¹If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder,

¹切勿受引诱事奉别神

²and the sign or the wonder come to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let us go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let us serve them”;

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。’

³you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your God proves you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

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。

⁴You shall walk after Yahweh your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and cling to him.

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。

⁵That 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 put away the evil from the midst of you.

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。

⁶If 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, entice you secretly, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods,” which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;

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，

⁷of 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;

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，

⁸you shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him:

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；

⁹but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

⁹总要把他杀死，你要先向他动手，然后全民才动手打死他。

¹⁰You 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.

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。

¹¹All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more such wickedness as this is in the midst of you.

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。

¹²If you shall hear tell concerning one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, saying,

¹²“在耶和华你的　神赐给你居住的一座城中，如果你听说

¹³Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of you, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods,” which you have not known;

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；

¹⁴then you shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in the midst of you,

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，

¹⁵you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.

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。

¹⁶You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, and all its spoil every whit, to Yahweh your God: and it shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again.

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。

¹⁷Nothing 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;

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；

¹⁸when you shall listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.

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。”
