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 .
Svētības vārdi
(3Moz 26:1–135Moz 7:12–24)1 Ja tu klausīt klausīsi Kungu, savu Dievu, ja turēsi un pildīsi visus viņa baušļus, ko es tev šodien pavēlu, tad Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi darīs augstāku par visām tautām. 2 Tad pār tevi nāks visas šīs svētības, tās tev piepildīsies, ja tu klausīsi Kungu, savu Dievu:
3 svētīts tu būsi pilsētā, un svētīts tu būsi uz lauka.
4 Svētīts tavas miesas auglis, tavas zemes auglis un tavu lopu auglis – tavu liellopu vaislība un tavu sīklopu auglība.
5 Svētīts tavs grozs un tava maizes abra.
6 Svētīts tu ienākdams, un svētīts tu iziedams!
7 Tavus ienaidniekus, kas celsies pret tevi, Kungs satrieks tavā priekšā, – pa vienu ceļu tie nāks pret tevi, pa septiņiem ceļiem tie bēgs no tevis!
8 Kungs dos svētību tavām klētīm un visam, ko tu darīsi, svētīs tevi tajā zemē, ko Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dod. 9 Kungs tevi darīs par svētu tautu, kā viņš tev zvērējis, ja tu turēsi Kunga, sava Dieva, baušļus un staigāsi viņa ceļos. 10 Visas zemes tautas redzēs, ka tu tiec saukts Kunga vārdā, un bīsies tevis!
11 Kungs dāsni vairos tavas miesas augļus, tavu lopu augļus un tavas zemes augļus zemē, ko Kungs taviem tēviem zvērējis tev dot! 12 Kungs tev atvērs savu dārgumu krātuvi – debesis, laikā dos tavai zemei lietu un svētīs visu, ko tu dari, lai tu varētu aizdot daudzām tautām, bet tev nebūtu jāaizņemas! 13 Kungs darīs tevi par galvu, ne asti, tu iesi tikai augšup, ne lejup, ja klausīsi Kunga, sava Dieva, baušļiem, kā es tev šodien pavēlu, lai tu tos turi un pildi. 14 Nenovērsies ne pa labi, ne pa kreisi ne no viena vārda, ko es tev šodien pavēlu, neseko citiem dieviem, lai tiem kalpotu!
Lāsti par nepaklausību
(2Moz 9:8–123Moz 26:14–46)15 Ja tu neklausīsi Kungu, savu Dievu, ja neturēsi un nepildīsi viņa baušļus un likumus, kā es tev šodien pavēlu, tad pār tevi nāks visi šie lāsti un tie tev piepildīsies: 16 nolādēts tu būsi pilsētā, un nolādēts tu būsi uz lauka. 17 Nolādēts tavs grozs un tava maizes abra. 18 Nolādēts tavas miesas auglis un tavas zemes auglis – tavu liellopu vaislība un tavu sīklopu auglība. 19 Nolādēts tu ienākdams, un nolādēts tu iziedams. 20 Kungs sūtīs lāstu, nemieru un neveiksmi visam, ko tu darīsi, – līdz tu tiksi iznīcināts un jo drīz iesi bojā savu ļauno darbu dēļ, ka atmeti mani! 21 Kungs tev uzlaidīs mēri un piebeigs tevi tajā zemē, kuru tu ej iemantot. 22 Kungs sitīs tevi ar diloni, drudzi un karsoni, svelmi un sausumu, un labības rūsu un dzelti, un tie tevi vajās, līdz tu aiziesi bojā! 23 Debesis tev virs galvas būs no vara un zeme zem tavām kājām no dzelzs! 24 Lietus vietā Kungs tavai zemei dos putekļus un pīšļus, tie nāks no debesīm pār tevi, līdz tu būsi iznīcināts. 25 Kungs liks taviem ienaidniekiem tevi sakaut – pa vienu ceļu tu iesi pret tiem, pa septiņiem ceļiem tu bēgsi! Tu kļūsi par šaušalām visām zemes ķēniņvalstīm! 26 Tavi līķi būs barība visiem debesu putniem un visiem zemes zvēriem – neviens tos nebaidīs prom!
