Deuteronomio 13

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Quod praecipio vobis, hoc custodite et facite, nec addas quidquam nec minuas.	1 "Every command that I enjoin on you, you shall be careful to observe, neither adding to it nor subtracting from it.
2 Si surrexerit in medio tui prophetes aut, qui somnium vidisse se dicat, et dederit tibi signum vel portentum,	2 "If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer who promises you a sign or wonder,
3 et evenerit, quod locutus est, et dixerit tibi: “Eamus et sequamur deos alienos, quos ignoras, et serviamus eis”,	3 urging you to follow other gods, whom you have not known, and to serve them: even though the sign or wonder he has foretold you comes to pass,
4 non audies verba prophetae illius aut somniatoris, quia tentat vos Dominus Deus vester, ut sciat utrum diligatis eum an non in toto corde et in tota anima vestra.	4 pay no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer; for the LORD, your God, is testing you to learn whether you really love him with all your heart and with all your soul.
5 Dominum Deum vestrum sequimini et ipsum timete et mandata illius custodite et audite vocem eius; ipsi servietis et ipsi adhaerebitis.	5 The LORD, your God, shall you follow, and him shall you fear; his commandment shall you observe, and his voice shall you heed, serving him and holding fast to him alone.
6 Propheta autem ille aut fictor somniorum interficietur, quia locutus est, ut vos averteret a Domino Deo vestro, qui eduxit vos de terra Aegypti et redemit te de domo servitutis; ut errare te faceret de via, quam tibi praecepit Dominus Deus tuus; et auferes malum de medio tui.	6 But that prophet or that dreamer shall be put to death, because, in order to lead you astray from the way which the LORD, your God, has directed you to take, he has preached apostasy from the LORD, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and ransomed you from that place of slavery. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.
7 Si tibi voluerit persuadere frater tuus filius matris tuae aut filius tuus vel filia sive uxor, quae est in sinu tuo, aut amicus, quem diligis ut animam tuam, clam dicens: “Eamus et serviamus diis alienis”, quos ignorasti tu et patres tui,	7 "If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or your intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known,
8 de diis cunctarum in circuitu gentium, quae iuxta vel procul sunt ab initio usque ad finem terrae,	8 gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other:
9 non acquiescas ei nec audias, neque parcat ei oculus tuus, ut miserearis et occultes eum,	9 do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him,
10 sed interficies. Sit primum manus tua super eum, et postea omnis populus mittat manum:	10 but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you.
11 lapidibus obrutus necabitur, quia voluit te abstrahere a Domino Deo tuo, qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis,	11 You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the LORD, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.
12 ut omnis Israel audiens timeat, et nequaquam ultra faciat quippiam huius rei simile in medio tui.	12 And all Israel, hearing of it, shall fear and never again do such evil as this in your midst.
13 Si audieris in una urbium tuarum, quas Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi ad habitandum, dicentes aliquos:	13 "If, in any of the cities which the LORD, your God, gives you to dwell in, you hear it said
14 “Egressi sunt filii Belial de medio tui et averterunt habitatores urbis suae atque dixerunt: Eamus et serviamus diis alienis”, quos ignorastis,	14 that certain scoundrels have sprung up among you and have led astray the inhabitants of their city to serve other gods whom you have not known,
15 quaere sollicite et, diligenter rei veritate perspecta, si inveneris certum esse, quod dicitur, et abominationem hanc opere perpetratam in medio tui,	15 you must inquire carefully into the matter and investigate it thoroughly. If you find that it is true and an established fact that this abomination has been committed in your midst,
16 percuties habitatores urbis illius in ore gladii et delebis eam ac omnia, quae in illa sunt.	16 you shall put the inhabitants of that city to the sword, dooming the city and all life that is in it, even its cattle, to the sword.
17 Quidquid etiam supellectilis fuerit, congregabis in medio platearum eius et cum ipsa civitate succendes, ita ut universa consumas Domino Deo tuo, et sit tumulus sempiternus: non aedificabitur amplius.	17 Having heaped up all its spoils in the middle of its square, you shall burn the city with all its spoils as a whole burnt offering to the LORD, your God. Let it be a heap of ruins forever, never to be rebuilt.
18 Et non adhaerebit de illo anathemate quidquam in manu tua, ut avertatur Dominus ab ira furoris sui et misereatur tui multiplicetque te, sicut iuravit patribus tuis,	18 You shall not retain anything that is doomed, that the blazing wrath of the LORD may die down and he may show you mercy and in his mercy for you may multiply you as he promised your fathers on oath;
19 quando audieris vocem Domini Dei tui custodiens omnia mandata eius, quae ego praecipio tibi hodie, ut facias quod placitum est in conspectu Domini Dei tui.	19 because you have heeded the voice of the LORD, your God, keeping all his commandments which I enjoin on you today, doing what is right in his sight.
