Deuteronomy 28
1 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:
sin autem audieris vocem Domini Dei tui ut facias atque custodias omnia mandata eius quae ego praecipio tibi hodie faciet te Dominus Deus tuus excelsiorem cunctis gentibus quae versantur in terra
2 and all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall listen to the voice of Jehovah your God.
venientque super te universae benedictiones istae et adprehendent te si tamen praecepta eius audieris
3 You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.
benedictus tu in civitate et benedictus in agro
4 You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.
benedictus fructus ventris tui et fructus terrae tuae fructusque iumentorum tuorum greges armentorum et caulae ovium tuarum
5 Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.
benedicta horrea tua et benedictae reliquiae tuae
6 You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out.
benedictus eris et ingrediens et egrediens
7 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.
dabit Dominus inimicos tuos qui consurgunt adversum te corruentes in conspectu tuo per unam viam venient contra te et per septem fugient a facie tua
8 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.
emittet Dominus benedictionem super cellaria tua et super omnia opera manuum tuarum benedicetque tibi in terra quam acceperis
9 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.
suscitabit te Dominus sibi in populum sanctum sicut iuravit tibi si custodieris mandata Domini Dei tui et ambulaveris in viis eius
10 All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of Jehovah; and they shall be afraid of you.
videbuntque omnes terrarum populi quod nomen Domini invocatum sit super te et timebunt te
11 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.
abundare te faciet Dominus omnibus bonis fructu uteri tui et fructu iumentorum tuorum fructu terrae tuae quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis ut daret tibi
12 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.
aperiet Dominus thesaurum suum optimum caelum ut tribuat pluviam terrae tuae in tempore suo benedicet cunctis operibus manuum tuarum et fenerabis gentibus multis et ipse a nullo fenus accipies
13 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,
constituet te Dominus in caput et non in caudam et eris semper supra et non subter si audieris mandata Domini Dei tui quae ego praecipio tibi hodie et custodieris et feceris
14 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.
ac non declinaveris ab eis nec ad dextram nec ad sinistram nec secutus fueris deos alienos neque colueris eos
15 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.
quod si audire nolueris vocem Domini Dei tui ut custodias et facias omnia mandata eius et caerimonias quas ego praecipio tibi hodie venient super te omnes maledictiones istae et adprehendent te
16 You shall be cursed in the city, and you shall be cursed in the field.
maledictus eris in civitate maledictus in agro
17 Your basket and your kneading trough shall be cursed.
maledictum horreum tuum et maledictae reliquiae tuae
18 The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock shall be cursed.
maledictus fructus ventris tui et fructus terrae tuae armenta boum tuorum et greges ovium tuarum
19 You shall be cursed when you come in, and you shall be cursed when you go out.
maledictus eris ingrediens et maledictus egrediens
20 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.
mittet Dominus super te famem et esuriem et increpationem in omnia opera tua quae facies donec conterat te et perdat velociter propter adinventiones tuas pessimas in quibus reliquisti me
21 Jehovah will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it.
adiungat Dominus tibi pestilentiam donec consumat te de terra ad quam ingredieris possidendam
22 Jehovah will strike you 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 you until you perish.
percutiat te Dominus egestate febri et frigore ardore et aestu et aere corrupto ac robigine et persequatur donec pereas
23 Your sky that is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth that is under you shall be iron.
sit caelum quod supra te est aeneum et terra quam calcas ferrea
24 Jehovah will make the rain of your land powder and dust: from the sky shall it come down on you, until you are destroyed.
det Dominus imbrem terrae tuae pulverem et de caelo descendat super te cinis donec conteraris
25 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.
tradat te Dominus corruentem ante hostes tuos per unam viam egrediaris contra eos et per septem fugias et dispergaris per omnia regna terrae
26 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.
sitque cadaver tuum in escam cunctis volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae et non sit qui abigat
27 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.
percutiat te Dominus ulcere Aegypti et parte corporis per quam stercora digeruntur scabie quoque et prurigine ita ut curari nequeas
28 Jehovah will strike you with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;
percutiat te Dominus amentia et caecitate ac furore mentis
29 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.
et palpes in meridie sicut palpare solet caecus in tenebris et non dirigas vias tuas omnique tempore calumniam sustineas et opprimaris violentia nec habeas qui liberet te
30 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.
uxorem accipias et alius dormiat cum ea domum aedifices et non habites in ea plantes vineam et non vindemies eam
31 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.
bos tuus immoletur coram te et non comedas ex eo asinus tuus rapiatur in conspectu tuo et non reddatur tibi oves tuae dentur inimicis tuis et non sit qui te adiuvet
32 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.
filii tui et filiae tuae tradantur alteri populo videntibus oculis tuis et deficientibus ad conspectum eorum tota die et non sit fortitudo in manu tua
33 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;
fructus terrae tuae et omnes labores tuos comedat populus quem ignoras et sis semper calumniam sustinens et oppressus cunctis diebus
34 so that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.
et stupens ad terrorem eorum quae videbunt oculi tui
35 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.
percutiat te Dominus ulcere pessimo in genibus et in suris sanarique non possis a planta pedis usque ad verticem tuum
36 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.
