Deuteronomy 13

«إِذَا قَامَ فِي وَسَطِكَ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ حَالِمٌ حُلْمًا، وَأَعْطَاكَ آيَةً أَوْ أُعْجُوبَةً،

If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

وَلَوْ حَدَثَتِ الآيَةُ أَوِ الأُعْجُوبَةُ الَّتِي كَلَّمَكَ عَنْهَا قَائِلاً: لِنَذْهَبْ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا وَنَعْبُدْهَا،

And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

فَلاَ تَسْمَعْ لِكَلاَمِ ذلِكَ النَّبِيِّ أَوِ الْحَالِمِ ذلِكَ الْحُلْمَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكُمْ يَمْتَحِنُكُمْ لِكَيْ يَعْلَمَ هَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَنْفُسِكُمْ.

Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

وَرَاءَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكُمْ تَسِيرُونَ، وَإِيَّاهُ تَتَّقُونَ، وَوَصَايَاهُ تَحْفَظُونَ، وَصَوْتَهُ تَسْمَعُونَ، وَإِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ، وَبِهِ تَلْتَصِقُونَ.

Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

وَذلِكَ النَّبِيُّ أَوِ الْحَالِمُ ذلِكَ الْحُلْمَ يُقْتَلُ، لأَنَّهُ تَكَلَّمَ بِالزَّيْغِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكُمُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَفَدَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، لِكَيْ يُطَوِّحَكُمْ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكُمْ أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا فِيهَا. فَتَنْزِعُونَ الشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ.

And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

«وَإِذَا أَغْوَاكَ سِرًّا أَخُوكَ ابْنُ أُمِّكَ، أَوِ ابْنُكَ أَوِ ابْنَتُكَ أَوِ امْرَأَةُ حِضْنِكَ، أَوْ صَاحِبُكَ الَّذِي مِثْلُ نَفْسِكَ قَائِلاً: نَذْهَبُ وَنَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا أَنْتَ وَلاَ آبَاؤُكَ

If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

مِنْ آلِهَةِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَكَ، الْقَرِيبِينَ مِنْكَ أَوِ الْبَعِيدِينَ عَنْكَ، مِنْ أَقْصَاءِ الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَائِهَا،

Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

فَلاَ تَرْضَ مِنْهُ وَلاَ تَسْمَعْ لَهُ وَلاَ تُشْفِقْ عَيْنُكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلاَ تَرِقَّ لَهُ وَلاَ تَسْتُرْهُ،

Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

بَلْ قَتْلاً تَقْتُلُهُ. يَدُكَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ أَوَّلاً لِقَتْلِهِ، ثُمَّ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ أَخِيرًا.

But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

تَرْجُمُهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ، لأَنَّهُ الْتَمَسَ أَنْ يُطَوِّحَكَ عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

فَيَسْمَعُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَخَافُونَ، وَلاَ يَعُودُونَ يَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذَا الأَمْرِ الشِّرِّيرِ فِي وَسَطِكَ.

And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

«إِنْ سَمِعْتَ عَنْ إِحْدَى مُدُنِكَ الَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ لِتَسْكُنَ فِيهَا قَوْلاً:

If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,

قَدْ خَرَجَ أُنَاسٌ بَنُو لَئِيمٍ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ وَطَوَّحُوا سُكَّانَ مَدِينَتِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: نَذْهَبُ وَنَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا.

Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;

وَفَحَصْتَ وَفَتَّشْتَ وَسَأَلْتَ جَيِّدًا وَإِذَا الأَمْرُ صَحِيحٌ وَأَكِيدٌ، قَدْ عُمِلَ ذلِكَ الرِّجْسُ فِي وَسَطِكَ،

Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;

فَضَرْبًا تَضْرِبُ سُكَّانَ تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَتُحَرِّمُهَا بِكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا مَعَ بَهَائِمِهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ.

Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

تَجْمَعُ كُلَّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا إِلَى وَسَطِ سَاحَتِهَا، وَتُحْرِقُ بِالنَّارِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَكُلَّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا كَامِلَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ، فَتَكُونُ تَلاُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ لاَ تُبْنَى بَعْدُ.

And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.

وَلاَ يَلْتَصِقْ بِيَدِكَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ، لِكَيْ يَرْجعَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ، وَيُعْطِيَكَ رَحْمَةً. يَرْحَمُكَ وَيُكَثِّرُكَ كَمَا حَلَفَ لآبَائِكَ،

And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD 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;

إِذَا سَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ لِتَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ وَصَايَاهُ الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا الْيَوْمَ، لِتَعْمَلَ الْحَقَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ.

When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
