Deuteronomio 13
1 Si se levanta entre vosotros un profeta o un soñador de sueños, y os da una señal o un prodigio,
“Possibly there will be people among you who [say that they] are prophets. They may say that they are able to interpret the meaning of dreams or perform various kinds of miracles [DOU].
2 y se realiza la señal o el prodigio del que os ha hablado, diciendo: “Vayamos en pos de otros dioses” (que no habéis conocido) “y sirvámosles”,
They will say those things in order to induce/persuade you to worship gods that you have never known about before. But even if what they predict happens,
3 no escucharéis las palabras de ese profeta, ni de ese soñador de sueños, porque Yahvé vuestro Dios os está probando, para saber si amáis a Yahvé vuestro Dios con todo vuestro corazón y con toda vuestra alma.
do not pay attention to what they say. Yahweh our God will be testing you to find out if you love him with all your inner being.
4 Caminarás en pos de Yahvé vuestro Dios, lo temerás, guardarás sus mandamientos y obedecerás su voz. Le servirás y te aferrarás a él.
You must conduct your lives as Yahweh our God wants you to, and you must revere him, and do what he tells you to do [MTY], and worship only him, and (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him.
5 Ese profeta, o ese soñador de sueños, morirá, porque ha hablado con rebeldía contra el Señor, tu Dios, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto y te rescató de la casa de servidumbre, para apartarte del camino que el Señor, tu Dios, te mandó seguir. Así, eliminarás el mal de entre vosotros.
“But you must execute anyone who [falsely says that he] is a prophet, or someone who [falsely] says that he can interpret dreams, or who tells you to rebel against Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt. People like that are only wanting to cause you to stop conducting your lives as Yahweh has commanded you to do. Execute them, to get rid of this evil among you.
6 Si tu hermano, el hijo de tu madre, o tu hijo, o tu hija, o la mujer de tu seno, o tu amigo que es como tu propia alma, te seduce en secreto, diciendo: “Vamos a servir a otros dioses” — que no has conocido, tú ni tus padres
It does not matter if even your brother or your daughter or your wife or some close/dear friend secretly urges you, saying ‘Let’s worship other gods. They are gods which you or your ancestors have never known about.
7 de los dioses de los pueblos que están en vuestros alrededores, cerca o lejos de ti, desde un extremo de la tierra hasta el otro extremo de la tierra —
Some of them may encourage you to worship gods that people-groups that live near you worship, or gods that groups who live far away worship.
8 no lo consentirás ni lo escucharás; ni tu ojo se apiadará de él, ni lo perdonarás, ni lo ocultarás;
Do not [SYN] do what they suggest. Do not even listen to them. Do not even be merciful to them, and do not keep secret what they have done.
9 sino que lo matarás. Tu mano será la primera en ponerlo a morir, y después las manos de todo el pueblo.
Execute them! You [who are their relative] must be the first one to [throw stones at them to] kill them, and then let everyone else [MTY] throw stones at them, too.
10 Lo apedrearás hasta que muera, porque ha tratado de apartarte del Señor, tu Dios, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de servidumbre.
Kill such people by throwing stones at them, because they are trying to cause you to stop worshiping Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt.
11 Todo Israel oirá y temerá, y no volverá a hacer una maldad como ésta entre vosotros.
When they are executed, all the Israeli people will hear [what happened], and they will become afraid, and none of them will do such an evil thing again.
12 Si oyes hablar de una de tus ciudades, que Yahvé vuestro Dios te da para habitar en ella, que
“When you are living in one of the towns in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, you may hear
13 algunos malvados han salido de entre vosotros y han arrastrado a los habitantes de su ciudad, diciendo: “Vamos a servir a otros dioses”, que vosotros no has conocisteis,
that some worthless people there among you [IDM] are deceiving the people of their town, saying, ‘Let’s go and worship other gods,’ but they are gods that you have never heard about before.
14 entonces indagarás, investigarás y preguntarás con diligencia. He aquí, si es cierto, y la cosa es cierta, que tal abominación fue hecha entre vosotros,
Investigate it thoroughly/carefully. If [you find out that] it is true that such a disgraceful thing has happened,
15 ciertamente heriréis a los habitantes de esa ciudad a filo de espada, destruyéndola por completo, con todo lo que hay en ella y su ganado, a filo de espada.
kill all the people in that town. And kill all their livestock, too. Destroy the town completely.
16 Recogerás todo su botín en medio de su calle, y quemarás con fuego la ciudad, con todo su botín, a Yahvé vuestro Dios. Será un montón para siempre. No se volverá a construir.
Gather all the possessions that belonged to the people who lived there and pile them up in the city plaza. Then burn the town and everything in it, as though it were an offering to Yahweh that would be completely burned [on the altar]. The ruins/ashes must stay there forever; the town must never be rebuilt.
17 Nada de lo consagrado se aferrará a tu mano, para que Yahvé se aparte del ardor de su cólera y se apiade de ti y te multiplique, como ha jurado a tus padres,
None of you Israelis must take for yourselves [IDM] anything that Yahweh has said must be destroyed. But if you do what I say, Yahweh will stop being angry with you, and he will act mercifully toward you. And he will cause you to have many children/descendants, which is what he promised our ancestors that he would do.
18 cuando escuches la voz de Yahvé vuestro Dios, para cumplir todos sus mandamientos que hoy te ordeno, para hacer lo que es justo a los ojos de Yahvé vuestro Dios.
Yahweh our God will do all those things if you do what he is telling you to do, and if you obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do].”
