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。
And it shall come to pass, if thou shall hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee on high above all the 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：
and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shall hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God:
3 你在城裏必蒙福，在田間也必蒙福。
Blessed shall thou be in the city, and blessed shall thou 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 shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy beasts, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock.
5 你的筐子和你的摶麵盆都必蒙福。
Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
6 你出也蒙福，入也蒙福。
Blessed shall thou be when thou come in, and blessed shall thou be when thou 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。
Jehovah will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee. They shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee 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。
Jehovah will command the blessing upon thee in thy barns, and in all that thou put thy hand to. And he will bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
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。
Jehovah will establish thee for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to thee, if thou shall keep the commandments of Jehovah thy 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。
And all the peoples of the earth shall see that thou are called by the name of Jehovah, and they shall be afraid of thee.
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。
And Jehovah will make thee plenteous for good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which Jehovah swore to thy fathers to give thee.
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。
Jehovah will open to thee his good treasure the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand. And thou shall lend to many nations, and thou shall 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。」
And Jehovah will make thee the head, and not the tail. And thou shall only be above, and thou shall not be beneath, if thou shall hearken to the commandments of Jehovah thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do,
and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, 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 it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
16 你在城裏必受咒詛，在田間也必受咒詛。
Cursed shall thou be in the city, and cursed shall thou be in the field.
17 你的筐子和你的摶麵盆都必受咒詛。
Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
18 你身所生的，地所產的，以及牛犢、羊羔，都必受咒詛。
Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock.
19 你出也受咒詛，入也受咒詛。
Cursed shall thou be when thou come in, and cursed shall thou be when thou 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。
Jehovah will send upon thee cursing, discomfiture, and rebuke, in all that thou put thy hand to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly, because of the evil of thy doings, by which thou 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。
Jehovah will make the pestilence cling to thee, until he has consumed thee from off the land, where thou go in to possess it.
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。
Jehovah will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew. And they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
23 你頭上的天要變為銅，腳下的地要變為鐵。
And thy sky that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall 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。
Jehovah will make the rain of thy land powder and dust. From the sky it shall come down upon thee, until thou be 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。
Jehovah will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies. Thou shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them. And thou shall 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。
And thy dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth, and there shall be none 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。
Jehovah will smite thee with the boil of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which thou cannot be healed.
28 耶和華必用癲狂、眼瞎、心驚攻擊你。
Jehovah will smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with confusion of mind,
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。
and thou shall grope at noonday, as the blind man gropes in darkness. And thou shall not prosper in thy ways. And thou shall only be oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save thee.
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。
Thou shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. Thou shall build a house, and thou shall not dwell in it. Thou shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it.
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。
Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shall not eat of it. Thy donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee. Thy sheep shall be given to thine enemies, and thou shall have none to save thee.
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。
Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another people. And thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day, and there shall be nothing in the power of thy 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 fruit of thy ground, and all thy labors, shall a nation eat up which thou know not. And thou shall only be oppressed and crushed always,
34 甚至你因眼中所看見的，必致瘋狂。
so that thou shall be mad because of the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see.
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。
Jehovah will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which thou cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot to the crown of thy 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。
Jehovah will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shall set over thee, to a nation that thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers. And there thou shall serve other gods, 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。
And thou shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Jehovah shall lead thee 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。
Thou shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in, for the locust shall 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。
Thou shall plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather, for the worm shall 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。
Thou shall have olive trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shall not anoint thyself with the oil, for thine olive shall drop off.
41 你生兒養女，卻不算是你的，因為必被擄去。
Thou shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity.
42 你所有的樹木和你地裏的出產必被蝗蟲所吃。
All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess.
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 sojourner who is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher, and thou shall 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 shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him. He shall be the head, and thou shall 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。
And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee,
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！
and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed 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 thou served not Jehovah thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things,
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 thou shall serve thine enemies that Jehovah shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things. And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he has destroyed thee.
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。
Jehovah will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies, a nation whose tongue thou shall 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 of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor 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。
and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed, that also shall not leave thee grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flock, until they have caused thee 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。
And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, in which thou trusted, throughout all thy land. And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which Jehovah thy God has given thee.
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。
And thou shall eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom Jehovah thy God has given thee, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemies shall distress thee.
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 among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his sons whom he has remaining,
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 that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his sons whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in all thy 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 adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward 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 toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her sons whom she shall bear, for she shall eat them secretly for want of all things, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in thy 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 thou will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou may fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD,
then Jehovah will make thy calamities extraordinary, and the calamities of thy seed, even great calamities and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses and of long continuance.
60 也必使你所懼怕、埃及人的病都臨到你，貼在你身上，
And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou were afraid of, and they shall cling to thee.
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 every calamity, which is not written in the book of this law, them Jehovah will bring upon thee, until thou be 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。
And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou did not hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy 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。
And it shall come to pass, that, as Jehovah rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Jehovah will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you. And ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou go in to possess it.
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。
And Jehovah will scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. And there thou shall serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers, even 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。
And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but Jehovah will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul.
66 你的性命必懸懸無定；你晝夜恐懼，自料性命難保。
And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of thy 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 thou shall say, Would it were evening! and at evening thou shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shall fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall 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。」
And Jehovah will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to thee, Thou shall see it no more again. And there ye shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondmen and for bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
