Deuteronomy 13
1 Bí wòlíì tàbí alásọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa àlá lílá bá farahàn láàrín yín, tí ó sì ń kéde iṣẹ́ àmì tàbí iṣẹ́ ìyanu,
“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 bí iṣẹ́ àmì tàbí iṣẹ́ ìyanu tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ bá ṣẹ tí òun sì wí pé, “ẹ wá ẹ jẹ́ kí a tẹ̀lé ọlọ́run mìíràn” (àwọn ọlọ́run tí ẹ kò mọ̀ rí) “kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí a máa sìn wọ́n,”
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 ẹ má fetí sí ọ̀rọ̀ wòlíì tàbí àlá náà, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ń dán an yín wò ni, láti mọ̀ bóyá ẹ fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àyà yín àti gbogbo ọkàn an yín.
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 Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni kí ẹ tẹ̀lé, Òun ni kí ẹ bu ọlá fún, ẹ pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́ kí ẹ sì gbọ́ tirẹ̀, ẹ sìn ín, kí ẹ sì dìímú ṣinṣin.
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 Wòlíì náà tàbí alálàá náà ni kí ẹ pa, nítorí pé wàásù ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ó mú yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá, tí ó sì rà yín padà lóko ẹrú. Ó ti gbìyànjú láti fà yín kúrò lójú ọ̀nà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti pàṣẹ fún un yín láti máa rìn. Ẹ gbọdọ̀ yọ ibi náà kúrò láàrín yín.
“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 Bí arákùnrin tìrẹ gan an ọmọ ìyá rẹ tàbí ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin, aya tí o fẹ́ràn jù, tàbí ọ̀rẹ́ tímọ́tímọ́ bá tàn ọ́ jẹ níkọ̀kọ̀ wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a lọ sin ọlọ́run mìíràn” (ọlọ́run tí ìwọ tàbí baba rẹ kò mọ̀,
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 ọlọ́run àwọn tí ó wà láyìíká yín, yálà wọ́n jìnnà tàbí wọ́n wà nítòsí, láti òpin ilẹ̀ kan dé òmíràn),
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 má ṣe fetí sí i, má sì dá sí i, má ṣe dáàbò bò ó.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n pípa ni kí o pa á. Ọwọ́ rẹ ni yóò kọ́kọ́ wà lára rẹ̀ láti pa á, lẹ́yìn náà ọwọ́ gbogbo ènìyàn.
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 Sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa nítorí pé ó gbìyànjú láti fà ọ́ kúrò lẹ́yìn Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, tí ó mú ọ jáde ti Ejibiti wá kúrò ní oko ẹrú.
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 Gbogbo Israẹli yóò sì gbọ́, ẹ̀rù yóò sì bà wọ́n, kò sì sí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín tí yóò dán irú ibi bẹ́ẹ̀ wò mọ́.
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 Bí ẹ̀yin bá gbọ́ tí a sọ nípa èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìlú u yín tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún un yín láti máa gbé,
“When you are living in one of the towns in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, you may hear

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 Kí ẹ wádìí, ẹ béèrè, kí ẹ sì tọpinpin ọ̀rọ̀ náà dájúṣáká, bí ó bá jẹ́ òtítọ́ ni, tí ó sì hàn dájú pé ìwà ìríra yìí ti ṣẹlẹ̀ láàrín yín.
Investigate it thoroughly/carefully. If [you find out that] it is true that such a disgraceful thing has happened,
15 Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń gbé ìlú náà ni kí ẹ fi idà run pátápátá. Ẹ run ún pátápátá, àti ènìyàn àti ẹran ọ̀sìn inú rẹ̀.
kill all the people in that town. And kill all their livestock, too. Destroy the town completely.

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 A kò gbọdọ̀ rí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ohun ìyàsọ́tọ̀ fún ìparun wọ̀n-ọn-nì lọ́wọ́ yín, kí Olúwa ba à le yípadà kúrò nínú ìbínú gbígbóná rẹ̀, yóò sì ṣàánú fún un yín, yóò sì bá a yín kẹ́dùn, yóò sì mú kí ẹ pọ̀ sí i, bí ó ti fì búra ṣèlérí fún àwọn baba ńlá yín.
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 Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ẹ̀yin sì ń pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, tí mo ń fún un yín lónìí yìí, tí ẹ̀yin sì ń ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ lójú rẹ̀.
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].”
