申命記 28
1 你若實在聽從上主你的天主的話，謹守遵行我今天吩咐你的這一切誡命，上主你的天主必使你遠超過地上所有的民族。
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee supreme above all nations of the earth;
2 如果你聽從上主你的天主的話，下面這些祝福必臨於你，來到你身上。
and all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God.
3 你在城內必蒙受祝福，在鄉下也必蒙受祝福。
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 你身所生的，田地所產的，牲畜所出的，牛所生殖的，羊所產下的，都要蒙受祝福。

Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
6 你進來，蒙受祝福；你出去，也蒙受祝福。
Blessed shalt thou be in thy coming in, and blessed shalt thou be in thy going out.
7 起來攻擊你的仇敵，上主必使他們在你面前崩潰；他們由一路來攻擊你，卻分七路由你面前逃去。
Jehovah will give up, smitten before thee, thine enemies that rise up against thee; they shall come out against thee one way, and by seven ways shall they flee before thee.
8 上主決定對你的倉廩和在你著手進行的事上祝福你。
Jehovah will command blessing on thee in thy granaries, and in all the business of thy hand; and he will bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
9 只要你謹守上主你的天主的誡命，遵行他的道路，上主必要照他誓許於你的，立你為他自己的聖民；
Jehovah will establish thee unto himself a holy people as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 普世萬民一見你屬於上主的名下，必都怕你。
And all peoples of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of Jehovah, and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 在上主你的天主向你祖先起誓要賜給你的土地上，上主必使你滿享幸福：兒女眾多，牲畜繁殖，地產豐富。
And Jehovah will give thee abundance of good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land that Jehovah swore unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 上主必為你大開天上的寶庫，給你的田地降下時雨，祝福你手所做的一切；你要借給許多民族，而你卻無須向人借貸。
Jehovah will open to thee his good treasure, the heavens, to give rain unto thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow.
13 上主必立你為首，而不做尾巴，你常是高高在上，而總不屈居在下，只要你聽從我今天吩咐你的上主你天主的誡命，並謹守遵行，
And Jehovah will make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah thy God, which I command thee this day, to keep and to do them,
14 不左右偏離我今天吩咐你們的一切話，去跟隨事奉其他的神。
and if thou turn not aside from any of the words that I command thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 但是，如果你不聽從上主你天主的話，不謹守遵行我今天吩咐你的上主的一切誡命和法令，下面這些咒罵必要臨於你，來到你身上。
But it shall come to pass if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed 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 你在城內必遭受咒罵，在鄉下也必遭受咒罵。
Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17 你的筐籃，你的揉麵盆，都要遭受咒罵。
Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
18 你身所生的，田地所產的，牛所生殖的，羊所產下的，都要遭受咒罵。
Cursed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep.
19 你進來，必遭受咒罵；
Cursed shalt thou be in thy coming in, and cursed shalt thou be in thy going out.
20 你出去也必遭受咒罵。上主在你著手進行的一切事上，必使你遭受災難、困擾和恐嚇，直到你完全毀滅，迅速滅亡，因為你作惡，離棄了我。
Jehovah will send upon thee cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all the business of thy hand which thou doest, until thou be destroyed and until thou perish quickly, because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
21 上主必使你瘟疫纏身，直到將你由你要去佔領的地上完全消滅。
Jehovah will make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
22 上主必用癆病、熱病、瘧疾、炎熱、乾旱、熱風和霉爛打擊你；這些災殃必追擊你，直到你滅亡。
Jehovah will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with burning ague, and with drought, and with blight, and with mildew, and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
23 你頭上的天將變為銅，你下面的地將變為鐵。
And thy heavens which are over thy head shall be brass, and the earth which is under thee, iron.
24 上主必使雨變成灰沙降在你的田地裏，由天上降在你身上，直到你完全毀滅。
Jehovah will give as the rain of thy land powder and dust; from the heavens shall it come down upon thee until thou be destroyed.
25 上主必使你在仇敵面前崩潰；你由一路出擊他們，卻分七路由他們前逃去；你要成為普世萬國驚駭的對象。
Jehovah will give thee up smitten before thine enemies; thou shalt go out against them one way, and by seven ways shalt thou flee before them; and thou shalt be driven hither and thither into all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 你的屍首必成為天空飛鳥，和地上走獸的食物；無人來將牠們嚇走。
And thy carcase shall be meat unto all the fowl of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and there shall be no man to scare them away.
