1 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: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4 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. 5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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.
1 "如果你实在听从耶和华你的 神的话, 谨守遵行他的一切诫命, 就是我今日吩咐你的, 耶和华你的 神必使你超过地上所有的民族。
2 如果你听从耶和华你的 神的话, 以下这一切福气必临到你身上, 必把你追上。

7 "那起来攻击你的仇敌, 耶和华必使他们在你面前被击败; 他们从一条路出来攻击你, 必在你面前从七条路逃跑。
8 在你的仓房里和你手所办的一切事上, 耶和华必吩咐福气临到你; 在耶和华你的 神赐给你的地上, 他必赐福给你。
9 如果你谨守耶和华你的 神的诫命, 遵守他的道路, 耶和华就必照着他向你起过的誓, 立你作他自己的圣民。
10 地上万民见你被称为耶和华名下的人, 就必惧怕你。
11 在耶和华向你列祖起誓应许要赐给你的土地上, 他必使你身上所生的、牲畜所产的、土地所出的, 都丰富有余。
12 耶和华必为你打开他天上的宝库, 按时降雨在你的地上, 在你手里所作的一切事上赐福给你; 你要借贷给许多国的民, 却不会向人借贷。
13 耶和华必使你作头不作尾, 居上不居下, 只要你听从耶和华你的 神的诫命, 就是我今日吩咐你的, 谨守遵行;
14 不可偏离我今日吩咐你的一切话, 不偏左也不偏右, 以致去随从和事奉别的神。
15 "但是, 如果你不听从耶和华你 神的话, 不谨守遵行我今日吩咐你的一切诫命和律例, 以下这一切咒诅就必临到你身上, 把你赶上。
16 你在城里必受咒诅, 在田间也必受咒诅。
17 你的篮子和抟面盆都必受咒诅。
18 你身所生的、土地所出的、牛生殖的和羊所产的, 都必受咒诅。
19 你出必受咒诅, 你入也必受咒诅。
20 "耶和华必在你手所作的一切事上, 使咒诅、纷乱和责备临到你身上, 直到你被消灭, 速速地灭亡, 因为你行恶, 离弃了我的缘故。
21 耶和华必使瘟疫随着你, 直到他把你从你进去得为业的地上灭绝了。
22 耶和华必用痨病、热病、炎症、疟疾、干旱、旱风和霉烂打击你; 它们必追赶你, 直到你灭亡。
23 你头上的天必变成铜, 你脚下的地必变成铁。
24 耶和华必使你地上的雨水变为飞沙尘土, 从天上下到你身上, 直到你被消灭。
25 耶和华必使你在仇敌面前被击败; 你从一条路出去攻击他们, 必在他们面前从七条路逃跑; 你必成为天下万国惊骇的对象。
26 你的尸体必成为空中的飞鸟和地上的走兽的食物; 必没有人来把它们吓走。
27 "耶和华必用埃及人的疮、痔漏、牛皮癣、红疹打击你, 这是你不能医治的。
28 耶和华必用癫狂、眼瞎、心乱打击你;
29 你必在中午的时候摸索, 好像瞎子在黑暗中摸索一样; 你的道路必不亨通; 你必日日受欺压、被抢夺, 没有人拯救你。
30 你和女子订了婚, 别人必和她同寝; 你建造房屋, 必不得住在里面; 你栽种葡萄园, 必不得享用它的果子。
31 你的牛在你眼前被宰了, 你必不得吃它的肉; 你的驴从你面前被抢夺了, 必不归还给你; 你的羊群交给了你的仇敌, 必没有人拯救。
32 你的儿女必被交给别国的民, 你必亲眼看见, 日日为他们焦虑; 你必无能为力。
33 你土地的出产和你劳碌得来的一切, 都必被你不认识的民族吃尽; 你必常常受压迫和压制;
34 你因亲眼看见的, 必要疯狂。
