Deuteronomy 13

1 “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].

汝らの中に預言者あるひは夢者興りて徴證と奇蹟を汝に見し

2 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,

汝に告て我らは今より汝と我とが是まで識ざりし他の神々に從ひて之に事へんと言ことあらんにその徴證または奇蹟これが言ごとく成とも

3 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.

汝その預言者または夢者の言に聽したがふ勿れ其は汝等の神ヱホバ汝らが心を盡し精神を盡して汝らの神ヱホバを愛するや否やを知んとて斯なんぢらを試みたまふなればなり

4 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.

汝らは汝らの神ヱホバに從ひて歩み之を畏れその誡命を守りその言に遵ひ之に事へこれに附從ふべし

5 “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.

その預言者または夢者をば殺すべし是は彼汝らをして汝らをエジプトの國より導き出し奴隸の家より贖ひ取たる汝らの神ヱホバに背かせんとし汝の神ヱホバの汝に歩めと命ぜし道より汝を誘ひ出さんとして語るに因てなり汝斯して汝の中より惡を除き去べし

6 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.

汝の母の生る汝の兄弟または汝の男子女子または汝の懐の妻または汝と身命を共にする汝の友潜に汝を誘ひて言あらん汝も汝の先祖等も識ざりし他の神々に我ら往て事へん

7 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.

即ち汝の周圍にある國々の神の或は汝に近く或は汝に遠くして地の此極より地の彼極までに鎮り坐る者に我ら事へんと斯言ことあるとも

8 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.

汝これに從ふ勿れ之に聽なかれ之を惜み視る勿れ之を憐むなかれ之を庇ひ匿す勿れ

9 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.

汝かならず之を殺すべし之を殺すには汝まづ之に手を下し然る後に民みな手を下すべし

10 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.

彼はエジプトの國奴隸の家より汝を導き出したまひし汝の神ヱホバより汝を誘ひ離さんと求めたれば汝石をもて之を撃殺すべし

11 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.

然せばイスラエルみな聞て懼れ重ねて斯る惡き事を汝らの中に行はざらん

12 “When you are living in one of the towns in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, you may hear

汝聞に汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて住しめたまへる汝の邑の一に

13 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.

邪僻なる人々興り我らは今まで識ざりし他の神々に往て事へんと言てその邑に住む人を誘ひ惑はしたりと言あらば

14 Investigate it thoroughly/carefully. If [you find out that] it is true that such a disgraceful thing has happened,

汝これを尋ね探り善問べし若その事眞にその言確にして斯る憎むべき事汝らの中に行はれたらば

15 kill all the people in that town. And kill all their livestock, too. Destroy the town completely.

汝かならずその邑に住む者を刃にかけて撃ころしその邑とその中に居る一切の者およびその家畜を刃にかけて盡く撃ころすべし

16 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.

またその中より獲たる掠取物は凡てこれをその衢に集め火をもてその邑とその一切の掠取物をことごとく焚て汝の神ヱホバに供ふべし是は永く荒邱となりて再び建なほさるること無るべきなり

17 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.

斯汝この詛はれし物を少許も汝の手に附おく勿れ然せばヱホバその烈しき怒を靜め汝に慈悲を加へて汝を憐れみ汝の先祖等に誓ひしごとく汝の數を衆くしたまはん

18 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].”

汝もし汝の神ヱホバの言を聽き我が今日なんぢに命ずるその一切の誡命を守り汝の神ヱホバの善と觀たまふ事を行はば是のごとくなるべし
