And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently to 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 the nations of the earth:

And it shall be, if you heed the voice of the L-rd your G-d to observe to do all of His mitzvoth that I command you today, then the L-rd your G-d shall exalt you above all the nations of the earth.

And you do not deviate from all the statements that I am commanding you today to the right or to the left, to follow other gods to serve them.

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.

And you shall not deviate from all of the things that I command you this day, right and left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Should you not obey Adonoy, your God, to guard to perform all His commandments and His statutes that I am commanding you today; then all these curses will come upon you and will reach you.

But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken to 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:

And the heavens above your head will be like copper and the earth that is beneath you, iron.

And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

And your skies over your head shall be as brass, and your earth under you, as iron [as opposed to (Leviticus 26:19): "And I shall make your skies as iron and your earth as brass," these being stated by the L-rd Himself, and being more severe, in that iron does not "sweat" (implying that the skies will provide no moisture whatsoever) and brass does "sweat" implying that the fruit will rot), whereas the curses here are stated by Moses, who attenuated them.]

Since you did not serve Adonoy, your God, with joy and goodheartedness, in total affluence.

Because thou wouldst not serve the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

Because you did not serve the L-rd your G-d with joy and with goodness of heart when you had an abundance of all.

The man of extreme delicacy among you [who would normally recoil from anything offensive] — his eye will be grudging to his brother and the wife of his bosom and the rest of his sons whom he shall leave,

From giving to any of them of the flesh of his sons that he is eating for [fear of] not leaving everything for himself; in siege and in distress that your enemy will distress you in all your cities.

so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, when he has nothing left him; because of the siege, and of the distress, with which thy enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

If you will not guard to perform all the statements of this Torah that are written in this book to fear the respected and awesome Name, of Adonoy, your God.

If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this Tora that are written in this book, that thou mayst fear this glorious and fearful name, the Lord thy God;

If you do not observe to do all the words of this Torah that are written in this scroll to fear this honored, awesome Name, the L-rd your G-d.

Adonoy will strike you with prodigous blows and blows on your offspring, blows, great and dependable and illnesses harmful and dependable.

then the Lord will make thy plagues remarkable, and the plagues of thy offspring, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses, and of long continuance.

Then the L-rd will make distinctive [from all other plagues] your plagues, and the plagues of your seed, plagues great and trusted ["to fulfill their embassy"], and sore, trusty illnesses.

He will bring back for you all the Egyptian diseases which you dreaded and they will cling to you.

You will remain numerically few instead of your having been like the stars in the sky, multitudinous; for you have not obeyed Adonoy, your God.

And you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldst not obey the voice of the Lord thy God.

And you will remain but few in number instead of being like the stars of heaven in multitude, for not having heeded the voice of the L-rd your G-d.

It will happen that as Adonoy rejoiced over you to benefit you and to multiply you, so will Adonoy bring joy to others over you to remove you and to destroy you; and you will be uprooted from upon the land that you are coming there to inherit.

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 annihilate you; and you shall be plucked from off the land into which thou goest to possess it.

And it shall be that just as the L-rd rejoiced over you to do good to you and to increase you, so will the L-rd rejoice [others] over you to destroy you and to annihilate you, and you will be uprooted from the land whither you are coming to inherit it.

And the L-rd will scatter you among all the peoples, from one end of the earth until the other, and you will serve there [(by paying tribute and poll-tax to the priests of idolatry)] other gods, that you did not know, you and your fathers, wood and stone.

And among those nations you will not be tranquil and there will be no rest for the sole of your foot; and Adonoy will give you there a fearful heart and pining eyes and disillusioned spirit.

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 despair of mind:

And among those nations you shall not find ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot; and the L-rd shall give you there a quaking heart, and failing of eyes [aspiring to the salvation that does not come], and despair of soul.

Your life will dangle before you, and you will be in fear night and day, and will have no faith in your living.

and thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have no assurance of thy life:

And your life shall be hanging [in doubt] before you [in your constant apprehension of death], and you will fear night and day, and you will not believe in your life.

In the morning you will say, ‘‘Would that it were evening,’’ and in the evening you will say, ‘‘Would that it were morning,’’ from the fear in your heart that you will fear and from the sights of your eyes that you will see.

in the morning thou shalt say, Would it were evening! and at evening thou shalt say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart with which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thy eyes which thou shalt see.

In the morning you will say: Would that it were evening [of the preceding day], and in the evening you will say: Would that it were [the preceding] morning [(your suffering increasing progressively)], from the fear of your heart that you shall fear, and from the sight of your eyes that you shall see.

Adonoy will send you back to Egypt on ships, along the route that I told you, ‘‘You are not to see it again,’’ and there you will attempt to sell yourselves to your enemies as slaves and as maidservants but no one will buy.

And the Lord shall bring thee back into Miżrayim with ships, by that road of which I spoke to thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there you shall be sold to your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

And the L-rd will return you to Egypt in boats [in captivity] by the way, of which I said to you: You shall not venture to see it again; and you shall [desire to] be sold there to your foes [as bondsmen and bondswomen] — but there shall be no buyer, [for death and destruction shall be decreed upon you.]

These are the statements of the covenant that Adonoy commanded Moshe to ratify with Bnei Yisroel in the land of Moav, beside the covenant that he had made with them at Choreiv.

These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moshe to make with the children of Yisra᾽el in the land of Mo᾽av, besides the covenant which he made with them in Ḥorev.

These are the words of the covenant that the L-rd commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel, [that they take the Torah upon themselves under imprecation and oath] in the land of Moav, aside from the covenant which He made with them in Chorev [i.e., aside from the curses in Leviticus stated at Sinai.]
