Deuteronomy 28
1 “Kowos fin akos LEUM GOD lowos ac oaru in liyaung ma sap nukewa lal ma nga sot nu suwos misenge, El ac fah oru kowos in yohk ac fulat liki mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu.
“Now if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God and are careful to follow all His commandments I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 Akos LEUM GOD lowos, na mwe insewowo inge nukewa fah ma lowos:
And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey the voice of the LORD your God:
3 “LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye siti suwos ac ima lowos.
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4 “LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye kowos ke El ac oru in puseni tulik nutuwos, fokin ima lowos, ac cow ac sheep nutuwos.
The fruit of your womb will be blessed, as well as the produce of your land and the offspring of your livestock— the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
5 “LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye ima in wheat lowos, ac oayapa mwe mongo ma kowos orala ke wheat uh.
Your basket and kneading bowl will be blessed.
6 “LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye ma nukewa kowos oru.
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
7 “LEUM GOD El fah kutangla mwet lokoalok lowos ke elos ac tuku in mweuni kowos. Elos ac tukeni tuku ke inkanek sokofanna, tusruktu elos fah kaing liki kowos ke inkanek puspis.
The LORD will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you in one direction but flee from you in seven.
8 “LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye orekma lowos, ac nwakla nien filma lowos ke wheat. El fah akinsewowoye kowos in facl se su El asot nu suwos.
The LORD will decree a blessing on your barns and on everything to which you put your hand; the LORD your God will bless you in the land He is giving you.
9 “Kowos fin akos LEUM GOD lowos, ac oru ma nukewa El sapkin, El fah oru tuh kowos in mwet lal sifacna, oana El tuh wulela kac.
The LORD will establish you as His holy people, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways.
10 Na mwet fin faclu nufon fah liye lah LEUM GOD El sulekowosla tuh kowos in mwet lal sifacna, ac elos ac fah sangeng suwos.
Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will stand in awe of you.
11 LEUM GOD El ac sot tulik puspis nutuwos, cow puspis, ac fokin ima yoklana in facl se ma El wulela kac nu sin papa matu tomowos in sot nu suwos.
The LORD will make you prosper abundantly—in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land—in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.
12 El fah supu af ke pacl fal la liki acn El karingin mwe kasrup lal we inkusrao. El fah akinsewowoye orekma lowos nukewa, tuh kowos fah ku in sang kasrpowos nu sin mutunfacl puspis, ac kowos fah tia enenu in ngusr selos.
The LORD will open the heavens, His abundant storehouse, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but borrow from none.
13 LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah oru tuh kowos, mwet Israel, fah mwet kol fin mutunfacl puspis, ac tia mwet kulansap nu selos. Kowos fin oaru in akos sap lal nukewa su nga sot misenge, na kowos ac fah kapkapak in pacl nukewa, ac fah tiana munasla.
The LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you will only move upward and never downward, if you hear and carefully follow the commandments of the LORD your God, which I am giving you today.
14 Tusruktu kowos in tiana kunausla ma sap inge in kutena ouiya, ku alu ac kulansupu god saya.
Do not turn aside to the right or to the left from any of the words I command you today, and do not go after other gods to serve them.
15 “Tusruktu kowos fin seakos LEUM GOD lowos, ac tia oaru in liyaung ma sap ac oakwuk lal nukewa ma nga asot misenge, mwe selnga inge nukewa ac fah tuku nu fowos:
If, however, you do not obey the LORD your God by carefully following all His commandments and statutes I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
16 “LEUM GOD El ac fah selngawi siti suwos ac ima lowos.
You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
17 “LEUM GOD El ac fah selngawi ima in wheat lowos, ac oayapa mwe mongo ma kowos orala ke wheat uh.
Your basket and kneading bowl will be cursed.
18 “LEUM GOD El ac fah selngawi kowos ke El ac oru in supuseni tulik nutuwos, fokin ima lowos, oayapa cow ac sheep nutuwos.
The fruit of your womb will be cursed, as well as the produce of your land, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.
19 “LEUM GOD El ac fah selngawi ma nukewa kowos oru.
You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
20 “Kowos fin oru ma koluk ac lain LEUM GOD, El ac use mwe ongoiya nu fowos, ac akfohsyekowosyak, ac aklokoalokye orekma lowos nukewa, nu ke kowos sa na in kunausyukla.
The LORD will send curses upon you, confusion and reproof in all to which you put your hand, until you are destroyed and quickly perish because of the wickedness you have committed in forsaking Him.
