¹遵行诫命的必蒙福（利26:3-13；申7:12-24）

¹`And it hath been, if thou dost hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, that Jehovah thy God hath made thee uppermost above all the nations of the earth,

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。

²and all these blessings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee, because thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God:

³你在城里必蒙福，在田间也必蒙福。

³`Blessed [art] thou in the city, and blessed [art] thou in the field.

⁴你身所生的、土地所出的、牲畜所出的、牛生殖的和羊所产的，都必蒙福。

⁴`Blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock.

⁵你的篮子和你的抟面盆，都必蒙福。

⁵`Blessed [is] thy basket and thy kneading-trough.

⁶你出必蒙福，你入也必蒙福。

⁶`Blessed [art] thou in thy coming in, and blessed [art] thou in thy going out.

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。

⁷`Jehovah giveth thine enemies, who are rising up against thee — smitten before thy face; in one way they come out unto thee, and in seven ways they flee before thee.

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。

⁸`Jehovah commandeth with thee the blessing in thy storehouses, and in every putting forth of thy hand, and hath blessed thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

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。

⁹`Jehovah doth establish thee to Himself for a holy people, as He hath sworn to thee, when thou keepest the commands of Jehovah thy God, and hast walked in His ways;

¹⁰地上万民见你被称为耶和华名下的人，就必惧怕你。

¹⁰and all the peoples of the land have seen that the name of Jehovah is called upon thee, and they have been afraid of thee.

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。

¹¹`And Jehovah hath made thee abundant in good, in the fruit of the womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.

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。

¹²`Jehovah doth open to thee his good treasure — the heavens — to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand, and thou hast lent to many nations, and thou — thou dost not borrow.

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；

¹³`And Jehovah hath given thee for head, and not for tail; and thou hast been only above, and art not beneath, for thou dost hearken unto the commands of Jehovah thy God, which I am commanding thee to-day, to keep and to do,

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。

¹⁴and thou dost not turn aside from all the words which I am commanding you to-day — right or left — to go after other gods, to serve them.

¹⁵违命的必受咒诅（利26:14-45）“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。

¹⁵`And it hath been, if thou dost not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God to observe to do all His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, that all these revilings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee:

¹⁶你在城里必受咒诅，在田间也必受咒诅。

¹⁶`Cursed [art] thou in the city, and cursed [art] thou in the field.

¹⁷你的篮子和抟面盆都必受咒诅。

¹⁷`Cursed [is] thy basket and thy kneading-trough.

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。

¹⁸`Cursed [is] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock.

¹⁹你出必受咒诅，你入也必受咒诅。

¹⁹`Cursed [art] thou in thy coming in, and cursed [art] thou in thy going out.

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。

²⁰`Jehovah doth send on thee the curse, the trouble, and the rebuke, in every putting forth of thy hand which thou dost, till thou art destroyed, and till thou perish hastily, because of the evil of thy doings [by] which thou hast forsaken Me.

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。

²¹`Jehovah doth cause to cleave to thee the pestilence, till He consume thee from off the ground whither thou art going in to possess it.

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。

²²`Jehovah doth smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with extreme burning, and with sword, and with blasting, and with mildew, and they have pursued thee till thou perish

²³你头上的天必变成铜，你脚下的地必变成铁。

²³`And thy heavens which [are] over thy head have been brass, and the earth which [is] under thee iron;

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。

²⁴Jehovah giveth the rain of thy land — dust and ashes; from the heavens it cometh down on thee till thou art destroyed.

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。

²⁵`Jehovah giveth thee smitten before thine enemies; in one way thou goest out unto them, and in seven ways dost flee before them, and thou hast been for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth;

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。

²⁶and thy carcase hath been for food to every fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and there is none causing trembling.

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。

²⁷`Jehovah doth smite thee with the ulcer of Egypt, and with emerods, and with scurvy, and with itch, of which thou art not able to be healed.

²⁸耶和华必用癫狂、眼瞎、心乱打击你；

²⁸`Jehovah doth smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;

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。

²⁹and thou hast been gropling at noon, as the blind gropeth in darkness; and thou dost not cause thy ways to prosper; and thou hast been only oppressed and plundered all the days, and there is no saviour.

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。

³⁰`A woman thou dost betroth, and another man doth lie with her; a house thou dost build, and dost not dwell in it; a vineyard thou dost plant, and dost not make it common;

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。

³¹thine ox [is] slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou dost not eat of it; thine ass [is] taken violently away from before thee, and it is not given back to thee; thy sheep [are] given to thine enemies, and there is no saviour for thee.

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。

³²`Thy sons and thy daughters [are] given to another people, and thine eyes are looking and consuming for them all the day, and thy hand is not to God!

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；

³³The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labour, eat up doth a people whom thou hast not known; and thou hast been only oppressed and bruised all the days;

³⁴你因亲眼看见的，必要疯狂。

³⁴and thou hast been mad, because of the sight of thine eyes which thou dost see.

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。

³⁵`Jehovah doth smite thee with an evil ulcer, on the knees, and on the legs (of which thou art not able to be healed), from the sole of thy foot even unto thy crown.

