< Deuteronomy 13 >

1 And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
Si ta gen nan mitan nou yon pwofèt osinon yon moun ki konn fè vizyon, epi ki ta fè konnen kèk siy osinon kèk gwo bagay pral rive nan mitan nou,
2 and the sign or the wonder come to pass which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you know not;
si sa li te anonse a rive vre epi li ta vin di nou: Ann al swiv lòt bondye nou poko konnen menm yo! Ann al fè sèvis pou yo!
3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God tries you, to know whether you love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
nou pa fèt pou nou koute pawòl pwofèt sa a ap di, ni sa moun ki konn fè vizyon an ap vin rakonte nan zòrèy nou. Paske se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, k'ap sonde nou, l'ap chache konnen si vreman vre nou renmen Seyè a ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou.
4 You shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and you shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves to him.
Se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou swiv. Se li menm pou nou gen krentif. Se lòd li pou nou swiv. Se sa li di nou pou nou koute. Se li menm pou nou sèvi. Pa janm vire do ba li.
5 And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in: so shall you abolish the evil from amongst you.
Kanta pou pwofèt sa a, osinon moun k'ap fè vizyon an, se pou nou touye yo. Paske y'ap ban nou konsèy pou nou kenbe tèt ak Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip epi ki te wete nou nan esklavaj nou te ye laba a. Se pou nou touye yo, paske y'ap chache fè nou kite chemen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mete devan nou pou nou te swiv la. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
6 And if your brother by your father or mother, or your son, or daughter, or your wife in your bosom, or friend who is equal to your own soul, entreat you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known,
Si yon frè nou, bò papa osinon bò manman, osinon yon pitit gason nou, osinon yonn nan pitit fi nou, osinon madanm k'ap viv nan menm kay avèk nou, osinon ankò yonn nan bon bon zanmi nou ta chache pran tèt nou an kachèt pou fè n' al sèvi lòt bondye, bondye ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen,
7 of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to the other;
yonn nan bondye lòt moun k'ap viv ansanm avèk nou sou latè, kit yo toupre nou, kit yo byen lwen nou,
8 you shall not consent to him, neither shall you listen to him; and your eye shall not spare him, you shall feel no regret for him, neither shall you at all protect him:
pa janm tonbe dakò avèk li. Pa koute sa l'ap di nou. Se pou nou san pitye pou li. Pa chache pwoteje li, pa chache kouvri anyen pou li.
9 you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him amongst the first to kill him, and the hands of all the people at the last.
Okontrè, se pou nou touye l'. Premye moun ki pou leve men sou li pou touye l' ak koutwòch se va nou menm. Apre sa, n'a kite lòt moun vin ede nou touye l'.
10 And they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
N'a kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri, paske li te vle fè nou vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, li menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te nan esklavaj la.
11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing amongst you.
Lè sa a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo va konn sa, y'a pè. Konsa, yo yonn p'ap janm fè yon bagay mal konsa ankò nan mitan pèp la.
12 And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell therein, you shall hear men saying,
Si nou vin tande y'ap di nan yonn nan lavil Seyè a ban nou pou nou rete yo,
13 Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you knew not,
gen kèk moun, kèk vòryen, moun menm ras ak nou ki te pran tèt moun k'ap viv nan lavil sa a pou fè yo al sèvi lòt bondye nou pa janm konnen,
14 then you shall enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place amongst you,
se pou nou chache konnen bagay la byen. N'a mennen ti ankèt nou, n'a poze keksyon adwat agoch. Si bri y'ap fè kouri a vre, si nou jwenn prèv yon bagay mal konsa te fèt vre,
15 you shall utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; you shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.
se pou nou pran nepe nou, se pou nou touye dènye moun ki nan lavil sa a ansanm ak tout bèt yo. Se pou nou detwi lavil la nèt nan dife pou Bondye ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l'.
16 And all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, it shall not be built again.
N'a ranmase tou sa moun yo te genyen nan lavil la, n'a anpile yo sou plas piblik la. N'a mete dife nan lavil la ak tou sa ki ladan l' pou yo sèvi yon ofrann pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se pou lavil la toujou rete yon pil mazi pou li pa janm rebati ankò.
17 And there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as he sware to your fathers;
Piga nou kenbe pou nou anyen nan bagay nou fèt pou boule pou Seyè a. Se konsa Seyè a va sispann fache sou nou, l'a gen pitye pou nou. Wi, l'a fè pa nou. L'a fè nou peple jan li te pwomèt sa bay zansèt nou yo.
18 if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge you this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
Men, se pou nou toujou koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap di nou. Se pou nou toujou kenbe tout lòd m'ap ban nou jòdi a. Se pou nou toujou fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
