Leviticus 26
1 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.
“You do not make idols for yourselves; and you do not set up carved image or standing image for yourselves; and you do not put a stone of imagery in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] your God YHWH.
2 My sabbaths, shall ye observe, And, my sanctuary, shall ye revere, —I, am Yahweh.
You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.
3 If, in my statutes, ye will walk, —And my commandments, ye will observe, and do them,
If you walk in My statutes, and you keep My commands, and have done them,
4 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.
then I have given your rains in their season, and the land has given her produce, and the tree of the field gives its fruit;
5 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.
and the threshing has reached to you, [and] the gathering, and the gathering reaches the sowing-[time]; and you have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.
6 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.
And I have given peace in the land, and you have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword does not pass over into your land.
7 And ye shall chase your foes, —And they shall fall before you by the sword;
And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;
8 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.
and five of you have pursued one hundred, and one hundred of you pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.
9 And I will turn unto you, And make you fruitful, —And multiply you, And will establish my covenant with you.
And I have turned to you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;
10 And ye shall eat old store well seasoned, —And the old from before the new, shall ye put forth.
and you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.
11 And I will set my habitation in your midst, —And my soul shall not abhor you;
And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;
12 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.
and I have habitually walked in your midst, and have become your God, and you become My people;
13 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.
I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke and cause you to go erect.
14 But, if ye will not hearken unto me, And will not do all these commandments;
And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,
15 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
and if you kick at My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments, so as not to do all My commands—to your breaking My covenant—
16 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.
I also do this to you: I have even appointed trouble over you, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and you have sowed your seed in vain, and your enemies have eaten it;
17 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.
and I have set My face against you, and you have been struck before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and you have fled when there is none pursuing you.
18 And, if even with these things, ye will not hearken unto me, Then will I yet further correct you seven times, for your sins.
And if up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold for your sins;
19 So will I break your pomp of power, And will set your heavens as iron, and your land as bronze;
and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;
20 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.
and your strength has been consumed in vain, and your land does not give her produce, and the tree of the land does not give its fruit.
21 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;
And if you walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to listen to Me, then I have added to you a plague sevenfold, according to your sins,
22 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.
and sent the beast of the field against you, and it has bereaved you; and I have cut off your livestock, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.
23 And, if, by these things, ye will not be corrected by me, —But will go in opposition to me,
And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
24 Then will, I also, go in opposition to you. And, I, even I, will plague you seven times for your sins;
then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold for your sins;
25 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.
and I have brought in a sword on you, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and you have been gathered to your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and you have been given into the hand of an enemy.
26 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.
In My breaking your staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and you have eaten and are not satisfied.
27 And, if, with this, ye will not hearken to me, —But will go in opposition to me,
And if for this you do not listen to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,
28 Then will I go in a rage of opposition to you, —And I, even I, will correct you seven times for your sins;
then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have disciplined you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, —Yea, even the flesh of your daughters, shall ye eat.
And you have eaten [the] flesh of your sons; and you eat [the] flesh of your daughters.
30 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.
And I have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and My soul has loathed you;
31 And I will give your cities unto desolation, And make your holy places dumb, —And will find no fragrance in your satisfying odour;
and I have made your cities a ruin, and have made your sanctuaries desolate, and I do not smell your refreshing fragrance;
32 And, I, will make the land dumb, And your foes that dwell therein shall regard it with dumb amazement:
and I have made the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it have been astonished at it.
33 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.
And I scatter you among nations, and have drawn out a sword after you, and your land has been a desolation, and your cities are a ruin.
34 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:
Then the land enjoys its Sabbaths all the days of the desolation—and you [are] in the land of your enemies; then the land rests, and has enjoyed its Sabbaths;
35 All the days she lieth desolate, shall she keep sabbath, —the which she kept not as your sabbaths, —while ye dwelt thereupon.
it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling on it.
36 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;
And those who are left of you—I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away has pursued them, and they have fled [as in] flight from a sword—and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.
37 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;
And they have stumbled on one another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and you have no standing before your enemies,
38 And ye shall perish among the nations, —And the land of your foes shall eat you up;
and you have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies has consumed you.
39 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.
And those who are left of you—they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, they consume away with them.
40 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,
And [if] they have confessed their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also that they have walked with Me in opposition,
41 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,
when I also walk in opposition to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity—
42 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.
then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and I remember the land.
43 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.
And the land is left by them, and enjoys its Sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, they have kicked against My judgments, and their soul has loathed My statutes,
44 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.
and also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] their God YHWH—
45 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.
then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] YHWH.”
46 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.
These [are] the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which YHWH has given between Him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
