Deuteronomy 13
1 If a prophet or dreamer of dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you,
“你们中间若有先知或是做梦的起来，向你显个神迹奇事，
2 and if the sign or wonder he has spoken to you comes about, but he says, “Let us follow other gods (which you have not known) and let us worship them,”
对你说：‘我们去随从你素来所不认识的别神，事奉它吧。’他所显的神迹奇事虽有应验，
3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
你也不可听那先知或是那做梦之人的话；因为这是耶和华—你们的 神试验你们，要知道你们是尽心尽性爱耶和华—你们的 神不是。
4 You are to follow the LORD your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast to Him.
你们要顺从耶和华—你们的 神，敬畏他，谨守他的诫命，听从他的话，事奉他，专靠他。
5 Such a prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he has advocated rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way in which the LORD your God has commanded you to walk. So you must purge the evil from among you.
那先知或是那做梦的既用言语叛逆那领你们出埃及地、救赎你脱离为奴之家的耶和华—你们的 神，要勾引你离开耶和华—你 神所吩咐你行的道，你便要将他治死。这样，就把那恶从你们中间除掉。
6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (which neither you nor your fathers have known,
“你的同胞弟兄，或是你的儿女，或是你怀中的妻，或是如同你性命的朋友，若暗中引诱你，说：‘我们不如去事奉你和你列祖素来所不认识的别神—
7 the gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, whether from one end of the earth or the other),
是你四围列国的神。’无论是离你近，离你远，从地这边到地那边的神，
8 you must not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield him.
你不可依从他，也不可听从他，眼不可顾惜他。你不可怜恤他，也不可遮庇他，
9 Instead, you must surely kill him. Your hand must be the first against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.
总要杀他；你先下手，然后众民也下手，将他治死。
10 Stone him to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
要用石头打死他，因为他想要勾引你离开那领你出埃及地为奴之家的耶和华—你的 神。
11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.
以色列众人都要听见害怕，就不敢在你们中间再行这样的恶了。
12 If, regarding one of the cities the LORD your God is giving you to inhabit, you hear it said
“在耶和华—你 神所赐你居住的各城中，你若听人说，有些匪类从你们中间的一座城出来勾引本城的居民，说：‘我们不如去事奉你们素来所不认识的别神’；
13 that wicked men have arisen from among you and have led the people of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you have not known),
14 then you must inquire, investigate, and interrogate thoroughly. And if it is established with certainty that this abomination has been committed among you,
你就要探听，查究，细细地访问，果然是真，准有这可憎恶的事行在你们中间，
15 you must surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword. Devote to destruction all its people and livestock.
你必要用刀杀那城里的居民，把城里所有的，连牲畜，都用刀杀尽。
16 And you are to gather all its plunder in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. The city must remain a mound of ruins forever, never to be rebuilt.
你从那城里所夺的财物都要堆积在街市上，用火将城和其内所夺的财物都在耶和华—你 神面前烧尽；那城就永为荒堆，不可再建造。
17 Nothing devoted to destruction shall cling to your hands, so that the LORD will turn from His fierce anger, grant you mercy, show you compassion, and multiply you as He swore to your fathers,
那当毁灭的物连一点都不可粘你的手。你要听从耶和华—你 神的话，遵守我今日所吩咐你的一切诫命，行耶和华—你 神眼中看为正的事，耶和华就必转意，不发烈怒，恩待你，怜恤你，照他向你列祖所起的誓使你人数增多。”
18 because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all His commandments I am giving you today and doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
