Deuteronomy 28

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 “So then, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all of his commandments, which I instruct to you this day, the Lord your God will cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which exist upon the earth.	1 Sin audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, ut facias atque custo dias omnia mandata eius, quae ego praecipio tibi hodie, faciet te Dominus Deus tuus excelsiorem cunctis gentibus, quae versantur in terra,
2 And all these blessings shall come to you and take hold of you, but only if you listen to his precepts.	2 venientque super te universae benedictiones istae et apprehendent te, si tamen vocem Domini Dei tui audieris.
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed in the field.	3 Benedictus tu in civitate et benedictus in agro.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, and the fruit of your cattle, the droves of your herds, and the folds of your sheep.	4 Benedictus fructus ventris tui et fructus terrae tuae fructusque iumentorum tuorum, partus armentorum tuorum et incrementum ovium tuarum.
5 Blessed shall be your barns, and blessed your storehouses.	5 Benedictum canistrum et pistrinum tuum.
6 Blessed shall you be entering and departing.	6 Benedictus eris et ingrediens et egrediens.
7 The Lord will grant that your enemies, who rise up against you, will fall down in your sight. They will come against you by one way, and they will flee from your face by seven ways.	7 Dabit Dominus inimicos tuos, qui consurgunt adversum te, corruentes in conspectu tuo; per unam viam venient contra te et per septem fugient a facie tua.
8 The Lord will send forth a blessing upon your cellars, and upon all the works of your hands. And he will bless you in the land that you shall receive.	8 Emittet Dominus benedictionem super cellaria tua et super omnia opera manuum tuarum; benedicetque tibi in terra, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
9 The Lord will raise you up as a holy people for himself, just as he swore to you, if you will keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways.	9 Suscitabit te Dominus sibi in populum sanctum, sicut iuravit tibi, si custodieris mandata Domini Dei tui et ambulaveris in viis eius.
10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that the name of the Lord has been invoked over you, and they shall fear you.	10 Videbuntque omnes terrarum populi quod nomen Domini invocatum sit super te, et timebunt te.
11 The Lord will cause you be abundant in every good thing: in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, which the Lord swore to your fathers that he would give to you.	11 Abundare te faciet Dominus omnibus bonis, fructu uteri tui et fructu iumentorum tuorum, fructu terrae tuae, quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret tibi.
12 The Lord will open his excellent treasury, the heavens, so that it may distribute rain in due time. And he will bless all the works of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you yourself will borrow nothing from anyone.	12 Aperiet Dominus tibi thesaurum suum optimum, caelum, ut tribuat pluviam terrae tuae in tempore suo; benedicatque cunctis operibus manuum tuarum; et fenerabis gentibus multis et ipse a nullo fenus accipies.
13 And the Lord will appoint you as the head, and not as the tail. And you shall be always above, and not beneath. But only if you will listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I entrust to you this day, and will keep and do them,	13 Constituet te Dominus in caput et non in caudam, et eris semper supra et non subter, si audieris mandata Domini Dei tui, quae ego praecipio tibi hodie, et custodieris et feceris
14 and will not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor to the left, nor follow strange gods, nor worship them.	14 ac non declinaveris a verbis, quae ego praecipio vobis hodie, nec ad dexteram nec ad sinistram, nec secutus fueris deos alienos neque colueris eos.
15 But if you are not willing to listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day, all these curses shall come to you, and take hold of you.	15 Quod si audire nolueris vocem Domini Dei tui, ut custodias et facias omnia mandata eius et praecepta, quae ego praecipio tibi hodie, venient super te omnes maledictiones istae et apprehendent te:
16 Cursed shall you be in the city, cursed in the field.	16 Maledictus eris in civitate, maledictus in agro.
17 Cursed shall be your barn, and cursed your storehouses.	17 Maledictum canistrum et pistrinum tuum.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.	18 Maledictus fructus ventris tui et fructus terrae tuae, partus armentorum tuorum et incrementum ovium tuarum.
19 Cursed shall you be entering, and cursed departing.	19 Maledictus eris ingrediens et maledictus egrediens.
20 The Lord will send famine and hunger upon you, and a rebuke upon all the works that you do, until he quickly crushes and perishes you, because of your very wicked innovations, by which you have forsaken me.	20 Mittet Dominus super te maledictionem et conturbationem et increpationem in omnia opera tua, quae facies, donec conterat te et perdat velociter propter adinventiones tuas pessimas, in quibus reliquisti me.
