¹切勿受引诱事奉别神

¹`When there ariseth in your midst a prophet, or a dreamer of a dream, and he hath given unto thee a sign or wonder,

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。’

²and the sign and the wonder hath come which he hath spoken of unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods (which thou hast not known), and serve them,

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。

³thou dost not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of the dream, for Jehovah your God is trying you, to know whether ye are loving Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;

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。

⁴after Jehovah your God ye walk, and Him ye fear, and His commands ye keep, and to His voice ye hearken, and Him ye serve, and to Him ye cleave.

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。

⁵`And that prophet, or that dreamer of the dream, is put to death, for he hath spoken apostacy against Jehovah your God (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and hath ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of the way in which Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to walk, and thou hast put away the evil thing from thy midst.

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，

⁶`When thy brother — son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend who [is] as thine own soul — doth move thee, in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods — (which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers,

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，

⁷of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you, who are near unto thee, or who are far off from thee, from the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth) —

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；

⁸thou dost not consent to him, nor hearken unto him, nor doth thine eye have pity on him, nor dost thou spare, nor dost thou cover him over.

⁹总要把他杀死，你要先向他动手，然后全民才动手打死他。

⁹`But thou dost surely kill him; thy hand is on him, in the first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last;

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。

¹⁰and thou hast stoned him with stones, and he hath died, for he hath sought to drive thee away from Jehovah thy God, who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

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。

¹¹and all Israel do hear and fear, and add not to do like this evil thing in thy midst.

¹²“在耶和华你的　神赐给你居住的一座城中，如果你听说

¹²`When thou hearest, in one of thy cities which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to dwell there, [one] saying,

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；

¹³Men, sons of worthlessness, have gone out of thy midst, and they force away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known —

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，

¹⁴and thou hast enquired, and searched, and asked diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is established; this abomination hath been done in thy midst:

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。

¹⁵`Thou dost surely smite the inhabitants of that city by the mouth of the sword; devoting it, and all that [is] in it, even its cattle, by the mouth of the sword;

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。

¹⁶and all its spoil thou dost gather unto the midst of its broad place, and hast burned with fire the city and all its spoil completely, before Jehovah thy God, and it hath been a heap age-during, it is not built any more;

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；

¹⁷and there doth not cleave to thy hand any of the devoted thing, so that Jehovah doth turn back from the fierceness of His anger, and hath given to thee mercies, and loved thee, and multiplied thee, as He hath sworn to thy fathers,

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。”

¹⁸when thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commands which I am commanding thee to-day, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