21 El ac fah tia tui in supwama mas upa nu fowos nwe ke na wangin sie suwos lula fin facl se su kowos apkuran in oakwuki we.
The LORD will make the plague cling to you until He has exterminated you from the land that you are entering to possess.
22 LEUM GOD El ac sot mas upa nu suwos, wi faf ac fol mano. El ac sruokya af ac oru usren faht uh in kunausla fokinsak sunowos. Mwe ongoiya inge ac oan yuruwos nwe ke kowos misa.
The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew; these will pursue you until you perish.
23 Ac fah wangin af kakla, ac infohk uh ac fah kekela oana osra uh.
The sky over your head will be bronze, and the earth beneath you iron.
24 LEUM GOD El ac fah tulokinya af, ac supwama eng upa in use puk ac dust in fosrelana acn uh nwe ke kowos kunausyukla.
The LORD will turn the rain of your land into dust and powder; it will descend on you from the sky until you are destroyed.
25 “LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh mwet lokoalok lowos in kutangkowosla. Kowos fah tukeni tuku in mweunelos ke inkanek soko na, tusruktu kowos ac fah kaing lukelos ke inkanek puspis, ac mwet nukewa fin faclu ac fah sangeng ke elos ac liye ma sikyak nu suwos.
The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will march out against them in one direction but flee from them in seven. You will be an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 Pacl se kowos ac misa, won ac kosro lemnak ac fah tuku ac kangla monuwos, na ac fah wangin mwet in luselosyak.
Your corpses will be food for all the birds of the air and beasts of the earth, with no one to scare them away.
27 LEUM GOD El ac fah oru in faf monuwos oana ke El tuh oru nu sin mwet Egypt. El ac oru monuwos in afla ke palang ac srolot wi sring, na wangin ma ac ku in unwela.
The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors and scabs and itch from which you cannot be cured.
28 LEUM GOD El ac fah oru kowos in wella, fohsak, ac kunla motowos.
The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness, and confusion of mind,
29 Kowos ac fah kahlimin acn uh ke infulwen len oana sie mwet kun, ac kowos ac fah tia ku in konauk innek lowos. Kowos ac fah tia ku in kapak ke kutena ma kowos oru. Ac fah akkohsyeyuk kowos ac pisreyuk ma lowos, na ac fah wangin mwet in kasrekowos.
and at noon you will grope about like a blind man in the darkness. You will not prosper in your ways. Day after day you will be oppressed and plundered, with no one to save you.
30 “Kom ac fah ako nu sin sie mutan fusr, a siena mwet fah payukyak sel. Kom ac musaela sie lohm, a kom fah tia muta loac. Kom ac fah yukwiya sie ima in grape, a kom fah tia kang fahko.
You will be pledged in marriage to a woman, but another man will violate her. You will build a house but will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but will not enjoy its fruit.
31 Cow nutum ac fah anwuki ye motom, a kom fah tiana kang kutena ikwa kac. Donkey nutum ac fah amakinyukla ke kom ngetang na liye, a wangin sie mwet fah folokonot nu sum. Sheep nutum uh ac fah itukyang nu sin mwet lokoalok lom, na ac fah wangin sie mwet in kasrekom.
Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away and not returned to you. Your flock will be given to your enemies, and no one will save you.
32 Ac fah utukla wen ac acn nutum in mwet kohs nu sin mwetsac ke kom ngetang na liye. Len nukewa kom ac ngetnget suk lah tulik nutum uh ac foloko ngac.
Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, while your eyes grow weary looking for them day after day, with no power in your hand.
33 Siena mutunfacl saya ac fah eis fokin ima lom su kom arulana kemkatu kac, ac wangin ma kom fah eis kac sayen orekma sulallal ac mwe akkohs ma mutunfacl saya ac oru nu sum.
A people you do not know will eat the produce of your land and of all your toil. All your days you will be oppressed and crushed.
34 Kom ac fah wella ke mwe keok ma orek nu sum.
You will be driven mad by the sights you see.
35 LEUM GOD El ac fah afunla niom ke ruf mwaiok ma koflana mahla, ac faf ac fah afunla niom yak nwe ke sifom.
The LORD will afflict you with painful, incurable boils on your knees and thighs, from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
36 “LEUM GOD El ac fah uskowosla, oayapa tokosra lowos, nu in sie mutunfacl saya — sie facl ma kowos, ac papa matu tomowos, soenna muta we meet. Kowos ac fah kulunsupu kutu god ma orekla ke sak ac eot.
