“So then, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all of his commandments, which I instruct to you this day, the Lord your God will cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which exist upon the earth.
2 og alle disse Velsignelser vil komme over dig og nå dig, dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst:
And all these blessings shall come to you and take hold of you, but only if you listen to his precepts.

And the Lord will appoint you as the head, and not as the tail. And you shall be always above, and not beneath. But only if you will listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I entrust to you this day, and will keep and do them,
14 uden at vige til højre eller venstre fra noget af de Bud, jeg i Dag pålægger eder, ved at holde dig til. andre Guder og dyrke dem.
and will not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor to the left, nor follow strange gods, nor worship them.

But if you are not willing to listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day, all these curses shall come to you, and take hold of you.

May the Lord strike you with frenzy and blindness and a madness of the mind.

And may you grope at midday, just as a blind man is accustomed to grope in darkness, and may your paths not be straight. And at all times may you suffer slander and be oppressed with violence, and may you have no one who may free you.

And you will become nothing but a proverb and a fable to all the peoples to whom the Lord will lead you.

And all these curses shall come to you, and shall pursue you, and shall take hold of you, until you pass away, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and you would not serve his commandments and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.
46 de skal til evig Tid følge dig o: dit Afkom som Tegn og Undere.
And there will be the signs and portents with you, and with your offspring, forever.
47 Eftersom du ikke vilde tjene HERREN din Gud med Fryd og Hjertens Glæde, fordi du havde Overflod på alt,
Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.
48 skal du komme til at tjene dine Fjender, som HERREN vil sende imod dig, under Hunger og Tørst, Nøgenhed og Mangel på alt; han skal lægge Jernåg på din Nakke, indtil de har lagt dig øde.
You will serve your enemy, whom the Lord will send to you, in hunger and thirst and nakedness, and in destitution of all things. And he will place an iron yoke upon your neck, until he has crushed you.