21 May the Lord join a pestilence to you, until he consumes you from the land, which you shall enter so as to possess.	21 Adiunget Dominus tibi pestilentiam, donec consumat te de terra, ad quam ingredieris possidendam.
22 May the Lord strike you with destitution, with fever and cold, with burning and heat, and with polluted air and rot, and may he pursue you until you perish.	22 Percutiet te Dominus consumptione, febri et inflammatione, ardore et aestu, uredine ac aurugine, et persequentur te, donec pereas.
23 May the heavens which are above you be of brass, and may the ground upon which you tread be of iron.	23 Et erit caelum, quod est supra caput tuum, aeneum, et terra, quam calcas, ferrea.
24 May the Lord give you dust instead of rain upon your land, and may ashes descend from heaven over you, until you have been wiped away.	24 Convertet Dominus imbrem terrae tuae in pulverem, et de caelo descendet super te cinis, donec conteraris.
25 May the Lord hand you over to fall before your enemies. May you go forth against them by one way, and flee by seven ways, and may you be scattered across all the kingdoms of the earth.	25 Tradet te Dominus corruentem ante hostes tuos: per unam viam egredieris contra eos et per septem fugies et eris in terrorem omnibus regnis terrae.
26 And may your carcass be food for all the flying things of the air and the wild beasts of the land, and may there be no one to drive them away.	26 Eritque cadaver tuum in escam cunctis volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae, et non erit qui abigat.
27 May the Lord strike you with the ulcer of Egypt, and may he strike the part of your body, through which the dung goes out, with disease as well as itch, so much so that you are unable to be cured.	27 Percutiet te Dominus ulcere Aegypti et tumore, scabie quoque et prurigine, ita ut curari nequeas.
28 May the Lord strike you with frenzy and blindness and a madness of the mind.	28 Percutiet te Dominus amentia et caecitate ac stupore mentis;
29 And may you grope at midday, just as a blind man is accustomed to grope in darkness, and may your paths not be straight. And at all times may you suffer slander and be oppressed with violence, and may you have no one who may free you.	29 et palpabis in meridie, sicut palpare solet caecus in tenebris, et non diriges vias tuas. Omnique tempore eris oppressus et exspoliatus nec habebis, qui liberet te.
30 May you take a wife, though another sleeps with her. May you build a house, but not live within it. May you plant a vineyard, and not gather its vintage.	30 Uxorem accipies, et alius dormiet cum ea. Domum aedificabis et non habitabis in ea. Plantabis vineam et non vindemiabis eam.
31 May your ox be immolated before you, though you do not eat from it. May your donkey be seized in your sight, and not restored to you. May your sheep be given to your enemies, and may there be no one who may help you.	31 Bos tuus mactabitur coram te, et non comedes ex eo. Asinus tuus rapietur in conspectu tuo et non reddetur tibi. Oves tuae dabuntur inimicis tuis, et non erit qui te adiuvet.
32 May your sons and your daughters be handed over to another people, as your eyes watch and languish at the sight of them throughout the day, and may there be no strength in your hand.	32 Filii tui et filiae tuae tradentur alteri populo, videntibus oculis tuis et deficientibus ad conspectum eorum tota die, et non erit fortitudo in manu tua.
33 May a people you do not know eat the fruits of your land and of all your labors. And may you continually suffer from slander and oppression every day.	33 Fructus terrae tuae et omnes labores tuos comedet populus, quem ignoras, et eris semper oppressus et confractus cunctis diebus
34 And may you be stupefied at the terror of the things your eyes will see.	34 et insanies in aspectu eorum, quae videbunt oculi tui.
35 May the Lord strike you with a very grievous ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and may you be unable to attain health, from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.	35 Percutiet te Dominus ulcere pessimo in genibus et in suris, sanarique non poteris a planta pedis usque ad verticem tuum.
36 May the Lord lead you and your king, whom you will have appointed over yourself, into a nation which you and your fathers have not known. And there you will serve foreign gods, of wood and of stone.	36 Ducet te Dominus et regem tuum, quem constitueris super te, in gentem, quam ignorasti tu et patres tui, et servies ibi diis alienis, ligno et lapidi;
37 And you will become nothing but a proverb and a fable to all the peoples to whom the Lord will lead you.	37 et eris in stuporem et in proverbium ac fabulam omnibus populis, ad quos te introduxerit Dominus.