27 上主必用埃及的膿瘡、痔漏、癬疥紅疹打擊你，使你無法醫治。
Jehovah will smite thee with the ulcers of Egypt, and with boils, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28 上主必用癲狂、眼瞎和心亂打擊你；
Jehovah will smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;
29 在正午時，你要摸索有如在黑暗中摸索的瞎子；你的所作所為決不會順利；你必日日受人壓迫剝削，而無人援助。
and thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways; and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled continually, and there shall be none to save.
30 你與一女子訂婚，別人卻來與她同寢；你建築一座房屋，卻不得住在裏面；你栽植葡萄園，卻得不到享用。
Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her; thou shalt build a house, and thou shalt not dwell therein; thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not eat of it.
31 你的牛在你眼前被殺，你卻不能吃牠的肉；你的驢由你眼前被人搶去，再不歸還給你；你的羊群被交給你的敵人，卻無人來援助你。
Thine ox shall be slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof; thine ass shall be snatched away from before thy face, and shall not return to thee; thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to recover them.
32 你的兒女被交給外方民族，你只有雙眼張望，日日為他們焦慮，但你卻無能為力。
Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and languish for them all the day long; and there shall be no power in thy hand [to help it].
33 你田地的出產和你勞力之所得，卻為你不認識的一個民族吃盡；你只有時時被人壓迫蹂躪；
The fruit of thy ground and all thy labour, shall a people that thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed continually.
34 你必要因你親眼所見的事而變為瘋狂。
And thou shalt be mad through the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
35 上主必用惡瘡打擊你的膝和腿，由腫至頂，使你無法醫治。
Jehovah will smite thee in the knees and in the legs with evil ulcers, whereof thou canst not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
36 上主你將你和你所立的統治你的君王，送到你和你祖先不認識的一個民族那裏去，在那裏你要事奉別的神，即木石所製的神。
Jehovah will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation that neither thou nor thy fathers have known, and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
37 在上主要送你去的各民族中，你必成為驚駭、嘲笑和諷刺的對象。
And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples whither Jehovah shall lead thee.
38 你在田間撒的種子雖然很多，但收穫的卻很少，因為蝗蟲要來吃盡。
Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather little in; for the locust shall devour it.
39 你雖然栽種修剪葡萄園，卻沒有酒喝，沒有收成，因為都要為蟲子吃盡。
Thou shalt plant and till vineyards, but shalt drink no wine, nor gather [the fruit]; for the worms shall eat it.
40 你雖然在全境栽有橄欖樹，卻沒有油抹身，因為橄欖要遂結遂落。
Olive-trees shalt thou have throughout all thy borders, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with oil; for thine olive-tree shall cast its fruit.
41 你雖然生子養女，但他們卻不屬於你，因為他們要被擄去。
Sons and daughters shalt thou beget, but thou shalt not have them [to be with thee]; for they shall go into captivity.
42 害蟲要吃盡你所有的樹木和土地的出產。
All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess.
43 住在你中間的外方人不斷發達興旺，遠在你以上，你反而日趨卑下。
The sojourner that is in thy midst shall rise above thee higher and higher, and thou shalt sink down lower and lower.
44 他要借給你，你卻不能借給他；他要為首，你卻要做尾巴。
He shall lend to thee, but thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
45 這一切咒罵必臨於你，追擊你，來到你身上，直到你全被消滅，因為你沒有聽從上主你天主的話，沒有遵守他吩咐你的誡命和法令。
And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, until thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee.
46 這些咒罵對你和你的子孫，永遠是一個徽號和徵兆。
And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47 因為在財物富裕時，你沒有誠心悅意地去事奉上主你的天主，
Because thou servedst not Jehovah thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything,
48 你必在飢渴，赤身露體，一無所有中，服侍上主派來攻擊你的仇敵；他必將鐵軛放在你的頸上，直到將你消滅。
thou shalt serve thine enemies whom Jehovah will send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of everything; and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
49 上主必由遠方，由地極引來一個民族，像鷹一樣撲擊你；這民族的語言，你不明瞭；
Jehovah will bring a nation against thee from afar, from the end of the earth, like as the eagle flieth, a nation whose tongue thou understandest not;
50 這民族又鐵面無情，不敬老，不恤幼；
a nation of fierce countenance, which regardeth not the person of the old, nor is kind to the young;
51 他必吞食你家畜的幼雛，和田地的產物，直到你被消滅；必不給你留下什麼穀、米、酒、油、牛犢或羔羊，直到將你完全毀滅。
and he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed; for he shall not leave thee corn, new wine, or oil, offspring of thy kine, or increase of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
52 他必將你圍困在所有的城鎮內，直到你全國內所依恃的高大堅固的城牆都被攻陷；當你被圍困在上主你天主賜給你的全境各城鎮內時，
And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and strong walls wherein thou trustedst come down, throughout all thy land; and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates in all thy land, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee.
