Deuteronômio 13

1 If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 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 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 You shall walk after Yahweh your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him. 5 That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh 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 Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall remove 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 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 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 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 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 You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 11 All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.

12 If you hear about one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, that 13 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 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 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 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 Yahweh your God. It shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again. 17 Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand, that Yahweh 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 when you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep all his commandments which I command you today, to do that which is right in Yahweh your God’s eyes.

1 Ki te whakatika ake i roto i a koutou he poropiti, he moemoeā rānei, ā, ka hōmai e ia ki a koe he tohu, he merekara rānei, 2 ā, ka puta mai te tohu, te merekara rānei, i kōrero ai ia ki a koe, i mea ai, "Tātou ka whai ki ngā atua kē" (kīhai nei i mōhiotia e koe) "ka mahi atu hoki ki a rātou," 3 kei whakarongo koe ki ngā kōrero a taua poropiti, a taua tangata moemoeā rānei. E whakamātautau ana hoki a Ihowā, tō koutou Atua, i a koutou, kia mōhio ai e whakapaua rānei ō koutou ngākau katoa, ō koutou wairua katoa ki te aroha ki a Ihowā, ki tō koutou Atua. 4 Me haere koutou i muri i a Ihowā, i tō koutou Atua ko ia tā koutou e wehi ai, me pupuri āna whakahau, me whakarongo hoki ki tōna reo, me mahi anō ki a ia, me awhi ki a ia. 5 Ā, ko taua poropiti, ko taua tangata moemoeā rānei, me whakamate; mōna i takahi i a Ihowā, i tō koutou Atua – i tangohia mai ai koutou i te whenua o Īhipa, i hokona ai koe i roto i te whare pononga – kia tākina koe ki wāhi kē i te huarahi i whakahau ai a Ihowā, tōu Atua, ki a koe kia haerea. Pēnei ka whakakorea e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

6 Ki te whakawaia pukutia koe e tōu teina, e te tama rānei a tōu whaea, e tāu tama rānei, e tāu tamāhine rānei, e tōu hoa wahine rānei i tōu uma, e tōu hoa rānei e rite ana ki tōu ngākau, ki te mea ia, "Tātou ka haere, ka mahi ki ngā atua kē," kīhai nei koe i mōhio, a koe, ōu mātua rānei; 7 ki ētahi o ngā atua o ngā iwi i tētahi taha ōu, i tētahi taha, e tata ana ki a koe, kei tawhiti atu rānei i a koe, i tētahi pito o te whenua puta noa ki tētahi pito o te whenua; 8 kei whakaae koe ki a ia, kei whakarongo rānei ki a ia; kaua anō hoki tōu kanohi e aroha ki a ia, kaua e tohu i a ia, kaua hoki e huna i a ia. 9 Engari, patua rawatia kia mate; ko tōu ringa te pā wawe atu ki a ia hei whakamate i a ia, muri iho ko te ringa o te iwi katoa. 10 Ā, me āki ia e koe ki te kōhatu, kia mate; mōna i whai kia whakapeautia koe i a Ihowā, i tōu Atua, i tangohia mai ai koe i te whenua o Īhipa, i te whare pononga. 11 Ā, ka rongo a Īharaira katoa ka wehi, e kore hoki e mahi i te mea kino pēnā i tēnā i roto i a koutou i muri iho.

12 Ki te rongo kōrero koe mō tētahi o ōu pā, e hōmai e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe hei nohoanga, e kōrerotia ana, 13 kua haere atu ētahi, he tama nā Periara, i roto i a koe, kua whakapeau kē hoki i ngā tāngata o tō rātou pā, kua mea, "Tātou ka haere, ka mahi atu ki ngā atua kē," kīhai nei i mōhiotia e koutou; 14 nā, me rapu e koe, me ore atu, me te ui mārie anō. Nā, ki te mea he pono, he tūturu rawa te kōrero, kei te mahia tēnā mea whakarihariha i roto i a koe; 15 tukitukia rawatia ngā tāngata o taua pā ki te mata o te hoari, whakamōtītia rawatia a reira, me ngā mea katoa i roto, me āna kararehe, ki te mata o te hoari. 16 Ko ngā taonga katoa hoki o reira me kohi ki waenganui o tōna huarahi, ka tahu ai koe i te pā, me ōna taonga katoa, ki te ahi, ā, rūpeke noa, hei mea ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua. Me waiho hoki a reira hei pūranga mō ake tonu atu; kaua e hangā ā muri ake nei. 17 Kei piri hoki ki tōu ringa tētahi wāhi o te mea kua oti nei te kanga; kia tahuri mai ai a Ihowā i te muranga o tōna riri, ka whakaputa mai he atawhai ki a koe, kia atawhai ai hoki ia i a koe, kia whakanui ai i a koe, kia rite ai ki tāna i oati ai ki ōu mātua; 18 ina whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowā, o tōu Atua, ina pupuri i āna whakahau katoa, e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tēnei rā, kia mahi i te mea e tika ana ki te titiro a Ihowā, a tōu Atua.
