Leviticus 26

1 “Don't make yourselves idols anywhere in your land and bow down to worship them, whether they are images or sacred pillars or stone sculptures. For I am the Lord your God.

Ye shall make you none idoles nor grauen image, neither reare you vp any pillar, neither shall ye set any image of stone in your land to bow downe to it: for I am the Lord your God.

2 Keep my Sabbaths and show respect for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

Ye shall keepe my Sabbaths, and reuerence my Sanctuarie: I am the Lord.

3 If you follow my rules and keep my regulations,

If ye walke in mine ordinances, and keepe my commandements, and doe them,

4 I will make sure it rains at the right time so that the ground will grow good crops and the fruit trees will be productive.

I will then sende you raine in due season, and the land shall yelde her increase, and the trees of the fielde shall giue her fruite.

5 Your time of threshing will last right up to the grape harvest, and the grape harvest until the time you have to sow again. You will have more than enough to eat and you will live in safety in your land.

And your threshing shall reache vnto the vintage, and the vintage shall reache vnto sowing time, and you shall eate your bread in plenteousnesse, and dwell in your land safely.

6 I will make sure your land is at peace. You will be able to sleep without being afraid of anything. I will get rid of dangerous animals from the land, and you will not suffer from any violent enemy attacks.

And I will sende peace in the land, and ye shall sleepe and none shall make you afraid: also I will rid euill beastes out of the lande, and the sworde shall not go through your lande.

7 You will chase your enemies, and kill them with the sword.

Also ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you vpon the sworde.

8 Five of you will kill one hundred, and one hundred of you will kill ten thousand. You will destroy your enemies.

And fiue of you shall chase an hundreth, and an hundreth of you shall put ten thousande to flight, and your enemies shall fall before you vpon the sworde.

9 I will come to help you, so you will reproduce and increase in numbers, and I will confirm my agreement with you.

For I will haue respect vnto you, and make you encrease, and multiplie you, and establish my couenant with you.

10 You'll still be eating your old stock of grain when you need to get rid of it so you can store the new grain.

Ye shall eate also olde store, and cary out olde because of the newe.

11 I will come and live with you—I certainly won't reject you.

And I will set my Tabernacle among you, and my soule shall not lothe you.

12 I shall always be right there with you. I will be your God, and you will be my people.

Also I will walke among you, and I wil be your God, and ye shalbe my people.

13 I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt so you wouldn't have to be slaves to the Egyptians any longer. I smashed the yoke that kept you bent down and helped you to stand up straight.

I am the Lord your God which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt, that yee should not be their bondmen, and I haue broken ye bonds of your yoke, and made you goe vpright.

14 But if you don't pay attention to me and do what I tell you;

But if ye will not obey me, nor do all these commandements,

15 if you reject my laws, hate my regulations, and refuse to follow my commandments, and consequently break my agreement,

And if ye shall despise mine ordinances, either if your soule abhorre my lawes, so that yee will not do all my commandements, but breake my couenant,

16 then this is what I am going to do to you: I will make you panic, and suffer from diseases like tuberculosis and fever that make you blind and drain your life away. It will be pointless for you to sow seed in your fields because your enemies will eat the harvest.

Then wil I also do this vnto you, I wil appoint ouer you fearefulnes, a consumption, and the burning ague to consume the eyes, and make the heart heauie, and you shall sowe your seede in vaine: for your enemies shall eate it:

17 I will turn against you, and you'll be defeated by your enemies. People who hate you will rule over you, and you'll run away even when there's no one chasing you!

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall fal before your enemies, and they that hate you, shall raigne ouer you, and yee shall flee when none pursueth you.

18 If after all this you still refuse to obey me, I will move to punishing you seven times over for your sins.

And if ye wil not for these things obey me, then wil I punish you seuen times more, according to your sinnes,

19 I will break your self-reliant strength you're so proud of, and make your sky hard as iron and your land hard as bronze.

And I wil breake the pride of your power, and I will make your heauen as yron, and your earth as brasse:

20 Your strength will be completely wasted because your land won't produce crops, and your trees won't produce fruit.

And your strength shalbe spent in vaine: neither shall your lande giue her increase, neither shall the trees of the land giue their fruite.

21 If you go on opposing me and refusing to do what I tell you, I will make your punishments seven times worse, based on your sins.

And if ye walke stubburnly against me, and will not obey mee, I will then bring seuen times more plagues vpon you, according to your sinnes.

22 I will send wild animals to kill your children, wipe out your livestock, and make you so few in number that there won't be anyone on your roads.

I will also sende wilde beastes vpon you, which shall spoyle you, and destroy your cattell, and make you fewe in number: so your hye waies shalbe desolate.

23 However, if in spite of all this correction you still don't change but go on opposing me,

Yet if by these ye will not be reformed by me, but walke stubburnly against me,

24 then I will take action against you. I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

Then wil I also walke stubburnly against you, and I will smite you yet seuen times for your sinnes:

25 I will send enemies with swords to attack you in retaliation for breaking the agreement. Even though you retreat into your towns for defense, I will plague you with disease, and you will be handed over to your enemies.

