Deotoronomia 13

1 Raha tahìny misy mpaminany na mpanonofy eo aminareo izay milaza famantarana na fahagagana aminao

If ever you have among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

2 sady manao hoe: Andeha isika hanaraka andriamani-kafa (izay tsy fantatrao), ka aoka hanompo azy isika, na dia tanteraka aza ny famantarana na fahagagana izay nolazainy taminao,

And the sign or the wonder takes place, and he says to you, Let us go after other gods, which are strange to you, and give them worship;

3 dia aza mihaino ny tenin’ izany mpaminany na mpanonofy izany; fa mizaha toetra anareo Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, hahalalany na miorina amin’ ny fitiavana an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo amin’ ny fonareo rehetra sy ny fanahinareo rehetra ianareo.

Then give no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God is testing you, to see if all the love of your heart and soul is given to him.

4 Manaraha an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, ka aoka Izy no hatahoranareo, ary ny didiny no hotandremanareo, ary ny feony no hohenoinareo, ary aoka Izy no hotompoinareo sy hifikiranareo.

But keep on in the ways of the Lord your God, fearing him and keeping his orders and hearing his voice, worshipping him and being true to him.

5 Fa izany mpaminany na mpanonofy izany dia hatao maty satria efa nanao teny fampiodinana amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo (Izay nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka nanavotra anao tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana), mba hitaona anao hiala amin’ ny lalana izay nasain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao halehanao. Ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy.

And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

6 Raha mitaona anao mangingina ny rahalahinao, zanaky ny reninao, na ny zanakaolahy, na ny zanakao-vavy, na ny vady andefimandrinao na ny sakaizanao izay toy ny ainao, ka manao hoe: Andeha isika hanompo andriamani-kafa (izay tsy fantatrao, na ny razanao),

If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife of your heart, or the friend who is as dear to you as your life, working on you secretly says to you, Let us go and give worship to other gods, strange to you and to your fathers;

7 dia ny andriamanitry ny firenena izay manodidina anareo, na ny akaikinao, na ny lavitra anao, hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany rehetra,

Gods of the peoples round about you, near or far, from one end of the earth to the other;

8 dia aza manaiky azy na mihaino azy ianao; ary aza mba iantran’ ny masonao izy, na amindranao fo, na afeninao;

Do not be guided by him or give attention to him; have no pity on him or mercy, and give him no cover;

9 fa vonoy ho faty izy; ny tananao no ho voalohany hamono azy, dia vao ny tanan’ ny vahoaka rehetra.

But put him to death without question; let your hand be the first stretched out against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.

10 Ary torahy vato ho faty izy, satria izy efa nitady hitaona anao hiala amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana.

Let him be stoned with stones till he is dead; because it was his purpose to make you false to the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

11 Ary ny Isiraely rehetra handre izany, dia hatahotra ka tsy hanao ratsy toy izany intsony eo aminao.

And all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and no one will again do such evil as this among you.

12 Raha mandre teny ianao ny amin’ ny tanànanao anankiray izay nomen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao honenana, manao hoe:

And if word comes to you, in one of the towns which the Lord your God is giving you for your resting-place,

13 Nisy olona tena ratsy fanahy nivoaka avy teo aminao ka nitaona ny mponina ao an-tanànany nanao hoe: Andeha isika hanompo andriamani-kafa (izay tsy fantatrareo).

That good-for-nothing persons have gone out from among you, turning the people of their town from the right way and saying, Let us go and give worship to other gods, of whom you have no knowledge;

14 dia diniho sy fotory ary adino tsara, ka raha, indro fa nisy marina tokoa izany zavatra izany, ka natao teo aminao izany fahavetavetana izany,

Then let a full search be made, and let questions be put with care; and if it is true and certain that such a disgusting thing has been done among you;

15 dia asio ny lelan-tsabatra mihitsy ny mponina amin’ izany tanàna izany, ka levony ny tanàna sy izay rehetra eo aminy, ary ny biby fiompy dia aringano amin’ ny lelan-tsabatra.

Then take up arms against the people of that town and give it up to the curse, with all its cattle and everything in it.

16 Ary ny entana nobaboina rehetra eo dia angòny eo afovoan’ ny kianja, ka doroy amin’ ny afo avokoa ny tanàna sy ny entana rehetra ao ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, ary aoka ho tanàna haolo mandrakizay izany tanàna izany ka tsy haorina intsony.

And take all the goods into the middle of its open space, burning the town and all its property with fire as an offering to the Lord your God; it is to be a waste for ever; there is to be no more building there.

17 Ary aoka tsy hisy hiraikitra amin’ ny tananao akory ny zavatra efa natolotra holevonina, mba hitsaharan’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fahatezerany mirehitra hamindrany fo aminao sy hiantrany anao, ary hahamaroany anao araka izay nianianany tamin’ ny razanao,

Keep not a thing of what is cursed for yourselves: so the Lord may be turned away from the heat of his wrath, and have mercy on you, and give you increase as he said in his oath to your fathers:

18 raha hohenoinao ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ka hotandremanao ny didiny rehetra izay andidiako anao anio, mba hanaovana izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.

So long as you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep all his orders which I give you today, and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
