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,

“Kapau ʻoku tupu hake meiate kimoutolu ha taha ʻoku kikite, pe ko e tokotaha ʻoku misi ʻae ngaahi misi, pea tuku kiate koe ha fakaʻilonga pe ha meʻa fakaofo,

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;

Pea ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻilonga pe ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻaia naʻa ne lea ki ai, pea pehē ʻe ia, Ketau ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo, pea ketau tauhi ʻakinautolu;

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.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke tokanga ki he lea ʻae kikite ko ia, pe ko e tokotaha ko ia ʻoku misi ʻae ngaahi misi: he ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ke ʻilo pe te mou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻaki homou loto kotoa mo homou laumālie kotoa:

4 You shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and you shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves to him.

Ke mou muimui ʻia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea manavahē kiate ia, pea tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, pea fai talangofua ki hono leʻo, pea ke mou tauhi ia, pea pikitai kiate ia.

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 among you.

Pea ko e kikite ko ia, pe ko e tokotaha ʻoku misi ʻae ngaahi misi ko ia, ʻe tāmateʻi ia; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lea ke fakatafoki ʻakimoutolu meia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo ne huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu mei he fale fakapōpula, ke fakahēʻi koe mei he hala ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke ʻalu ai. Pea ʻe pehē pe hoʻo tukuange ʻae kovi meiate koe.

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,

“Kapau ʻoku fakahekeheke fakafufū kiate koe ʻe ho tokoua, ko e tama ʻa hoʻo faʻē, pē ko ho foha, pē ko ho ʻofefine, pē ko e uaifi ʻo ho fatafata, pe ko ho kaumeʻa ʻaia ʻoku tatau mo ho laumālie ʻoʻou, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ta ō ʻo tauhi ʻotua kehe,’ ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi, ʻe koe, pe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai;

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;

‌ʻI he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻaia ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate kimoutolu pe ʻoku [nau ]ofi kiate koe, pe ʻoku mamaʻo atu ʻiate koe, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo māmani ʻo aʻu atu ki he ngataʻanga ʻe taha;

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:

‌ʻOua naʻa ke tui kiate ia, pe fie tokanga ki ai; pea ke ʻoua naʻa ʻofa ho mata kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa ke mamae ki ai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ia:

9 you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him among the first to kill him, and the hands of all the people at the last.

Ka ke tāmateʻi moʻoni ia; ʻe tomuʻa hoko ho nima kiate ia ke tāmateʻi ia, pea toki hoko ki ai ʻae nima ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.

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.

Pea te ke tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka, ke ne mate; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻahiʻahi ke fakahēʻi koe meia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale ʻoe pōpula.

11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing among you.

Pea ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea manavahē, pea ʻe ʻikai toe fai ha angakovi pehē ʻiate kimoutolu.

12 And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell therein, you shall hear men saying,

“Kapau te ke fanongo ki he talanoa ʻi ha kolo ʻe taha, ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate koe ke ke nofo ai, ʻo pehē,

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,

Ko e kau tangata niʻihi, ko e fānau ʻae kovi, kuo ʻalu ʻiate kimoutolu, pea kuo nau fakahēʻi ʻae kakai ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke tau ō ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe,’ ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ʻilo;

14 then you shall enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place among you,

Te ke toki fehuʻi koe, ʻo faʻa ʻeke, fehuʻi fakapapau; pea vakai, kapau ʻoku moʻoni, pea kuo pau ʻaupito ʻae meʻa ko ia pea kuo fai ʻae meʻa kovi lahi ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu;

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.

Ko e moʻoni te ke teʻia ʻae kakai ʻoe kolo ko ia ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, mo e ngaahi fanga manu ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.

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.

Pea te ke tānaki hono vete kotoa pē ki he loto hala motuʻa, pea ke tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae kolo ko ia, pea mo e vete kotoa pē ʻo ia, koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ka ʻe hoko ia ko e tafungofunga pe ʻo taʻengata; ʻe ʻikai toe langa ia.

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;

“Pea ke ʻoua naʻa hiki ki homou nima ha meʻa siʻi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakamalaʻia, koeʻuhi ke tafoki ʻa Sihova mei hono lahi fau ʻo hono houhau, pea fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa kiate koe, pea manavaʻofa kiate koe, pea fakatokolahi koe, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuakava ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai;

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.

‌ʻOka ke ka tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ke fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
