1 If there arise among you a prophet, or one that dreameth dreams, and he give thee a sign or a wonder,
2 and the sign or the wonder come to pass that he told unto thee, when he said, Let us go after other gods, whom thou hast not known, and let us serve them,
3 -thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and ye shall fear him, and his commandments shall ye keep, and his voice shall ye hear; and ye shall serve him, and unto him shall ye cleave.
5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; for he hath spoken revolt against Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, -to draw thee out of the way that Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is to thee as thy soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (whom thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
7 of the gods of the peoples which are round about you, near unto thee, or far from thee, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth),
8 thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye spare him, neither shalt thou pity him, neither shalt thou screen him,
9 but thou shalt in any case kill him: thy hand shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people;
10 and thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; for he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
11 and all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wicked thing as this in thy midst.
12 If in one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee to dwell there, thou hearest, saying,
13 There are men, children of Belial, gone out from among you, and they have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, whom ye have not known;
14 then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and if it be truth, {and} the thing be certain, that this abomination hath happened in the midst of thee,
15 thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it to destruction, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
16 And all the spoil of it shalt thou gather into the midst of the open place thereof, and shalt burn the city with fire, and all the spoil thereof, wholly to Jehovah thy God; and it shall be a heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
17 And thou shalt not let anything cleave to thy hand of the devoted thing; that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
18 when thou hearkenest to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, that thou mayest do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy 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。"
