< Deuteronomy 7 >
1 'When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, and He hath cast out many nations from thy presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than thou,
If he will bring you Yahweh God your into the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it and he will clear away nations many - from before you the Hittite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] seven nations great and mighty more than you.
2 and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and thou hast smitten them — thou dost utterly devote them — thou dost not make with them a covenant, nor dost thou favour them.
And he will deliver up them Yahweh God your before you and you will strike down them certainly you will totally destroy them not you will make to them a covenant and not you will show favor to them.
3 'And thou dost not join in marriage with them; thy daughter thou dost not give to his son, and his daughter thou dost not take to thy son,
And not you will intermarry with them daughter your not you will give to son his and daughter his not you will take for son your.
4 for he doth turn aside thy son from after Me, and they have served other gods, and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and hath destroyed thee hastily.
For he will turn aside son your from after me and they will serve gods other and it will burn [the] anger of Yahweh on you and he will destroy you quickly.
5 'But thus thou dost to them: their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and their shrines ye cut down, and their graven images ye burn with fire;
That except thus you will do to them altars their you will break down and sacred pillars their you will shatter and Asherah poles their you will cut down! and images their you will burn! with fire.
6 for a holy people [art] thou to Jehovah thy God; on thee hath Jehovah thy God fixed, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
For [are] a people holy you to Yahweh God your you he has chosen - Yahweh God your to become for him a people of possession from all the peoples which [are] on [the] surface of the ground.
7 'Not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples hath Jehovah delighted in you, and fixeth on you, for ye [are] the least of all the peoples,
Not because were numerous you more than all the peoples he loved Yahweh you and he chose you for you [were] the few from all the peoples.
8 but because of Jehovah's loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
For from [the] love of Yahweh you (and because kept he *L(abh)*) the oath which he swore to ancestors your he brought out Yahweh you by a hand strong and he redeemed you from a house of slaves from [the] hand of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt.
9 'And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He [is] God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands — to a thousand generations,
And you will know that Yahweh God your he [is] God the God faithful [who] keeps the covenant and covenant loyalty to [those who] love him and to [those who] keep (commandments his *Q(K)*) to a thousand generation[s].
10 and repaying to those hating Him, unto their face, to destroy them; He delayeth not to him who is hating Him — unto his face, He repayeth to him —
And [who] repays to [those who] hate him to face his by destroying him not he delays to [the] [one who] hates him to face his he repays to him.
11 and thou hast kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding thee to-day to do them.
And you will keep the commandment and the statutes and the judgments which I [am] commanding you this day to observe them.
12 'And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy fathers,
And it will be - consequence you will hear! the judgments these and you will take care and you will observe them and he will keep Yahweh God your to you the covenant and covenant loyalty which he swore to ancestors your.
13 and hath loved thee, and blessed thee, and multiplied thee, and hath blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, the increase of thine oxen, and the wealth of thy flock, on the ground which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.
And he will love you and he will bless you and he will increase you and he will bless [the] fruit of womb your and [the] fruit of ground your grain your and new wine your and fresh oil your [the] young of cattle your and [the] young ones of flock your on the land which he swore to ancestors your to give to you.
14 'Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in thee a barren man or a barren woman — nor among your cattle;
Blessed you will be more than all the peoples not he will be among you a sterile [male] and a barren [female] and among livestock your.
15 and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee every sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou hast known) doth He put on thee, and He hath put them on all hating thee.
And he will remove Yahweh from you every sickness and all [the] diseases of Egypt harmful which you experienced not he will put them on you and he will set them on all [those who] hate you.
16 'And thou hast consumed all the peoples whom Jehovah thy God is giving to thee; thine eye hath no pity on them, and thou dost not serve their gods, for a snare it [is] to thee.
And you will consume all the peoples which Yahweh God your [is] about to deliver up to you not it will look with pity eye your on them and not you will serve gods their for [will be] a snare it to you.
17 'When thou sayest in thine heart, These nations [are] more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them? —
For you will say in heart your [are] great the nations these more than I how? will I be able to dispossess them.
18 thou art not afraid of them; thou dost surely remember that which Jehovah thy God hath done to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt,
Not you must be afraid from them carefully you will remember [that] which he did Yahweh God your to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.
19 the great trials which thine eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched-out arm, with which Jehovah thy God hath brought thee out; so doth Jehovah thy God to all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.
The trials great which they saw eyes your and the signs and the wonders and the hand mighty and the arm outstretched which he brought out you Yahweh God your thus he will do Yahweh God your to all the peoples which you [are] afraid of them.
20 'And also the locust doth Jehovah thy God send among them, till the destruction of those who are left, and of those who are hidden from thy presence;
And also the hornet he will send Yahweh God your among them until perish [those] who remain and [those] who hide themselves from before you.
21 thou art not terrified by their presence, for Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, a God great and fearful.
Not you must be terrified of them for Yahweh God your [is] in midst your a God great and awesome.
22 'And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy presence little [by] little, (thou art not able to consume them hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee),
And he will clear away Yahweh God your the nations these from before you little little not you will be able to make an end of them quickly lest it should increase with you [the] animal[s] of the field.
23 and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and destroyed them — a great destruction — till their destruction;
And he will deliver up them Yahweh God your before you and he will confuse them confusion great until are destroyed they.
24 and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them.
And he will give kings their in hand your and you will destroy name their from under the heavens not he will stand anyone in face your until destroying you them.
25 'The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou taken [it] to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God it [is];
[the] images of Gods their you will burn! with fire not you will covet silver and gold on them and you will take [it] for yourself lest you should be ensnared by it for [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh God your that.
26 and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house — or thou hast been devoted like it; — thou dost utterly detest it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it [is] devoted.
And not you will bring an abomination into house your and you will be an object for destruction like it utterly - you will detest it and utterly - you will abhor it for [is] an object for destruction it.
