And ye Lord shall smite thee with madnes, and with blindnes, and with astonying of heart.

He shall lend thee, and thou shalt not lend him: he shalbe the head, and thou shalt be ye tayle.
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。
Moreouer, all these curses shall come vpon thee, and shall pursue thee and ouertake thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou obeyedst not the voyce of the Lord thy God, to keepe his commandements, and his ordinances, 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 shalbe vpon thee for signes and wonders, and vpon thy seede for euer,
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 seruedst not the Lord thy God with ioyfulnesse and with a good heart for the abundance of all things.
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。

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；
The Lord shall bring a nation vpon thee from farre, euen from the ende of the world, flying swift as an Egle: a nation whose tongue thou shalt not vnderstand:

A nation of a fierce countenance, which will not regarde the person of the olde, nor haue compassion of the yong.
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。

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 cities, vntill thine hie and strong walles fall downe, wherein thou trustedst in all the lande: and hee shall besiege thee in all thy cities throughout all thy lande, which the Lord thy God hath giuen 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 thou shalt eate the fruite of thy bodie: euen the flesh of thy sonnes and thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath giuen thee, during the siege and straitnesse wherein thine enemie shall inclose 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，
So that the man (that is tender and exceeding deintie among you) shalbe grieued at his brother, and at his wife, that lieth in his bosome, and at the remnant of his children, which hee hath yet 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。
For feare of giuing vnto any of them of the flesh of his children, whom he shall eate, because he hath nothing left him in that siege, and straitnesse, wherewith thine enemie shall besiege thee in all thy cities.
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 tender and deintie woman among you, which neuer woulde venture to set the sole of her foote vpon the grounde (for her softnesse and tendernesse) shalbe grieued at her husband that lieth in her bosome, and at her sonne, and at 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。
And at her afterbirth (that shall come out from betweene her feete) and at her childre, which she shall beare: for when all things lacke, she shall eate them secretly, during the siege and straitnesse, wherewith thine enemie shall besiege thee in thy cities.
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 keepe and doe all the wordes of the Lawe (that are written in this booke) and feare this glorious and feareful name The Lord 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；
The the Lord wil make thy plagues wonderfull, and the plagues of thy seede, euen great plagues and of long continuance, and sore diseases, and of long durance.
60 必使你所怕的各種埃及病災發生在你身上，纏繞著你。
Moreouer, he will bring vpon thee all the diseases of Egypt, whereof thou wast afraide, and they shall cleaue vnto 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。
And euery sickenesse, and euery plague, which is not written in the booke of this Lawe, will the Lord heape vpon thee, vntill 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 few in nomber, where ye were as the starres of heauen in multitude, because thou wouldest not obey the voyce of the Lord 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 as the Lord hath reioyced ouer you, to doe you good, and to multiply you, so he will reioyce ouer you, to destroy you, and bring you to nought, and ye shalbe rooted out of the land, whither thou goest to possesse 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 the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one ende of the worlde vnto the other, and there thou shalt serue other gods, which thou hast not knowen nor thy fathers, euen 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。
Also among these nations thou shalt finde no rest, neither shall the sole of thy foote haue rest: for the Lord shall giue thee there a trembling heart, and looking to returne till thine eyes fall out, and a sorowfull minde.
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 before thee, and thou shalt feare both night and day, and shalt haue none assurance 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, Woulde God it were euening, and at the euening thou shalt say, Would God it were morning, for ye feare of thine heart, which thou shalt feare, and for 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 the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt againe with shippes by the way, whereof I saide vnto thee, Thou shalt see it no more againe: and there yee shall sell your selues vnto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and there shalbe no byer.
