1 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you, and overtake you, if you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice. 3 You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field. 4 You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock. 5 Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed. 6 You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out. 7 Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways. 8 Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to. He will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. 9 Yahweh will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways. 10 All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by Yahweh’s name, and they will be afraid of you. 11 Yahweh will grant you abundant prosperity in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you. 12 Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow. 13 Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you today, to observe and to do, 14 and shall not turn away from any of the words which I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come on you and overtake you. 16 You will be cursed in the city, and you will be cursed in the field. 17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed. 18 The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock will be cursed. 19 You will be cursed when you come in, and you will be cursed when you go out. 20 Yahweh will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me. 21 Yahweh will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land where you go in to possess it. 22 Yahweh will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with fiery heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew. They will pursue you until you perish. 23 Your sky that is over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron. 24 Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust. It will come down on you from the sky, until you are destroyed. 25 Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies. You will go out one way against them, and will flee seven ways before them. You will be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth. 26 Your dead bodies will be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there will be no one to frighten them away. 27 Yahweh will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with the tumors, with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed. 28 Yahweh will strike you with madness, with blindness, and with astonishment of heart. 29 You will grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways. You will only be oppressed and robbed always, and there will be no one to save you. 30 You will betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. You will build a house, and you won’t dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, and not use its fruit. 31 Your ox will be slain before your eyes, and you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be violently taken away from before your face, and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to save you. 32 Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look and fail with longing for them all day long. There will be no power in your hand. 33 A nation which you don’t know will eat the fruit of your ground and all of your work. You will only be oppressed and crushed always, 34 so that the sights that you see with your eyes will drive you mad. 35 Yahweh will strike you in the knees and in the legs with a sore boil, of which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. 36 Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you will set over yourselves, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods of wood and stone. 37 You will become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where Yahweh will lead you away. 38 You will carry much seed out into the field, and will gather little in, for the locust will consume it. 39 You will plant vineyards and dress them, but you will neither drink of the wine, nor harvest, because worms will eat them. 40 You will have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you won’t anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives will drop off. 41 You will father sons and daughters, but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity. 42 Locusts will consume all of your trees and the fruit of your ground. 43 The foreigner who is among you will mount up above you higher and higher, and you will come down lower and lower. 44 He will lend to you, and you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.
45 All these curses will come on you, and will pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you didn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you. 46 They will be for a sign and for a wonder to you and to your offspring forever. 47 Because you didn’t serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things; 48 therefore you will serve your enemies whom Yahweh sends against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in lack of all things. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you. 49 Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies: a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a nation of fierce facial expressions, that doesn’t respect the elderly, nor show favor to the young. 51 They will eat the fruit of your livestock and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed. They also won’t leave you grain, new wine, oil, the increase of your livestock, or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish. 52 They will besiege you in all your gates until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout all your land. They will besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land which Yahweh your God has given you. 53 You will eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies will distress you. 54 The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye will be evil toward his brother, toward the wife whom he loves, and toward the remnant of his children whom he has remaining, 55 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in all your gates. 56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye will be evil toward the husband that she loves, toward her son, toward her daughter, 57 toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of all things in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in your gates. 58 If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YAHWEH your God, 59 then Yahweh will make your plagues and the plagues of your offspring fearful, even great plagues, and of long duration, and severe sicknesses, and of long duration. 60 He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they will cling to you. 61 Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this law, Yahweh will bring them on you until you are destroyed. 62 You will be left few in number, even though you were as the stars of the sky for multitude, because you didn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice. 63 It will happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause you to perish and to destroy you. You will be plucked from the land that you are going in to possess. 64 Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth. There you will serve other gods which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even wood and stone. 65 Among these nations you will find no ease, and there will be no rest for the sole of your foot; but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and pining of soul. 66 Your life will hang in doubt before you. You will be afraid night and day, and will have no assurance of your life. 67 In the morning you will say, "I wish it were evening!" and at evening you will say, "I wish it were morning!" for the fear of your heart which you will fear, and for the sights which your eyes will see. 68 Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I told to you that you would never see it again. There you will offer yourselves to your enemies for male and female slaves, and nobody will buy you.

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。

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。

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。

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。"
