It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the voice of Jehovah your God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you this day, that Jehovah your God will set you 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 on you, and overtake you, if you shall listen to the voice of Jehovah your God.

Jehovah will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you 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 on you in your storehouses, and in all that you put your hand to; and he will bless you in the land which Jehovah your God gives you.
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 you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you; if you shall keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and walk in his ways.

All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of Jehovah; and they shall be afraid of you.
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。
Jehovah will make you plenteous for good, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you.
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 you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many nations, and you 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。」
Jehovah will make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if you shall listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you 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 you will not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you this day, that all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you.

19 你出也受咒詛，入也受咒詛。
You shall be cursed when you come in, and you shall be cursed when you 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 on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the evil of your doings, by which you 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。

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。

Your sky that is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth that is under you 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 your land powder and dust: from the sky shall it come down on you, until you are 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 you to be struck before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them: and you shall be tossed back and forth 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。
Your dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals 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 strike you with the boil of Egypt, and with the tumors, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.
28 耶和華必用癲狂、眼瞎、心驚攻擊你。
Jehovah will strike you with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;
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 you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways: and you shall be only oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save you.
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。
You shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell in it: you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use its fruit.
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。
Your ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall not eat of it: your donkey shall be violently taken away from before your face, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have none to save you.
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。
Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people; and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day: and there shall be nothing in the power of your 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 your ground, and all your labors, shall a nation which you do not know eat up; and you shall be only oppressed and crushed always;
34 甚至你因眼中所看見的，必致瘋狂。
so that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you 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 strike you in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which you can not be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your 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 you, and your king whom you shall set over you, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers; and there you 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。
You shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Jehovah shall lead you 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。
You 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。
You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine, nor harvest; 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。
You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off.
41 你生兒養女，卻不算是你的，因為必被擄去。
You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; 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 your trees and the fruit of your 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 foreigner who is in the midst of you shall mount up above you higher and higher; and you 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 you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you 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。
All these curses shall come on you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, until you are destroyed; because you did not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you:
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 on you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your descendants 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 you did not serve Jehovah your 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 you shall serve your enemies whom Jehovah shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck, until he has destroyed you.
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 you from far away, from a distant land, as the eagle flies; a nation whose language you 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 facial expressions, that shall not respect 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 your livestock, and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; that also shall not leave you grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of your livestock, or the young of your flock, until they have caused you 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。
They shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fortified walls come down, in which you trusted, throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which Jehovah your God has given you.
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。
You shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Jehovah your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you.
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 children 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 children whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your 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 on 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 children whom she shall bear; for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your 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 you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, Jehovah your God;
then Jehovah will make your plagues extraordinary, and the plagues of your descendants, even great plagues, 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，
He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they shall cling to you.
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 plague, which is not written in the book of this law, Jehovah will bring them on you, until you are 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。
You shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the sky for multitude; because you did not listen to the voice of Jehovah your 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。
It shall happen 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 you shall be plucked from off the land where you 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。
Jehovah will scatter you among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, which you have not known, you nor your 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。
Among these nations you shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Jehovah will give you 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 your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of your 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 you shall say, "I wish it were evening." and at evening you shall say, "I wish it were morning." for the fear of your heart which you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you 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。」
Jehovah will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to you, You shall see it no more again: and there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondservants and for bondmaids, and no man shall buy you.
