καὶ εὐλογήσει σε Κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ τῶν χειρῶν σου, ἐν τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τῆς κοιλίας σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς γενήμασιν τῆς γῆς σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τῶν κτηνῶν σου. ὅτι ἐπιστρέψει Κύριος ὁ θεός σου εὐφρανθῆναι ἐπὶ σοὶ εἰς ἀγαθά, καθότι ηὐφράνθη ἐπὶ τοῖς πατράσιν σου.

Latin (Vulgate)

et abundare te faciet Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum, in sobole uteri tui, et in fructu jumentorum tuorum, in ubertate terræ tuæ, et in rerum omnium largitate. Revertetur enim Dominus, ut gaudeat super te in omnibus bonis, sicut gavisus est in patribus tuis:

Spanish

Yehová tu Dios te hará prosperar en toda la obra de tu mano, en el fruto de tu cuerpo, en el fruto de tu ganado y en el fruto de tu tierra, para bien; porque Yehová volverá a alegrarse de ti para bien, como se alegró de tus padres,

Classic Spanish (Reina-Valera 1909)

Y hacerte ha Jehová tu Dios abundar en toda obra de tus manos, en el fruto de tu vientre, en el fruto de tu bestia, y en el fruto de tu tierra, para bien: porque Jehová volverá á gozarse sobre ti para bien, de la manera que se gozó sobre tus padres;

English

So the LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land. Indeed, the LORD will again delight in your goodness, as He delighted in that of your fathers,

✦ What the text says

Summary

The verse states that Yehovah will cause abundance in every area of human productivity — labor, offspring, livestock, and land — and explains this abundance as tied to Yehovah's renewed rejoicing over the addressee, paralleling how he previously rejoiced over the ancestors.

Key words

ho.ti.re. ("he will make abound", H3498) — Hiphil (causative) sequential perfect: Yehovah is the causal agent producing overflow/surplus, not merely permitting it.
ma.'a.Seh yaDe.kha ("the work of your hand", H4639/H3027) — construct chain; "hand" here represents human effort/action as the object made abundant.
fRi vitne.kha ("the fruit of your womb", H6529/H0990H) — construct chain naming offspring as "fruit," parallel to agricultural produce, placing human fertility in the same grammatical category as crops and livestock.
yaShuv ("he will turn/return", H7725J) — Qal imperfect of a root meaning "to turn/return," used here idiomatically before an infinitive to express repetition ("will again do X").
Sus / sas ("rejoice", H7797) — same root appears as infinitive (laSus, purpose: "to rejoice") and as perfect (sas, "he rejoiced"), forming a direct grammatical echo between present promise and past pattern.

What the text says

The verse opens with a sequential perfect verb, hotire.kha ("he will make abound", H3498), continuing a chain of covenantal promises from prior verses. The causer is Yehovah 'eloHeikha ("Yehovah your God", H3068/H0430G), and the object of abundance is introduced by the preposition be. ("in", H9003) followed by a chain of construct phrases: "all the work of your hand," then three parallel "fruit of" constructions — fRi ("fruit", H6529) of vitne.kha ("your womb"), behemte.kha ("your livestock"), and 'admate.kha ("your ground"). Each of these three nouns is feminine singular construct, creating a rhythmic triad linking human, animal, and agricultural productivity under a single grammatical pattern. The phrase closes with le.toVah ("to good/for good", H2896C), marking purpose or result.

The second half is introduced by ki ("for/that", H3588A), a subordinating particle giving the reason for the abundance: Yehovah "will turn" (yaShuv, H7725J) — a verb of returning/repeating — combined with the infinitive laSus ("to rejoice", H7797) governed by the preposition le. ("for", H9005) and 'aLeikha ("over you", H5921A + suffix). The construction yaShuv...laSus is an idiomatic pairing meaning Yehovah will again rejoice, echoing a previous state. This is reinforced by ka'aSher ("just as", H0834D) and the perfect verb sas ("he rejoiced", H7797) — same root as laSus — describing a prior rejoicing "over" ('al, H5921A) 'avoTeikha ("your ancestors", H0001G). The repetition of the root Sus/sas creates a structural symmetry between past and future rejoicing that is visible in the Hebrew but not always preserved distinctly in translation.

Differences between versions

The LXX renders hotire.kha ("he will make abound") as εὐλογήσει ("he will bless"), a different verbal concept (blessing rather than causing abundance) though contextually related. The Hebrew laSus 'aleikha le.tov ("to rejoice over you for good") is rendered in the LXX as εὐφρανθῆναι ἐπὶ σοὶ εἰς ἀγαθά ("to be glad over you unto good things"), and in the Vulgate as gaudeat super te in omnibus bonis ("rejoice over you in all good things"), both expanding "good" into a plural/collective sense not explicit in the Hebrew singular tov ("good", H2896A).
