Leviticus 26

lo-ta'asu lakhem elilim ufesel umatsevah lo-taqimu lakhem ve'even maskit lo tittenu be'artsekhem lehishtakhavot aleha ki ani Adonai elohekhem

You shall not make idols for yourselves, or set up for yourselves carved images or pillars, or place figured stones in your land to worship upon, for I the ETERNAL am your God.

et-shabbetotay tishmoru umiqdashi tira'u ani Adonai

You shall keep My sabbaths and venerate My sanctuary, Mine, GOD’s.

im-bekhuqqotay telekhu ve'et-mitsvotay tishmeru va'asitem otam

If you follow My laws and faithfully observe My commandments,

venatatti gishmekhem be'ittam venatenah ha'arets yevulah ve'ets hassadeh yitten piryo

I will grant your rains in their season, so that the earth shall yield its produce and the trees of the field their fruit.

vehissig lakhem dayish et-batsir uvatsir yassig et-zara va'akhaltem lakhmekhem lasova vishavtem lavetakh be'artsekhem

Your threshing shall overtake the vintage, and your vintage shall overtake the sowing; you shall eat your fill of bread and dwell securely in your land.

venatatti shalom ba'arets ushekhavtem ve'en makharid vehishbatti khayyah ra'ah min-ha'arets vekherev lo-ta'avor be'artsekhem

I will grant peace in the land, and you shall lie down untroubled by anyone; I will give the land respite from vicious beasts, and no sword shall cross your land.

uredaftem et-oyevekhem venafelu lifnekhem lekharev

You shall give chase to your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

veradefu mikkem khamisha me'ah ume'ah mikkem revavah yirdofu venafelu oyevekhem lifnekhem lekharev

Five of you shall give chase to a hundred, and a hundred of you shall give chase to ten thousand; your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

ufaniti alekhem vehifreti etkhem vehirbeti etkhem vahaqimoti et-beriti ittekhem

I will look with favor upon you, and make you fertile and multiply you; and I will maintain My covenant with you.

va'akhaltem yashan noshan veyashan mippene khadash totsi'u

You shall eat old grain long stored, and you shall have to clear out the old to make room for the new.

venatatti mishkani betokhekhem velo-tigal nafshi etkhem

I will establish My abode in your midst, and I will not spurn you.

vehithallakhti betokhekhem vehayiti lakhem lelohim ve'attem tihyu-li le'am

I will be ever present in your midst: I will be your God, and you shall be My people.

ani Adonai elohekhem asher hotseti etkhem me'erets mitsrayim mihyot lahem avadim va'eshbor motot ullekhem va'olekh etkhem qomemiyyut

I the ETERNAL am your God, who brought you out from the land of the Egyptians to be their slaves no more, who broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.

ve'im-lo tishme'u li velo ta'asu et kol-hammitsvot ha'elleh

But if you do not obey Me and do not observe all these commandments,

ve'im-bekhuqqotay timasu ve'im et-mishpatay tigal nafshekhem levilti asot et-kol-mitsvotay lehafrekhem et-beriti

if you reject My laws and spurn My rules, so that you do not observe all My commandments and you break My covenant,

af-ani e'eseh-zzot lakhem vehifqadti alekhem behalah et-hashakhefet ve'et-haqqaddakhat mekhallot enayim umedivot nafesh uzeratem lariq zarakhem va'akhaluhu oyevekhem

I in turn will do this to you: I will wreak misery upon you—consumption and fever, which cause the eyes to pine and the body to languish; you shall sow your seed to no purpose, for your enemies shall eat it.

venatatti fanay bakhem veniggaftem lifne oyevekhem veradu vakhem sone'ekhem venastem ve'en-rodef etkhem

I will set My face against you: you shall be routed by your enemies, and your foes shall dominate you. You shall flee though none pursues.

ve'im-ad-elleh lo tishme'u li veyasafti leyasserah etkhem sheva al-khattotekhem

And if, for all that, you do not obey Me, I will go on to discipline you sevenfold for your sins,

veshavarti et-ge'on uzzekhem venatatti et-shemekhem kabbarzel ve'et-artsekhem kannekhushah

and I will break your proud glory. I will make your skies like iron and your earth like copper,

vetam lariq kokhakhem velo-titten artsekhem et-yevulah ve'ets ha'arets lo yitten piryo

so that your strength shall be spent to no purpose. Your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

ve'im-telekhu immi qeri velo tovu lishmoa li veyasafti alekhem makkah sheva kekhattotekhem

And if you remain hostile toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will go on smiting you sevenfold for your sins.

vehishlakhti vakhem et-khayyat hassadeh veshikkelah etkhem vehikhritah et-behemtekhem vehimitah etkhem venashammu darkhekhem

I will loose wild beasts against you, and they shall bereave you of your children and wipe out your cattle. They shall decimate you, and your roads shall be deserted.

ve'im-be'elleh lo tivvaseru li vahalakhtem immi qeri

And if these things fail to discipline you for Me, and you remain hostile to Me,

vehalakhti af-ani immakhem beqeri vehikketi etkhem gam-ani sheva al-khattotekhem

I too will remain hostile to you: I in turn will smite you sevenfold for your sins.

