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,
Si se levanta entre vosotros un profeta o un soñador de sueños, y os da una señal o un prodigio,
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,
y se realiza la señal o el prodigio del que os ha hablado, diciendo: “Vayamos en pos de otros dioses” (que no habéis conocido) “y sirvámosles”,
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;
no escucharéis las palabras de ese profeta, ni de ese soñador de sueños, porque Yahvé vuestro Dios os está probando, para saber si amáis a Yahvé vuestro Dios con todo vuestro corazón y con toda vuestra alma.
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.
Caminarás en pos de Yahvé vuestro Dios, lo temerás, guardarás sus mandamientos y obedecerás su voz. Le servirás y te aferrarás a él.
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.
Ese profeta, o ese soñador de sueños, morirá, porque ha hablado con rebeldía contra el Señor, tu Dios, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto y te rescató de la casa de servidumbre, para apartarte del camino que el Señor, tu Dios, te mandó seguir. Así, eliminarás el mal de entre vosotros.
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,
Si tu hermano, el hijo de tu madre, o tu hijo, o tu hija, o la mujer de tu seno, o tu amigo que es como tu propia alma, te seduce en secreto, diciendo: “Vamos a servir a otros dioses” — que no has conocido, tú ni tus padres
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),
de los dioses de los pueblos que están en vuestros alrededores, cerca o lejos de ti, desde un extremo de la tierra hasta el otro extremo de la tierra —
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.
no lo consentirás ni lo escucharás; ni tu ojo se apiadará de él, ni lo perdonarás, ni lo ocultarás;
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;
sino que lo matarás. Tu mano será la primera en ponerlo a morir, y después las manos de todo el pueblo.
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;
Lo apedrearás hasta que muera, porque ha tratado de apartarte del Señor, tu Dios, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de servidumbre.
11 and all Israel hears and fears, and does not add to do like this evil thing in your midst.
Todo Israel oirá y temerá, y no volverá a hacer una maldad como ésta entre vosotros.
12 When you hear [someone] in one of your cities, which your God YHWH is giving to you to dwell there, saying,
Si oyes hablar de una de tus ciudades, que Yahvé vuestro Dios te da para habitar en ella, que
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),
algunos malvados han salido de entre vosotros y han arrastrado a los habitantes de su ciudad, diciendo: “Vamos a servir a otros dioses”, que vosotros no has conocisteis,
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—
entonces indagarás, investigarás y preguntarás con diligencia. He aquí, si es cierto, y la cosa es cierta, que tal abominación fue hecha entre vosotros,
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.
ciertamente heriréis a los habitantes de esa ciudad a filo de espada, destruyéndola por completo, con todo lo que hay en ella y su ganado, a filo de espada.
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;
Recogerás todo su botín en medio de su calle, y quemarás con fuego la ciudad, con todo su botín, a Yahvé vuestro Dios. Será un montón para siempre. No se volverá a construir.
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,
Nada de lo consagrado se aferrará a tu mano, para que Yahvé se aparte del ardor de su cólera y se apiade de ti y te multiplique, como ha jurado a tus padres,
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.”
cuando escuches la voz de Yahvé vuestro Dios, para cumplir todos sus mandamientos que hoy te ordeno, para hacer lo que es justo a los ojos de Yahvé vuestro Dios.