The Lord will lead over you a nation from far away, even from the furthest parts of the earth, like an eagle flying with great force, whose language you are not able to understand:
50 et Folk med hårde Ansigter, der ikke tager Hensyn til de gamle eller viser Skånsel mod de unge;
a very insolent nation, which will show no deference to elders, nor take pity on little ones.
51 det skal opæde dit Kvægs og din Jords Frugt, indtil du er lagt øde; det skal ikke levne dig Korn, Most eller Olie, tillæg af dine Okser eller Yngel af dit Småkvæg, indtil det har tilintetgjort dig;
And he will devour the fruit of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, until you have passed away, without leaving behind you wheat, or wine, or oil, or herds of oxen, or flocks of sheep: until he utterly destroys you.
52 det skal belejre dig i alle dine Byer, indtil dine høje, stærke Mure, som du stoler på, er styrtet sammen overalt i dit Land; det skal besejre dig overalt inden dine Porte overalt i dit Land, som HERREN din Gud giver dig.
And he will crush you in all your cities. And your strong and lofty walls, in which you trusted, will be destroyed throughout all your land. You will be besieged within your gates throughout all your land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
53 Og du skal fortære din Livsfrugt, Kødet af dine Sønner og Døtre, som HERREN din Gud giver dig, under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig;
And you will eat the fruit of your womb, and the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which the Lord your God will give to you, due to the anguish and devastation with which your enemy will oppress you.
54 selv den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Mænd skal se skævt til sin Broder, til sin Hustru, der hviler i hans Favn, og til de sidste Sønner, han har tilbage,
The man who is pampered and very self-indulgent among you will vie with his own brother, and with the wife who lies at his bosom,
55 så han ikke under en eneste af dem Kødet af sine Børn, som han fortærer, fordi der ikke er levnet ham noget under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig overalt inden dine Porte.
lest he give to them from the flesh of his sons, which he will eat. For he has nothing else due to the siege and the destitution, with which your enemies will devastate you within all your gates.
56 Og den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Kvinder, som aldrig har prøvet at træde med sin Fod på jorden for Blødagtighed og Forvænthed, skal se skævt til sin Mand, der hviler i hendes Favn, og til sin Søn og Datter,
The tender and pampered woman, who would not walk upon the soil, nor step firmly with her foot due to her very great softness and tenderness, will vie with her husband, who lies at her bosom, over the flesh of son and of daughter,
57 så hun ikke under dem Efterbyrden, der går fra hende, eller de Børn, hun føder; men i Mangel på alt fortærer hun dem selv i Løndom under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig inden dine Porte!
and over the filth of the afterbirth, which goes forth from between her thighs, and over the children who are born in the same hour. For they will eat them secretly, due to the scarcity of all things during the siege and the devastation, with which your enemy will oppress you within your gates.
58 Hvis du ikke omhyggeligt handler efter alle denne Lovs Ord, som står skrevet i denne Bog, og frygter dette herlige og forfærdelige Navn, HERREN din Gud,
If you will not keep and do all the words of this law, which have been written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name, that is, the Lord your God,
59 så skal HERREN sende uhørte Plager over dig og dit Afkom, svare og vedholdende Plager og ondartede, vedholdende Sygdomme,
then the Lord will increase your plagues, and the plagues of your offspring, plagues great and long-lasting, infirmities very grievous and continuous.
60 og lade alle Ægyptens Sygdomme, som du gruer for, komme over dig, og de skal hænge ved dig;
And he will turn back upon you all the afflictions of Egypt, which you fear, and these will cling to you.
61 ja endog alle mulige Sygdomme og Plager, som der ikke er skrevet om i denne Lovbog, skal HERREN lade komme over dig, til du er lagt øde.
In addition, the Lord will lead over you all the diseases and plagues that are not written in the volume of this law, until he crushes you.
62 Medens I før var talrige som Himmelens Stjerner, skal der kun blive nogle få Mænd tilbage af eder, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst.
And you will remain few in number, though you were before like the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
63 Og ligesom HERREN før havde sin Glæde af at gøre vel imod eder og gøre eder mangfoldige, således skal HERREN da have sin Glæde af at tilintetgøre eder og lægge eder øde, og t skal drives bort fra det Land, du nu skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
And just as before, when the Lord rejoiced over you, doing good for you and multiplying you, so shall he rejoice, scattering and overturning you, so as to take you away from the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
64 HERREN skal adsplitte dig blandt alle Folkeslagene fra den ene Ende af Jorden til den anden, og der skal du dyrke fremmede Guder, som hverken du eller dine Fædre før kendte til, Træ og Sten;
The Lord will disperse you among all the peoples, from the heights of the earth to its furthest limits. And there you will serve foreign gods of wood and of stone, which you and your fathers did not know.
65 og blandt disse Folk skal du ikke få Ro eller finde Hvile for din Fod; thi der skal HERREN give dig et skælvende Hjerte, udtærede Øjne og en vansdsmægtende Sjæl.
Similarly, you will not have tranquility, even within those nations, nor will there be any rest for the steps of your feet. For the Lord will give to you in that place a fearful heart, and failing eyes, and a life consumed with grieving.
66 Det skal syne, s dig, som hang dit Liv i en Tråd; du skal ængstes ved Dag og ved Nat og aldrig føle dig sikker på dit Liv.
And your life will be as if it were hanging before you. You will be afraid night and day, and you will not have confidence in your own life.
67 Om Morgenen skal du sige: "Gid det var Aften!" Og om Aftenen: "Gid det var Morgen!" Sådan Angst skal du gribes af, og så forfærdeligt bliver det, dine Øjne får at se.
In the morning you will say, ‘Who will grant evening to me?’ and at evening, ‘Who will grant morning to me?’ because of the dread of your heart, with which you will be terrified, and because of those things that you will see with your eyes.
68 Og HERREN skal føre dig tilbage til Ægypten på Skibe, ad den Vej, som jeg lovede dig, du aldrig mere skulde få at se; og der skal I stille eder til Salg for eders Fjender som Trælle og Trælkvinder, men der skal ingen være, som vil købe eder!
The Lord will lead you back into Egypt with a fleet of ships, along the way, about which he said to you that you would not see it again. In that place, you will be put up for sale as men and women servants to your enemies, but there will be no one willing to buy you.”
