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,
And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you 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 come to pass which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you know not;
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 shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God tries you, to know whether you love 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.
You shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and you shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves 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 a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in: so shall you abolish 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),
And if your brother by your father or mother, or your son, or daughter, or your wife in your bosom, or friend who is equal to your own soul, entreat you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve 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),
of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to 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 shall not consent to him, neither shall you listen to him; and your eye shall not spare him, you shall feel no regret for him, neither shall you at all protect 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.
you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him among the first to kill him, and the hands of all the people at the last.
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 they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God who brought you 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 not again do according to this evil thing among you.
12 “Si nou tande de youn nan vil ke SENYÈ a ap bannou pou viv ladann yo,
And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell therein, you shall hear men 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),
Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you knew not,
14 alò, nou va fè ankèt pou byen chache. “Si se vrè, zafè a vin etabli ke abominasyon te fèt pami nou,
then you shall enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place 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 shall utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; you shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.
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 all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, 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 there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as he sware 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.
if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge you this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
