General Information:
Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so the words "you" and "your" here are singular. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you) These phrases appeared earlier in the chapter. See how you translated many of these words in Deuteronomy 28:3-4 and Deuteronomy 28:5-6.
Cursed will be
This can be stated in active form. AT: "Yahweh will curse" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground
This is an idiom for "your children, your crops." See how you translated this in Deuteronomy 28:4. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock
This doublet is two ways of saying that Yahweh will make the Israelites' animals many and strong. AT: "the calves of the cattle and the lambs of the flocks" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
