Deuteronomy 13
1 If a prophete risith in the myddis of thee, ethir he that seith hym silf to haue seyn a dreem, and he biforseith a signe and a wondur to comynge aftir,
「你們中間若有先知或是做夢的起來，向你顯個神蹟奇事，
2 and this that he spak bifallith, and he seith to thee, Go we, and sue alien goddis, whiche thou knowist not, and serue we hem,
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，
3 thou schalt not here the wordis of that prophete, ether of dremere; for youre Lord God assaieth you, that he wite opynli whether ye louen hym ether nay, in al youre herte, and in al youre soule.
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。
4 Sue ye youre Lord, and `drede ye hym; kepe ye his comaundementis, and here ye `the vois of hym; ye schulen serue hym, and ye schulen cleue to hym.
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。
5 Forsothe thilke prophete, ether the feynere of dremes, schal be slayn; for he spak that he schulde turne you awei fro youre Lord God, that ladde you out of the lond of Egipt, and ayenbouyte you fro the hous of seruage, that `thilke prophete schulde make thee to erre fro the weie which thi Lord God comaundide to thee; and thou schalt do awey yuel fro the myddis of thee.
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。
6 If thi brothir, the sone of thi modir, ether thi sone, ethir thi douyter, ether the wijf which is in thi bosum, ethir thi freend whom thou louest as thi soule, wole counsele thee, and seith priueli, Go we and serue alien goddis, whiche thou knowist not,
「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－
7 and thi fadris, of alle the folkis `in cumpas, that ben niy ether fer, fro the bigynnyng `til to the ende of the lond,
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，
8 assente thou not to hym, nether here thou, nether thin iyen spare hym, that thou haue mercy,
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，
9 and hide hym, but anoon thou schalt sle hym. Thin hond be fyrst on him and aftir thee al the puple putte to hond.
總要殺他；你先下手，然後眾民也下手，將他治死。
10 He schal be oppressid with stoonus, and `schal be slayn; for he wolde drawe thee awei fro thi Lord God, that ledde thee out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hous of seruage,
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。
11 that al Israel here and drede, and do no more ony thing lijk this thing.
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。
12 If thou herist ony men seiynge in oon of thi citees, whiche thi Lord God schal yyue to thee to enhabite,
「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』；
13 The sones of Belial yeden out fro the myddis of thee, and turneden awei the dwelleris of the citee, and seiden, Go we, and serue alien goddis whiche ye knowen not,
14 enquere thou bisili, and whanne the treuthe of the thing is biholdun diligentli, if thou fyndist that this thing is certeyn, which is seid, and that this abhominacioun is doon in werk,
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，
15 anoon thou schalt smyte the dwelleris of that citee bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and thou schalt `do it awey, and alle thingis that ben ther ynne, `til to beestis.
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。
16 Also what euer thing of purtenaunce of houshold is, thou schalt gadere in the myddis of the stretis therof, and thou schalt brenne with that citee, so that thou waste alle thingis to thi Lord God, and it be a biriel euerlastynge; it schal no more be bildid.
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。
17 And no thing of that cursyng schal cleue in thin hond, that the Lord be turned awei fro the yre of his strong veniaunce, and haue mercy on thee, and multiplie thee, as he swoor to thi fadris.
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。」
18 Whanne thou hast herd the vois of thi Lord God, thou schalt kepe alle hise heestis whiche Y comaunde to thee to day, that thou do that that is plesaunt in the siyt of thi Lord God.