35 耶和华必用毒疮打击你的双膝和双腿, 由踵至顶, 使你无法医治。
36 耶和华必把你和你所立统治你的君王, 领到你和你的列祖都不认识的国那里去; 在那里你必事奉别的神, 就是木头石头所做的神。
37 在耶和华要领你去的各民族中, 你必成为使人惊骇、使人嘲笑和讽刺的对象。
38 "你带到田间的种子虽然很多, 但收进来的却很少, 因为蝗虫把它吞吃了。
39 你栽种修理葡萄园, 必不得收葡萄, 也不得喝葡萄酒, 因为虫子把它吃尽了。
40 你全境必有橄榄树, 却没有油抹身, 因为你的橄榄还未成熟就脱落了。
41 你必生儿养女, 却不是属你的, 因为他们都要被掳去。
42 你所有的树木和你土地的出产, 都必被害虫吃光。
43 住在你中间的寄居者必渐渐高升, 比你高而又高; 你必渐渐下降, 低而又低。
44 他要借给你, 你却不能借给他; 他必作头, 你必作尾。
45 这一切咒诅必临到你, 必追赶你, 必把你追上, 直到你被消灭, 因为你不听从耶和华你的 神的话, 没有遵守他吩咐你的诫命和律例。
46 这些咒诅必在你和你的后裔身上成为异迹和奇事, 直到永远。
47 因为你在这样富足的时候, 没有以欢乐和高兴的心来事奉耶和华你的 神,
48 所以你必在饥饿、干渴、赤身露体和缺乏之中, 去事奉耶和华派来攻击你的仇敌; 他必把铁轭放在你的颈项上, 直到把你消灭。
49 "耶和华必从远方, 从地极把一国的民带来, 像鹰一般飞来攻击你; 这民的语言你不会听;
50 这民脸无羞耻, 不顾老年人的情面, 也不恩待青年人。
51 他们必吞吃你牲畜所生的和你土地所产的, 直到把你消灭; 必不给你留下五谷、新酒和油、幼小的牛, 以及肥嫩的羊, 直到使你灭亡为止。
52 他们必把你围困在你的各城里, 直到在你的全境内你所倚靠高大和坚固的城墙都被攻陷; 他们必把你围困在耶和华你的 神赐给你的全地的各城里。
53 你在仇敌围困和窘迫你的时候, 要吃你身所生的, 就是吃耶和华你的 神赐给你的儿女的肉。
54 你们中间温柔嫩弱的男人, 必敌视自己的兄弟、怀中的妻子和余剩的儿女;
55 甚至在你的仇敌围困和窘迫你在各城里的时候, 他要吃自己儿女的肉, 却不肯分给他们任何人, 因为他没有什么剩下的。
56 你们中间温柔娇嫩的妇人, 素来因为温柔娇嫩不肯把脚掌踏在地上, 现在必敌视自己怀中的丈夫和自己的儿女。
57 她暗中把自己两腿之间出来的婴孩, 和自己生的儿女吃掉, 因为在你的仇敌围困和窘迫你在各城里的时候, 她什么都没有了。
58 "如果你不谨守遵行写在这书上的这律法的一切话, 不敬畏这荣耀和可畏的名, 就是耶和华你的 神,
59 耶和华就必使你和你的后裔遭受奇灾, 就是大而长久的灾, 毒而长久的病。
60 他必使你惧怕的埃及人的各种疾病都临到你身上, 紧紧地缠着你。
61 又把这律法书上没有记载的各样灾病, 都降在你身上, 直到你被消灭。
62 你们以前虽然像天上的星那么多, 现在剩下的人数却寥寥可数, 因为你不听从耶和华你的 神的话。
63 先前耶和华怎样喜欢你们得好处, 使你们人数众多, 将来也必怎样喜欢你们灭亡, 把你们消灭; 你们必从要进去得为业的地上被拔除。
64 耶和华必使你分散在万民中, 从地的这边到地的那边; 在那里你要事奉你和你的列祖不认识的别的神, 就是木头和石头做的神。
65 在那些国中, 你必不得安息, 也没有脚掌歇息的地方; 耶和华却必使你在那里心中发颤, 眼目憔悴, 精神颓废。
66 你未来的生命必悬而不定; 你必昼夜恐惧, 生命难保。
67 因你心里的惧怕惊恐和你眼中看见的景象, 早晨你必说: ‘但愿现在是晚上! ’晚上你必说: ‘但愿现在是早晨! ’
68 耶和华必用船把你送回埃及去, 走我曾经告诉你, 你不得再见的那条路; 在那里你们必卖身给你的仇敌作奴仆和作婢女, 却没有人买。"
