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 give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep with care all these orders which I have given you today, then the Lord your God will put you high over 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 on you and overtake you, if your ears are open to the voice of the Lord your God.
3 “LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye siti suwos ac ima lowos.
A blessing will be on you in the town, and a blessing in the field.
4 “LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye kowos ke El ac oru in puseni tulik nutuwos, fokin ima lowos, ac cow ac sheep nutuwos.
A blessing will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herd, and the young of your flock.
5 “LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye ima in wheat lowos, ac oayapa mwe mongo ma kowos orala ke wheat uh.
A blessing will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.
6 “LEUM GOD El fah akinsewowoye ma nukewa kowos oru.
A blessing will be on your coming in and on your going 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.
By the power of the Lord, those who take arms against you will be overcome before you: they will come out against you one way, and will go in flight from you seven ways.
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 send his blessing on your store-houses and on everything to which you put your hand: his blessing will be on you in the land which the Lord your God 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 keep you as a people holy to himself, as he has said to you in his oath, if you keep the orders of the Lord your God and go on walking 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.
And all the peoples of the earth will see that the name of the Lord is on you, and they will go in fear 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.
And the Lord will make you fertile in every good thing, in the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your fields, in the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, said he would 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.
Opening his store-house in heaven, the Lord will send rain on your land at the right time, blessing all the work of your hands: other nations will make use of your wealth, and you will have no need of theirs.
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; and you will ever have the highest place, if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God which I give you today, to keep and to do them;
14 Tusruktu kowos in tiana kunausla ma sap inge in kutena ouiya, ku alu ac kulansupu god saya.
Not turning away from any of the orders which I give you today, to the right hand or to the left, or going after any other gods to give them worship.
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:
But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you:
16 “LEUM GOD El ac fah selngawi siti suwos ac ima lowos.
You will be cursed in the town and cursed in the field.
17 “LEUM GOD El ac fah selngawi ima in wheat lowos, ac oayapa mwe mongo ma kowos orala ke wheat uh.
A curse will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.
18 “LEUM GOD El ac fah selngawi kowos ke El ac oru in supuseni tulik nutuwos, fokin ima lowos, oayapa cow ac sheep nutuwos.
A curse will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
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 on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me.
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 send disease after disease on you, till you have been cut off by death from the land to which you are going.
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 send wasting disease, and burning pain, and flaming heat against you, keeping back the rain till your land is waste and dead; so will it be till your destruction is complete.
23 Ac fah wangin af kakla, ac infohk uh ac fah kekela oana osra uh.
And the heaven over your heads will be brass, and the earth under you hard as 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 make the rain of your land powder and dust, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete.
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 let you be overcome by your haters: you will go out against them one way, and you will go in flight before them seven ways: you will be the cause of fear among 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 bodies will be meat for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to send 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 send on you the disease of Egypt, and other sorts of skin diseases which nothing will make well.
28 LEUM GOD El ac fah oru kowos in wella, fohsak, ac kunla motowos.
He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear:
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.
You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour.
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 take a wife, but another man will have the use of her: the house which your hands have made will never be your resting-place: you will make a vine-garden, and never take the fruit of it.
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 put to death before your eyes, but its flesh will not be your food: your ass will be violently taken away before your face, and will not be given back to you: your sheep will be given to your haters, and there will be no saviour for 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 your daughters will be given to another people, and your eyes will be wasted away with looking and weeping for them all the day: and you will have no power to do anything.
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.
The fruit of your land and all the work of your hands will be food for a nation which is strange to you and to your fathers; you will only be crushed down and kept under for ever:
34 Kom ac fah wella ke mwe keok ma orek nu sum.
So that the things which your eyes have to see will send you out of your minds.
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 send a skin disease, attacking your knees and your legs, bursting out from your feet to the top of your head, so that nothing will make you well.
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.
And you, and the king whom you have put over you, will the Lord take away to a nation strange to you and to your fathers; there you will be servants to other 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.
And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take you.
