Deteronòm 13
1 “Si yon pwofèt, oswa yon moun ki konn fè rèv leve pami nou; si l anonse de nou yon sign oswa yon mèvèy,
If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives thee a sign or a wonder,
2 epi sign oswa mèvèy ke li te pale a vin vrè, konsènan lè li te pale avèk nou an, pou l te di: ‘Annou ale apre lòt dye (ke nou pa t konnen yo); epi annou sèvi yo,’
and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou have not known, and let us serve them,
3 nou pa pou koute pawòl a pwofèt sila yo oswa moun rèv sa yo. Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap pase nou a leprèv pou wè si nou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou, e avèk tout nanm nou.
thou shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams, for Jehovah your God proves you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 “Nou va swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e krent Li. Nou va kenbe kòmandman Li yo, e obeyi vwa Li. Nou va sèvi Li, e kenbe fèm nèt ak Li.
Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cling to him.
5 Men pwofèt la oswa sila ki fè rèv sila a, va vin mete a lanmò, akoz li te konseye rebelyon kont SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, epi ki te peye ranson nou pou soti nan kay esklavaj la, pou sedwi nou nan chemen ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou mache a. Konsa, nou va retire mechanste sa a pami nou.
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
6 “Si frè ou a, fis a manman ou a, oswa fis pa w la, oswa fi pa w la, oswa madanm ke nou renmen anpil la, oswa zanmi nou ki tankou pwòp nanm nou an, vin sedwi nou an sekrè pou di: ‘Annou ale sèvi lòt dye yo,’ (ke ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo, pa t konnen),
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is as thine own soul, entices thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou, nor thy fathers,
7 nan dye pèp ki antoure nou yo, kit li touprè, kit li lwen, soti nan yon pwent latè jis rive nan lòt pwent lan),
of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth,
8 nou pa pou dako avè l, ni koute li. “Ni zye noupa pou fè pitye de li. Nou p ap fè pa li, ni pwoteje li.
thou shall not consent to him, nor hearken to him. Neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shall thou spare, neither shall thou conceal him,
9 Men anverite, nou va touye li. Men ou va premye itilize pou mete li a lanmò, epi apre, men a tout pèp la.
but thou shall surely kill him. Thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10 Konsa, nou va lapide li ak kout wòch jiska lanmò, akoz li te chache sedwi nou pou kite SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, andeyò kay esklavaj la.
And thou shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 Konsa, tout Israël va tande pou vin gen lakrent; epi pèsòn pami nou p ap janm fè yon bagay mechan konsa ankò.
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall no more do any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.
12 “Si nou tande de youn nan vil ke SENYÈ a ap bannou pou viv ladann yo,
If thou shall hear tell concerning one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God gives thee to dwell there, saying,
13 ke kèk sanzave te sòti pami nou pou te sedwi abitan a vil pa yo, e te di: ‘Annou ale sèvi lòt dye’ (ke nou pa t janm konnen yo),
Certain base fellows have gone out from the midst of thee, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known,
14 alò, nou va fè ankèt pou byen chache. “Si se vrè, zafè a vin etabli ke abominasyon te fèt pami nou,
then thou shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently. And, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee,
15 nou va, vrèman, frape sila ki viv nan vil sa a avèk lam nepe. Nou va detwi li nèt avèk tout sa ki ladann l, ni bèt li yo avèk lam nepe.
thou shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it, and the cattle in it, with the edge of the sword.
16 Konsa, nou va ranmase tout byen ki sezi nan mitan lari li, epi brile vil la avèk tout byen li avèk dife, kòm yon ofrann brile konplè bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Li va rete yon pil mazi jis pou tout tan. Li p ap janm rebati.
And thou shall gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street of it, and shall burn the city with fire, and all the spoil of it, every whit, to Jehovah thy God, and it shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.
17 “Anyen nan zafè entèdi sa a p ap kole nan men nou, pou SENYÈ a kapab detounen nan kòlè Li k ap brile a, epi montre mizerikòd anvè nou, gen konpasyon pou nou, e fè nou vin miltipliye jan Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo,
And nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to thy hand, that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he has sworn to thy fathers,
18 si nou va koute vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e kenbe tout kòmandman Li yo ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a; epi fè sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
when thou shall hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