The LORD will bring you and the king you appoint to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone.
37 Mwet in acn ma LEUM GOD El ac akfahsryekowoselik nu we fah arulana lut ke ma sikyak nu suwos. Elos ac isrun kowos ac aksruksrukye kowos.
You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
38 “Kowos ac yukwiya fita puspis, a kosrani ma na pu, mweyen locust ac fah kangla fokin ima lowos uh.
You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because the locusts will consume it.
39 Kowos fah yukwiya ima in grape ac karinganang, tusruk kowos ac fah tia kosrani fahko ku nim wain kac, mweyen wet uh ac kangla oa in grape.
You will plant and cultivate vineyards, but will neither drink the wine nor gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.
40 Sak olive uh ac fah kap yen nukewa fin acn suwos, tusruktu ac fah wangin oil in olive lowos, mweyen olive uh ac mwella.
You will have olive trees throughout your territory but will never anoint yourself with oil, because the olives will drop off.
41 Ac fah oasr wen ac acn nutuwos, tusruktu elos ac fah wanginla liki kowos, mweyen ac utukla elos oana mwet sruoh ke mweun.
You will father sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, because they will go into captivity.
42 Un won srisrik uh ac fah kangla sak sunowos ac sacn nukewa sunowos.
Swarms of locusts will consume all your trees and the produce of your land.
43 “Mwetsac su muta in facl suwos uh ac yokelik ku lalos, a ku lowos uh ac fah sriksrikeni.
The foreigner living among you will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink down lower and lower.
44 Ac fah oasr mani lalos ma kowos ku in ngisre, a ac fah wangin mani lowos elos in ngisre. Na ke saflaiya uh, elos ac fah leum fowos.
He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.
45 “Mwe selnga inge nukewa ac fah tuku nu suwos, ac fah oan fowos nwe ke na kowos kunausyukla, mweyen kowos tia akos LEUM GOD lowos, ac tia liyaung ma sap lal nukewa ma El sot nu suwos.
All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the LORD your God and keep the commandments and statutes He gave you.
46 Ma inge akilenyen ke nununku lun God nu suwos ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos nwe tok.
These curses will be a sign and a wonder upon you and your descendants forever.
47 LEUM GOD El tuh akinsewowoye kowos in ma nukewa, a kowos tuh tiana kulansupwal ke inse engan.
Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart in all your abundance,
48 Ouinge, kowos ac fah kulansupu mwet lokoalok su LEUM GOD El ac supwama in lain kowos. Kowos ac fah masrinsral, malu, ac koflufolla, ac kowos fah enenu ma nukewa. LEUM GOD El ac fah akkohsye kowos nwe ke na kowos kunausyukla.
you will serve your enemies the LORD will send against you in famine, thirst, nakedness, and destitution. He will place an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
49 LEUM GOD El ac use sie mutunfacl yen loesla me in lain kowos — sie mutunfacl su kowos tia etu kas la. Elos ac sohkma nu fowos oana sie eagle.
The LORD will bring a nation from afar, from the ends of the earth, to swoop down upon you like an eagle—a nation whose language you will not understand,
50 Ac fah wangin pakomuta lalos, ac elos ac fah tia akfulatye kutena mwet matu ku mwet fusr.
a ruthless nation with no respect for the old and no pity for the young.
51 Elos ac kangla cow nutuwos ac fokin ima lowos, ac kowos fah apkuran in misa ke masrinsral. Elos ac fah tia likiya kutena ma nowos, ke wheat, ku wain, ku oil in olive, cow ac sheep, na kowos ac fah misa.
They will eat the offspring of your livestock and the produce of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain or new wine or oil, no calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks, until they have caused you to perish.
52 Elos ac mweuni siti nukewa in facl se su LEUM GOD El ac sot nu suwos, na pot fulat ma kuhlusya siti lowos, ma kowos lulalfongi kac, fah ikori.
They will besiege all the cities throughout your land, until the high and fortified walls in which you trust have fallen. They will besiege all your cities throughout the land that the LORD your God has given you.
53 “Ke pacl se mwet lokoalok lowos kuhlusya siti suwos, kowos ac arulana fosrngala ke sripen masrinsral, pwanang kowos ac kangla tulik nutuwos sifacna ma LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.
Then you will eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters whom the LORD your God has given you, in the siege and distress that your enemy will inflict on you.