38 “Kowos ac yukwiya fita puspis, a kosrani ma na pu, mweyen locust ac fah kangla fokin ima lowos uh.
You will take much seed out into the field, and get little in; for the locust will get 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 put in vines and take care of them, but you will get no wine or grapes from them; for they will be food for worms.
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.
Your land will be full of olive-trees, but there will be no oil for the comfort of your body; for your olive-tree will give no fruit.
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 have sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go away prisoners into a strange land.
42 Un won srisrik uh ac fah kangla sak sunowos ac sacn nukewa sunowos.
All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.
43 “Mwetsac su muta in facl suwos uh ac yokelik ku lalos, a ku lowos uh ac fah sriksrikeni.
The man from a strange land who is living among you will be lifted up higher and higher over you, while you go 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 let you have his wealth at interest, and will have no need of yours: he will be the head and you 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.
And all these curses will come after you and overtake you, till your destruction is complete; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, or keep his laws and his orders which he gave you:
46 Ma inge akilenyen ke nununku lun God nu suwos ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos nwe tok.
These things will come on you and on your seed, to be a sign and a wonder for ever;
47 LEUM GOD El tuh akinsewowoye kowos in ma nukewa, a kowos tuh tiana kulansupwal ke inse engan.
Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things;
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.
For this cause you will become servants to those whom the Lord your God will send against you, without food and drink and clothing, and in need of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck till he has put an end to 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 send a nation against you from the farthest ends of the earth, coming with the flight of an eagle; a nation whose language is strange to you;
50 Ac fah wangin pakomuta lalos, ac elos ac fah tia akfulatye kutena mwet matu ku mwet fusr.
A hard-faced nation, who will have no respect for the old or mercy 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.
He will take the fruit of your cattle and of your land till death puts an end to you: he will let you have nothing of your grain or wine or oil or any of the increase of your cattle or the young of your flock, till he has made your destruction complete.
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.
Your towns will be shut in by his armies, till your high walls, in which you put your faith, have come down: his armies will be round your towns, through all your land which 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.
And your food will be the fruit of your body, the flesh of the sons and daughters which the Lord your God has given you; because of your bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters.
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
That man among you who is soft and used to comfort will be hard and cruel to his brother, and to his dear wife, and to of those his children who are still living;
55 ke ikwen tulik ma el kang, mweyen wangin kutepacna mwe mongo saya, ke sripen kuhlusyuki siti nukewa arulana paht.
And will not give to any of them the flesh of his children which will be his food because he has no other; in the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.
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 soft and delicate of your women, who would not so much as put her foot on the earth, so delicate is she, will be hard-hearted to her husband and to her son and to her 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.
And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.
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 will not take care to do all the words of this law, recorded in this book, honouring that name of glory and of fear, 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.
Then the Lord your God will make your punishment, and the punishment of your seed, a thing to be wondered at; great punishments and cruel diseases stretching on through long years.
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 send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip.
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.
And all the diseases and the pains not recorded in the book of this law will the Lord send on you till your destruction is complete.
62 Kowos finne puseni oana itu inkusrao, a mwet na pu suwos fah painmoulla, mweyen kowos tuh tia akos LEUM GOD lowos.
And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to 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.
And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and increasing you, so the Lord will take pleasure in cutting you off and causing your destruction, and you will be uprooted from the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
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.
And the Lord will send you wandering among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other: there you will be servants to other gods, of wood and stone, gods of which you and your fathers had no knowledge.
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.
And even among these nations there will be no peace for you, and no rest for your feet: but the Lord will give you there a shaking heart and wasting eyes and weariness of 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.
Your very life will be hanging in doubt before you, and day and night will be dark with fears, and nothing in life will be certain:
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 was evening! And at evening you will say, If only morning would come! Because of the fear in your hearts and the things which your eyes 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.”
And the Lord will take you back to Egypt again in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You will never see it again: there you will be offering yourselves as men-servants and women-servants to your haters for a price, and no man will take you.
