[Mesorah] Question on the word Mevarcheicha?

Chapter 12 verse 3: וַאֲבָרְכָה מְבָרֲכֶיךָ וּמְקַלֶּלְךָ אָאֹר
Onkelos translates: וֶאֱבָרֵךְ מְבָרְכָךְ וּמְלַטְטָךְ אֵילוּט
Seems to me strange that the verse will say “...those who bless…and the one who curse..”
Septuagint translates both as plural - “those”.
As for Onkelos, I don't know. Is the word מְבָרְכָךְ singular, plural, or can be both?

Thanks,

Aharon
