Deteronòm 13
1 “Si yon pwofèt, oswa yon moun ki konn fè rèv leve pami nou; si l anonse de nou yon sign oswa yon mèvèy,
If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and if he gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 epi sign oswa mèvèy ke li te pale a vin vrè, konsènan lè li te pale avèk nou an, pou l te di: ‘Annou ale apre lòt dye (ke nou pa t konnen yo); epi annou sèvi yo,’
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 nou pa pou koute pawòl a pwofèt sila yo oswa moun rèv sa yo. Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap pase nou a leprèv pou wè si nou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou, e avèk tout nanm nou.
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 “Nou va swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e krent Li. Nou va kenbe kòmandman Li yo, e obeyi vwa Li. Nou va sèvi Li, e kenbe fèm nèt ak Li.
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 Men pwofèt la oswa sila ki fè rèv sila a, va vin mete a lanmò, akoz li te konseye rebelyon kont SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, epi ki te peye ranson nou pou soti nan kay esklavaj la, pou sedwi nou nan chemen ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou mache a. Konsa, nou va retire mechanste sa a pami nou.
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 “Si frè ou a, fis a manman ou a, oswa fis pa w la, oswa fi pa w la, oswa madanm ke nou renmen anpil la, oswa zanmi nou ki tankou pwòp nanm nou an, vin sedwi nou an sekrè pou di: ‘Annou ale sèvi lòt dye yo,’ (ke ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo, pa t konnen),
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 nan dye pèp ki antoure nou yo, kit li touprè, kit li lwen, soti nan yon pwent latè jis rive nan lòt pwent lan),
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 nou pa pou dako avè l, ni koute li. “Ni zye noupa pou fè pitye de li. Nou p ap fè pa li, ni pwoteje li.
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 Men anverite, nou va touye li. Men ou va premye itilize pou mete li a lanmò, epi apre, men a tout pèp la.
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 Konsa, nou va lapide li ak kout wòch jiska lanmò, akoz li te chache sedwi nou pou kite SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, andeyò kay esklavaj la.
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 Konsa, tout Israël va tande pou vin gen lakrent; epi pèsòn pami nou p ap janm fè yon bagay mechan konsa ankò.
All Israel will hear and fear, and will not continue to do this kind of wickedness among you.
12 “Si nou tande de youn nan vil ke SENYÈ a ap bannou pou viv ladann yo,
If you hear anyone say about one of your cities, that Yahweh your God gives you to live in:
13 ke kèk sanzave te sòti pami nou pou te sedwi abitan a vil pa yo, e te di: ‘Annou ale sèvi lòt dye’ (ke nou pa t janm konnen yo),
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 alò, nou va fè ankèt pou byen chache. “Si se vrè, zafè a vin etabli ke abominasyon te fèt pami nou,
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 nou va, vrèman, frape sila ki viv nan vil sa a avèk lam nepe. Nou va detwi li nèt avèk tout sa ki ladann l, ni bèt li yo avèk lam nepe.
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 Konsa, nou va ranmase tout byen ki sezi nan mitan lari li, epi brile vil la avèk tout byen li avèk dife, kòm yon ofrann brile konplè bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Li va rete yon pil mazi jis pou tout tan. Li p ap janm rebati.
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 “Anyen nan zafè entèdi sa a p ap kole nan men nou, pou SENYÈ a kapab detounen nan kòlè Li k ap brile a, epi montre mizerikòd anvè nou, gen konpasyon pou nou, e fè nou vin miltipliye jan Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo,
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 si nou va koute vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e kenbe tout kòmandman Li yo ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a; epi fè sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
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.