54 Finne mukul na kulang se ma isusla ke sou leum, el ac fah srangesr kite tamulel lal sifacna, ku mutan saok kial, ku tulik lula natul
The most gentle and refined man among you will begrudge his brother, the wife he embraces, and the rest of his children who have survived,
55 ke ikwen tulik ma el kang, mweyen wangin kutepacna mwe mongo saya, ke sripen kuhlusyuki siti nukewa arulana paht.
refusing to share with any of them the flesh of his children he will eat because he has nothing left in the siege and distress that your enemy will inflict on you within all your gates.
56 Finne mutan na oawe su tuku ke sou oaleum — ac ke sripen el kasrup el tia fahsr ke nial nu ke kutena acn — el fah srangesr kite mukul tumal su saok sel, oayapa wen natul ku acn natul sifacna.
The most gentle and refined woman among you, so gentle and refined she would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground, will begrudge the husband she embraces and her son and daughter
57 Ke mwet lokoalok elos ac kuhlusya siti se mutan sac muta we, el ac arulana fosrngala ke masrinsral, oru el kangla tulik natul ma el tufahna oswela ac oayapa fuht kac in lukma, mweyen wangin pac kutena mongo saya.
the afterbirth that comes from between her legs and the children she bears, because she will secretly eat them for lack of anything else in the siege and distress that your enemy will inflict on you within your gates.
58 “Kowos fin tia oaru in akos mwe luti nukewa lun God ma simla in book se inge, ac kowos fin tia sunakin Ine wolana ac mangol lun LEUM GOD lowos,
If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name—the LORD your God—
59 El ac fah supwama mas upa ma tia ku in akkeyeyukla nu fowos ac nu fin tulik nutuwos — aok, mas lulap ma fisrasr in fahsrelik ac koflana tulokinyuki.
He will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary disasters, severe and lasting plagues, and terrible and chronic sicknesses.
60 El ac sifilpa use nu fowos kain in mas keok nukewa ma kowos tuh pulakin ke kowos muta Egypt, ac kowos ac tiana ku in kwela.
He will afflict you again with all the diseases you dreaded in Egypt, and they will cling to you.
61 El ac oayapa supwama kain in mas lulap nukewa ma tia simla in book in ma sap ac mwe luti lun God, ac kowos ac fah kunausyukla ke mas inge.
The LORD will also bring upon you every sickness and plague not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
62 Kowos finne puseni oana itu inkusrao, a mwet na pu suwos fah painmoulla, mweyen kowos tuh tia akos LEUM GOD lowos.
You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left few in number, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.
63 Oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh engan in oru tuh kowos in kapkapak ac puseni, ouinge El fah engan pac in kunauskowosla wi ma lowos nukewa. Kowos ac fah fifyak liki facl se ma kowos apkuran in utyak nu we.
Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and multiply, so also it will please Him to annihilate you and destroy you. And you will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
64 “LEUM GOD El ac akfahsryekowoselik nu inmasrlon mutunfacl nukewa apunla faclu nufon, ac ingo kowos fah kulansupu god ma orekla ke sak ac eot — god ma kowos, ac papa matu tomowos, tiana wi alu nu kac meet.
Then the LORD will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
65 Kowos ac tia konaok mongla wo ku misla in kutena acn. Kowos fah mwet mukaimtal ac wangin acn suwos. LEUM GOD El ac nwekkowosla ke inse fosrnga ac ke asor, na ac fah wanginla finsrak lowos.
Among those nations you will find no repose, not even a resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a despairing soul.
66 Kowos fah moul in sensen pacl nukewa. Len ac fong kowos ac fah inse rarrar, ac kowos ac fah tia tui in sangeng ke misa.
So your life will hang in doubt before you, and you will be afraid night and day, never certain of survival.
67 Insiowos ac fah kihmkim ke sangeng ke ma nukewa kowos liye. Lotutang nukewa kowos ac kena in tari ekela. Ac eku nukewa kowos ac kena in tari lenelik.
In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were evening!’ and in the evening you will say, ‘If only it were morning!’—because of the dread in your hearts of the terrifying sights you will see.
68 LEUM GOD El ac folokinkowosla nu Egypt fin oak uh, El ne fahk tari mu kowos ac tia sifil som nu we. Kowos ac fah srike in kukakinkowosla nu sin mwet lokoalok lowos we oana mwet kohs, tusruktu wangin mwet ac lungse molikowos in mwet kohs lalos.”
The LORD will return you to Egypt in ships by a route that I said you should never see again. There you will sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.”
