Teutalonome 13

1 “Kapau ʻoku tupu hake meiate kimoutolu ha taha ʻoku kikite, pe ko e tokotaha ʻoku misi ʻae ngaahi misi, pea tuku kiate koe ha fakaʻilonga pe ha meʻa fakaofo,

If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and if he gives you a sign or a wonder,

2 Pea ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻilonga pe ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻaia naʻa ne lea ki ai, pea pehē ʻe ia, Ketau ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo, pea ketau tauhi ʻakinautolu;

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 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke tokanga ki he lea ʻae kikite ko ia, pe ko e tokotaha ko ia ʻoku misi ʻae ngaahi misi: he ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ke ʻilo pe te mou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻaki homou loto kotoa mo homou laumālie kotoa:

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 Ke mou muimui ʻia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea manavahē kiate ia, pea tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, pea fai talangofua ki hono leʻo, pea ke mou tauhi ia, pea pikitai kiate ia.

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 Pea ko e kikite ko ia, pe ko e tokotaha ʻoku misi ʻae ngaahi misi ko ia, ʻe tāmateʻi ia; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lea ke fakatafoki ʻakimoutolu meia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo ne huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu mei he fale fakapōpula, ke fakahēʻi koe mei he hala ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke ʻalu ai. Pea ʻe pehē pe hoʻo tukuange ʻae kovi meiate koe.

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 “Kapau ʻoku fakahekeheke fakafufū kiate koe ʻe ho tokoua, ko e tama ʻa hoʻo faʻē, pē ko ho foha, pē ko ho ʻofefine, pē ko e uaifi ʻo ho fatafata, pe ko ho kaumeʻa ʻaia ʻoku tatau mo ho laumālie ʻoʻou, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ta ō ʻo tauhi ʻotua kehe,’ ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi, ʻe koe, pe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai;

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 ‌ʻI he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻaia ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate kimoutolu pe ʻoku [nau ]ofi kiate koe, pe ʻoku mamaʻo atu ʻiate koe, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo māmani ʻo aʻu atu ki he ngataʻanga ʻe taha;

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 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke tui kiate ia, pe fie tokanga ki ai; pea ke ʻoua naʻa ʻofa ho mata kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa ke mamae ki ai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ia:

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 Ka ke tāmateʻi moʻoni ia; ʻe tomuʻa hoko ho nima kiate ia ke tāmateʻi ia, pea toki hoko ki ai ʻae nima ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.

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 Pea te ke tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka, ke ne mate; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻahiʻahi ke fakahēʻi koe meia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale ʻoe pōpula.

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 Pea ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea manavahē, pea ʻe ʻikai toe fai ha angakovi pehē ʻiate kimoutolu.

All Israel will hear and fear, and will not continue to do this kind of wickedness among you.

12 “Kapau te ke fanongo ki he talanoa ʻi ha kolo ʻe taha, ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate koe ke ke nofo ai, ʻo pehē,

If you hear anyone say about one of your cities, that Yahweh your God gives you to live in:

13 Ko e kau tangata niʻihi, ko e fānau ʻae kovi, kuo ʻalu ʻiate kimoutolu, pea kuo nau fakahēʻi ʻae kakai ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke tau ō ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe,’ ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ʻilo;

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 Te ke toki fehuʻi koe, ʻo faʻa ʻeke, fehuʻi fakapapau; pea vakai, kapau ʻoku moʻoni, pea kuo pau ʻaupito ʻae meʻa ko ia pea kuo fai ʻae meʻa kovi lahi ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu;

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 Ko e moʻoni te ke teʻia ʻae kakai ʻoe kolo ko ia ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, mo e ngaahi fanga manu ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.

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 Pea te ke tānaki hono vete kotoa pē ki he loto hala motuʻa, pea ke tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae kolo ko ia, pea mo e vete kotoa pē ʻo ia, koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ka ʻe hoko ia ko e tafungofunga pe ʻo taʻengata; ʻe ʻikai toe langa ia.

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 “Pea ke ʻoua naʻa hiki ki homou nima ha meʻa siʻi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakamalaʻia, koeʻuhi ke tafoki ʻa Sihova mei hono lahi fau ʻo hono houhau, pea fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa kiate koe, pea manavaʻofa kiate koe, pea fakatokolahi koe, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuakava ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai;

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 ‌ʻOka ke ka tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ke fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

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.
