The Lord will open his excellent treasury, the heavens, so that it may distribute rain in due time. And he will bless all the works of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you yourself will borrow nothing from anyone.

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 Nang lathueng thoseh, na catounnaw lathueng thoseh, pout laipalah mitnoutnae kângairu hno lah ao han.
And there will be the signs and portents with you, and with your offspring, forever.

Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.

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.
49 Ahla poungnae koe e miphunnaw hah nangmouh tuk sak hanelah, BAWIPA ni patoun vaiteh, mataw kamleng e patetlah a tho awh han.
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 A lawk na thai awh hoeh e miphun, kacuenaw hai ka bari hoeh e miphun, kanawnaw hai ka pahren hoeh e miphun, ka matheng e miphun lah ao awh han.
a very insolent nation, which will show no deference to elders, nor take pity on little ones.
51 Na rawk awh hoehroukrak, taran ni na tuca, maitoca, talai a pawhik ca hane, cakang, misurtui, satui pueng nang hanelah pek mahoeh.
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 Na ram dawk e na kâuep e khopui rapannaw pueng a tip awh hoehroukrak, na khoram kaawm e pueng a kalup awh han. Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e na ram kaawm e pueng, na khoram kaawm e pueng dawk hai thoseh a kalup awh han.
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 Na taran ni khik na kalup dawkvah, na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e canu capa camosennaw e moinaw hah na ca awh han.
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 Na onae kho hah taran ni khik a kalup toteh,
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 a nuen kahawi e tongpa ni a takang lawi vah, amae hmau, a pahren e a yu, hoi a pek e a canu capanaw patenghai yah, rei van laipalah a ca han.
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 Na onae kho hah taran ni khik a kalup teh runae na kâhmo toteh, a takthai a naw lawi vah, talai patenghai ka coungroe boihoeh e napui ni hai, a pahren e a vâ, a canu hoi a capa patenghai hmawt ngai mahoeh.
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 A khe e camonaw hoi a thunnaw patenghai arulahoi a ca awh han.
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 Na BAWIPA Cathut, ka lentoe ni teh takikatho poung e min hah taki hanelah thoseh, hete kâlawk dawk thut lah kaawm e hete lawklungnaw pueng hah kâhruetcuet lahoi na tarawi hoeh pawiteh,
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 nange lacik hoi na ca catounnaw koe ka phat hane lacik hah atueng ka saw sak vaiteh, dam thai hoeh e kângairu han kawi hah BAWIPA Cathut ni a tho sak han.
then the Lord will increase your plagues, and the plagues of your offspring, plagues great and long-lasting, infirmities very grievous and continuous.
60 Hotnaw e hmalah, nang ni na taki e Izip ram e patawnae pueng hai BAWIPA ni nang dawk a pha sak han. Hotnaw teh nang dawk a kâbet awh han.
And he will turn back upon you all the afflictions of Egypt, which you fear, and these will cling to you.
61 Hothloilah, hete kâlawk cauk dawk thut lah kaawm hoeh e patawpanatnae lacik kaawm naw pueng hai, na rawk hoehroukrak BAWIPA ni nang dawk a pha sak han.
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 Kalvan e âsi yit touh na kapap awh nakunghai, BAWIPA Cathut e lawk na ngâi awh hoeh dawkvah, kayounca lah na o awh han.
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 BAWIPA ni nangmouh hanlah hawinae sak e hoi pungdaw sak hanelah a ngai e patetlah nangmouh lathueng rawknae pha sak hane hoi nangmouh raphoe e dawk a lunghawi teh, coe hanelah na kâen sin awh e ram thung hoi phawk lah na o awh han.
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 BAWIPA Cathut ni talai poutnae koehoi avanglah apoutnae koe totouh, miphun pueng koe na kâkahei sak han. Hawvah, na mintoenaw ni a panue awh hoeh e thing cathut, talung cathutnaw hah na bawk awh han.
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 Hote miphunnaw rahak vah, nang teh roumnae awm mahoeh. Na khok kâhatnae awm mahoeh. Lungtâsuenae, mit thayounnae, hoi lungthoengnae hah BAWIPA ni na poe han.
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 Nang teh karum khodai pout laipalah, lungpuennae hoi, kadout han na ou, ka hlout han na ou tie panuek laipalah na o han.
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 Na lungthung vah takinae, na mit hoi na hmu e hno dawkvah, nang ni amom vah tangmin a pha lei saw na ti vaiteh, tangmin vah, amom a pha lei saw na ti han.
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 Hote lam hah bout na hmawt awh mahoeh toe ka tie lam dawk hoi BAWIPA ni nang hah Izip ram lah lawng hoi bout na thak dawkvah, hote ram dawk sanpa sannu lah o hanelah, tarannaw koe na yo awh han. Hateiteh, apinihai nang hah na ran ngaihoeh telah Isarelnaw koe a dei awh han.
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.”
