Deuteronomy 13
1 “When a prophet or a dreamer of a dream arises in your midst, and he has given a sign or wonder to you,
「你們中間若有先知或是做夢的起來，向你顯個神蹟奇事，
2 and the sign and the wonder has come to pass, which he has spoken of to you, saying, Let us go after other gods (which you have not known) and serve them,
對你說：『我們去隨從你素來所不認識的別神，事奉它吧。』他所顯的神蹟奇事雖有應驗，
3 you do not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of the dream, for your God YHWH is trying you to know whether you are loving your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul;
你也不可聽那先知或是那做夢之人的話；因為這是耶和華－你們的上帝試驗你們，要知道你們是盡心盡性愛耶和華－你們的上帝不是。
4 you walk after your God YHWH, and you fear Him, and you keep His commands, and you listen to His voice, and you serve Him, and you cleave to Him.
你們要順從耶和華－你們的上帝，敬畏他，謹守他的誡命，聽從他的話，事奉他，專靠他。
5 And that prophet or that dreamer of the dream is put to death, for he has spoken apostasy against your God YHWH (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and has ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of the way in which your God YHWH has commanded you to walk, and you have put away evil from your midst.
那先知或是那做夢的既用言語叛逆那領你們出埃及地、救贖你脫離為奴之家的耶和華－你們的上帝，要勾引你離開耶和華－你上帝所吩咐你行的道，你便要將他治死。這樣，就把那惡從你們中間除掉。
6 When your brother, son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who [is] as your own soul, moves you in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (which you have not known, you and your fathers,
「你的同胞弟兄，或是你的兒女，或是你懷中的妻，或是如同你性命的朋友，若暗中引誘你，說：『我們不如去事奉你和你列祖素來所不認識的別神－
7 of the gods of the peoples who [are] around you, who are near to you, or who are far off from you, from the end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth),
是你四圍列國的神。』無論是離你近，離你遠，從地這邊到地那邊的神，
8 you do not consent to him, nor listen to him, nor does your eye have pity on him, nor do you spare, nor do you cover him over.
你不可依從他，也不可聽從他，眼不可顧惜他。你不可憐恤他，也不可遮庇他，
9 But you surely kill him; your hand is on him in the first place to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last;
總要殺他；你先下手，然後眾民也下手，將他治死。
10 and you have stoned him with stones and he has died, for he has sought to drive you away from your God YHWH, who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
要用石頭打死他，因為他想要勾引你離開那領你出埃及地為奴之家的耶和華－你的上帝。
11 and all Israel hears and fears, and does not add to do like this evil thing in your midst.
以色列眾人都要聽見害怕，就不敢在你們中間再行這樣的惡了。
12 When you hear [someone] in one of your cities, which your God YHWH is giving to you to dwell there, saying,
「在耶和華－你上帝所賜你居住的各城中，你若聽人說，有些匪類從你們中間的一座城出來勾引本城的居民，說：『我們不如去事奉你們素來所不認識的別神』；
13 Men, sons of worthlessness, have gone out of your midst, and they force away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (which you have not known),
14 then you have inquired, and searched, and asked diligently, and behold, [if] truth, the thing is established; this abomination has been done in your midst—
你就要探聽，查究，細細地訪問，果然是真，準有這可憎惡的事行在你們中間，
15 you surely strike the inhabitants of that city by the mouth of the sword, devoting it and all that [is] in it, even its livestock, by the mouth of the sword.
你必要用刀殺那城裏的居民，把城裏所有的，連牲畜，都用刀殺盡。
16 And you gather all its spoil into the midst of its broad place, and have completely burned the city and all its spoil with fire for your God YHWH, and it has been a continuous heap, it is not built anymore;
你從那城裏所奪的財物都要堆積在街市上，用火將城和其內所奪的財物都在耶和華－你上帝面前燒盡；那城就永為荒堆，不可再建造。
17 and nothing from any of that [which is] devoted stays in your hand, so that YHWH turns back from the fierceness of His anger, and has given mercies to you, and loved you, and multiplied you, as He has sworn to your fathers,
那當毀滅的物連一點都不可粘你的手。你要聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，遵守我今日所吩咐你的一切誡命，行耶和華－你上帝眼中看為正的事，耶和華就必轉意，不發烈怒，恩待你，憐恤你，照他向你列祖所起的誓使你人數增多。」
18 because you listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep all his commands which I am commanding you today, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of your God YHWH.”
