< Deuteronomy 13 >

1 'When there ariseth in your midst a prophet, or a dreamer of a dream, and he hath given unto thee a sign or wonder,
“你们中间若有先知或是做梦的起来,向你显个神迹奇事,
2 and the sign and the wonder hath come which he hath spoken of unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods (which thou hast not known), and serve them,
对你说:‘我们去随从你素来所不认识的别神,事奉它吧。’他所显的神迹奇事虽有应验,
3 thou dost not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of the dream, for Jehovah your God is trying you, to know whether ye are loving Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;
你也不可听那先知或是那做梦之人的话;因为这是耶和华—你们的 神试验你们,要知道你们是尽心尽性爱耶和华—你们的 神不是。
4 after Jehovah your God ye walk, and Him ye fear, and His commands ye keep, and to His voice ye hearken, and Him ye serve, and to Him ye cleave.
你们要顺从耶和华—你们的 神,敬畏他,谨守他的诫命,听从他的话,事奉他,专靠他。
5 'And that prophet, or that dreamer of the dream, is put to death, for he hath spoken apostasy against Jehovah your God (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and hath ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of the way in which Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to walk, and thou hast put away the evil thing from thy midst.
那先知或是那做梦的既用言语叛逆那领你们出埃及地、救赎你脱离为奴之家的耶和华—你们的 神,要勾引你离开耶和华—你 神所吩咐你行的道,你便要将他治死。这样,就把那恶从你们中间除掉。
6 'When thy brother — son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend who [is] as thine own soul — doth move thee, in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods — (which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers,
“你的同胞弟兄,或是你的儿女,或是你怀中的妻,或是如同你性命的朋友,若暗中引诱你,说:‘我们不如去事奉你和你列祖素来所不认识的别神—
7 of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you, who are near unto thee, or who are far off from thee, from the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth) —
是你四围列国的神。’无论是离你近,离你远,从地这边到地那边的神,
8 thou dost not consent to him, nor hearken unto him, nor doth thine eye have pity on him, nor dost thou spare, nor dost thou cover him over.
你不可依从他,也不可听从他,眼不可顾惜他。你不可怜恤他,也不可遮庇他,
9 'But thou dost surely kill him; thy hand is on him, in the first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last;
总要杀他;你先下手,然后众民也下手,将他治死。
10 and thou hast stoned him with stones, and he hath died, for he hath sought to drive thee away from Jehovah thy God, who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
要用石头打死他,因为他想要勾引你离开那领你出埃及地为奴之家的耶和华—你的 神。
11 and all Israel do hear and fear, and add not to do like this evil thing in thy midst.
以色列众人都要听见害怕,就不敢在你们中间再行这样的恶了。
12 'When thou hearest, in one of thy cities which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to dwell there, [one] saying,
“在耶和华—你 神所赐你居住的各城中,你若听人说,有些匪类从你们中间的一座城出来勾引本城的居民,说:‘我们不如去事奉你们素来所不认识的别神’;
13 Men, sons of worthlessness, have gone out of thy midst, and they force away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known —
14 and thou hast enquired, and searched, and asked diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is established; this abomination hath been done in thy midst:
你就要探听,查究,细细地访问,果然是真,准有这可憎恶的事行在你们中间,
15 'Thou dost surely smite the inhabitants of that city by the mouth of the sword; devoting it, and all that [is] in it, even its cattle, by the mouth of the sword;
你必要用刀杀那城里的居民,把城里所有的,连牲畜,都用刀杀尽。
16 and all its spoil thou dost gather unto the midst of its broad place, and hast burned with fire the city and all its spoil completely, before Jehovah thy God, and it hath been a heap age-during, it is not built any more;
你从那城里所夺的财物都要堆积在街市上,用火将城和其内所夺的财物都在耶和华—你 神面前烧尽;那城就永为荒堆,不可再建造。
17 and there doth not cleave to thy hand any of the devoted thing, so that Jehovah doth turn back from the fierceness of His anger, and hath given to thee mercies, and loved thee, and multiplied thee, as He hath sworn to thy fathers,
那当毁灭的物连一点都不可粘你的手。你要听从耶和华—你 神的话,遵守我今日所吩咐你的一切诫命,行耶和华—你 神眼中看为正的事,耶和华就必转意,不发烈怒,恩待你,怜恤你,照他向你列祖所起的誓使你人数增多。”
18 when thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commands which I am commanding thee to-day, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
