you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies will put upon you.
54 你們中間，柔弱嬌嫩的人必惡眼看他弟兄和他懷中的妻，並他餘剩的兒女；
The man who is tender and very delicate among you—he will be envious of his brother and his own dear wife, and of whatever children he has left.
55 甚至在你受仇敵圍困窘迫的城中，他要吃兒女的肉，不肯分一點給他的親人，因為他一無所剩。
So he will not give to any of them the flesh of his own children that he is going to eat, because he will have nothing left for himself in the siege and in the distress which your enemy will put upon you within all your city gates.
56 你們中間，柔弱嬌嫩的婦人，是因嬌嫩柔弱不肯把腳踏地的，必惡眼看她懷中的丈夫和她的兒女。
The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to put the bottom of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness—she will be envious of her own dear husband, of her son, and of her daughter,
57 她兩腿中間出來的嬰孩與她所要生的兒女，她因缺乏一切就要在你受仇敵圍困窘迫的城中將他們暗暗地吃了。
and of her own newborn that comes out from between her legs, and of the children whom she will bear. She will eat them in private for lack of anything else, during the siege and in the distress which your enemy will put upon you within your city gates.
58 「這書上所寫律法的一切話是叫你敬畏耶和華－你上帝可榮可畏的名。你若不謹守遵行，耶和華就必將奇災，就是至大至長的災，至重至久的病，加在你和你後裔的身上，
If you do not keep all the words of this law that are written in this book, so as to honor this glorious and fearful name, Yahweh your God,
then Yahweh will make your plagues terrible, and those of your descendants; they will be great plagues, of long duration, and severe diseases, of long duration.
60 也必使你所懼怕、埃及人的病都臨到你，貼在你身上，
He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt that you were afraid of; they will cling to you.
61 又必將沒有寫在這律法書上的各樣疾病、災殃降在你身上，直到你滅亡。
Also every sickness and plague that is not written in the book of this law, those also Yahweh will bring on you until you are destroyed.
62 你們先前雖然像天上的星那樣多，卻因不聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，所剩的人數就稀少了。
You will be left few in number, although you were like the stars of the heavens in number, because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
63 先前耶和華怎樣喜悅善待你們，使你們眾多，也要照樣喜悅毀滅你們，使你們滅亡；並且你們從所要進去得的地上必被拔除。
As Yahweh once rejoiced over you in doing you good, and in multiplying you, so he will rejoice over you in making you perish and in destroying you. You will be plucked off the land that you are going into to possess.
64 耶和華必使你們分散在萬民中，從地這邊到地那邊，你必在那裏事奉你和你列祖素不認識、木頭石頭的神。
Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples from the one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; there you will worship other gods that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors, gods of wood and stone.
65 在那些國中，你必不得安逸，也不得落腳之地；耶和華卻使你在那裏心中跳動，眼目失明，精神消耗。
Among these nations will you find no ease, and there will be no rest for the bottoms of your feet; instead, Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a soul that mourns.
66 你的性命必懸懸無定；你晝夜恐懼，自料性命難保。
Your life will hang in doubt before you; you will fear every night and day and will have no certainty at all in your life.
67 你因心裏所恐懼的，眼中所看見的，早晨必說，巴不得到晚上才好；晚上必說，巴不得到早晨才好。
In the morning you will say, 'I wish it were evening!' and in the evening you will say, 'I wish it were morning!' because of the fear in your hearts and the things your eyes will have to see.
68 耶和華必使你坐船回埃及去，走我曾告訴你不得再見的路；在那裏你必賣己身與仇敵作奴婢，卻無人買。」
Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again by ships, by the route about which I had said to you, 'You will not see Egypt again.' There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will purchase you.”
