Deuteronomy 13
1 “If there will have arisen in your midst a prophet, or someone who claims that he had seen a dream, and if he will have predicted sign and portent,
“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 what he has spoken happens, and he says to you, ‘Let us go and follow strange gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve 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 shall not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the Lord your God is testing you, so that it may become clear whether or not 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 Follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and listen to his voice. Him shall you serve, and to him shall you cling.
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 But that prophet or forger of dreams shall be put to death. For he has spoken so as to turn you away from the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt and who redeemed you from the house of servitude, and so as to cause you to wander from the way that the Lord your God has entrusted to you. And so shall you remove the evil from your midst.
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 brother, the son of your mother, or your own son or daughter, or your wife who is in your bosom, or your friend, whom you love like your own soul, were willing to persuade you secretly, saying: ‘Let us go, and serve foreign 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 gods from any of the surrounding nations, whether these are near or far away, from the beginning even to the end of the earth,
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 should neither agree with him, nor listen to him. And your eye should not spare him so that you take pity on him and conceal 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 shall put him to death promptly. Let your hand be upon him first, and after that, let the hands of all the people be sent forth.
总要杀他；你先下手，然后众民也下手，将他治死。
10 He shall be killed by being overwhelmed with stones. For he was willing to draw you away from the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.
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 So may all of Israel, upon hearing this, be afraid, so that nothing like this will ever be done again.
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, in one of your cities which the Lord your God will give to you as a habitation, you hear someone say:
“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 ‘The sons of Belial have departed from your midst, and they have persuaded the inhabitants of their city, and they have said: “Let us go, and serve strange gods,”’ which you have not known:
14 inquire carefully and diligently, seeking the truth of the matter. And if you find that what was said is certain, and that this abomination is a work which has been perpetrated,
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 shall promptly strike down the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword. And you shall destroy it, along with all the things that are in it, even the flocks.
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 Then all the household goods which are there, you shall gather together in the midst of its streets, and you shall set fire to these, along with the city itself, so that you may consume everything for the Lord your God, and so that it may be an everlasting tomb. It shall no longer be built up.
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 And there shall remain nothing of that anathema in your hand, so that the Lord may turn from the wrath of his fury, and may take pity on you, and may multiply you, just 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 when you will heed the voice of the Lord your God, keeping all his precepts, which I am entrusting to you this day, so that you may do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord your God.”
