Deuteronomo 13

1 Ngati mneneri kapena wina aliyense amene amanena zamʼtsogolo mwa maloto atuluka pakati panu, nalengeza za chizindikiro chozizwitsa kapena chodabwitsa,

If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder,

2 chinthu nʼkuchitikadi, tsono iyeyo nʼkunena kuti, “Tiyeni titsatire milungu ina, tiyeni tiyipembedze,” (kunena milungu imene simunayidziwe),

And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them;

3 musamumvere mneneriyo kapena wolotayo. Yehova Mulungu wanu afuna akuyeseni kuti aone ngati mumamukonda ndi mtima wanu wonse ndi moyo wanu wonse.

You shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proves you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Muyenera kutsatira Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndipo ndi Iyeyo amene muyenera kumuopa. Muzisunga malamulo ake ndi kumamumvera, muzimutumikira ndipo kumukangamira Iyeyo.

You shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and join to him.

5 Mneneri kapena wolotayo ayenera kuphedwa, popeza analalikira zopandukira Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene anakutulutsani ku Igupto ndi kukupulumutsani ku dziko la ukapolo. Wolalikirayo anafuna kukupatutsani pa njira imene Yehova Mulungu wanu anakulamulirani kuti muyitsatire. Muzichotsa choyipa pakati panu.

And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he has spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the LORD your God commanded you to walk in. So shall you put the evil away from the middle of you.

6 Ngati mʼbale wanu weniweni kapena mwana wanu wamwamuna kapena wamkazi, kapena mkazi wanu wokondedwa, kapena mnzanu wapamtima akukakamizani mwachinsinsi, nʼkumati, “Tiyeni tipite tikapembedze milungu ina” (milungu imene inuyo kapena makolo anu sanayidziwe,

If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, which is as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;

7 milungu ya anthu okuzungulirani, kaya ndi apafupi kapena akutali, kuchokera kumapeto mpaka kumapeto kwina kwa dziko lapansi),

Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth;

8 musamugonjere kapena kumumvera. Musamumvere chisoni. Musamuleke kapena kumutchinjiriza.

You shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him:

9 Mumuphe ndithu. Dzanja lanu likhale loyambirira kumupha, kenaka manja a anthu ena onse.

But you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

10 Mumuponye miyala mpaka kumupha, chifukwa anafuna kukupatutsani pa njira ya Yehova Mulungu amene anakutulutsani ku Igupto, dziko la ukapolo.

And you shall stone him with stones, that he die; because he has sought to thrust you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

11 Tsono Aisraeli onse adzamva nachita mantha, ndipo palibe mmodzi pakati panu amene adzachitenso choyipa chotere.

And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

12 Ngati mumvetsedwa kuti ku umodzi mwa mizinda imene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani kuti mukhalemo,

If you shall hear say in one of your cities, which the LORD your God has given you to dwell there, saying,

13 kwapezeka anthu ena oyipa pakati panu ndipo asocheretsa anthu ambiri mʼmizinda yanu, pomanena kuti, “Tiyeni tikapembedze milungu ina” (milungu imene simunayidziwe),

Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known;

14 mukuyenera kufunsa, kulondola ndi kufufuza bwino nkhaniyo. Ndipo ngati zitatsimikizikadi kuti ndi zoona kuti chinthu chonyansa chotere chachitikadi pakati panu,

Then shall you inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is worked among you;

15 muyenera kuwapha onse okhala mu mzinda umenewo. Muwonongeretu kwathunthu mzindawo, anthu ake ndi ziweto zake zomwe.

You shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

16 Katundu yense wa anthu mu mzindawo mumuwunjike pamodzi pakatikati pa bwalo losonkhanako ndipo mutenthe mzindawo pamodzi ndi katundu wake yense monga nsembe yathunthu yopsereza ya kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu. Mzinda umenewo ukhale bwinja mpaka muyaya, usadzamangidwenso.

And you shall gather all the spoil of it into the middle of the street thereof, and shall burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD your God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.

17 Musapezeke ndi kanthu kalikonse koyenera kuwonongedwa kuti Yehova abweze mkwiyo wake wochititsa manthawu. Adzakuchitirani chifundo ndi kukumverani chisoni, ndipo adzakuchulukitsani monga analonjeza mwa lumbiro kwa makolo anu,

And there shall stick nothing of the cursed thing to your hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers;

18 chifukwa mumamvera Yehova Mulungu wanu, kusunga malamulo ake onse amene ndikukupatsani lero lino ndi kuchita zoyenera pamaso pake.

When you shall listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
