Deuteronomio 13
1 Si se levanta entre vosotros un profeta o un soñador de sueños, y os da una señal o un prodigio,
If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and if he gives you a sign or a wonder,
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”,
and if the sign or the wonder comes about, of which he spoke to you and said, 'Let us go after other gods, that you have not known, and let us worship them,'
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 listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
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 will walk after Yahweh your God, honor him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you will worship him and cling to 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.
That prophet or that dreamer of dreams will be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and who redeemed you out of the house of bondage. That prophet wants to draw you out of the way in which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk. So put away the evil from 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
Suppose that your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is to you like your own soul, secretly entices you and says, 'Let us go and worship other gods that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors—
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 —
any of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other end of the earth.'
8 no lo consentirás ni lo escucharás; ni tu ojo se apiadará de él, ni lo perdonarás, ni lo ocultarás;
You must not give in to him or listen to him, and you must not permit your eye to pity him, and you must not spare him or conceal him.
9 sino que lo matarás. Tu mano será la primera en ponerlo a morir, y después las manos de todo el pueblo.
Instead, you will surely kill him; your hand will be the first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
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.
You will stone him to death with stones, because he has tried to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 Todo Israel oirá y temerá, y no volverá a hacer una maldad como ésta entre vosotros.
All Israel will hear and fear, and will not continue to do this kind of wickedness among you.
12 Si oyes hablar de una de tus ciudades, que Yahvé vuestro Dios te da para habitar en ella, que
If you hear anyone say about one of your cities, that Yahweh your God gives you to live in:
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,
Some wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city and said, 'Let us go and worship other gods that you have not known.'
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,
Then you will examine the evidence, make search, and investigate it thoroughly. When you discover that it is true and certain that such an abominable thing has been done among you, then you will take action.
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.
You will surely attack the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, completely destroy it and all the people who are in it, along with its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
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.
You will gather all the spoil from it into the middle of its street and will burn the city, as well as all its spoil—for Yahweh your God. The city will be a heap of ruins forever; it must never be built again.
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 those things set apart for destruction must stick in your hand. This must be the case, so that Yahweh will turn from the fierceness of his anger, show you mercy, have compassion on you, and make you increase in numbers, as he has sworn to your fathers.
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.
He will do this because you are listening to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all his commandments that I am commanding you today, to do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.
