Leviticus 26
1 Ye shall make for you no idols. Neither shall ye rear up for you a graven image, or a pillar. Neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.
Ye shall not make unto you idols, —neither image nor pillar, shall ye set up for yourselves, nor sculptured stone, shall ye place in your land, to bow yourselves down thereunto, -For, I Yahweh, am your God.
2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am Jehovah.
My sabbaths, shall ye observe, And, my sanctuary, shall ye revere, —I, am Yahweh.
3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them,
If, in my statutes, ye will walk, —And my commandments, ye will observe, and do them,
4 then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Then will I give your rains in their season, —And the land shall yield her increase, And, the trees of the field, shall yield their fruit.
5 And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time, and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
Then shall your threshing reach unto the vintage, And, the vintage, shall reach unto the seedtime, —And ye shall eat your food to the full, And shall dwell securely in your land.
6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. And I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, nor shall the sword go through your land.
And I will give peace in the land, And ye shall lie down, and nothing shall make you afraid; And I will take away vicious beasts out of the land; And, the sword, shall not go through your land.
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
And ye shall chase your foes, —And they shall fall before you by the sword;
8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
And, five, of you shall chase, a hundred, And, a hundred, of you shall put ten thousand to flight, —So shall your foes fall before you, by the sword.
9 And I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.
And I will turn unto you, And make you fruitful, —And multiply you, And will establish my covenant with you.
10 And ye shall eat old storage long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old because of the new.
And ye shall eat old store well seasoned, —And the old from before the new, shall ye put forth.
11 And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you.
And I will set my habitation in your midst, —And my soul shall not abhor you;
12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
But I will walk to and fro in your midst, And will be unto you a God, And, ye, shall be unto me a people.
13 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen. And I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.
I—Yahweh, am your God who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; so I brake in pieces the staves of your yoke, and caused you to walk, erect.
14 But if ye will not hearken to me, and will not do all these commandments,
But, if ye will not hearken unto me, And will not do all these commandments;
15 and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant,
And if, my statutes, ye refuse, And, my regulations, your souls shall abhor, —So that ye will not do all my commandments, But shall break my covenant
16 I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. And ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
I also, will do this unto you—I will set over you, for terror, consumption and fever, Causing the eyes to fail and the soul to pine away, —And ye shall sow, in vain, your seed, for it shall be eaten by your foes.
17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies. Those who hate you shall rule over you, and ye shall flee when no man pursues you.
And I will set my face against you, And ye shall be smitten before your foes, -And be trodden down by them who hate you, And shall flee when no one is pursuing you.
18 And if for these things ye will not yet hearken to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.
And, if even with these things, ye will not hearken unto me, Then will I yet further correct you seven times, for your sins.
19 And I will break the pride of your power. And I will make your sky as iron, and your earth as brass,
So will I break your pomp of power, And will set your heavens as iron, and your land as bronze;
20 and your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its increase, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
And your strength shall be spent in vain, —And your land shall not yield her increase, And the trees of the land, shall not yield their fruit.
21 And if ye walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
If therefore, ye will go in opposition to me, And not be willing to hearken unto me, Then will I yet further plague you seven times according to your sins;
22 And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your sons, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number, and your ways shall become desolate.
And will send among you the wild-beast of the field And it shall rob you of your children, And cut off your cattle, And make you few in number; And your roads shall be silent.
23 And if by these things ye will not be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me,
And, if, by these things, ye will not be corrected by me, —But will go in opposition to me,
24 then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.
Then will, I also, go in opposition to you. And, I, even I, will plague you seven times for your sins;
25 And I will bring a sword upon you that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together within your cities. And I will send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
And will bring in upon you a sword that shall inflict the covenanted avenging: So shall ye be gathered into your cities, —Then will I send a pestilence into your midst, And ye shall be delivered into the hand of an enemy.
26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight, and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
When I have broken your staff of bread, then shall ten women bake your bread in one oven, And give back your bread by weight, —And ye shall eat and not be filled.
27 And if for all this ye will not hearken to me, but walk contrary to me,
And, if, with this, ye will not hearken to me, —But will go in opposition to me,
28 then I will walk contrary to you in wrath, and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.
Then will I go in a rage of opposition to you, —And I, even I, will correct you seven times for your sins;
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters ye shall eat.
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, —Yea, even the flesh of your daughters, shall ye eat.
30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
And I will destroy your high places And cut down your sun-pillars, And cast your carcases upon the carcases of your manufactured gods, —Thus shall my soul abhor you.
31 And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.
And I will give your cities unto desolation, And make your holy places dumb, —And will find no fragrance in your satisfying odour;
32 And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
And, I, will make the land dumb, And your foes that dwell therein shall regard it with dumb amazement:
33 And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.
When, even you, I scatter among the nations, And make bare after you, a sword, Then shall your land become an astonishment, And your cities become a desolation.
34 Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land, even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.
Then, shall the land be paid her sabbaths, All the days she lieth desolate, While, ye, are in the land of your foes, —Then, shall the land keep sabbath, And pay off her sabbaths:
35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
All the days she lieth desolate, shall she keep sabbath, —the which she kept not as your sabbaths, —while ye dwelt thereupon.
36 And as for those who are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as a man flees from the sword, and they shall fall when no man pursues.
And as for such as are left of you, Then will I bring faintness into their heart, in the lands of their foes, —So that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, And they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword And they shall fall, when no one is pursuing;
37 And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when no man pursues. And ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
And they shall stumble one upon another as from before a sword, when, pursuer there is none; And ye shall not have wherewith to stand before your foes;
38 And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
And ye shall perish among the nations, —And the land of your foes shall eat you up;
39 And those who are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands, and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.
And they who are left of you, shall melt away in their iniquity, in the lands of your foes; Yea also, in the iniquity of their fathers with them, shall they melt away.
40 And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,
Then shall they confess their iniquity, And the iniquity of their fathers, In their unfaithfulness wherewith they had been unfaithful towards me; Yea moreover, because they had gone in opposition to me,
41 I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity,
I also, must needs go in opposition to them, and bring them into the land of their foes, —Save only that, if, even then, their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, And, even then, they shall accept as a payment the punishment of their iniquity,
42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land.
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob Yea moreover, my covenant with Isaac, Yea moreover, my covenant with Abraham, will I remember; And the land, will I remember.
43 The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. And they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.
For, the land, shall be left of them, And shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them, They also, accepting, as a payment, the punishment of their iniquity, Because, yea because, my regulations, they refused, And my statutes, their soul abhorred.
44 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them, for I am Jehovah their God,
And yet even so when they are in the land of their foes I have not refused them Neither have I abhorred them To make an end of them, To break my covenant with them, —For, I—Yahweh, am their God.
45 but for their sakes I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Jehovah.
Therefore will I remember in their behalf the covenant of their ancestors, —Whom, I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God—I—Yahweh.
46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which Jehovah made between him and the sons of Israel at mount Sinai by Moses.
These are the statutes and the regulations and the laws, which Yahweh granted between himself, and the sons of Israel, —in Mount Sinai by the mediation of Moses.
