Barakooyinka Ay Helaan Kuwa Ilaah Addeeca

28 Oo haddaad aad u dhegaysataan codka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo intaad xajisaan aad yeeshaan amarradiisa aan maanta idinku amrayo oo dhan, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu wuxuu idinka wada sare marin doonaa quruumaha dunida oo dhan. Oo barakooyinkan oo dhammuna way idinku soo degi doonaan, wayna idin soo gaadhi doonaan, haddaad codka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah dhegaysataan. Waxaad ku barakaysnaan doontaan magaalada, oo waxaad ku barakaysnaan doontaan duurka. Oo waxaa barakaysnaan doona midhaha jidhkiinna, iyo midhaha dhulkiinna, iyo midhaha xoolihiinna oo ah dhasha lo'diinna iyo tan idihiinna. Waxaa barakaysnaan doona dambiishiinna iyo weelkiinna aad wax ku cajiintaan. Oo waad barakaysnaan doontaan markaad gudaha soo gashaan, oo waad barakaysnaan doontaan markaad dibadda u baxdaan. Oo cadaawayaashiinna idinku kaca Rabbigu wuxuu ka dhigi doonaa in hortiinna lagu laayo. Jid qudha ayay idinkaga iman doonaan, oo hortiinna ayay toddoba jid ku kala carari doonaan. Oo Rabbigu wuxuu ku amri doonaa inay barakadu idinku soo degto idinka, iyo maqsinnadiinna, iyo wax alla wixii aad gacanta ku qabataanba, oo wuxuu idinku barakayn doonaa dalka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siinayo. Rabbigu wuxuu idinka dhigan doonaa dad isaga qudhiisa quduus u ah, siduu idiinku dhaartay, haddaad amarrada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah xajisaan oo aad jidadkiisana ku socotaan. 10 Oo dadka dunida oo dhammu waxay arki doonaan in laydiinku yeedhay magicii Rabbiga, wayna idinka cabsan doonaan. 11 Oo Rabbigu wanaag buu idiinku badin doonaa midhaha jidhkiinna, iyo midhaha xoolihiinna, iyo midhaha dhulkiinna idinkoo jooga dalka Rabbigu awowayaashiin ugu dhaartay inuu idin siinayo. 12 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu idiin furi doonaa khasnaddiisa wanaagsan ee samada inuu dalkiinna roob siiyo xilligiisa, iyo inuu wada barakeeyo shuqulka aad gacanta ku qabataan oo dhan, oo idinku quruumo badan baad wax deymin doontaan, waxbase ma amaahan doontaan. 13 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu idinka dhigayaa madaxa, idinkana dhigi maayo dabada, oo weligiin waxaad ahaanaysaan kuwa sarreeya, oo noqon maysaan kuwa hooseeya, haddaad dhegaysataan amarrada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo aan maanta idinku amrayo, oo intaad xajisaan aad yeeshaan, 14 oo aydaan erayada aan maanta idinku amrayo gees uga leexan xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixda toona, inaad ilaahyo kale daba gashaan oo aad u adeegtaan.

