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 a prophet or dreamer of dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you,
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 if the sign or wonder he has spoken to you comes about, but he says, “Let us follow other gods (which you have not known) and let us worship 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.
you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him 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.
You are to follow the LORD your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast 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.
Such a prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he has advocated rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way in which the LORD your God has commanded you to walk. So you must purge the evil from among you.
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 your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (which neither you nor your fathers have known,
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),
the gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, whether from one end of the earth or the other),
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.
you must not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield 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.
Instead, you must surely kill him. Your hand must be the first against him to put him to death, and then the hands 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.
Stone him to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
11 Konsa, tout Israël va tande pou vin gen lakrent; epi pèsòn pami nou p ap janm fè yon bagay mechan konsa ankò.
Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.
12 “Si nou tande de youn nan vil ke SENYÈ a ap bannou pou viv ladann yo,
If, regarding one of the cities the LORD your God is giving you to inhabit, you hear it said
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),
that wicked men have arisen from among you and have led the people of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you 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 you must inquire, investigate, and interrogate thoroughly. And if it is established with certainty that this abomination has been committed among you,
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.
you must surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword. Devote to destruction all its people and livestock.
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 you are to gather all its plunder in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. The city must remain a mound of ruins forever, never to be rebuilt.
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,
Nothing devoted to destruction shall cling to your hands, so that the LORD will turn from His fierce anger, grant you mercy, show you compassion, and multiply you as He swore to your 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.
because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all His commandments I am giving you today and doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