27 Kungs jūs sitīs ar Ēģiptes trumiem, augoņiem, kraupi un kašķi, ko nevar ārstēt! 28 Kungs jūs sitīs ar trakumu, aklumu un stulbumu! 29 Dienas vidū tu taustīsies kā aklais tumsā, nekas tev neveiksies, vienmēr tu būsi apspiests un aplaupīts, tev nebūs glābēja! 30 Sievu tu saderēsi, bet cits vīrs to piegulēs! Namu tu uzbūvēsi, bet pats tajā nedzīvosi! Vīnadārzu iestādīsi, bet neko nenovāksi! 31 Tavu vērsi nokaus tavu acu priekšā, bet tu to neēdīsi! Tavu ēzeli nolaupīs, tev redzot, un atpakaļ tu to nedabūsi! Tavu avi atdos taviem ienaidniekiem, glābēja tev nebūs! 32 Tavus dēlus un meitas atdos citām tautām, un tavas acis bez mitas raudzīsies un ilgosies pēc tiem, bet tu neko nejaudāsi. 33 Tavas zemes augļus un visus tavus pūliņus ēdīs tauta, ko tu nepazīsti, un tu mūžam paliksi apspiests un satriekts. 34 Tu paliksi traks no tā, ko redzēs tavas acis, no tā, ko tu ieraudzīsi! 35 Tavus stilbus un ceļus Kungs sitīs ar ļauniem un nedziedējamiem augoņiem – no kāju pēdām līdz pakausim! 36 Tevi un tavu ķēniņu, ko tu sev būsi iecēlis, Kungs vedīs pie tautas, ko nepazīsti ne tu, ne tavi tēvi, un tur tu vergosi citiem dieviem – kokam un akmenim! 37 Lai kurp tevi Kungs vestu, pie visām tautām tu kļūsi par šausmām, par biedēkli un apsmieklu!
38 Daudz sēklas tu kaisīsi uz lauka, bet maz savāksi – visu aprīs siseņi! 39 Vīnadārzu tu stādīsi un kopsi, bet vīnu tu ne dzersi, ne ievāksi – to apēdīs tārpi! 40 Tev it visur būs olīvkoki, bet eļļu tu nespiedīsi – nobirs tavas olīvas! 41 Dēlus un meitas tu dzemdēsi, bet ne sev – tie aizies gūstā! 42 Visus tavus kokus un zemes augļus dabūs siseņi! 43 Svešinieks, kas mīt pie tevis, taps par tevi lielāks un lielāks, bet tu grimsi zemāk un zemāk! 44 Viņš aizdos tev, bet tu viņam neaizdosi – viņš būs galva, bet tu aste!
45 Visi šie lāsti nāks pār tevi un vajās tevi, tie piemeklēs tevi, līdz tu tiksi iznīcināts, jo neklausīji Kungu, savu Dievu, neturēji viņa baušļus un likumus, ko viņš tev bija pavēlējis. 46 Tie lai ir par zīmi un brīnumu tev un taviem pēcnācējiem uz mūžiem! 47 Tādēļ ka tu nekalpoji Kungam, savam Dievam, ar prieku un no labas sirds, kad tev visa bija daudz, 48 tu kalposi saviem ienaidniekiem, ko Kungs tev uzsūtīs, badā, slāpēs, plikumā un trūkumā, viņš mauks tev kaklā dzelzs jūgu, līdz tu tiksi iznīcināts!