Inkaaraha Ku Dhaca Kuwa Aan Ilaah Addeecin

15 Laakiinse haddaydnan dhegaysan codka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, inaad xajisaan oo aad wada yeeshaan amarradiisa iyo qaynuunnadiisa aan maanta idinku amrayo, markaas inkaarahan oo dhammu way idinku soo degi doonaan oo idin soo gaadhi doonaan. 16 Waxaad ku inkaarnaan doontaan magaalada oo waxaad ku inkaarnaan doontaan duurka. 17 Waxaa inkaarnaan doona dambiishiinna iyo weelkiinna aad wax ku cajiintaan. 18 Oo waxaa inkaarnaan doona midhaha jidhkiinna iyo midhaha dhulkiinna, iyo dhasha lo'diinna iyo tan idihiinna. 19 Oo waad inkaarnaan doontaan markaad gudaha soo gashaan, oo waad inkaarnaan doontaan markaad dibadda u baxdaan. 20 Rabbigu wuxuu idinku soo dejin doonaa inkaar iyo dhibaato, oo wuu idinku canaanan doonaa wax alla wixii aad gacanta ku qabataan oo dhan jeeraad baabba'daan oo aad haddiiba halligantaan, waana sharka falimihiinna, oo aad iiga tagteen aawadiis. 21 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu idinku dhejin doonaa balaayada, jeeruu idinka baabbi'iyo dalka aad u gelaysaan inaad hantidaan. 22 Rabbiguna wuxuu idinku dhufan doonaa taagdarro, iyo qandho, iyo gubasho, iyo kulayl daran, iyo seef, iyo beera-engeeg, iyo caariyaysi, oo iyana way idin eryan doonaan ilaa aad halligantaan. 23 Oo samada idinka korraysaa waxay noqon doontaa naxaas, oo dhulka idinka hooseeyaana wuxuu noqon doonaa bir. 24 Oo Rabbigu roobka dalkiinna wuxuu ka dhigi doonaa budo iyo boodh, oo waxaasu samaday idinkaga soo degi doonaan ilaa aad baabba'daan. 25 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu ka dhigi doonaa in laydinku laayo cadaawayaashiinna hortooda, oo iyaga jid qudha baad kaga iman doontaan, oo hortooda ayaad toddoba jid ku kala carari doontaan, oo boqortooyooyinka dunida oo dhammu waad ku dhex rogrogmi doontaan hore iyo dib. 26 Oo meydkiinnu wuxuu cunto u noqon doonaa haadka hawada oo dhan iyo dugaagga dhulka, oo mid iyaga ka eryana lama arki doono. 27 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu idinku ridi doonaa boogtii Masar, iyo kasoobaxyo, iyo cadho, iyo xajiin aydaan ka bogsan karin. 28 Oo weliba Rabbigu wuxuu idinku ridi doonaa waalli iyo indhabbeel iyo naxdin. 29 Oo hadhkii baad u haabhaaban doontaan sida indhooluhu gudcurka u haabhaabto, oo jidadkiinna kuma liibaani doontaan, laakiinse had iyo goorba waa laydin dulmi doonaa oo waa laydin dhici doonaa, oo mid idin badbaadiyana lama arki doono. 30 Naag baad guursan doontaa, laakiinse nin kalaa la seexan doona, guri baad dhisan doontaa, laakiinse degi maysid, beercanab baad beeran doontaa, laakiinse midhihiisa ku isticmaali maysid. 31 Dibigaaga ayaa hortaada lagu gowrici doono, idahaagana waxaa la siin doonaa cadaawayaashaada, oo mid ku badbaadiyana lama arki doono. 32 Wiilashiinna iyo gabdhihiinna waxaa la siin doonaa dad kale, oo indhihiinnuna way eegi doonaan, oo maalinta oo dhan waxaad la taag darnaan doontaan xiiso aad iyaga u qabtaan, oo gacantiinnuna xoog ma yeelan doonto innaba. 33 Oo midhaha dhulkiinna iyo hawshiinna oo dhan waxaa cuni doona quruun aydaan aqoon, oo weligiin waxaad ahaan doontaan dad la dulmo oo la burburiyo, 34 oo taas daraaddeed waxaad la waalan doontaan waxa indhihiinnu arki doonaan. 