1 If ever you have among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder takes place, and he says to you, Let us go after other gods, which are strange to you, and give them worship;
3 Then give no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God is testing you, to see if all the love of your heart and soul is given to him.
4 But keep on in the ways of the Lord your God, fearing him and keeping his orders and hearing his voice, worshipping him and being true to him.
5 And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.
6 If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife of your heart, or the friend who is as dear to you as your life, working on you secretly says to you, Let us go and give worship to other gods, strange to you and to your fathers;
7 Gods of the peoples round about you, near or far, from one end of the earth to the other;
8 Do not be guided by him or give attention to him; have no pity on him or mercy, and give him no cover;
9 But put him to death without question; let your hand be the first stretched out against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.
10 Let him be stoned with stones till he is dead; because it was his purpose to make you false to the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
11 And all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and no one will again do such evil as this among you.
12 And if word comes to you, in one of the towns which the Lord your God is giving you for your resting-place,
13 That good-for-nothing persons have gone out from among you, turning the people of their town from the right way and saying, Let us go and give worship to other gods, of whom you have no knowledge;
14 Then let a full search be made, and let questions be put with care; and if it is true and certain that such a disgusting thing has been done among you;
15 Then take up arms against the people of that town and give it up to the curse, with all its cattle and everything in it.
16 And take all the goods into the middle of its open space, burning the town and all its property with fire as an offering to the Lord your God; it is to be a waste for ever; there is to be no more building there.
17 Keep not a thing of what is cursed for yourselves: so the Lord may be turned away from the heat of his wrath, and have mercy on you, and give you increase as he said in his oath to your fathers:
18 So long as you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep all his orders which I give you today, and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
1 "你们中间如果有先知， 或作梦的人兴起来， 给你显示神迹或奇事； （本节在《马索拉抄本》为13:2）
2 他告诉你的神迹和奇事应验了， 以致他对你说： ‘我们去随从别的、你不认识的神， 事奉他们吧。’
3 你不可听从那先知或作梦的人的话； 因为耶和华你们的 神试验你们， 要知道你们是不是一心一意爱耶和华你们的 神。
4 你们要顺从耶和华你们的 神， 敬畏他， 遵守他的诫命， 听从他的话， 事奉他， 紧靠他。
5 至于那先知， 或作梦的人， 你们要把他处死， 因为他说了叛逆的话， 叛逆了那领你们出埃及地， 救赎你脱离为奴之家的耶和华你们的 神， 要你离弃耶和华你的 神吩咐你走的道路。这样你就把那恶从你们中间除掉了。
6 "你的同母兄弟或你的儿女， 你怀中的妻子或视你如自己性命的朋友， 如果暗中引诱你， 说： ‘我们去事奉别的神吧。’就是你和你的列祖向来不认识的，
7 是你们周围各族的神， 无论是离你近的， 或是离你远的神； 从地这边直到地那边的神，
8 你都不可依从他， 也不可听从他； 你的眼不可顾惜他， 你不可怜悯他， 也不可袒护他；
9 总要把他杀死， 你要先向他动手， 然后全民才动手打死他。
10 你要用石头打死他， 因为他要使你离弃那领你出埃及地， 脱离为奴之家的耶和华你的 神。
11 这样， 全以色列听见了， 必然害怕， 就不会再在你们中间行这样的恶了。
12 "在耶和华你的 神赐给你居住的一座城中， 如果你听说
13 有些匪徒从你中间出来， 把本城的居民引离， 说： ‘我们去事奉别的神吧。’那些神是你们素来不认识的；
14 你就要调查、研究， 仔细访问， 如果的确有这可厌恶的事行在你们中间，
15 你就要用刀剑把那城里的居民杀掉， 把那城和城里的一切， 以及牲畜， 都用刀剑完全毁灭。
16 并且把从城里掠夺的一切战利品， 都要收集在那城的广场上， 用火把城和在城里掠夺的一切战利品焚烧， 献给耶和华你的 神； 那城就要永远成为废墟， 不可再建造。
17 那当毁灭的物， 一点也不可留在你手中， 好使耶和华转意不发烈怒， 反而向你施恩， 怜悯你， 照着他向你的列祖所起的誓， 使你的人数增多；
18 只要你听从耶和华你的 神的话， 遵守我今日吩咐你的一切诫命， 实行耶和华你的 神看为正的事， 就必这样。"