53 在你被仇敵圍困的窮困中，你要吃你自身所生，即上主你天主賜給你子女的肉。
And in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee, thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters whom Jehovah thy God hath given thee.
54 你中間最溫柔嬌嫩的男人，這時對自己的兄弟、懷中的妻子、尚存的子女，也必冷眼相看，
The eye of the man in thy midst that is tender and very luxurious shall be evil towards his brother, and the wife of his bosom, and the residue of his children which he hath left;
55 不願將他所吃的子女的肉，分給他們任何人，因為在你的仇敵使你在各城鎮受圍困陷於絕境時，已一無所剩。
so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children that he eateth, because he hath nothing left him in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56 你中間最溫柔嬌嫩的女人，先前嬌嫩溫柔得連腳都不踏在地上，這時對自己懷中的丈夫、自己的子女、也要冷眼相看，
The eye of the tender and luxurious woman in thy midst who would not attempt to set the sole of her foot upon the ground from luxuriousness and from tenderness, shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and her son, and her daughter,
57 暗中將她兩腿間脫出的胞衣，和她所生的子女吃掉，因為在你的仇敵使你在各城鎮中受圍困，陷於窮困時，已一無所有。
because of her afterbirth which hath come out between her feet, and her children whom she shall bear; for she shall secretly eat them for want of everything in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
58 如果你不謹守遵行這書上所記的法律的一切條文，敬畏這光榮可畏的名號：上主你的天主，
If thou wilt not take heed to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, to fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD;
59 上主必使你和你的後裔遭受更奇特的災害，大而且久的災害，毒而且頑的疾病；
then Jehovah will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, great and persistent plagues and evil and persistent sicknesses;
60 必使你所怕的各種埃及病災發生在你身上，纏繞著你。
and he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt which thou art afraid of, and they shall cleave unto thee.
61 此外，在在這法律書上所沒有記載的一切疾病和災害，上主也要引來降在你身上，直到將你完全消滅。
Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this law, them will Jehovah bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
62 你們以前雖然多如天上的繁星，你們所留下的，卻寥寥無幾，因為你沒有聽從上主你天主的話。
And ye shall be left a small company, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God.
63 有如上主先前怎樣喜歡你們獲得幸福，使你們人數眾多，將來也要怎樣喜歡你們衰落，使你們滅亡，使你們由你要去佔領的地上盡被剷除。
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 whereunto thou goest to possess it.
64 上主要將你分散在大地兩極間所有人民中，你要在那裏事奉你和你祖先所不認識的外神，即木石之神；
And Jehovah will scatter thee among all peoples, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; and thou shalt there serve other gods, whom thou hast not known, neither thou nor thy fathers, wood and stone.
65 而且在這些民族中，你總得不到安寧，也找不到一塊歇腳的地方；上主在那裏必使你心情煩亂，眼目憔悴，精神頹喪。
And among these nations shalt thou have no rest, neither shall the sole of thy foot have a resting-place, and Jehovah shall give thee there a trembling heart, languishing of the eyes, and pining of the soul.
66 你未來的生活必提心吊膽，日夜驚惶；生命毫無保障。
And thy life shall hang in suspense before thee; and thou shalt be in terror day and night and shalt be afraid of thy life.
67 因你心情恐慌，因你眼見的景象，早晨你要說：「巴不得現在是晚上! 」到了晚上你又要說：「巴不得現在是早晨! 」
In the morning thou shalt say, Would that it were even! and in the evening thou shalt say, Would that it were morning! through the fright of thy heart wherewith thou shalt be in terror, and through the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
68 上主要用船將你送回埃及，走我曾告訴你，你不會再見的那條路；在那裏你們雖自願將自己賣給你的仇敵為奴為婢，卻無人肯買。
And Jehovah will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee, Thou shalt see it again no more; and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and there shall be no man to buy [you].
