Deotoronomia 13

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

If there arise among you a prophet, or one that dreameth dreams, and he give thee 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 come to pass that he told unto thee, when he said, Let us go after other gods, whom thou hast not known, and let us serve them,

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.

— thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

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.

Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and ye shall fear him, and his commandments shall ye keep, and his voice shall ye hear; and ye shall serve him, and unto him shall ye cleave.

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, shall be put to death; for he hath spoken revolt against Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, — to draw thee out of the way that Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.

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 thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is to thee as thy soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (whom thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

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

of the gods of the peoples which are round about you, near unto thee, or far from thee, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth),

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

thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye spare him, neither shalt thou pity him, neither shalt thou screen him,

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

but thou shalt in any case kill him: thy hand shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterwards 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.

and thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; for he hath 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 Ary ny Isiraely rehetra handre izany, dia hatahotra ka tsy hanao ratsy toy izany intsony eo aminao.

and all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wicked thing as this in thy midst.

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

If in one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee to dwell there, thou hearest, saying,

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).

There are men, children of Belial, gone out from among you, and they have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, whom ye have not known;

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 shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and if it be truth, [and] the thing be certain, that this abomination hath happened in the midst of thee,

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.

thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it to destruction, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

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 all the spoil of it shalt thou gather into the midst of the open place thereof, and shalt burn the city with fire, and all the spoil thereof, wholly to Jehovah thy God; and it shall be a heap for ever; it shall not be built again.

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,

And thou shalt not let anything cleave to thy hand of the devoted thing; that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy 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.

when thou hearkenest to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, that thou mayest do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
