Deuteronomy 28
1 Now if you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep with care all these orders which I have given you today, then the Lord your God will put you high over all the nations of the earth:
“你若留意听从耶和华—你 神的话，谨守遵行他的一切诫命，就是我今日所吩咐你的，他必使你超乎天下万民之上。
2 And all these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if your ears are open to the voice of the Lord your God.
你若听从耶和华—你 神的话，这以下的福必追随你，临到你身上：
3 A blessing will be on you in the town, and a blessing in the field.
你在城里必蒙福，在田间也必蒙福。
4 A blessing will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herd, and the young of your flock.
你身所生的，地所产的，牲畜所下的，以及牛犊、羊羔，都必蒙福。
5 A blessing will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.
你的筐子和你的抟面盆都必蒙福。
6 A blessing will be on your coming in and on your going out.
你出也蒙福，入也蒙福。
7 By the power of the Lord, those who take arms against you will be overcome before you: they will come out against you one way, and will go in flight from you seven ways.
“仇敌起来攻击你，耶和华必使他们在你面前被你杀败；他们从一条路来攻击你，必从七条路逃跑。
8 The Lord will send his blessing on your store-houses and on everything to which you put your hand: his blessing will be on you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
在你仓房里，并你手所办的一切事上，耶和华所命的福必临到你。耶和华—你 神也要在所给你的地上赐福与你。
9 The Lord will keep you as a people holy to himself, as he has said to you in his oath, if you keep the orders of the Lord your God and go on walking in his ways.
你若谨守耶和华—你 神的诫命，遵行他的道，他必照着向你所起的誓立你作为自己的圣民。
10 And all the peoples of the earth will see that the name of the Lord is on you, and they will go in fear of you.
天下万民见你归在耶和华的名下，就要惧怕你。
11 And the Lord will make you fertile in every good thing, in the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your fields, in the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, said he would give you.
你在耶和华向你列祖起誓应许赐你的地上，他必使你身所生的，牲畜所下的，地所产的，都绰绰有余。
12 Opening his store-house in heaven, the Lord will send rain on your land at the right time, blessing all the work of your hands: other nations will make use of your wealth, and you will have no need of theirs.
耶和华必为你开天上的府库，按时降雨在你的地上。在你手里所办的一切事上赐福与你。你必借给许多国民，却不致向他们借贷。
13 The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; and you will ever have the highest place, if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God which I give you today, to keep and to do them;
你若听从耶和华—你 神的诫命，就是我今日所吩咐你的，谨守遵行，不偏左右，也不随从事奉别神，耶和华就必使你作首不作尾，但居上不居下。”
14 Not turning away from any of the orders which I give you today, to the right hand or to the left, or going after any other gods to give them worship.
15 But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you:
“你若不听从耶和华—你 神的话，不谨守遵行他的一切诫命律例，就是我今日所吩咐你的，这以下的咒诅都必追随你，临到你身上：
16 You will be cursed in the town and cursed in the field.
你在城里必受咒诅，在田间也必受咒诅。
17 A curse will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.
你的筐子和你的抟面盆都必受咒诅。
18 A curse will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
你身所生的，地所产的，以及牛犊、羊羔，都必受咒诅。
19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
你出也受咒诅，入也受咒诅。
20 The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me.
耶和华因你行恶离弃他，必在你手里所办的一切事上，使咒诅、扰乱、责罚临到你，直到你被毁灭，速速地灭亡。
21 The Lord will send disease after disease on you, till you have been cut off by death from the land to which you are going.
耶和华必使瘟疫贴在你身上，直到他将你从所进去得为业的地上灭绝。
22 The Lord will send wasting disease, and burning pain, and flaming heat against you, keeping back the rain till your land is waste and dead; so will it be till your destruction is complete.
耶和华要用痨病、热病、火症、疟疾、刀剑、旱风、霉烂攻击你。这都要追赶你，直到你灭亡。
23 And the heaven over your heads will be brass, and the earth under you hard as iron.
你头上的天要变为铜，脚下的地要变为铁。
24 The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete.
耶和华要使那降在你地上的雨变为尘沙，从天临在你身上，直到你灭亡。
25 The Lord will let you be overcome by your haters: you will go out against them one way, and you will go in flight before them seven ways: you will be the cause of fear among all the kingdoms of the earth.