38 You will sow much seed upon the ground, but you will harvest little. For the locusts will devour everything.	38 Sementem multam iacies in terram et modicum congregabis, quia locustae devorabunt omnia.
39 You will dig and plant a vineyard, but you will not drink the wine, nor gather anything at all from it. For it will be devastated by worms.	39 Vineas plantabis et coles et vinum non bibes nec colliges ex ea quippiam, quoniam vastabitur vermibus.
40 You will have olive trees in all your borders, but you will not be anointed with the oil. For the olives will fall off and perish.	40 Olivas habebis in omnibus terminis tuis et non ungeris oleo, quia defluent et peribunt.
41 You will conceive sons and daughters, and you will not enjoy them. For they will be led into captivity.	41 Filios generabis et filias et non frueris eis, quoniam ducentur in captivitatem.
42 Rot will consume all the trees, as well as the fruits of your land.	42 Omnes arbores tuas et fruges terrae tuae locusta consumet.
43 The new arrival who lives with you in the land will ascend over you, and be higher. But you will descend, and be lower.	43 Advena, qui tecum versatur in terra, ascendet super te eritque sublimior; tu autem descendes et eris inferior.
44 He will lend to you, and you will not lend to him. He will be as the head, and you will be as the tail.	44 Ipse fenerabit tibi, et tu non fenerabis ei; ipse erit in caput, et tu eris in caudam.
45 And all these curses shall come to you, and shall pursue you, and shall take hold of you, until you pass away, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and you would not serve his commandments and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.	45 Et venient super te omnes maledictiones istae et persequentes apprehendent te, donec intereas, quia non audisti vocem Domini Dei tui nec servasti mandata eius et praecepta, quae praecepit tibi.
46 And there will be the signs and portents with you, and with your offspring, forever.	46 Et erunt in te signa atque prodigia et in semine tuo usque in sempiternum.
47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.	47 Eo quod non servieris Domino Deo tuo in gaudio cordisque laetitia propter rerum omnium abundantiam,
48 You will serve your enemy, whom the Lord will send to you, in hunger and thirst and nakedness, and in destitution of all things. And he will place an iron yoke upon your neck, until he has crushed you.	48 servies inimico tuo, quem immittet Dominus tibi, in fame et siti et nuditate et omnium penuria, et ponet iugum ferreum super cervicem tuam, donec te conterat.
49 The Lord will lead over you a nation from far away, even from the furthest parts of the earth, like an eagle flying with great force, whose language you are not able to understand:	49 Adducet Dominus super te gentem de longinquo et de extremis finibus terrae in similitudinem aquilae volantis cum impetu, cuius linguam intellegere non possis:
50 a very insolent nation, which will show no deference to elders, nor take pity on little ones.	50 gentem procacissimam, quae non deferat seni nec misereatur parvulo;
51 And he will devour the fruit of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, until you have passed away, without leaving behind you wheat, or wine, or oil, or herds of oxen, or flocks of sheep: until he utterly destroys you.	51 et devoret fructum iumentorum tuorum ac fruges terrae tuae, donec intereas, et non relinquat tibi triticum, vinum et oleum, partum armentorum et incrementum ovium, donec te disperdat
52 And he will crush you in all your cities. And your strong and lofty walls, in which you trusted, will be destroyed throughout all your land. You will be besieged within your gates throughout all your land, which the Lord your God will give to you.	52 et obsideat te in cunctis urbibus tuis, donec destruantur muri tui firmi atque sublimes, in quibus habebas fiduciam in omni terra tua. Obsideberis intra portas tuas in omni terra tua, quam dabit tibi Dominus Deus tuus,
53 And you will eat the fruit of your womb, and the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which the Lord your God will give to you, due to the anguish and devastation with which your enemy will oppress you.	53 et comedes fructum uteri tui, carnes filiorum tuorum et filiarum tuarum, quas dederit tibi Dominus Deus tuus, in obsidione et angustia, qua opprimet te hostis tuus.
54 The man who is pampered and very self-indulgent among you will vie with his own brother, and with the wife who lies at his bosom,	54 Homo tener in te et delicatus valde invidebit fratri suo et uxori, quae cubat in sinu suo, et residuis filiis suis, quos reservaverit,
55 lest he give to them from the flesh of his sons, which he will eat. For he has nothing else due to the siege and the destitution, with which your enemies will devastate you within all your gates.	55 ne det uni ex eis de carnibus filiorum suorum, quas comedet, eo quod nihil aliud habeat in obsidione et angustia, qua oppresserit te inimicus tuus intra omnes portas tuas.
