Deuteronomo 13

1 Ngati mneneri kapena wina aliyense amene amanena zamʼtsogolo mwa maloto atuluka pakati panu, nalengeza za chizindikiro chozizwitsa kapena chodabwitsa,

If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

2 chinthu nʼkuchitikadi, tsono iyeyo nʼkunena kuti, “Tiyeni titsatire milungu ina, tiyeni tiyipembedze,” (kunena milungu imene simunayidziwe),

and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s serve them,”

3 musamumvere mneneriyo kapena wolotayo. Yehova Mulungu wanu afuna akuyeseni kuti aone ngati mumamukonda ndi mtima wanu wonse ndi moyo wanu wonse.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Muyenera kutsatira Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndipo ndi Iyeyo amene muyenera kumuopa. Muzisunga malamulo ake ndi kumamumvera, muzimutumikira ndipo kumukangamira Iyeyo.

You shall walk after Yahweh your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him.

5 Mneneri kapena wolotayo ayenera kuphedwa, popeza analalikira zopandukira Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene anakutulutsani ku Igupto ndi kukupulumutsani ku dziko la ukapolo. Wolalikirayo anafuna kukupatutsani pa njira imene Yehova Mulungu wanu anakulamulirani kuti muyitsatire. Muzichotsa choyipa pakati panu.

That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

6 Ngati mʼbale wanu weniweni kapena mwana wanu wamwamuna kapena wamkazi, kapena mkazi wanu wokondedwa, kapena mnzanu wapamtima akukakamizani mwachinsinsi, nʼkumati, “Tiyeni tipite tikapembedze milungu ina” (milungu imene inuyo kapena makolo anu sanayidziwe,

If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods”—which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;

7 milungu ya anthu okuzungulirani, kaya ndi apafupi kapena akutali, kuchokera kumapeto mpaka kumapeto kwina kwa dziko lapansi),

of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth—

8 musamugonjere kapena kumumvera. Musamumvere chisoni. Musamuleke kapena kumutchinjiriza.

you shall not consent to him nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him;

9 Mumuphe ndithu. Dzanja lanu likhale loyambirira kumupha, kenaka manja a anthu ena onse.

but you shall surely kill him. Your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.

10 Mumuponye miyala mpaka kumupha, chifukwa anafuna kukupatutsani pa njira ya Yehova Mulungu amene anakutulutsani ku Igupto, dziko la ukapolo.

You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

11 Tsono Aisraeli onse adzamva nachita mantha, ndipo palibe mmodzi pakati panu amene adzachitenso choyipa chotere.

All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.

12 Ngati mumvetsedwa kuti ku umodzi mwa mizinda imene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani kuti mukhalemo,

If you hear about one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, that

13 kwapezeka anthu ena oyipa pakati panu ndipo asocheretsa anthu ambiri mʼmizinda yanu, pomanena kuti, “Tiyeni tikapembedze milungu ina” (milungu imene simunayidziwe),

certain wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods,” which you have not known,

14 mukuyenera kufunsa, kulondola ndi kufufuza bwino nkhaniyo. Ndipo ngati zitatsimikizikadi kuti ndi zoona kuti chinthu chonyansa chotere chachitikadi pakati panu,

then you shall inquire, investigate, and ask diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination was done among you,

15 muyenera kuwapha onse okhala mu mzinda umenewo. Muwonongeretu kwathunthu mzindawo, anthu ake ndi ziweto zake zomwe.

you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.

16 Katundu yense wa anthu mu mzindawo mumuwunjike pamodzi pakatikati pa bwalo losonkhanako ndipo mutenthe mzindawo pamodzi ndi katundu wake yense monga nsembe yathunthu yopsereza ya kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu. Mzinda umenewo ukhale bwinja mpaka muyaya, usadzamangidwenso.

You shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, with all of its plunder, to Yahweh your God. It shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.

17 Musapezeke ndi kanthu kalikonse koyenera kuwonongedwa kuti Yehova abweze mkwiyo wake wochititsa manthawu. Adzakuchitirani chifundo ndi kukumverani chisoni, ndipo adzakuchulukitsani monga analonjeza mwa lumbiro kwa makolo anu,

Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand, that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy, and have compassion on you and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers,

18 chifukwa mumamvera Yehova Mulungu wanu, kusunga malamulo ake onse amene ndikukupatsani lero lino ndi kuchita zoyenera pamaso pake.

when you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep all his commandments which I command you today, to do that which is right in Yahweh your God’s eyes.