49 Kungs liks, lai pret tevi ceļas tauta no tālienes, no zemes pamales, tie laidīsies kā ērglis – tauta, kuras valodu tu nepratīsi, 50 nežēlīga tauta, kas negodā vecu un nežēlo jaunu. 51 Tie ēdīs tavu lopu jaundzimušos un tavas zemes ražu, kamēr tu būsi pagalam, tie neatstās tev ne maizi, ne jaunvīnu, ne eļļu, ne liellopu vaislību, ne sīklopu auglību, līdz tu aiziesi bojā! 52 Tie lenks tevi visās pilsētās, līdz gāzīsies tavi augstie un nocietinātie mūri, uz ko tu paļāvies, visā tavā zemē! Tie ielenks tevi visās pilsētās visā tavā zemē, ko tev devis Kungs, tavs Dievs. 53 Tad tu ēdīsi savas miesas augļus, savu dēlu un meitu miesu, ko tev devis Kungs, tavs Dievs, aplenkumā un žņaugos, ar ko tevi žņaugs tavi ienaidnieki. 54 Pat vismaigākais un jūtīgākais vīrs ļauni glūnēs uz savu brāli, uz paša sievu un tiem dēliem, kas vēl atlikuši, – 55 nedos nevienam savu dēlu gaļu, to ēdīs pats, jo nekas tam vairs nebūs atlicis aplenkumā un žņaugos, ar ko tavi ienaidnieki tevi žņaugs visās pilsētās. 56 Pat vismaigākā un jūtīgākā sieva, kas ne kāju pie zemes nelika sava maiguma un jūtīguma dēļ, ļauni glūnēs uz pašas vīru, uz saviem dēliem un meitām, 57 uz pašas pēcnācējiem, kas tai starp kājām nākuši, uz pašas dēliem, ko dzemdējusi, – tos viņa slepeni ēdīs, kad nebūs nekā, aplenkumā un žņaugos, ar ko tavi ienaidnieki žņaugs tevi visās pilsētās.
58 Ja tu neturēsi un nepildīsi visus šīs bauslības vārdus, kas rakstīti šajā grāmatā, ja nebīsies Kunga, sava Dieva, šī godājamā un bijājamā vārda, 59 tad Kungs darīs apbrīnojami lielas tavas un tavu pēcnācēju brūces, lielas un dziļas brūces, ļaunas un ilgas slimības! 60 Viņš atkal uzsūtīs tev visas Ēģiptes sērgas, no kā tu baidies, un tās tev pielips! 61 Kungs liks, lai pār tevi nāk arī visas slimības un brūces, kas nav aprakstītas šīs bauslības grāmatā, līdz tu tiksi iznīcināts! 62 Un tevis būs palicis krietni maz, kur tu biji kā zvaigznes debesīs, jo tu neklausīji Kungu, savu Dievu! 63 Un, kā Kungs par jums līksmoja, darīdams labu un vairodams jūs, tāpat Kungs līksmos par jums, deldēdams un jūs iznīcinādams, – tu tiksi izrauts no zemes, kuru tu gāji iemantot! 64 Kungs izkaisīs tevi starp visām tautām no vienas zemes malas līdz otrai, un tur tu kalposi citiem dieviem, ko nepazini ne tu, ne tavi tēvi, – kokam un akmenim. 65 Starp šīm tautām tev nebūs nedz mirkļa atpūtai, nedz miera tavu kāju pēdām, tur Kungs tev dos bailīgu sirdi, acu postu un nonīkušu dvēseli. 66 Tava dzīvība karāsies mata galā, tu baiļosies dienu un nakti, un dzīvē tev nebūs drošuma. 67 No rīta tu teiksi: kaut būtu vakars! – un vakarā tu teiksi: kaut būtu rīts! – savu sirds baiļu dēļ, ko tu baiļosies, un dēļ tā, ko redzēs tavas acis. 68 Kungs liks tev ar kuģiem atgriezties Ēģiptē pa ceļu, par ko es tev solīju, ka tev to vairs neredzēt, tur jūs gribēsiet pārdoties saviem ienaidniekiem par vergiem un verdzenēm, bet neviens jūs nepirks!”
69 Šie ir tās derības vārdi, kuru Kungs pavēlēja Mozum, derēdams ar Israēla dēliem Moāba zemē, papildus tai derībai, ko viņš ar tiem bija noslēdzis Horebā.
