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,
CUANDO se levantare en medio de ti profeta, ó soñador de sueños, y te diere señal ó prodigio,
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,’
Y acaeciere la señal ó prodigio que él te dijo, diciendo: Vamos en pos de dioses ajenos, que no conociste, y sirvámosles;
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.
No darás oído á las palabras de tal profeta, ni al tal soñador de sueños: porque Jehová vuestro Dios os prueba, para saber si amáis á Jehová vuestro Dios con todo vuestro corazón, y con toda vuestra alma.
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.
En pos de Jehová vuestro Dios andaréis, y á él temeréis, y guardaréis sus mandamientos, y escucharéis su voz, y á él serviréis, y á él os allegaréis.
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.
Y el tal profeta ó soñador de sueños, ha de ser muerto; por cuanto trató de rebelión contra Jehová vuestro Dios, que te sacó de tierra de Egipto, y te rescató de casa de siervos, y de echarte del camino por el que Jehová tu Dios te mandó que anduvieses: y así quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
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,
Cuando te incitare tu hermano, hijo de tu madre, ó tu hijo, ó tu hija, ó la mujer de tu seno, ó tu amigo que sea como tu alma, diciendo en secreto: Vamos y sirvamos á dioses ajenos, que ni tú ni tus padres conocisteis,
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,
De los dioses de los pueblos que están en vuestros alrededores cercanos á ti, ó lejos de ti, desde el un cabo de la tierra hasta el otro cabo de ella;
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.
No consentirás con él, ni le darás oído; ni tu ojo le perdonará, ni tendrás compasión, ni lo encubrirás:
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.
Antes has de matarlo; tu mano será primero sobre él para matarle, y después la mano de todo el pueblo.
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.
Y has de apedrearlo con piedras, y morirá; por cuanto procuró apartarte de Jehová tu Dios, que te sacó de tierra de Egipto, de casa de siervos:
11 So may all of Israel, upon hearing this, be afraid, so that nothing like this will ever be done again.
Para que todo Israel oiga, y tema, y no tornen á hacer cosa semejante á esta mala cosa en medio de ti.
12 If, in one of your cities which the Lord your God will give to you as a habitation, you hear someone say:
Cuando oyeres de alguna de tus ciudades que Jehová tu Dios te da para que mores en ellas, que se dice:
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:
Hombres, hijos de impiedad, han salido de en medio de ti, que han instigado á los moradores de su ciudad, diciendo: Vamos y sirvamos á dioses ajenos, que vosotros no conocisteis;
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,
Tú inquirirás, y buscarás, y preguntarás con diligencia; y si pareciere verdad, cosa cierta, que tal abominación se hizo en medio de ti,
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.
Irremisiblemente herirás á filo de espada los moradores de aquella ciudad, destruyéndola con todo lo que en ella hubiere, y [también] sus bestias á filo de espada.
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.
Y juntarás todo el despojo de ella en medio de su plaza, y consumirás con fuego la ciudad y todo su despojo, todo ello, á Jehová tu Dios: y será un montón para siempre: nunca más se edificará.
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,
Y no se pegará algo á tu mano del anatema; porque Jehová se aparte del furor de su ira, y te dé mercedes, y tenga misericordia de ti, y te multiplique, como lo juró á tus padres,
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.”
Cuando obedecieres á la voz de Jehová tu Dios, guardando todos sus mandamientos que yo te prescribo hoy, para hacer lo recto en ojos de Jehová tu Dios.
