Deuteronomii 13
1 Si surrexerit in medio tui prophetes, aut qui somnium vidisse se dicat, et praedixerit signum atque portentum,
If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 et evenerit quod locutus est, et dixerit tibi: Eamus, et sequamur deos alienos quos ignoras, et serviamus eis:
and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let us go after other deities” (which you have not known) “and let us abad ·serve· them;”
3 non audies verba prophetae illius aut somniatoris: quia tentat vos Dominus Deus vester, ut palam fiat utrum diligatis eum an non, in toto corde, et in tota anima vestra.
you shall not sh'ma ·hear obey· the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Adonai your God is testing you, to know whether you 'ahav ·affectionately love· Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Dominum Deum vestrum sequimini, et ipsum timete, et mandata illius custodite, et audite vocem eius: ipsi servietis, et ipsi adhaerebitis.
You shall walk after Adonai your God, fear him, keep his mitzvot ·instructions·, and sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice, and you shall abad ·serve· him, and dabak ·cling to, worship· him.
5 Propheta autem ille aut fictor somniorum interficietur: quia locutus est ut vos averteret a Domino Deo vestro, qui eduxit vos de Terra Aegypti, et redemit vos de domo servitutis: ut errare te faceret de via, quam tibi praecepit Dominus Deus tuus: et auferes malum de medio tui.
That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Adonai your God enjoined you to walk in. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
6 Si tibi voluerit persuadere frater tuus filius matris tuae, aut filius tuus vel filia, sive uxor quae est in sinu tuo, aut amicus, quem diligis ut animam tuam, clam dicens: Eamus, et serviamus diis alienis, quos ignoras tu, et patres tui,
If your brother, the 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, entices you secretly, saying, “Let us go and abad ·serve· other deities,” which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
7 cunctarum in circuitu gentium, quae iuxta vel procul sunt, ab initio usque ad finem terrae,
of the deities of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth;
8 non acquiescas ei, nec audias, neque parcat ei oculus tuus ut miserearis et occultes eum,
you shall not consent to him, nor sh'ma ·hear obey· him; you must not pity him or spare him, neither shall you conceal him;
9 sed statim interficies. sit primum manus tua super eum, et post te omnis populus mittat manum.
but you shall surely kill him! Your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.
10 Lapidibus obrutus necabitur: quia voluit te abstrahere a Domino Deo tuo, qui eduxit te de Terra Aegypti de domo servitutis:
You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], out of the house of bondage.
11 ut omnis Israel audiens timeat, et nequaquam ultra faciat quippiam huius rei simile.
All Israel [God prevails] shall sh'ma ·hear obey·, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.
12 Si audieris in una urbium tuarum, quas Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi ad habitandum, dicentes aliquos:
If you shall sh'ma ·hear obey· about one of your cities, which Adonai your God gives you to dwell there, that
13 Egressi sunt filii Belial de medio tui, et averterunt habitatores urbis suae, atque dixerunt: Eamus, et serviamus diis alienis quos ignoratis:
certain base fellows have gone out from among you, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and abad ·serve· other deities,” which you have not known;
14 quare solicite et diligenter, rei veritate perspecta, si inveneris certum esse quod dicitur, et abominationem hanc opere perpetratam,
then you shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such detestable things are being done among you,
15 statim percuties habitatores urbis illius in ore gladii, et delebis eam ac omnia quae in illa sunt, usque ad pecora.
you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
16 quidquid etiam supellectilis fuerit, congregabis in medio platearum eius, et cum ipsa civitate succendes, ita ut universa consumas Domino Deo tuo, et sit tumulus sempiternus. non aedificabitur amplius,
You shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, and all every bit of its plunder, to Adonai your God. It shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.
17 et non adhaerebit de illo anathemate quidquam in manu tua: ut avertatur Dominus ab ira furoris sui, et misereatur tui, multiplicetque te sicut iuravit patribus tuis,
Nothing of the devoted thing shall dabak ·cling to, worship· your hand, that Adonai may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you rachamim ·merciful loves·, and have racham ·compassionate love· on you, and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers;
18 quando audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, custodiens omnia praecepta eius, quae ego praecipio tibi hodie, ut facias quod placitum est in conspectu Domini Dei tui.
when you sh'ma ·hear obey· Adonai your God’s voice, to keep all his mitzvot ·instructions· which I am enjoining to you today, to do that which is right in Adonai your God’s eyes.
