申命記 13
1 「你們中間若有先知或是做夢的起來，向你顯個神蹟奇事，
If there arise among you a prophet, or one that dreameth dreams, and he give thee a sign or a wonder,
2 對你說：『我們去隨從你素來所不認識的別神，事奉它吧。』他所顯的神蹟奇事雖有應驗，
and the sign or the wonder come to pass that he told unto thee, when he said, Let us go after other gods, whom thou hast not known, and let us serve them,
3 你也不可聽那先知或是那做夢之人的話；因為這是耶和華－你們的上帝試驗你們，要知道你們是盡心盡性愛耶和華－你們的上帝不是。
— thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 你們要順從耶和華－你們的上帝，敬畏他，謹守他的誡命，聽從他的話，事奉他，專靠他。
Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and ye shall fear him, and his commandments shall ye keep, and his voice shall ye hear; and ye shall serve him, and unto him shall ye cleave.
5 那先知或是那做夢的既用言語叛逆那領你們出埃及地、救贖你脫離為奴之家的耶和華－你們的上帝，要勾引你離開耶和華－你上帝所吩咐你行的道，你便要將他治死。這樣，就把那惡從你們中間除掉。
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; for he hath spoken revolt against Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, — to draw thee out of the way that Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
6 「你的同胞弟兄，或是你的兒女，或是你懷中的妻，或是如同你性命的朋友，若暗中引誘你，說：『我們不如去事奉你和你列祖素來所不認識的別神－
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is to thee as thy soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (whom thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
7 是你四圍列國的神。』無論是離你近，離你遠，從地這邊到地那邊的神，
of the gods of the peoples which are round about you, near unto thee, or far from thee, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth),
8 你不可依從他，也不可聽從他，眼不可顧惜他。你不可憐恤他，也不可遮庇他，
thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye spare him, neither shalt thou pity him, neither shalt thou screen him,
9 總要殺他；你先下手，然後眾民也下手，將他治死。
but thou shalt in any case kill him: thy hand shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people;
10 要用石頭打死他，因為他想要勾引你離開那領你出埃及地為奴之家的耶和華－你的上帝。
and thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; for he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
11 以色列眾人都要聽見害怕，就不敢在你們中間再行這樣的惡了。
and all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wicked thing as this in thy midst.
12 「在耶和華－你上帝所賜你居住的各城中，你若聽人說，有些匪類從你們中間的一座城出來勾引本城的居民，說：『我們不如去事奉你們素來所不認識的別神』；
If in one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee to dwell there, thou hearest, saying,
There are men, children of Belial, gone out from among you, and they have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, whom ye have not known;
14 你就要探聽，查究，細細地訪問，果然是真，準有這可憎惡的事行在你們中間，
then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and if it be truth, [and] the thing be certain, that this abomination hath happened in the midst of thee,
15 你必要用刀殺那城裏的居民，把城裏所有的，連牲畜，都用刀殺盡。
thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it to destruction, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
16 你從那城裏所奪的財物都要堆積在街市上，用火將城和其內所奪的財物都在耶和華－你上帝面前燒盡；那城就永為荒堆，不可再建造。
And all the spoil of it shalt thou gather into the midst of the open place thereof, and shalt burn the city with fire, and all the spoil thereof, wholly to Jehovah thy God; and it shall be a heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
17 那當毀滅的物連一點都不可粘你的手。你要聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，遵守我今日所吩咐你的一切誡命，行耶和華－你上帝眼中看為正的事，耶和華就必轉意，不發烈怒，恩待你，憐恤你，照他向你列祖所起的誓使你人數增多。」
And thou shalt not let anything cleave to thy hand of the devoted thing; that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
when thou hearkenest to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, that thou mayest do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