56 The tender and pampered woman, who would not walk upon the soil, nor step firmly with her foot due to her very great softness and tenderness, will vie with her husband, who lies at her bosom, over the flesh of son and of daughter,	56 Tenera mulier in te et delicata, quae non tentabat pedis vestigium figere in terram propter mollitiem et teneritudinem nimiam, invidebit viro suo, qui cubat in sinu eius, filio et filiae
57 and over the filth of the afterbirth, which goes forth from between her thighs, and over the children who are born in the same hour. For they will eat them secretly, due to the scarcity of all things during the siege and the devastation, with which your enemy will oppress you within your gates.	57 et illuviei secundarum, quae egrediuntur de medio feminum eius, et liberis, qui eadem hora nati sunt; comedet enim eos clam propter rerum omnium penuriam in obsidione et angustia, qua opprimet te inimicus tuus intra portas tuas.
58 If you will not keep and do all the words of this law, which have been written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name, that is, the Lord your God,	58 Nisi custodieris et feceris omnia verba legis huius, quae scripta sunt in hoc volumine, et timueris nomen gloriosum et terribile hoc, Dominum Deum tuum,
59 then the Lord will increase your plagues, and the plagues of your offspring, plagues great and long-lasting, infirmities very grievous and continuous.	59 augebit ultra modum Dominus plagas tuas et plagas seminis tui, plagas magnas et perseverantes, infirmitates pessimas et perpetuas,
60 And he will turn back upon you all the afflictions of Egypt, which you fear, and these will cling to you.	60 et convertet in te omnes afflictiones Aegypti, quas timuisti, et adhaerebunt tibi.
61 In addition, the Lord will lead over you all the diseases and plagues that are not written in the volume of this law, until he crushes you.	61 Insuper universos languores et plagas, quae non sunt scriptae in volumine legis huius, inducet Dominus super te, donec te conterat;
62 And you will remain few in number, though you were before like the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.	62 et remanebitis pauci numero, qui prius eratis sicut astra caeli prae multitudine, quoniam non audisti vocem Domini Dei tui.
63 And just as before, when the Lord rejoiced over you, doing good for you and multiplying you, so shall he rejoice, scattering and overturning you, so as to take you away from the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.	63 Et sicut ante laetatus est Dominus super vos bene vobis faciens vosque multiplicans, sic laetabitur super vos disperdens vos atque subvertens, ut auferamini de terra, ad quam ingredieris possidendam.
64 The Lord will disperse you among all the peoples, from the heights of the earth to its furthest limits. And there you will serve foreign gods of wood and of stone, which you and your fathers did not know.	64 Disperget te Dominus in omnes populos a summitate terrae usque ad terminos eius, et servies ibi diis alienis, quos et tu ignorasti et patres tui, lignis et lapidibus.
65 Similarly, you will not have tranquility, even within those nations, nor will there be any rest for the steps of your feet. For the Lord will give to you in that place a fearful heart, and failing eyes, and a life consumed with grieving.	65 In gentibus quoque illis non quiesces, neque erit requies vestigio pedis tui; dabit enim tibi Dominus ibi cor pavidum et deficientes oculos et animam consumptam maerore.
66 And your life will be as if it were hanging before you. You will be afraid night and day, and you will not have confidence in your own life.	66 Et erit vita tua quasi pendens ante te; timebis nocte et die et non credes vitae tuae.
67 In the morning you will say, ‘Who will grant evening to me?’ and at evening, ‘Who will grant morning to me?’ because of the dread of your heart, with which you will be terrified, and because of those things that you will see with your eyes.	67 Mane dices: “Quis mihi det vesperum?”; et vespere: “Quis mihi det mane?”, propter cordis tui formidinem, qua terreberis, et propter ea, quae tuis videbis oculis.
68 The Lord will lead you back into Egypt with a fleet of ships, along the way, about which he said to you that you would not see it again. In that place, you will be put up for sale as men and women servants to your enemies, but there will be no one willing to buy you.”	68 Reducet te Dominus classibus in Aegyptum per viam, de qua dixi tibi, ut eam amplius non videres; ibi vendetis vos inimicis vestris in servos et ancillas, et non erit qui emat ”.
	69 Haec sunt verba foederis, quod praecepit Dominus Moysi, ut feriret cum filiis Israel in terra Moab, praeter illud foedus, quod cum eis pepigit in Horeb.