35 Oo Rabbigu lowyaha iyo lugaha tan iyo tin iyo cedhib wuxuu idinka gelin doonaa boogo aydaan ka bogsan karin. 36 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu idinka iyo boqorkiinna aad boqran doontaanba u geeyn doonaa quruun idinka iyo awowayaashiinba aydaan aqoon, oo halkaas waxaad ugu adeegi doontaan ilaahyo kale oo qoryo iyo dhagax ah. 37 Oo dadyowga Rabbigu idiin geeyn doono oo dhan dhexdooda waxaad ku ahaan doontaan yaab iyo maahmaah iyo halqabsi. 38 Waxaad beerta u qaadan doontaan abuur badan, wax yar baadse ka soo urursan doontaan, maxaa yeelay, waxaa cuni doona ayax. 39 Waxaad beeran doontaan beero canab ah, waanad fali doontaan, laakiinse khamrina ma cabbi doontaan, canabna kama guran doontaan, waayo, waxaa cuni doona dixiri. 40 Oo soohdimihiinna oo dhan dhexdooda waxaa idiinku oolli doona geedo saytuun ah, laakiinse saliid kuma subkan doontaan, waayo, saytuunkiinna midhuhu way ka daadan doonaan. 41 Waxaad dhali doontaan wiilal iyo gabdho, laakiinse iyagu kuwiinna ma ahaan doonaan, maxaa yeelay, maxaabiis ahaan bay idiinka tegi doonaan. 42 Dhirtiinna oo dhan iyo midhaha dhulkiinnaba waxaa lahaan doona ayax. 43 Oo qariibka dhexdiinna ku jira ayaa idinka sare mari doona, oo idinkuna hoos baad u sii degi doontaan. 44 Oo isagu wax buu idin deymin doonaa, idinkuse wax ma deymin doontaan, madaxa buu noqon doonaa, idinkuse dabada baad noqon doontaan. 45 Inkaarahan oo dhammu idinkay idinku soo degi doonaan, wayna idin eryan doonaan oo idin soo gaadhi doonaan ilaa aad baabba'daan, maxaa yeelay, ma aydaan dhegaysan codka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, inaad xajisaan amarradiisa iyo qaynuunnadiisa uu idinku amray. 46 Oo waxay calaamad iyo yaab ku dul ahaan doonaan idinka iyo farcankiinnaba weligiin, 47 maxaa yeelay, idinku Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah wax kasta oo uu idinku badiyey aawadood uguguma aydaan adeegin faraxsanaan iyo qalbi reyreeya. 48 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed cadaawayaashiinna Rabbigu idiin soo diri doono ayaad ugu adeegi doontaan gaajo iyo harraad iyo qaawanaan, idinkoo wax kasta u baahan, oo wuxuu qoorta idinka saari doonaa harqood bir ah, ilaa uu idin baabbi'iyo. 49 Rabbigu wuxuu meel fog oo dhulka darafkiisa ah idinkaga keeni doonaa quruun sida gorgorka u duulaysa oo aydaan afkeeda garanayn, 50 oo ah quruun weji cabsi badan, oo aan dadka waayeelka ah maamuusin, aan dhallaankana u nixin. 51 Oo dadkaasu wuxuu cuni doonaa midhaha xoolihiinna iyo midhaha dhulkiinna, ilaa aad baabba'daan, oo weliba idiinkama tegi doono hadhuudh, iyo khamri, iyo saliid, iyo dhasha lo'diinna, iyo tan idihiinna, ilaa uu idin halligo. 52 Oo meel kasta oo dhulkiinna ah ayuu dhammaan irdihiinna idinku hareerayn doonaa ilaa derbiyadiinna deyrka dheer ee aad isku hallayseen ay soo wada dhacaan, oo wuxuu idinku hareerayn doonaa irdihiinna oo dhan ee dhulka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siiyey oo dhan. 53 Oo waxaad cuni doontaan midhaha jidhkiinna, kaasoo ah hilibka wiilashiinna iyo gabdhihiinna Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siiyey, waana markaad gashaan hareeraynta iyo cidhiidhiga ay cadaawayaashiinnu idinku cidhiidhin doonaan. 