“耶和华必使你败在仇敌面前，你从一条路去攻击他们，必从七条路逃跑。你必在天下万国中抛来抛去。
26 Your bodies will be meat for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to send them away.
你的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的走兽作食物，并无人哄赶。
27 The Lord will send on you the disease of Egypt, and other sorts of skin diseases which nothing will make well.
耶和华必用埃及人的疮并痔疮、牛皮癣与疥攻击你，使你不能医治。
28 He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear:
耶和华必用癫狂、眼瞎、心惊攻击你。
29 You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour.
你必在午间摸索，好像瞎子在暗中摸索一样。你所行的必不亨通，时常遭遇欺压、抢夺，无人搭救。
30 You will take a wife, but another man will have the use of her: the house which your hands have made will never be your resting-place: you will make a vine-garden, and never take the fruit of it.
你聘定了妻，别人必与她同房；你建造房屋，不得住在其内；你栽种葡萄园，也不得用其中的果子。
31 Your ox will be put to death before your eyes, but its flesh will not be your food: your ass will be violently taken away before your face, and will not be given back to you: your sheep will be given to your haters, and there will be no saviour for you.
你的牛在你眼前宰了，你必不得吃它的肉；你的驴在你眼前被抢夺，不得归还；你的羊归了仇敌，无人搭救。
32 Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people, and your eyes will be wasted away with looking and weeping for them all the day: and you will have no power to do anything.
你的儿女必归与别国的民；你的眼目终日切望，甚至失明，你手中无力拯救。
33 The fruit of your land and all the work of your hands will be food for a nation which is strange to you and to your fathers; you will only be crushed down and kept under for ever:
你的土产和你劳碌得来的，必被你所不认识的国民吃尽。你时常被欺负，受压制，
34 So that the things which your eyes have to see will send you out of your minds.
甚至你因眼中所看见的，必致疯狂。
35 The Lord will send a skin disease, attacking your knees and your legs, bursting out from your feet to the top of your head, so that nothing will make you well.
耶和华必攻击你，使你膝上腿上，从脚掌到头顶，长毒疮无法医治。
36 And you, and the king whom you have put over you, will the Lord take away to a nation strange to you and to your fathers; there you will be servants to other gods of wood and stone.
“耶和华必将你和你所立的王领到你和你列祖素不认识的国去；在那里你必事奉木头石头的神。
37 And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take you.
你在耶和华领你到的各国中，要令人惊骇、笑谈、讥诮。
38 You will take much seed out into the field, and get little in; for the locust will get it.
你带到田间的种子虽多，收进来的却少，因为被蝗虫吃了。
39 You will put in vines and take care of them, but you will get no wine or grapes from them; for they will be food for worms.
你栽种、修理葡萄园，却不得收葡萄，也不得喝葡萄酒，因为被虫子吃了。
40 Your land will be full of olive-trees, but there will be no oil for the comfort of your body; for your olive-tree will give no fruit.
你全境有橄榄树，却不得其油抹身，因为树上的橄榄不熟自落了。
41 You will have sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go away prisoners into a strange land.
你生儿养女，却不算是你的，因为必被掳去。
42 All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.
你所有的树木和你地里的出产必被蝗虫所吃。
43 The man from a strange land who is living among you will be lifted up higher and higher over you, while you go down lower and lower.
在你中间寄居的，必渐渐上升，比你高而又高；你必渐渐下降，低而又低。
44 He will let you have his wealth at interest, and will have no need of yours: he will be the head and you the tail.
他必借给你，你却不能借给他；他必作首，你必作尾。
45 And all these curses will come after you and overtake you, till your destruction is complete; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, or keep his laws and his orders which he gave you:
这一切咒诅必追随你，赶上你，直到你灭亡；因为你不听从耶和华—你 神的话，不遵守他所吩咐的诫命律例。
46 These things will come on you and on your seed, to be a sign and a wonder for ever;
这些咒诅必在你和你后裔的身上成为异迹奇事，直到永远！
47 Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things;
“因为你富有的时候，不欢心乐意地事奉耶和华—你的 神，
48 For this cause you will become servants to those whom the Lord your God will send against you, without food and drink and clothing, and in need of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck till he has put an end to you.
所以你必在饥饿、干渴、赤露、缺乏之中事奉耶和华所打发来攻击你的仇敌。他必把铁轭加在你的颈项上，直到将你灭绝。
49 The Lord will send a nation against you from the farthest ends of the earth, coming with the flight of an eagle; a nation whose language is strange to you;
“耶和华要从远方、地极带一国的民，如鹰飞来攻击你。这民的言语，你不懂得。
50 A hard-faced nation, who will have no respect for the old or mercy for the young:
这民的面貌凶恶，不顾恤年老的，也不恩待年少的。
51 He will take the fruit of your cattle and of your land till death puts an end to you: he will let you have nothing of your grain or wine or oil or any of the increase of your cattle or the young of your flock, till he has made your destruction complete.