veheveti alekhem kherev noqemet neqam-berit vene'esaftem el-arekhem veshillakhti dever betokhekhem venittattem beyad-oyev

I will bring a sword against you to wreak vengeance for the covenant; and if you withdraw into your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into enemy hands.

beshivri lakhem matteh-lekhem ve'afu eser nashim lakhmekhem betannur ekhad veheshivu lakhmekhem bammishqal va'akhaltem velo tisba'u

When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven; they shall dole out your bread by weight, and though you eat, you shall not be satisfied.

ve'im-bezot lo tishme'u li vahalakhtem immi beqeri

But if, despite this, you disobey Me and remain hostile to Me,

vehalakhti immakhem bakhamat-qeri veyissarti etkhem af-ani sheva al-khattotekhem

I will act against you in wrathful hostility; I, for My part, will discipline you sevenfold for your sins.

va'akhaltem besar benekhem uvesar benotekhem tokhelu

You shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.

vehishmadti et-bamotekhem vehikhratti et-khammanekhem venatatti et-pigrekhem al-pigre gillulekhem vega'alah nafshi etkhem

I will destroy your cult places and cut down your incense stands, and I will heap your carcasses upon your lifeless fetishes. I will spurn you.

venatatti et-arekhem khorbah vahashimmoti et-miqdeshekhem velo ariakh bereakh nikhokhakhem

I will lay your cities in ruin and make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not savor your pleasing odors.

vahashimmoti ani et-ha'arets veshamemu aleha oyevekhem hayyoshevim bah

I will make the land desolate, so that your enemies who settle in it shall be appalled by it.

ve'etkhem ezareh vaggoyim vahariqoti akharekhem kharev vehayetah artsekhem shemamah ve'arekhem yihyu khorbah

And you I will scatter among the nations, and I will unsheath the sword against you. Your land shall become a desolation and your cities a ruin.

az tirtseh ha'arets et-shabbetoteha kol yeme hoshammah ve'attem be'erets oyevekhem az tishbat ha'arets vehirtsat et-shabbetoteha

Then shall the land make up for its sabbath years throughout the time that it is desolate and you are in the land of your enemies; then shall the land rest and make up for its sabbath years.

kol-yeme hoshammah tishbot et asher lo-shavetah beshabbetotekhem beshivtekhem aleha

Throughout the time that it is desolate, it shall observe the rest that it did not observe in your sabbath years while you were dwelling upon it.

vehannisharim bakhem veheveti morekh bilvavam be'artsot oyevehem veradaf otam qol aleh niddaf venasu menusat-kherev venafelu ve'en rodef

As for those of you who survive, I will cast a faintness into their hearts in the land of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf shall put them to flight. Fleeing as though from the sword, they shall fall though none pursues.

vekhashelu ish-be'akhiv kemippene-kherev verodef ayin velo-tihyeh lakhem tequmah lifne oyevekhem

With no one pursuing, they shall stumble over one another as before the sword. You shall not be able to stand your ground before your enemies,

va'avadtem baggoyim ve'okhlah etkhem erets oyevekhem

but shall perish among the nations; and the land of your enemies shall consume you.

vehannisharim bakhem yimmaqqu ba'avonam be'artsot oyevekhem ve'af ba'avonot avotam ittam yimmaqqu

Those of you who survive shall be heartsick over their iniquity in the land of your enemies; more, they shall be heartsick over the iniquities of their forebears;

vehitvaddu et-avonam ve'et-avon avotam bema'alam asher ma'alu-vi ve'af asher-halekhu immi beqeri

and they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forebears, in that they trespassed against Me, yea, were hostile to Me.

af-ani elekh immam beqeri veheveti otam be'erets oyevehem o-az yikkana levavam he'arel ve'az yirtsu et-avonam

When I, in turn, have been hostile to them and have removed them into the land of their enemies, then at last shall their obdurate heart humble itself, and they shall atone for their iniquity.

vezakharti et-beriti ya'aqov ve'af et-beriti yitskhaq ve'af et-beriti avraham ezkor veha'arets ezkor

Then will I remember My covenant with Jacob; I will remember also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.

veha'arets te'azev mehem vetirets et-shabbetoteha bohshammah mehem vehem yirtsu et-avonam ya'an uveya'an bemishpatay ma'asu ve'et-khuqqotay ga'alah nafsham

For the land shall be forsaken of them, making up for its sabbath years by being desolate of them, while they atone for their iniquity; for the abundant reason that they rejected My rules and spurned My laws.

ve'af-gam-zot bihyotam be'erets oyevehem lo-me'astim velo-ge'altim lekhallotam lehafer beriti ittam ki ani Adonai elohehem

Yet, even then, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or spurn them so as to destroy them, annulling My covenant with them: for I the ETERNAL am their God.

vezakharti lahem berit rishonim asher hotseti-otam me'erets mitsrayim le'ene haggoyim lihyot lahem lelohim ani Adonai

I will remember in their favor the covenant with the ancients, whom I freed from the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God: I, the ETERNAL.

elleh hakhuqqim vehammishpatim vehattorot asher natan Adonai beno uven bene yisra'el behar sinay beyad-mosheh

These are the laws, rules, and instructions that GOD established, through Moses on Mount Sinai, with the Israelite people.
