1 Julle mag vir julle geen afgode maak nie; en 'n gesnede beeld of 'n klippilaar mag julle vir julle nie oprig nie en 'n steen met beeldhouwerk in julle land nie opstel om julle daarby neer te buig nie; want Ek is die HERE julle God.

2 My sabbatte moet julle hou en my heiligdom ontsien. Ek is die HERE.

3 As julle in my insettinge wandel en my gebooie hou en dit doen,

4 sal Ek julle reëns gee op die regte tyd, en die land sal sy opbrings gee, en die bome van die veld sal hulle vrugte gee.

5 En die dorstyd sal vir julle aanhou tot die druiwe oes, en die druiwe oes sal aanhou tot die saaityd, en julle sal jul brood volop eet en veilig in julle land woon.

6 Ook sal Ek vrede gee in die land, sodat julle sal lê en rus sonder dat iemand julle skrikmaak; en Ek sal die wilde diere uit die land laat verdwyn, en geen swaard sal deur julle land trek nie.

7 En julle sal jul vyande agtervolg, en hulle sal voor julle val deur die swaard.

8 Vyf van julle sal honderd agtervolg, en honderd van julle sal tien duisend agtervolg; en julle vyande sal voor julle val deur die swaard.

9 En Ek sal My na julle wend en julle vrugbaar maak en julle vermenigvuldig; en my verbond sal Ek met julle bevestig.

10 Julle sal ou koring van vorige jare eet en die oue laat plek maak vir die nuwe.

11 En Ek sal my tabernakel onder julle oprig, en my siel sal van julle geen afsku hê nie.

12 En Ek sal in jul midde wandel en vir julle 'n God wees, en julle sal vir My 'n volk wees.

13 Ek is die HERE julle God wat julle uit Egipteland uitgelei het, dat julle nie hulle slawe moet wees nie; en Ek het julle jukskeie verbreek en het julle regop laat loop.

14 Maar as julle nie na My luister en al hierdie gebooie nie doen nie;

15 en as julle my insettinge verwerp, en as julle siel van my verordeninge 'n afsku het, sodat julle nie al my gebooie doen nie en my verbond verbreek

16 dan sal k dit ook aan julle doen: Ek sal verskrikking oor julle beskik: die tering en die koors wat die oë verteer en die lewe laat versmag; julle sal ook tevergeefs julle saad saai, want julle vyande sal dit opeet.

17 En Ek sal my aangesig teen julle rig, sodat julle voor jul vyande verslaan word; en julle haters sal oor julle heers, en julle sal vlug terwyl niemand julle agtervolg nie.

18 En as julle dan nog nie na My luister nie, sal Ek voortgaan om julle sewevoudig weens julle sondes te tugtig.

19 En Ek sal julle trotse mag verbreek, en sal julle hemel maak soos yster en julle aarde soos koper.

20 En julle krag sal tevergeefs verbruik word, want julle land sal sy opbrings nie gee nie, en die bome van die land sal hulle vrugte nie gee nie.

21 En as julle jul teen My versit en na My nie wil luister nie, sal Ek meer plae op julle lê, sewevoudig volgens julle sondes.

22 En Ek sal die wilde diere van die veld onder julle in stuur, en die sal julle kinderloos maak en julle vee uitroei en julle verminder, sodat julle paaie verlate sal wees.

23 En as julle hierdeur jul nie deur My laat tugtig nie, maar julle teen My versit,

24 sal Ek My ook teen julle versit en julle ook sewevoudig tref weens julle sondes.

25 En Ek sal 'n swaard oor julle bring wat die wraak van die verbond sal uitoefen; en as julle dan in jul stede terugtrek, sal Ek pes onder julle in stuur, en julle sal in die hand van die vyand oorgegee word.

26 As Ek vir julle die staf van die brood verbreek, sal tien vroue julle brood in een oond bak en julle brood by die gewig teruggee; en julle sal eet, maar nie versadig word nie.

27 As julle ook hierom nie na My luister nie, maar julle teen My versit,

28 sal Ek My in grimmigheid teen julle versit, en Ek sal julle ook sewevoudig tugtig weens julle sondes.

29 En julle sal die vlees van julle seuns eet, en die vlees van julle dogters sal julle eet.

30 En Ek sal julle hoogtes verwoes en julle sonpilare verdelg en julle lyke op die lyke van julle drekgode gooi; en my siel sal 'n afsku van julle hê.

