Eragon gave the baby, Elva, the following blessing in the Ancient Language: "Atra gülai un ilian tauthr ono un atra ono waíse skölir frá rauthr"

Eragon thought it meant, Let luck and happiness follow you and may you be shielded from misfortune. However, it actually meant Let luck and happiness follow you and may you be a shield from misfortune. This was a curse, because every time something bad was going to be bestowed on someone, she felt it and blocked it.

How did Eragon's blessing on Elva turn out to be a curse?

Eragon's blessing was supposed to help Elva by saying in the ancient language: "Atra gülai un ilian tauthr ono un atra ono waíse skölir frá rauthr", which he thought meant Let luck and happiness follow you and may you be shielded from misfortune. However, he did not say it right. Instead, the "blessing" he put on elva was Let luck and happiness follow you and may you be a shield from misfortune. This made her a block for all misfortune to any of those around her.
