< 申命记 28 >
1 “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。
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 你若听从耶和华—你 神的话,这以下的福必追随你,临到你身上:
and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shall hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God:
Blessed shall thou be in the city, and blessed shall thou be in the field.
4 你身所生的,地所产的,牲畜所下的,以及牛犊、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.
Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
Blessed shall thou be when thou come in, and blessed shall thou be when thou go out.
7 “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。
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。
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。
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.
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。
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。
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。”
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:
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:
Cursed shall thou be in the city, and cursed shall thou be in the field.
Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
18 你身所生的,地所产的,以及牛犊、羊羔,都必受咒诅。
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.
Cursed shall thou be when thou come in, and cursed shall thou be when thou go out.
20 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。
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。
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。
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.
And thy sky that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
24 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。
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。
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 你的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的走兽作食物,并无人哄赶。
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。
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.
Jehovah will smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with confusion of mind,
29 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。
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,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。
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。
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。
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,
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,
so that thou shall be mad because of the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see.
35 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。
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。
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 你在耶和华领你到的各国中,要令人惊骇、笑谈、讥诮。
And thou shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Jehovah shall lead thee away.
38 你带到田间的种子虽多,收进来的却少,因为被蝗虫吃了。
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。
Thou shall plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather, for the worm shall eat them.
40 你全境有橄榄树,却不得其油抹身,因为树上的橄榄不熟自落了。
Thou shall have olive trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shall not anoint thyself with the oil, for thine olive shall drop off.
Thou shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity.
All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess.
43 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。
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 他必借给你,你却不能借给他;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 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。
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 这些咒诅必在你和你后裔的身上成为异迹奇事,直到永远!
and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed forever.
47 “因为你富有的时候,不欢心乐意地事奉耶和华—你的 神,
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。
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。
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 这民的面貌凶恶,不顾恤年老的,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。
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。
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。
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;
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。
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。
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。
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 “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,
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 也必使你所惧怕、埃及人的病都临到你,贴在你身上,
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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 你的性命必悬悬无定;你昼夜恐惧,自料性命难保。
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。
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。”
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.