54 Ninka idinku dhex jira oo idiinku jilicsan, oo qabow ku noolaan jiray, wuxuu il shar ah ku dayi doonaa walaalkiis, iyo naagtiisa laabta kaga jiifta, iyo kuwa carruurtiisa ka hadhay, 55 si uusan midkoodna wax uga siin hilibka carruurtiisa oo uu cuni doono, maxaa yeelay, isaga waxba uma hadhi doonaan intii uu ku jiro hareeraynta iyo cidhiidhiga ay cadaawayaashiinnu irdihiinna oo dhan idinkaga cidhiidhin doonaan. 56 Oo naagta jilicsan, oo idinku dhex jirta oo qabow ku noolaan jirtay oo aan u quudhin inay cagteeda cad dhulka dhigto nolosheedii qaboobayd oo jilicsanayd aawadeed, waxay il shar ah ku dayi doontaa ninkeeda laabta kaga jiifa, iyo wiilkeeda iyo gabadheeda. 57 Wayna ka qarsan doontaa mandheerta ka soo dhex baxdo labadeeda lugood, iyo carruurteeda ay dhasho, waayo, qarsoodi bay iyaga u cuni doontaa iyadoo wax kasta u baahan, intay ku jirto hareeraynta iyo cidhiidhiga ay cadaawayaashiinnu irdihiinna oo dhan idinkaga cidhiidhin doonaan. 58 Haddeydnan dhawrin oo wada yeelin erayada sharcigan ee kitaabkan ku qoran oo dhan inaad ka cabsataan magacan ammaanta badan oo cabsida badan oo ah RABBIGA ILAAHIINNA AH, 59 markaas Rabbigu wuxuu idinka iyo farcankiinnaba ku ridi doonaa belaayooyin yaab leh oo waaweyn oo wakhti dheer idinku raaga, iyo cudurro xunxun oo wakhti dheer idinku raaga, iyo cudurro xunxun oo wakhti dheer idinku raaga. 60 Oo haddana wuxuu idinku soo dejin doonaa cudurradii Masar oo dhan oo aad ka cabsan jirteen, oo way idinku dhegi doonaan. 61 Oo weliba Rabbigu wuxuu kaloo idinku soo dejin doonaa ilaa aad wada baabba'daan cudur kasta iyo belaayo kasta oo aan ku qornayn kitaabka sharcigan. 62 Oo in kastoo aad u faro badnaydeen sida xiddigaha samada oo kale waxaa uun idinka hadhi doona in yar oo dhawr ah, maxaa yeelay, codkii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaad dhegaysan weydeen. 63 Oo sidii Rabbigu idiinku farxay inuu wanaag idiin sameeyo oo uu idin badiyo, ayuu sidaas oo kale ugu farxi doonaa inuu idin halligo oo idin baabbi'iyo, oo idinka waa laydinka rujin doonaa dalka aad ugu socotaan inaad hantidaan. 64 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu idinku kala dhex firdhin doonaa dadyowga oo dhan, iyo tan iyo dunida geesteed iyo ilaa geesteeda kale, oo halkaas waxaad ugu adeegi doontaan ilaahyo kale oo qoryo iyo dhagax ah oo aydaan aqoon idinka iyo awowayaashiin toona. 65 Oo quruumahaas dhexdooda istareex kama heli doontaan, oo cagtiinnuna ma nasan doonto, laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu halkaas idinku siin doonaa qalbigariir, iyo indhabbeel, iyo naf dulloobid. 66 Oo naftiinnana waad u shakiyi doontaan, oo habeen iyo maalinba waad cabsan doontaan, oo noloshiinnana ma aad hubi doontaan innaba. 67 Oo waaberigii waxaad odhan doontaan, Bal may fiid noqoto! Sababtuna waa cabsida aad qalbiga ka cabsan doontaan iyo xumaanta aad indhaha ku arki doontaan. 68 Oo Rabbigu mar dambe wuxuu Masar idinku celin doonaa idinkoo doonniyo ku jira, oo waxaad mari doontaan jidkii aan idinku idhi, Mar dambe ma aad arki doontaan, oo halkaasaad cadaawayaashiinna isugu iibin doontaan, inaad rag iyo dumarba addoommo u ahaataan, oo weliba ninna idinma iibsan doono.

