1 O o haddaad aad u dhegaysataan codka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo intaad xajisaan aad yeeshaan amarradiisa aan maanta idinku amrayo oo dhan, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu wuxuu idinka wada sare marin doonaa quruumaha dunida oo dhan.

`And it hath been, if thou dost hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, that Jehovah thy God hath made thee uppermost above all the nations of the earth,

2 O o barakooyinkan oo dhammuna way idinku soo degi doonaan, wayna idin soo gaadhi doonaan, haddaad codka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah dhegaysataan.

and all these blessings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee, because thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God:

3 W axaad ku barakaysnaan doontaan magaalada, oo waxaad ku barakaysnaan doontaan duurka.

`Blessed thou in the city, and blessed thou in the field.

4 O o waxaa barakaysnaan doona midhaha jidhkiinna, iyo midhaha dhulkiinna, iyo midhaha xoolihiinna oo ah dhasha lo'diinna iyo tan idihiinna.

`Blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock.

5 W axaa barakaysnaan doona dambiishiinna iyo weelkiinna aad wax ku cajiintaan.

`Blessed thy basket and thy kneading-trough.

6 O o waad barakaysnaan doontaan markaad gudaha soo gashaan, oo waad barakaysnaan doontaan markaad dibadda u baxdaan.

`Blessed thou in thy coming in, and blessed thou in thy going out.

7 O o cadaawayaashiinna idinku kaca Rabbigu wuxuu ka dhigi doonaa in hortiinna lagu laayo. Jid qudha ayay idinkaga iman doonaan, oo hortiinna ayay toddoba jid ku kala carari doonaan.

`Jehovah giveth thine enemies, who are rising up against thee -- smitten before thy face; in one way they come out unto thee, and in seven ways they flee before thee.

8 O o Rabbigu wuxuu ku amri doonaa inay barakadu idinku soo degto idinka, iyo maqsinnadiinna, iyo wax alla wixii aad gacanta ku qabataanba, oo wuxuu idinku barakayn doonaa dalka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siinayo.

`Jehovah commandeth with thee the blessing in thy storehouses, and in every putting forth of thy hand, and hath blessed thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

9 R abbigu wuxuu idinka dhigan doonaa dad isaga qudhiisa quduus u ah, siduu idiinku dhaartay, haddaad amarrada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah xajisaan oo aad jidadkiisana ku socotaan.

`Jehovah doth establish thee to Himself for a holy people, as He hath sworn to thee, when thou keepest the commands of Jehovah thy God, and hast walked in His ways;

10 O o dadka dunida oo dhammu waxay arki doonaan in laydiinku yeedhay magicii Rabbiga, wayna idinka cabsan doonaan.

and all the peoples of the land have seen that the name of Jehovah is called upon thee, and they have been afraid of thee.

11 O o Rabbigu wanaag buu idiinku badin doonaa midhaha jidhkiinna, iyo midhaha xoolihiinna, iyo midhaha dhulkiinna idinkoo jooga dalka Rabbigu awowayaashiin ugu dhaartay inuu idin siinayo.

`And Jehovah hath made thee abundant in good, in the fruit of the womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.

12 O o Rabbigu wuxuu idiin furi doonaa khasnaddiisa wanaagsan ee samada inuu dalkiinna roob siiyo xilligiisa, iyo inuu wada barakeeyo shuqulka aad gacanta ku qabataan oo dhan, oo idinku quruumo badan baad wax deymin doontaan, waxbase ma amaahan doontaan.

`Jehovah doth open to thee his good treasure -- the heavens -- to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand, and thou hast lent to many nations, and thou -- thou dost not borrow.

13 O o Rabbigu wuxuu idinka dhigayaa madaxa, idinkana dhigi maayo dabada, oo weligiin waxaad ahaanaysaan kuwa sarreeya, oo noqon maysaan kuwa hooseeya, haddaad dhegaysataan amarrada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo aan maanta idinku amrayo, oo intaad xajisaan aad yeeshaan,

`And Jehovah hath given thee for head, and not for tail; and thou hast been only above, and art not beneath, for thou dost hearken unto the commands of Jehovah thy God, which I am commanding thee to-day, to keep and to do,

14 o o aydaan erayada aan maanta idinku amrayo gees uga leexan xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixda toona, inaad ilaahyo kale daba gashaan oo aad u adeegtaan. Inkaaraha Ku Dhaca Kuwa Aan Ilaah Addeecin

and thou dost not turn aside from all the words which I am commanding you to-day -- right or left -- to go after other gods, to serve them.

15 L aakiinse haddaydnan dhegaysan codka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, inaad xajisaan oo aad wada yeeshaan amarradiisa iyo qaynuunnadiisa aan maanta idinku amrayo, markaas inkaarahan oo dhammu way idinku soo degi doonaan oo idin soo gaadhi doonaan.

`And it hath been, if thou dost not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God to observe to do all His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, that all these revilings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee:

`Jehovah doth send on thee the curse, the trouble, and the rebuke, in every putting forth of thy hand which thou dost, till thou art destroyed, and till thou perish hastily, because of the evil of thy doings which thou hast forsaken Me.

21 O o Rabbigu wuxuu idinku dhejin doonaa balaayada, jeeruu idinka baabbi'iyo dalka aad u gelaysaan inaad hantidaan.

`Jehovah doth cause to cleave to thee the pestilence, till He consume thee from off the ground whither thou art going in to possess it.

`Jehovah doth smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with extreme burning, and with sword, and with blasting, and with mildew, and they have pursued thee till thou perish

23 O o samada idinka korraysaa waxay noqon doontaa naxaas, oo dhulka idinka hooseeyaana wuxuu noqon doonaa bir.

Jehovah giveth the rain of thy land -- dust and ashes; from the heavens it cometh down on thee till thou art destroyed.

25 O o Rabbigu wuxuu ka dhigi doonaa in laydinku laayo cadaawayaashiinna hortooda, oo iyaga jid qudha baad kaga iman doontaan, oo hortooda ayaad toddoba jid ku kala carari doontaan, oo boqortooyooyinka dunida oo dhammu waad ku dhex rogrogmi doontaan hore iyo dib.

`Jehovah giveth thee smitten before thine enemies; in one way thou goest out unto them, and in seven ways dost flee before them, and thou hast been for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth;
