Deuteronomy 28
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou wilt indeed hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and do all these commands, which I charge thee this day, that the Lord thy God shall set thee on high above all the nations of the earth;
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。
2 and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and shall find thee. If thou wilt indeed hear the voice of the Lord thy God,
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。
3 blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
你在城內必蒙受祝福，在鄉下也必蒙受祝福。
4 Blessed shall be the offspring of thy body, and the fruits of thy land, and the herds of thy oxen, and the flocks of thy sheep.
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。
5 Blessed shall be thy barns, and thy stores.
你的筐籃，你的揉麵盆，都要蒙受祝福。
6 Blessed shalt thou be in thy coming in, and blessed shalt thou be in thy going out.
你進來，蒙受祝福；你出去，也蒙受祝福。
7 The Lord deliver thine enemies that withstand thee utterly broken before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and they shall flee seven ways from before thee.
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。
8 The Lord send upon thee his blessing in thy barns, and on all on which thou shalt put thine hand, in the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.
上主決定對你的倉廩和在你著手進行的事上祝福你。
9 The Lord raise thee up for himself a holy people, as he sware to thy fathers; if thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and walk in all his ways.
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；
10 And all the nations of the earth shall see thee, that the name of the Lord is called upon thee, and they shall stand in awe of thee.
普世萬民一見你屬於上主的名下，必都怕你。
11 And the Lord thy God shall multiply thee for good in the offspring of thy body, and in the offspring of thy cattle, and in the fruits of thy land, on thy land which the Lord sware to thy fathers to give to thee.
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。
12 May the Lord open to thee his good treasure, the heaven, to give rain to thy land in season: may he bless all the works of thy hands: so shalt thou lend to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.
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。
13 The Lord thy God make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt then be above and thou shalt not be below, if thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, in all things that I charge thee this day to observe.
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，
14 Thou shalt not turn aside from any of the commandments, which I charge thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
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。
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe all his commandments, as many as I charge thee this day, then all these curses shall come on thee, and overtake thee.
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。
16 Cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
你在城內必遭受咒罵，在鄉下也必遭受咒罵。
17 Cursed shall be thy barns and thy stores.
你的筐籃，你的揉麵盆，都要遭受咒罵。
18 Cursed shall be the offspring of thy body, and the fruits of thy land, the herds of thine oxen, and the flocks of thy sheep.
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。
19 Cursed shalt thou be in thy coming in, and cursed shalt thou be in thy going out.

20 The Lord send upon thee want, and famine, and consumption of all things on which thou shalt put thy hand, until he shall have utterly destroyed thee, and until he shall have consumed thee quickly because of thine evil devices, because thou hast forsaken me.
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。
21 The Lord cause the pestilence to cleave to thee, until he shall have consumed thee off the land into which thou goest to inherit it.
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。

你頭上的天將變為銅，你下面的地將變為鐵。
24 The Lord thy God make the rain of thy land dust; and dust shall come down from heaven, until it shall have destroyed thee, and until it shall have quickly consumed thee.

25 The Lord give thee up for slaughter before thine enemies: thou shalt go out against them one way, and flee from their face seven ways; and thou shalt be a dispersion in all the kingdoms of the earth.
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。
26 And your dead men shall be food to the birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to scare them away.

29 And thou shalt grope at mid-day, as a blind man would grope in the darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways; and then thou shalt be unjustly treated, and plundered continually, and there shall be no helper.
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。
30 thou shalt take a wife, and another man shall have her; thou shalt build a house, and thou shalt not dwell in it; thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes of it.
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。

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。
32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another nation, and thine eyes wasting away shall look for them: thine hand shall have no strength.
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。
33 A nation which thou knowest not shall eat the produce of thy land, and all thy labours; and thou shalt be injured and crushed always.
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；
34 And thou shalt be distracted, because of the sights of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
你必要因你親眼所見的事而變為瘋狂。

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。
37 An thou shalt be there for a wonder, and a parable, and a tale, among all the nations, to which the Lord thy God shall carry thee away.
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。

44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
他要借給你，你卻不能借給他；他要為首，你卻要做尾巴。
45 And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and shall overtake thee, until he shall have consumed thee, and until he shall have destroyed thee; because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commands, and his ordinances which he has commanded thee.
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。
46 And [these things] shall be signs in thee, and wonders among thy seed for ever;
這些咒罵對你和你的子孫，永遠是一個徽號和徵兆。
47 because thou didst not serve the Lord thy God with gladness and a good heart, because of the abundance of all things.
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，

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；
50 a nation bold in countenance, which shall not respect the person of the aged and shall not pity the young.
這民族又鐵面無情，不敬老，不恤幼；
51 And it shall eat up the young of thy cattle, and the fruits of thy land, so as not to leave to thee corn, wine, oil, the herds of thine oxen, and the flocks of thy sheep, until it shall have destroyed thee;
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 and have utterly crushed thee in thy cities, until the high and strong walls be destroyed, in which thou trustest, in all thy land; and it shall afflict thee in thy cities, which he has given to thee.
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，
53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thy body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, all that he has given thee, in thy straitness and thy affliction, with which thine enemy shall afflict thee.
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。
54 He that is tender and very delicate within thee shall look with an evil eye upon his brother, and the wife in his bosom, and the children that are left, which may have been left to him;
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，
55 so as [not] to give to one of them of the flesh of his children, whom he shall eat, because of his having nothing left him in thy straitness, and in thy affliction, with which thine enemies shall afflict thee in all thy cities.
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。
56 And she that is tender and delicate among you, whose foot has not assayed to go upon the earth for delicacy and tenderness, shall look with an evil eye on her husband in her bosom, and her son and her daughter,
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，
57 and her offspring that comes out between her feet, and the child which she shall bear; for she shall eat them because of the want of all things, secretly in thy straitness, and in thy affliction, with which thine enemy shall afflict thee in thy cities.
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。
58 If thou wilt not hearken to do all the words of this law, which have been written in this book, to fear this glorious and wonderful name, the Lord thy God;
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，
59 then the Lord shall magnify thy plagues, and the plagues of thy seed, great and wonderful plagues, and evil and abiding diseases.
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；
60 And he shall bring upon thee all the evil pain of Egypt, of which thou wast afraid, and they shall cleave to thee.
必使你所怕的各種埃及病災發生在你身上，纏繞著你。
61 And the Lord shall bring upon thee every sickness, and every plague that is not written, and every one that is written in the book of this law, until he shall have destroyed thee.
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。
62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of the sky in multitude; because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God.
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。
63 And it shall come to pass that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you; and ye shall be quickly removed from the land, into which ye go to inherit it.
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。
64 And the Lord thy God shall scatter thee among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other; and thou shalt there serve other gods, wood and stone, which thou hast not known, nor thy fathers.
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；
65 Moreover among those nations he will not give thee quiet, neither by any means shall the sole of thy foot have rest; and the Lord shall give thee there another and a misgiving heart, and failing eyes, and a wasting soul.
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。
66 And thy life shall be in suspense before thine eyes; and thou shalt be afraid by day and by night, and thou shalt have no assurance of thy life.
你未來的生活必提心吊膽，日夜驚惶；生命毫無保障。
67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would it were evening! and in the evening thou shalt say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thine heart with which thou shalt fear, and for the sights of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
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! 」
68 And the Lord shall bring thee back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said, Thou shalt not see it again; and ye shall be sold there to your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and none shall buy you.
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。