Blessings for Obedience

28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow(A) all his commands(B) I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.(C) All these blessings will come on you(D) and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:

You will be blessed(E) in the city and blessed in the country.(F)

The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.(G)

Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.(H)

The Lord will grant that the enemies(I) who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.(J)

The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless(K) you in the land he is giving you.

The Lord will establish you as his holy people,(L) as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands(M) of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name(N) of the Lord, and they will fear you. 11 The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock(O) and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.(P)

12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse(Q) of his bounty,(R) to send rain(S) on your land in season and to bless(T) all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.(U) 13 The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow(V) them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.(W) 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left,(X) following other gods and serving them.

Curses for Disobedience

15 However, if you do not obey(Y) the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today,(Z) all these curses will come on you and overtake you:(AA)

16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.(AB)

17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.(AC)

18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.(AD)

19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.(AE)

20 The Lord will send on you curses,(AF) confusion and rebuke(AG) in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin(AH) because of the evil(AI) you have done in forsaking him.[a] 21 The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess.(AJ) 22 The Lord will strike you with wasting disease,(AK) with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought,(AL) with blight(AM) and mildew, which will plague(AN) you until you perish.(AO) 23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron.(AP) 24 The Lord will turn the rain(AQ) of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.

25 The Lord will cause you to be defeated(AR) before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven,(AS) and you will become a thing of horror(AT) to all the kingdoms on earth.(AU) 26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birds(AV) and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away.(AW) 27 The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt(AX) and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 28 The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. 29 At midday you will grope(AY) about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue(AZ) you.

30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her.(BA) You will build a house, but you will not live in it.(BB) You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit.(BC) 31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. 32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation,(BD) and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression(BE) all your days.(BF) 34 The sights you see will drive you mad.(BG) 35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils(BH) that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.(BI)

36 The Lord will drive you and the king(BJ) you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors.(BK) There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone.(BL) 37 You will become a thing of horror,(BM) a byword(BN) and an object of ridicule(BO) among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.(BP)

38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little,(BQ) because locusts(BR) will devour(BS) it. 39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine(BT) or gather the grapes, because worms will eat(BU) them.(BV) 40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off.(BW) 41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity.(BX) 42 Swarms of locusts(BY) will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.

43 The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower.(BZ) 44 They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them.(CA) They will be the head, but you will be the tail.(CB)

45 All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you(CC) until you are destroyed,(CD) because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. 46 They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever.(CE) 47 Because you did not serve(CF) the Lord your God joyfully and gladly(CG) in the time of prosperity, 48 therefore in hunger and thirst,(CH) in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke(CI) on your neck(CJ) until he has destroyed you.

49 The Lord will bring a nation against you(CK) from far away, from the ends of the earth,(CL) like an eagle(CM) swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand,(CN) 50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old(CO) or pity for the young. 51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine(CP) or olive oil,(CQ) nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined.(CR) 52 They will lay siege(CS) to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you.(CT)

53 Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you.(CU) 54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities.(CV) 56 The most gentle and sensitive(CW) woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter(CX) 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them(CY) secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.

58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law,(CZ) which are written in this book, and do not revere(DA) this glorious and awesome name(DB)—the Lord your God— 59 the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 60 He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt(DC) that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61 The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law,(DD) until you are destroyed.(DE) 62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky(DF) will be left but few(DG) in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God. 63 Just as it pleased(DH) the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please(DI) him to ruin and destroy you.(DJ) You will be uprooted(DK) from the land you are entering to possess.

64 Then the Lord will scatter(DL) you among all nations,(DM) from one end of the earth to the other.(DN) There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known.(DO) 65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place(DP) for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes(DQ) weary with longing, and a despairing heart.(DR) 66 You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. 67 In the morning you will say, “If only it were evening!” and in the evening, “If only it were morning!”—because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see.(DS) 68 The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again.(DT) There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.

  1. Deuteronomy 28:20 Hebrew me

28 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.

10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.

11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.

17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.

18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

20 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

21 The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.

22 The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

24 The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

25 The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.

27 The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.

28 The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.

30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.

31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.

32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.

33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

35 The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

36 The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.

37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee.

38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.

39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.

40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.

41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.

42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.

43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

49 The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.

53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:

54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:

55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, The Lord Thy God;

59 Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy God.

63 And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