And I wil send a sword vpon you, that shall auenge the quarel of my couenant: and when ye are gathered in your cities, I wil send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be deliuered into the hand of the enemie.

26 I will send a famine so bread is in short supply. One oven will serve the needs of ten women baking bread. It will be distributed by weight so that you'll eat but won't have enough.

When I shall breake the staffe of your bread, then ten women shall bake your breade in one ouen, and they shall deliuer your bread againe by weight, and ye shall eate, but not be satisfied.

27 However, if in spite of all this you don't obey me, but go on opposing me,

Yet if ye will not for this obey mee, but walke against me stubburnly,

28 then I will take action against you in a rage of fury, and I will punish you myself seven times over for your sins.

Then will I walke stubburnly in mine anger against you, and I will also chastice you seuen times more according to your sinnes.

29 You will eat the bodies of your own sons and daughters.

And ye shall eate ye flesh of your sonnes, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye deuoure.

30 I will destroy your high places of worship, smash your altars of incense, and pile up your dead bodies on what remains of your idols, which also have no life at all. I will really despise you.

I will also destroy your hye places, and cut away your images, and cast your carkeises vpon the bodies of your idoles, and my soule shall abhorre you.

31 I will demolish your towns and destroy your pagan sanctuaries, and I will refuse to accept your sacrifices.

And I will make your cities desolate, and bring your Sanctuarie vnto nought, and will not smelll the sauour of your sweete odours.

32 I will devastate your land myself, so that your enemies who come and live in it will be horrified at what has happened.

I will also bring the land vnto a wildernes, and your enemies, which dwell therein, shalbe astonished thereat.

33 I'm going to scatter you among the nations. You will be chased out by armies with swords as your land is ruined and your towns are destroyed.

Also I wil scatter you among the heathen, and will drawe out a sworde after you, and your land shalbe waste, and your cities shalbe desolate.

34 At least then the land will be able to enjoy its Sabbaths all the time it's abandoned while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. The land will finally be able to rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

Then shall the land inioy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth voide, and yee shalbe in your enemies land: then shall the land rest, and enioy her Sabbaths.

35 The whole time it's abandoned the land will observe the Sabbaths of rest that it wasn't able to do while you were living there.

All the dayes that it lieth voide, it shall rest, because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt vpon it.

36 I will make those of you who survive so discouraged that as you live in the lands of your enemies even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will scare you into running away! You'll run away like you're being chased by someone with a sword, and fall down even though no one is after you.

And vpon them that are left of you, I will send euen a faintnes into their hearts in ye land of their enemies, and the sounde of a leafeshaken shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall, no man pursuing them.

37 You'll trip over each other as you run away from the attack, then though no one's there. You'll have no power to resist your enemies.

They shall fall also one vpon another, as before a sword, though none pursue them, and ye shall not be able to stand before your enemies:

38 You'll die in exile and you'll be buried in a foreign country.

And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eate you vp.

39 Those of you who do manage to survive in the countries of your enemies will wither away because of their guilt, decaying as they share the sins of their fathers.

And they that are left of you, shall pine away for their iniquitie, in your enemies landes, and for the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them also.

40 They need to confess their sins and those of their fathers, acting in such an unfaithful way towards me, opposing me.

Then they shall confesse their iniquitie, and the wickednes of their fathers for their trespasse, which they haue trespassed against mee, and also because they haue walked stubburnly against me.

41 Because of this I took action against them and exiled them in the countries of their enemies. However, if they humbly give up their stubborn attitude and accept their punishment for their sins,

Therefore I wil walke stubburnly against them, and bring them into the land of their enemies: so then their vncircumcised hearts shalbe humbled, and then they shalt willingly beare the punishment of their iniquitie.

42 then I will fulfill the agreement I made with Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham, and I will not forget my promise about the land.

Then I will remember my couenant with Iaakob, and my couenant also with Izhak, and also my couenant with Abraham will I remember, and will remember the land.

43 For the land will be left empty by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths being abandoned. They will pay for their sins, because they rejected my rules and regulations.

The land also in the meane season shalbe left of them, and shall enioye her Sabbaths while she lieth waste without them, but they shall willingly suffer the punishment of their iniquitie, because they despised my lawes, and because their soule abhorred mine ordinances.

44 But despite all this, even while they are living in land of their enemies, I will not reject or hate them so much as to destroy them and break my agreement with them, because I am the Lord their God.

Yet notwithstanding this, when they shalbe in the lande of their enemies, I wil not cast them away, neither will I abhorre them, to destroy them vtterly, nor to breake my couenant with them: for I am the Lord their God:

45 Because of them I will renew the agreement I made with their fathers, those I led out of Egypt as the other nations watched, in order that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”

But I will remember for them the couenant of olde when I brought them out of ye land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen that I might be their God: I am the Lord.

46 These are the rules, regulations, and laws that the Lord set up between himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.

These are the ordinances, and the iudgements, and the lawes, which the Lord made betweene him, and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