ducet Dominus te et regem tuum quem constitueris super te in gentem quam ignoras tu et patres tui et servies ibi diis alienis ligno et lapidi
37 You shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Jehovah shall lead you away.
et eris perditus in proverbium ac fabulam omnibus populis ad quos te introduxerit Dominus
38 You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in; for the locust shall consume it.
sementem multam iacies in terram et modicum congregabis quia lucustae omnia devorabunt
39 You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine, nor harvest; for the worm shall eat them.
vineam plantabis et fodies et vinum non bibes nec colliges ex ea quippiam quoniam vastabitur vermibus
40 You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off.
olivas habebis in omnibus terminis tuis et non ungueris oleo quia defluent et peribunt
41 You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity.
filios generabis et filias et non frueris eis quoniam ducentur in captivitatem
42 All your trees and the fruit of your ground shall the locust possess.
omnes arbores tuas et fruges terrae tuae robigo consumet
43 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.
advena qui tecum versatur in terra ascendet super te eritque sublimior tu autem descendes et eris inferior
44 He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
ipse fenerabit tibi et tu non fenerabis ei ipse erit in caput et tu eris in caudam
45 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:
et venient super te omnes maledictiones istae et persequentes adprehendent te donec intereas quia non audisti vocem Domini Dei tui nec servasti mandata eius et caerimonias quas praecepit tibi
46 and they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your descendants forever.
et erunt in te signa atque prodigia et in semine tuo usque in sempiternum
47 Because you did not serve Jehovah your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;
eo quod non servieris Domino Deo tuo in gaudio cordisque laetitia propter rerum omnium abundantiam
48 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.
servies inimico tuo quem inmittet Dominus tibi in fame et siti et nuditate et omnium penuria et ponet iugum ferreum super cervicem tuam donec te conterat
49 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;
adducet Dominus super te gentem de longinquo et de extremis finibus terrae in similitudinem aquilae volantis cum impetu cuius linguam intellegere non possis
50 a nation of fierce facial expressions, that shall not respect the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,
gentem procacissimam quae non deferat seni nec misereatur parvulo
51 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.
et devoret fructum iumentorum tuorum ac fruges terrae tuae donec intereas et non relinquat tibi triticum vinum et oleum armenta boum et greges ovium donec te disperdat
52 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.
et conterat in cunctis urbibus tuis et destruantur muri tui firmi atque sublimes in quibus habebas fiduciam in omni terra tua obsideberis intra portas tuas in omni terra quam dabit tibi Dominus Deus tuus
53 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.
et comedes fructum uteri tui et carnes filiorum et filiarum tuarum quas dedit tibi Dominus Deus tuus in angustia et vastitate qua opprimet te hostis tuus
54 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;
homo delicatus in te et luxuriosus valde invidebit fratri suo et uxori quae cubat in sinu suo
55 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.
ne det eis de carnibus filiorum suorum quas comedet eo quod nihil habeat aliud in obsidione et penuria qua vastaverint te inimici tui intra omnes portas tuas
56 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,
tenera mulier et delicata quae super terram ingredi non valebat nec pedis vestigium figere propter mollitiem et teneritudinem nimiam invidebit viro suo qui cubat in sinu eius super filii et filiae carnibus
57 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.
et inluvie secundarum quae egrediuntur de medio feminum eius et super liberis qui eadem hora nati sunt comedent enim eos clam propter rerum omnium penuriam in obsidione et vastitate qua opprimet te inimicus tuus intra portas tuas
58 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;
nisi custodieris et feceris omnia verba legis huius quae scripta sunt in hoc volumine et timueris nomen eius gloriosum et terribile hoc est Dominum Deum tuum
59 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.
augebit Dominus plagas tuas et plagas seminis tui plagas magnas et perseverantes infirmitates pessimas et perpetuas
60 He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they shall cling to you.
et convertet in te omnes adflictiones Aegypti quas timuisti et adherebunt tibi
61 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.
insuper et universos languores et plagas quae non sunt scriptae in volumine legis huius inducet Dominus super te donec te conterat
62 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.
et remanebitis pauci numero qui prius eratis sicut astra caeli prae multitudine quoniam non audisti vocem Domini Dei tui
63 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.
et sicut ante laetatus est Dominus super vos bene vobis faciens vosque multiplicans sic laetabitur disperdens vos atque subvertens ut auferamini de terra ad quam ingredieris possidendam
64 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.
disperget te Dominus in omnes populos a summitate terrae usque ad terminos eius et servies ibi diis alienis quos et tu ignoras et patres tui lignis et lapidibus
65 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;
in gentibus quoque illis non quiesces neque erit requies vestigio pedis tui dabit enim tibi Dominus ibi cor pavidum et deficientes oculos et animam maerore consumptam
66 and your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.
et erit vita tua quasi pendens ante te timebis nocte et die et non credes vitae tuae
67 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.
mane dices quis mihi det vesperum et vespere quis mihi det mane propter cordis tui formidinem qua terreberis et propter ea quae tuis videbis oculis
68 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.
reducet te Dominus classibus in Aegyptum per viam de qua dixi tibi ut eam amplius non videres ibi venderis inimicis tuis in servos et ancillas et non erit qui emat
