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 en medio de ti se levanta un profeta o un soñador, y te 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,
aunque se cumpla tal señal o prodigio que te anunció, y dice: Sigamos otros ʼelohim que no conociste, 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 escucharás las palabras de tal profeta o de tal soñador, porque Yavé tu ʼElohim te prueba para saber si amas a Yavé tu ʼElohim con todo tu corazón y con toda tu 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.
Seguirás y temerás a Yavé tu ʼElohim. Guardarás sus Mandamientos y escucharás su voz. A Él servirás y te aferrarás.
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.
Pero tal profeta o soñador morirá, porque aconsejó rebelión contra Yavé tu ʼElohim, Quien te sacó de la tierra de Egipto y te rescató de casa de esclavitud, para extraviarte del camino en el cual Yavé tu ʼElohim te ordenó que andes. Así extirparás el mal de en medio de ti.
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 propia madre, o tu hijo o tu hija, o la esposa que amas, o tu amigo íntimo, te incita y dice en secreto: Vamos y sirvamos a otros ʼelohim, que ni tú ni tus antepasados conocieron,
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 ʼelohim de los pueblos que te rodean, cerca o lejos de ti, desde un extremo de la tierra hasta el otro,
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 cederás ni lo escucharás. Tu ojo no tendrá compasión de él, ni lo perdonarás ni lo encubrirás,
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 lo matarás. Tu mano será la primera que caiga sobre él para que muera, y después la mano 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 la muerte, porque procuró extraviarte de Yavé tu ʼElohim, Quien te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de esclavitud.
11 and all Israel hears and fears, and does not add to do like this evil thing in your midst.
Entonces todo Israel oirá y temerá, y nunca se repetirá semejante maldad en medio de ti.
12 When you hear [someone] in one of your cities, which your God YHWH is giving to you to dwell there, saying,
Si en alguna de las ciudades que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da para que vivas, oyes decir
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),
que salieron de en medio de ti hombres perversos que instigaron a los habitantes de tu ciudad, y dicen: Vamos y sirvamos a otros ʼelohim que ustedes no conocieron,
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 tú investigarás, indagarás y preguntarás con diligencia. Si es verdad que tal repugnancia fue cometida en medio de ti,
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.
de manera imperdonable matarás a los habitantes de esa ciudad a filo de espada. La destruirás con todo lo que esté en ella y matarás 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;
Luego juntarás todo su despojo en medio de su plaza y consumirás totalmente con fuego la ciudad con todo su despojo, todo ello como ofrenda quemada a Yavé tu ʼElohim. Será un montón de ruinas para siempre. Jamás será reconstruida.
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 repugnante se pegará a tu mano, para que Yavé se vuelva del ardor de su ira, te conceda misericordia, tenga compasión de ti y te multiplique, como juró a tus antepasados,
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.”
porque obedeciste a la voz de Yavé tu ʼElohim al guardar todos sus Mandamientos que yo te ordeno hoy, para que hagas lo recto delante de Yavé tu ʼElohim.