31 En Ek sal julle stede puinhope maak en julle heiligdomme verwoes en julle lieflike geur nie ruik nie.

32 Ja, Ek self sal die land verwoes, sodat julle vyande wat daarin gaan woon, daaroor verstom sal staan.

33 En Ek sal julle onder die volke verstrooi en 'n swaard agter julle uittrek; en julle land sal 'n wildernis en julle stede puinhope word.

34 Dan sal die land vir sy sabbatte vergoeding kry, al die dae van sy verwoesting, terwyl julle in die land van julle vyande is; dan sal die land rus en vir sy sabbatte vergoeding gee.

35 Al die dae van sy verwoesting sal dit rus die rus wat dit nie gehad het in julle sabbatte toe julle daarin gewoon het nie.

36 En wat aangaan diegene wat onder julle oorgebly het Ek sal in hulle hart 'n vreesagtigheid bring in die lande van hulle vyande, sodat die geruis van 'n verwaaide blaar hulle op die loop sal ja; en hulle sal vlug, soos 'n mens vir 'n swaard vlug en val sonder dat iemand agtervolg.

37 En hulle sal struikel die een oor die ander soos vir die swaard, alhoewel niemand agtervolg nie; en julle sal voor julle vyande nie kan standhou nie.

38 Maar julle sal omkom onder die nasies, en die land van julle vyande sal julle verteer.

39 En die wat onder julle oorgebly het, sal oor hulle ongeregtigheid wegteer in die lande van julle vyande, ja, ook oor die ongeregtighede van hulle vaders saam met hulle wegteer.

40 Dan sal hulle hul ongeregtigheid bely en die ongeregtigheid van hulle vaders deurdat hulle ontrou teen my gehandel het; en ook dat hulle hul teen My versit het,

41 sodat k My ook teen hulle versit het en hulle in die land van hulle vyande moes bring; of, as hulle onbesnede hart hom dan verneder en hulle dan boet vir hul ongeregtigheid,

42 sal Ek dink aan my verbond met Jakob; en ook aan my verbond met Isak en ook aan my verbond met Abraham sal Ek dink, en aan die land sal Ek dink.

43 Maar die land moet eers van hulle verlate wees en moet vir sy sabbatte vergoeding kry, terwyl dit woes lê sonder hulle; en hulle sal vir hul ongeregtigheid boet, omdat, ja, omdat hulle my verordeninge verwerp en hulle siel van my insettinge 'n afsku gehad het.

44 Maar ook dan, as hulle in die land van hul vyande is, verwerp Ek hulle nie en het Ek van hulle geen afsku, sodat Ek 'n einde aan hulle sou maak en my verbond met hulle sou verbreek nie; want Ek is die HERE hulle God.

45 Maar Ek sal tot hulle beswil dink aan die verbond van die voorvaders wat Ek uit Egipteland voor die oë van die nasies uitgelei het om vir hulle 'n God te wees. Ek is die HERE.

46 Dit is die insettinge en die verordeninge en die wette wat die HERE tussen Hom en die kinders van Israel by die berg Sinai deur die diens van Moses gegee het.

1 Do not make images of false gods, or put up an image cut in stone or a pillar or any pictured stone in your land, to give worship to it; for I am the Lord your God.

2 Keep my Sabbaths and give honour to my holy place: I am the Lord.

3 If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,

4 Then I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase and the trees of the field will give their fruit;

5 And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.

6 And I will give you peace in the land, and you will take your rest and no one will give you cause for fear; and I will put an end to all evil beasts in the land, and no sword of war will go through your land.

7 And you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to death by your swords.

8 Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.

9 And I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I will keep my agreement with you.

10 And old stores long kept will be your food, and you will take out the old because of the new;

11 And I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from you in disgust.

12 And I will be present among you and will be your God and you will be my people.

13 I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made you go upright.

14 But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;

15 And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

16 This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

17 And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

18 And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

19 And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

20 And your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit.

21 And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.

22 I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.

23 And if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against me;

24 Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.

25 And I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement; and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and you will be given up into the hands of your haters.

26 When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.

27 And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,

28 Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.

29 Then you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for food;

30 And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

31 And I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes;

32 And I will make your land a waste, a wonder to your haters living in it.

33 And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

34 Then will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest.

35 All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

36 And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;

37 Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.

38 And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.

39 And those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting away.

40 And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;

41 So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,

42 Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land.

43 And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.

44 But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their God.

45 And because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God: I am the Lord.

46 These are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
