< Deotoronomia 13 >
1 Aa naho miongak’ ama’o ao ty mpitoky ndra ty mpañinofy nofy mitalily viloñe ndra raha tsitantane,
Maybe a prophet or someone who has dreams about the future comes along and gives you a prediction you about some sign or miracle,
2 naho heneke i viloñey ndra i raha tsitantane natalili’ey vaho manao ty hoe re: Antao hañorike ‘ndrahare ila’e (ze tsy nifohi’ areo) naho hitoroñe iareo
and the sign or wonder does happens. If after that they tell you, “Let's follow other gods that you don't know, and let's worship them,”
3 Le ko iantofa’o i mpitokiy ndra i mpañinofiy, amy t’ie fitsoha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, haharofoana’e he toe kokoa’ areo an-kaampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
then you must not listen to what that prophet or dreamer has to say because the Lord your God is trying to find out whether you really love him with all your mind and with all your being.
4 Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ty horihe’ areo, ie avao ty hañeveña’ areo le o lili’eo ty hambena’ areo, naho i fiarañanaña’ey ro haoñeñe, ie ty toroñe’ areo vaho ie ty vontitire’ areo.
You are to follow the Lord your God and respect him. Keep his commandments and do what he says; worship him and hold onto him.
5 Aa le havetrake i mpitokiy ndra i mpañinofy nofiy, ie nivolam-piolàñe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo nañavotse anahareo an-tane Mitsraime añe naho nijebañe anahareo amy trañom-pañondevozañey, handronjea’e azo hisitak’ amy lala’ linili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hañaveloa’oy. Aa le mongoro o sata raty ama’oo.
These kinds of prophet or dreamer must be executed, because they have promoted rebellion against the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt and rescued you from the prison-house of slavery. They have tried to lead you from the way that the Lord your God has ordered you to follow. You must eliminate the evil among you.
6 Aa naho mitangogo hanigìke azo ty rahalahi’o, ke ty anan-drene’o, he ty ana-dahi’o, ke ty anak’ ampela’o, he i valy fetrehe’oy, ke i atehena’o longo-sarotsey, manao ama’o ty hoe, Antao hitoron-drahare ila’e (ze mbe lia’e tsy niisa’o ndra o roae’oo,
Even if your own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your best friend secretly encourages you, saying, “Let's go and worship other gods” unfamiliar to you and your forefathers,
7 te mone ndrahare’ ondaty mañohok’ azoo, marine azo, ke lavitse azo, añ’olo’ ty tane toy pak’añ’ila’e añe, )
the gods of your pagan nation neighbors, whether they love close by or far away in any direction,
8 le ko miantok’ aze ndra mañaoñe aze, ko tretrezem-pihaino’o, ko arova’o vaho ko mañetak’ aze,
don't give into them or listen to them. Show them no mercy. Don't spare them or protect them.
9 f’ie tsy mete tsy vonoe’o le ty fità’o ro hionjoñe hamofok’ aze valoha’e ho rotsaheñe vaho ho tonjohiza’ ty fità’ ondaty iabio.
No, you absolutely must kill them! You start killing them, and then have everyone else help.
10 Retsaho vato hivetraha’e amy t’ie nipay hanintak’ azo am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o nañavotse azo an-tane Mitsraime añe naho an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao,
Stone the person to death for trying lead you away from the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
11 le ho janjiñe’ o ana’ Israele iabio vaho ho hembañe tsy hanao i haloloañe zay ka añivo’o ao.
Then every Israelite will hear about it and be afraid, and won't ever do such an evil thing among you.
12 Aa naho janji’o ty ami’ty rova raike natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o himoneña’o ty hoe,
It may happen that once you're living in the towns the Lord your God is giving you, you hear
13 Niakatse boak’ ama’ areo ao ze o ana’ i Beliale zao nitaoñe ty mpimone’ i rova’ iareoy, ami’ty hoe: Antao hitoroñe ndrahare ila’e, ze tsy nifohi’ areo.
that evil people have taken over in one of your towns and have led the people there astray, telling them, “Let's go and worship other gods” that you don't know.
14 Le hotsohotsò, naho tsikaraho, vaho aodio. Aa naho rekets’ i sisiý te toe nanoeñe ama’o ao i hativañe zay,
If this does happen you need to make a full investigation, inquiring about the facts and interrogating witnesses. If it's proved beyond doubt that this awful sin has actually been committed among you,
15 le toe ho zevoñe’o an-dela-pibara o mpimone’ i rovaio, hamongorañe aze an-dela-pibara, naho ze he’e ama’e ao naho o hare iabio.
then you have to kill the people living in that town with the sword. Set apart for destruction its people and its livestock.
16 Le hatonto’o an-kiririsam-pivory ao o nikopahe’o iabio; le orò añ’afo i rovay naho o fonga kinopakeo, ie iaby, ho am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ie ho votre kòake kitro katroke; tsy haoreñe ka.
You must pile up all the people's possessions in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the town and everything in it as a complete burnt offering to the Lord your God. The town must remain a heap of ruins forever. It must never be rebuilt.
17 Asoao tsy hipiteham-pità’o o raha navìke ho rotsaheñeo, soa te hitolik’ amy fifombo’e miforoforoy t’Iehovà, hitretreza’e, naho hiferenaiña’e vaho hamorohota’e manahake i nitsarae’e aman-droae’oy,
Don't take for yourselves anything that has been set apart for destruction so that the Lord won't be angry any more. He will be merciful to you, showing you compassion, and giving you many descendants as he promised to your forefathers,
18 naho toe tsendreñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, hambena’o o lili’e lilieko azo androanio, hanoe’o ty hiti’e am-pihaino’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
because you are obeying the Lord your God, keeping all his commandments that I'm giving you today, and doing what is right in the sight of the Lord your God.
