1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2 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; 3 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. 4 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. 5 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.

6 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; 7 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; 8 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: 9 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. 10 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. 11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

12 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, 13 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known; 14 Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask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; 15 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. 16 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. 17 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; 18 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.

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。"