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。

³⁶`Jehovah doth cause thee to go, and thy king whom thou raisest up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers, and thou hast served there other gods, wood and stone;

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。

³⁷and thou hast been for an astonishment, for a simile, and for a byword among all the peoples whither Jehovah doth lead thee.

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。

³⁸`Much seed thou dost take out into the field, and little thou dost gather in, for the locust doth consume it;

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。

³⁹vineyards thou dost plant, and hast laboured, and wine thou dost not drink nor gather, for the worm doth consume it;

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。

⁴⁰olives are to thee in all thy border, and oil thou dost not pour out, for thine olive doth fall off.

⁴¹你必生儿养女，却不是属你的，因为他们都要被掳去。

⁴¹`Sons and daughters thou dost beget, and they are not with thee, for they go into captivity;

⁴²你所有的树木和你土地的出产，都必被害虫吃光。

⁴²all thy trees and the fruit of thy ground doth the locust possess;

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。

⁴³the sojourner who [is] in thy midst goeth up above thee very high, and thou goest down very low;

⁴⁴他要借给你，你却不能借给他；他必作头，你必作尾。

⁴⁴he doth lend [to] thee, and thou dost not lend [to] him; he is for head, and thou art for tail.

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。

⁴⁵`And come upon thee have all these curses, and they have pursued thee, and overtaken thee, till thou art destroyed, because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which he hath commanded thee;

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。

⁴⁶and they have been on thee for a sign and for a wonder, also on thy seed — to the age.

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，

⁴⁷`Because that thou hast not served Jehovah thy God with joy, and with gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things —

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。

⁴⁸thou hast served thine enemies, whom Jehovah sendeth against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things; and he hath put a yoke of iron on thy neck, till He hath destroyed thee.

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；

⁴⁹`Jehovah doth lift up against thee a nation, from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle it flieth; a nation whose tongue thou hast not heard,

⁵⁰这民脸无羞耻，不顾老年人的情面，也不恩待青年人。

⁵⁰a nation — fierce of countenance — which accepteth not the face of the aged, and the young doth not favour;

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。

⁵¹and it hath eaten the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, till thou art destroyed; which leaveth not to thee corn, new wine, and oil, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock, till it hath destroyed thee.

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。

⁵²`And it hath laid siege to thee in all thy gates, till thy walls come down, the high and the fenced ones in which thou art trusting, in all thy land; yea, it hath laid siege to thee in all thy gates, in all thy land, which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee;

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。

⁵³and thou hast eaten the fruit of thy body, flesh of thy sons and thy daughters (whom Jehovah thy God hath given to thee), in the siege, and in the straitness with which thine enemies do straiten thee.

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；

⁵⁴`The man who is tender in thee, and who [is] very delicate — his eye is evil against his brother, and against the wife of his bosom, and against the remnant of his sons whom he leaveth,

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。

⁵⁵against giving to one of them of the flesh of his sons whom he eateth, because he hath nothing left to him, in the siege, and in the straitness with which thine enemy doth straiten thee in all thy gates.

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。

⁵⁶`The tender woman in thee, and the delicate, who hath not tried the sole of her foot to place on the ground because of delicateness and because of tenderness — her eye is evil against the husband of her bosom, and against her son, and against her daughter,

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。

⁵⁷and against her seed which cometh out from between her feet, even against her sons whom she doth bear, for she doth eat them for the lacking of all things in secret, in the siege and in the straitness with which thine enemy doth straiten thee within thy gates.

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，

⁵⁸`If thou dost not observe to do all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honoured and fearful name — Jehovah thy God —

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。

⁵⁹then hath Jehovah made wonderful thy strokes, and the strokes of thy seed — great strokes, and stedfast, and evil sicknesses, and stedfast.

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。

⁶⁰`And He hath brought back on thee all the diseases of Egypt, of the presence of which thou hast been afraid, and they have cleaved to thee;

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。

⁶¹also every sickness and every stroke which is not written in the book of this law; Jehovah doth cause them to go up upon thee till thou art destroyed,

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。

⁶²and ye have been left with few men, instead of which ye have been as stars of the heavens for multitude, because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God.

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。

⁶³`And it hath been, as Jehovah hath rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so doth Jehovah rejoice over you to destroy you, and to lay you waste; and ye have been pulled away from off the ground whither thou art going in to possess it;

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。

⁶⁴and Jehovah hath scattered thee among all the peoples, from the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth; and thou hast served there other gods which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers — wood and stone.

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。

⁶⁵`And among those nations thou dost not rest, yea, there is no resting-place for the sole of thy foot, and Jehovah hath given to thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and grief of soul;

⁶⁶你未来的生命必悬而不定；你必昼夜恐惧，生命难保。

⁶⁶and thy life hath been hanging in suspense before thee, and thou hast been afraid by night and by day, and dost not believe in thy life;

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！’

⁶⁷in the morning thou sayest, O that it were evening! and in the evening thou sayest, O that it were morning! from the fear of thy heart, with which thou art afraid, and from the sight of thine eyes which thou seest.

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。”

⁶⁸`And Jehovah hath brought thee back to Egypt with ships, by a way of which I said to thee, Thou dost not add any more to see it, and ye have sold yourselves there to thine enemies, for men-servants and for maid-servants, and there is no buyer.`