他们必吃你牲畜所下的和你地土所产的，直到你灭亡。你的五谷、新酒，和油，以及牛犊、羊羔，都不给你留下，直到将你灭绝。
52 Your towns will be shut in by his armies, till your high walls, in which you put your faith, have come down: his armies will be round your towns, through all your land which the Lord your God has given you.
他们必将你困在你各城里，直到你所倚靠、高大坚固的城墙都被攻塌。他们必将你困在耶和华—你 神所赐你遍地的各城里。
53 And your food will be the fruit of your body, the flesh of the sons and daughters which the Lord your God has given you; because of your bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters.
你在仇敌围困窘迫之中，必吃你本身所生的，就是耶和华—你 神所赐给你的儿女之肉。
54 That man among you who is soft and used to comfort will be hard and cruel to his brother, and to his dear wife, and to of those his children who are still living;
你们中间，柔弱娇嫩的人必恶眼看他弟兄和他怀中的妻，并他余剩的儿女；
55 And will not give to any of them the flesh of his children which will be his food because he has no other; in the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.
甚至在你受仇敌围困窘迫的城中，他要吃儿女的肉，不肯分一点给他的亲人，因为他一无所剩。
56 The most soft and delicate of your women, who would not so much as put her foot on the earth, so delicate is she, will be hard-hearted to her husband and to her son and to her daughter;
你们中间，柔弱娇嫩的妇人，是因娇嫩柔弱不肯把脚踏地的，必恶眼看她怀中的丈夫和她的儿女。
57 And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.
她两腿中间出来的婴孩与她所要生的儿女，她因缺乏一切就要在你受仇敌围困窘迫的城中将他们暗暗地吃了。
58 If you will not take care to do all the words of this law, recorded in this book, honouring that name of glory and of fear, THE LORD YOUR GOD;
“这书上所写律法的一切话是叫你敬畏耶和华—你 神可荣可畏的名。你若不谨守遵行，耶和华就必将奇灾，就是至大至长的灾，至重至久的病，加在你和你后裔的身上，
59 Then the Lord your God will make your punishment, and the punishment of your seed, a thing to be wondered at; great punishments and cruel diseases stretching on through long years.
60 He will send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip.
也必使你所惧怕、埃及人的病都临到你，贴在你身上，
61 And all the diseases and the pains not recorded in the book of this law will the Lord send on you till your destruction is complete.
又必将没有写在这律法书上的各样疾病、灾殃降在你身上，直到你灭亡。
62 And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.
你们先前虽然像天上的星那样多，却因不听从耶和华—你 神的话，所剩的人数就稀少了。
63 And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and increasing you, so the Lord will take pleasure in cutting you off and causing your destruction, and you will be uprooted from the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
先前耶和华怎样喜悦善待你们，使你们众多，也要照样喜悦毁灭你们，使你们灭亡；并且你们从所要进去得的地上必被拔除。
64 And the Lord will send you wandering among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other: there you will be servants to other gods, of wood and stone, gods of which you and your fathers had no knowledge.
耶和华必使你们分散在万民中，从地这边到地那边，你必在那里事奉你和你列祖素不认识、木头石头的神。
65 And even among these nations there will be no peace for you, and no rest for your feet: but the Lord will give you there a shaking heart and wasting eyes and weariness of soul:
在那些国中，你必不得安逸，也不得落脚之地；耶和华却使你在那里心中跳动，眼目失明，精神消耗。
66 Your very life will be hanging in doubt before you, and day and night will be dark with fears, and nothing in life will be certain:
你的性命必悬悬无定；你昼夜恐惧，自料性命难保。
67 In the morning you will say, If only it was evening! And at evening you will say, If only morning would come! Because of the fear in your hearts and the things which your eyes will see.
你因心里所恐惧的，眼中所看见的，早晨必说，巴不得到晚上才好；晚上必说，巴不得到早晨才好。
68 And the Lord will take you back to Egypt again in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You will never see it again: there you will be offering yourselves as men-servants and women-servants to your haters for a price, and no man will take you.
耶和华必使你坐船回埃及去，走我曾告诉你不得再见的路；在那里你必卖己身与仇敌作奴婢，却无人买。”
