Deuteronomio 13
1Si se levantare en medio de ti un profeta, o un soñador de sueños, que te anuncia una señal o un prodigio, “If there will have arisen in your midst a prophet, or someone who claims that he had seen a dream, and if he will have predicted sign and portent,2aunque se cumpliere la señal o prodigio de que te habló, diciendo: ‘Vamos tras otros dioses, que tú no conoces, y sirvámoslos’, and if what he has spoken happens, and he says to you, ‘Let us go and follow strange gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’3no escucharás las palabras de ese profeta, o de ese soñador de sueños porque os prueba Yahvé, vuestro Dios, para saber si amáis a Yahvé, vuestro Dios, con todo vuestro corazón y con toda vuestra alma. you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the Lord your God is testing you, so that it may become clear whether or not you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.4Id en pos de Yahvé, vuestro Dios; a Él habéis de temer; guardad sus mandamientos; escuchad su voz, servidle y allegaos a Él. Follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and listen to his voice. Him shall you serve, and to him shall you cling.5Ese profeta, o ese soñador de sueños, será muerto, por haber predicado rebelión contra Yahvé, vuestro Dios, que os sacó de Egipto y te rescató de la casa de la servidumbre, para apartarte del camino por donde Yahvé, tu Dios, te ha mandado que andes. Así extirparás el mal de en medio de ti. But that prophet or forger of dreams shall be put to death. For he has spoken so as to turn you away from the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt and who redeemed you from the house of servitude, and so as to cause you to wander from the way that the Lord your God has entrusted to you. And so shall you remove the evil from your midst.6Si tu hermano, hijo de tu madre, o tu hijo, o tu hija, o la mujer de tu corazón, o tu amigo que es como tu propia alma, te incitare en secreto, diciendo: ‘Vamos y sirvamos a otros dioses’, desconocidos de ti y de tus padres, If your brother, the son of your mother, or your own son or daughter, or your wife who is in your bosom, or your friend, whom you love like your own soul, were willing to persuade you secretly, saying: ‘Let us go, and serve foreign gods,’ which neither you nor your fathers have known,7dioses de los pueblos que te rodean, vecinos o lejanos, de un cabo de la tierra al otro, gods from any of the surrounding nations, whether these are near or far away, from the beginning even to the end of the earth,8no condesciendas con él ni le escuches, no le perdone tu ojo, ni le tengas compasión, ni le encubras; you should neither agree with him, nor listen to him. And your eye should not spare him so that you take pity on him and conceal him.9al contrario, debes matarle irremisiblemente; tu mano sea la primera que se alce contra él para matarle, y después haga lo mismo la mano de todo el pueblo. Instead, you shall put him to death promptly. Let your hand be upon him first, and after that, let the hands of all the people be sent forth.10Le apedrearás hasta que muera, porque procuraba apartarte de Yahvé, tu Dios, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de la servidumbre. He shall be killed by being overwhelmed with stones. For he was willing to draw you away from the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.11Y todo Israel lo oirá; y temerán y no volverán a hacer semejante maldad en medio de ti. So may all of Israel, upon hearing this, be afraid, so that nothing like this will ever be done again.12Si de una de las ciudades que Yahvé, tu Dios, te da para habitar allí, te llega esta noticia: If, in one of your cities which the Lord your God will give to you as a habitation, you hear someone say:13Hijos de Belial han salido de en medio de ti y han seducido a los vecinos de su ciudad, diciendo: ‘Vamos y sirvamos a otros dioses’ —que no conocéis vosotros— ‘The sons of Belial have departed from your midst, and they have persuaded the inhabitants of their city, and they have said: “Let us go, and serve strange gods,” ’ which you have not known:14indagarás, examinarás y preguntarás diligentemente, y si resulta ser cierto y seguro que esta abominación ha sido cometida en medio de ti, inquire carefully and diligently, seeking the truth of the matter. And if you find that what was said is certain, and that this abomination is a work which has been perpetrated,15no tardarás en pasar a los habitantes de aquella ciudad a filo de espada, detrayéndola completamente con todo lo que hay en ella. También las bestias pasarás a cuchillo. you shall promptly strike down the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword. And you shall destroy it, along with all the things that are in it, even the flocks.16Luego juntarás todo su botín en medio de su plaza, y quemarás totalmente la ciudad juntamente con todo su botín, para Yahvé, tu Dios, y quedará hecho un montón de ruinas para siempre; jamás será reedificada. Then all the household goods which are there, you shall gather together in the midst of its streets, and you shall set fire to these, along with the city itself, so that you may consume everything for the Lord your God, and so that it may be an everlasting tomb. It shall no longer be built up.17Que no se pegue a tu mano nada del anatema, para que Yahvé deponga el ardor de su ira y te favorezca con mercedes, y se compadezca de ti, y te multiplique, como se lo juró a tus padres, And there shall remain nothing of that anathema in your hand, so that the Lord may turn from the wrath of his fury, and may take pity on you, and may multiply you, just as he swore to your fathers,18con tal que escuches la voz de Yahvé, tu Dios, guardando todos sus mandamientos que hoy te ordeno, y haciendo lo que es recto a los ojos de Yahvé, tu Dios. when you will heed the voice of the Lord your God, keeping all his precepts, which I am entrusting to you this day, so that you may do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord your God.”
