Deuteronomy 29

1 These [are] [the] words of the covenant which he commanded Yahweh Moses to make with [the] people of Israel in [the] land of Moab besides the covenant which he had made with them at Horeb.

These are the words that Yahweh commanded Moses to tell the people of Israel in the land of Moab, words that were added to the covenant that he had made with them at Horeb.

2 And he summoned Moses all Israel and he said to them you you have seen all that he did Yahweh to eyes your in [the] land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all servants his and to all land his.

Moses called to all Israel and said to them, “You have seen everything that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his servants, and to all his land—

3 The trials great which they saw eyes your the signs and the wonders great those.

the great sufferings that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.

4 And not he has given Yahweh to you a heart to know and eyes to see and ears to hear until the day this.

But until today Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, or ears to hear.

5 And I led you forty year[s] in the wilderness not they wore out clothes your from on you and sandal your not it wore out from on foot your.

I have led you for forty years in the wilderness; your clothes did not wear out on you, and your sandals did not wear out on your feet.

6 Bread not you ate and wine and strong drink not you drank so that you may know that I [am] Yahweh God your.

You did not eat any bread, and you did not drink any wine or other alcoholic drinks, so that you might know that I am Yahweh your God.

7 And you came to the place this and he came out Sihon [the] king of Heshbon and Og [the] king of Bashan to meet us for battle and we defeated them.

When you came to this place, Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, came out against us to fight, and we struck them down.

8 And we took land their and we gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenite[s] and to the Gadite[s] and to [the] half of [the] tribe of the Manassite[s].

We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.

9 And you will keep [the] words of the covenant this and you will do them so that you may cause to prosper all that you will do!

Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, so that you may prosper in everything that you do.

10 You [are] standing this day all of you before Yahweh God your chiefs your tribes your elders your and officials your every man of Israel.

You stand today, all of you, before Yahweh your God; your chiefs, your tribes, your elders, and your officers—all the men of Israel,

11 Little one[s] your wives your and sojourner your who [is] in [the] midst of camps your from [the] cutter of wood your unto [the] drawer of water your.

your little ones, your wives, and the foreigner who is among you in your camp, from him who cuts your wood to him who draws your water.

12 To pass on you in [the] covenant of Yahweh God your and in oath his which Yahweh God your [is] making with you this day.

You are here in order to enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God and into the oath that Yahweh your God is making with you today,

13 So as to establish you this day - of him to a people and he he will become for you God just as he spoke to you and just as he swore to ancestors your to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.

so that he may make you today into a people for himself, and that he may be God for you, as he spoke to you, and as he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

14 And not with you to alone you I [am] making the covenant this and the oath this.

For it is not only with you that I am making this covenant and this oath—

15 For with [the one] who there he here with us [is] standing this day before Yahweh God our and with [the one] who there not he here [is] with us this day.

with everyone standing here with us today before Yahweh our God—but also with those who are not here with us today.

16 For you you know this: we dwelt in [the] land of Egypt and this: we passed in [the] midst of the nations which you passed through.

You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed.

17 And you saw detestable things their and idols their wood and stone silver and gold which [were] with them.

You have seen their disgusting idols made of wood and stone, silver and gold, that were among them.

18 Lest there [be] among you a man or a woman or a clan or a tribe who heart his [is] turning away this day from with Yahweh God our to go to serve [the] gods of the nations those lest there [be] among you a root bearing fruit poison and wormwood.

Make sure there is not among you any man, woman, clan, or tribe whose heart is turning away today from Yahweh our God, so as to go worship the gods of those nations. Make sure there is not among you any root that produces gall and wormwood.

19 And it will be when hears he [the] words of the oath this and he will bless himself in heart his saying peace it will belong to me for in [the] stubbornness of heart my I walk so as to sweep away the watered [ground] with the thirsty [ground].

When that person hears the words of this curse, he will bless himself in his heart and say, 'I will have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.' This would destroy the wet together with the dry.

20 Not he will be willing Yahweh to forgive him for then it will smoke [the] anger of Yahweh and jealousy his on the man that and it will lie down on him every oath that is written in the book this and he will wipe out Yahweh name his from under the heavens.

Yahweh will not pardon him, but instead, the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy will smolder against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book will come on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under heaven.

21 And he will separate him Yahweh for harm from all [the] tribes of Israel according to all [the] oaths of the covenant that is written in [the] book of the law this.

Yahweh will set him apart for disaster out of all the tribes of Israel, in keeping with all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law.

22 And it will say the generation later children your who they will arise from after you and the foreigner who he will come from a land distant and they will see [the] plagues of the land that and diseases its which he has made sick Yahweh it.

The generation to come, your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, will speak when they see the plagues on this land and the diseases with which Yahweh has made it sick—

23 [is] sulfur And salt a burning waste all land its not it is sown and not it causes to grow and not it comes up in it any vegetation like [the] overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah Admah (and Zeboiim *Q(k)*) which he overthrew Yahweh in anger his and in rage his.

and when they see that the whole land has become sulfur and burning salt, where nothing is sown or bears fruit, where no vegetation grows, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, that Yahweh destroyed in his anger and wrath—

24 And they will say all the nations concerning what? has he done Yahweh thus to the land this why? [is] [the] heat of the anger great this.

they will say together with all the other nations, 'Why has Yahweh done this to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?'

25 And people will say on that they forsook [the] covenant of Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their which he made with them when brought out he them from [the] land of Egypt.

Then people will say, 'It is because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, that he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,

26 And they went and they served gods other and they bowed down to them gods which not they had known them and not he had assigned to them.

and because they went and served other gods and bowed down to them, gods that they had not known and that he had not given to them.

27 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on the land that to bring on it every curse that is written in the book this.

Therefore the anger of Yahweh has been kindled against this land, so as to bring on it all the curses that are written in this book.

28 And he plucked up them Yahweh from on land their in anger and in rage and in wrath great and he threw out them to a land another as the day this.

Yahweh has uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great fury, and has thrown them into another land, as today.'

29 The hidden [things] [belong] to Yahweh God our and the revealed [things] [belong] to us and to descendants our until perpetuity to do all [the] words of the law this.

The secret matters belong alone to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong forever to us and to our descendants, so that we may do all the words of this law.
