Deuteronomy 13
1 If ever you have among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
“Ne nyagblɔɖila aɖe le mia dome alo ame si gblɔna be yeate ŋu anya nu si le dzɔdzɔ ge to drɔ̃ekuku me,
2 And the sign or the wonder takes place, and he says to you, Let us go after other gods, which are strange to you, and give them worship;
ne eƒe nyagblɔɖiwo vaa eme, gake wògblɔna be, ‘Miva, mina míasubɔ dukɔ bubuawo ƒe mawuwo’ la,
3 Then give no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God is testing you, to see if all the love of your heart and soul is given to him.
migaɖo to eƒe nya o. Yehowa miaƒe Mawu le mia dome be yeanya ne mielɔ̃ ye le nyateƒe me kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo loo alo mielɔ̃e o.
4 But keep on in the ways of the Lord your God, fearing him and keeping his orders and hearing his voice, worshipping him and being true to him.
Migasubɔ mawu bubu aɖeke gbeɖegbeɖe o. Misubɔ Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ko. Miwɔ ɖe eya ko ƒe sewo dzi, eye mialé ɖe eŋu.
5 And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.
“Ele be woawu nyagblɔɖila alo drɔ̃ekula si dina be yeakplɔ mi atrae, elabena edina be yeana miadze aglã ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ mi tso kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi la ŋu. Ne miewui la, miaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le mia dome.
6 If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife of your heart, or the friend who is as dear to you as your life, working on you secretly says to you, Let us go and give worship to other gods, strange to you and to your fathers;
Ne nɔviwò ŋutsu, viwò ŋutsu, viwò nyɔnu, srɔ̃wò lɔlɔ̃a, alo xɔwò vevitɔ kekeake si le abe wò ŋutɔ wò luʋɔ ene agblɔ na wò le adzame be, ‘Na míayi aɖasubɔ mawu bubuwo (mawu siwo miawo ŋutɔ kple mia fofowo mienya o,
7 Gods of the peoples round about you, near or far, from one end of the earth to the other;
dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi ƒe mawuwo, mawu siwo te ɖe mia ŋu alo le adzɔge ʋĩi, tso anyigba ƒe seƒe ɖeka yi eƒe seƒe bubu’ la),
8 Do not be guided by him or give attention to him; have no pity on him or mercy, and give him no cover;
migalɔ̃ o, eye migakpɔ nublanui nɛ hã o. Migaɖee tso to si woahe nɛ la me o, eye migaɣla nya vɔ̃ɖi si wògblɔ na mi la hã o.
9 But put him to death without question; let your hand be the first stretched out against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.
Miwui! Nànye ame gbãtɔ si atso ɖe ewuwu ŋu, eye ame bubuawo katã ƒe asi akpe ɖe ŋuwò.
10 Let him be stoned with stones till he is dead; because it was his purpose to make you false to the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
Miƒu kpee wòaku, elabena edze agbagba be yeahe mi ɖa tso Yehowa, mia Mawu, ame si kplɔ mi tso kluvinyenye me le Egipte la gbɔ.
11 And all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and no one will again do such evil as this among you.
Ekema Israel katã asee, eye woavɔ̃, eye ame aɖeke maganɔ mia dome si awɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi sia tɔgbi ake o.
12 And if word comes to you, in one of the towns which the Lord your God is giving you for your resting-place,
“Ne miele du siwo Yehowa miaƒe Mawu na mi me, eye miese
13 That good-for-nothing persons have gone out from among you, turning the people of their town from the right way and saying, Let us go and give worship to other gods, of whom you have no knowledge;
be yakame aɖewo tso miaƒe dukɔ me kplɔ miaƒe dumetɔ aɖewo trae be, ‘Woasubɔ mawu siwo miesubɔ kpɔ o’ la,
14 Then let a full search be made, and let questions be put with care; and if it is true and certain that such a disgusting thing has been done among you;
miku nya la gɔme nyuie. Ne enye nyateƒe be nu vɔ̃ɖi sia va eme la,
15 Then take up arms against the people of that town and give it up to the curse, with all its cattle and everything in it.
ekema ele be miaho aʋa ɖe du ma ŋu. Miwu dua me tɔwo kple lãwo katã hã. Migbã du la gudugudu.
16 And take all the goods into the middle of its open space, burning the town and all its property with fire as an offering to the Lord your God; it is to be a waste for ever; there is to be no more building there.
Le esia megbe la, ele be miaƒo woƒe nuwo katã nu ƒu ɖe ablɔ ƒe titina, eye miatɔ dzo wo. Emegbe la, miatɔ dzo du blibo la abe numevɔsa na Yehowa miaƒe Mawu, mìaƒe Mawu la ene. Mina du ma teƒe natsi anyi nenema: migana woagbugbɔe atu o.
17 Keep not a thing of what is cursed for yourselves: so the Lord may be turned away from the heat of his wrath, and have mercy on you, and give you increase as he said in his oath to your fathers:
Migatsɔ woƒe nuwo dometɔ aɖeke na mia ɖokuiwo o! Ekema Yehowa miaƒe Mawu aɖe asi le eƒe dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ la ŋu, akpɔ nublanui na mi, eye wòawɔ mi dukɔ gã aɖe abe ale si wòdo ŋugbe na mia tɔgbuiwo ene.
18 So long as you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep all his orders which I give you today, and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
Nu si ko ana Yehowa miaƒe Mawu la nakpɔ nublanui na mi lae nye, ne mieɖo toe, ne miewɔ ɖe eƒe se siwo mele dedem na mi egbe la dzi, eye ne miewɔ nu si nye nu dzɔdzɔe le Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋkume.”
