Dt 28:47-69 Of war and exile to come

[조용한]

47  'For failing to serve Yahweh your God in the joy and happiness that come from an abundance of all things,

48  you will submit to the enemies that Yahweh will send against you, in hunger, thirst, nakedness, untter destitution. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until you perish.

49  'Yahweh will raise against you a far-off nation form the ends of the earth, like an eagle taking wing. This will be a nation whose language you do not understand,

50  a nation grim of face, with neither respect for the old, nor pity for the young.

51  They will eat the offspring of your cattle and the produce of your soil until you perish, leaving you neither corn nor wine nor oil nor increase of your cattle nor young of your flock, until they make an end of you.

52  They will besiege you in all your towns until your loftiest and most strong fortified walls collapse, the walls on which you relied within your frontiers. They will besiege you in all the towns that Yahweh gives you.

53  During the siege and in the distress to which your enemies will reduce you, you will eat the fruit of your body, the flesh of those sons and daughters of yours whom Yahweh has given you.

54  The tenderest and most fastidious among you will glower at his brother, even at the wife he cherishes and at the children that are left to him,

55  ghrudging them a share in the flesh of those children of his that he is eating, for during the siege and in the distress to which your enemies will reduce you in all your towns, there will be noting left to him.

56  The tenderest and most fastitious woman among you, so tender, so fastidious that she has never ventured to set the sole of her foot to the ground, will glower at the  husband she cherishes, even at her son and her daughter,

57  and hide from them the afterbirth of her womb and the child she bears to eat them, so utter will be the distitution during the siege and in the distress to which your enemies will reduce you in all your towns.

58  'If you do not keep and observe all the words of this Law that are written in this book, in the fear of this name of glory and awe: Yahweh your God,

59  Yahweh will strike you down with monstrous plagues, you and your descendants: with plagues grievous and lasting, diseases pernicious and enduring.

60  Once more he will bring on you the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will infect you.

61  Further, Yahweh will bring on you every sickness, every plague, not mentioned in the Book of this Law, until you perish.

62  There will be only a handful of you left, you who were as many as the stars of heaven. 'For not obeying the voice of Yahweh your God,

63  just as Yahweh took delight in giving you prosperity and increase, so now he will take delight in bringing you ruin and destruction. You will be torn from the land which you are entering to make your own.

64  Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other; there you will serve other gods of wood and of stone that neither you nor your fathers have known.

65  Among these nations there will be no repose for you, no rest for the sole of your foot; Yahweh will give you a quaking heart, weary eyes, halting breath.

66  Your life from the outset will be a burden to you; night and day you will go in fear, uncertain of your life.

67  In the morning you will say, "How I wish it were evening!", and in the evening, "How I wish it were morning!", such terror will grip your heart, such sights your eyes will see.

68  Yahweh will take you bakc to Egypt by sea and by land, though I had promised you: You will not see it again.And there you will want to sell yourselves to your enemies as serving men and women, but no one will buy you.'

69  These are the words of the covenant which Yahweh ordered Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant he had made with them at Horeb.
