< 申命記 13 >

1 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
If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 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
and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s serve them,”
3 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
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 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
You shall walk after the LORD your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him.
5 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
That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD 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 the LORD your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
6 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
If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods”—which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
7 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
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 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
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 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
but you shall surely kill him. Your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.
10 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
You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 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
All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.
12 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
If you hear about one of your cities, which the LORD your God gives you to dwell there, that
13 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
certain wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods,” which you have not known,
14 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
then you shall inquire, investigate, and ask diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination was done among you,
15 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
you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
16 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
You shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, with all of its plunder, to the LORD your God. It shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.
17 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
Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand, that the LORD 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,
18 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
when you listen to the LORD your God’s voice, to keep all his commandments which I command you today, to do that which is right in the LORD your God’s eyes.
