申命記 13
1 「你們中間若有先知或是做夢的起來，向你顯個神蹟奇事，
If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder,
2 對你說：『我們去隨從你素來所不認識的別神，事奉它吧。』他所顯的神蹟奇事雖有應驗，
and the sign or the wonder come to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, "Let us go after other gods" (which you have not known) "and let us serve them";
3 你也不可聽那先知或是那做夢之人的話；因為這是耶和華－你們的上帝試驗你們，要知道你們是盡心盡性愛耶和華－你們的上帝不是。
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Jehovah your God proves you, to know whether you love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 你們要順從耶和華－你們的上帝，敬畏他，謹守他的誡命，聽從他的話，事奉他，專靠他。
You shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and cling to him.
5 那先知或是那做夢的既用言語叛逆那領你們出埃及地、救贖你脫離為奴之家的耶和華－你們的上帝，要勾引你離開耶和華－你上帝所吩咐你行的道，你便要將他治死。這樣，就把那惡從你們中間除掉。
That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Jehovah your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
6 「你的同胞弟兄，或是你的兒女，或是你懷中的妻，或是如同你性命的朋友，若暗中引誘你，說：『我們不如去事奉你和你列祖素來所不認識的別神－
If your brother, the son of your father, or the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your friend who is closest to you, entice you secretly, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods," which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
7 是你四圍列國的神。』無論是離你近，離你遠，從地這邊到地那邊的神，
of the gods of the peoples who are around 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 你不可依從他，也不可聽從他，眼不可顧惜他。你不可憐恤他，也不可遮庇他，
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 總要殺他；你先下手，然後眾民也下手，將他治死。
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 要用石頭打死他，因為他想要勾引你離開那領你出埃及地為奴之家的耶和華－你的上帝。
You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 以色列眾人都要聽見害怕，就不敢在你們中間再行這樣的惡了。
All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more such wickedness as this is in the midst of you.
12 「在耶和華－你上帝所賜你居住的各城中，你若聽人說，有些匪類從你們中間的一座城出來勾引本城的居民，說：『我們不如去事奉你們素來所不認識的別神』；
If you shall hear tell concerning one of your cities, which Jehovah your God gives you to dwell there, saying,
Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of you, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods," which you have not known;
14 你就要探聽，查究，細細地訪問，果然是真，準有這可憎惡的事行在你們中間，
then you shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, look, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in the midst of you,
15 你必要用刀殺那城裏的居民，把城裏所有的，連牲畜，都用刀殺盡。
you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
16 你從那城裏所奪的財物都要堆積在街市上，用火將城和其內所奪的財物都在耶和華－你上帝面前燒盡；那城就永為荒堆，不可再建造。
You shall gather all its plunder into the midst of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to Jehovah your God: and it shall be a ruin forever; it shall not be built again.
17 那當毀滅的物連一點都不可粘你的手。你要聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，遵守我今日所吩咐你的一切誡命，行耶和華－你上帝眼中看為正的事，耶和華就必轉意，不發烈怒，恩待你，憐恤你，照他向你列祖所起的誓使你人數增多。」
Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand; that Jehovah 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;
when you shall listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah your God.
