Deuteronomy 13 (WEBP)

[1] If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
[2] and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s serve them,”
[3] you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
[4] You shall walk after Yahweh your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him.
[5] That 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 remove the evil from among you.
[6] If 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, entices you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods”—which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
[7] of 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—
[8] you shall not consent to him nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him;
[9] but you shall surely kill him. Your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.
[10] You 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.
[11] All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.
[12] If you hear about one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, that
[13] certain wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods,” which you have not known,
[14] then you shall inquire, investigate, and ask diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination was done among you,
[15] you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
[16] You shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, with all of its plunder, to Yahweh your God. It shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.
[17] Nothing 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,
[18] when you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep all his commandments which I command you today, to do that which is right in Yahweh your God’s eyes.

[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] [13:2] εαν δε αναστη εν σοι προφητης η ενυπνιαζομενος ενυπνιον και δω σοι σημειον η τερας
[2] [13:3] και ελθη το σημειον η το τερας ο ελαλησεν προς σε λεγων πορευθωμεν και λατρευσωμεν θεοις ετεροις ους ουκ οιδατε
[3] [13:4] ουκ ακουσεσθε των λογων του προφητου εκεινου η του ενυπνιαζομενου το ενυπνιον εκεινο οτι πειραζει κυριος ο θεος υμας ειδεναι ει αγαπατε κυριον τον θεον υμων εξ ολης της καρδιας υμων και εξ ολης της ψυχης υμων
[4] [13:5] οπισω κυριου του θεου υμων πορευεσθε και αυτον φοβηθησεσθε και τας εντολας αυτου φυλαξεσθε και της φωνης αυτου ακουσεσθε και αυτω προστεθησεσθε
[5] [13:6] και ο προφητης εκεινος η ο το ενυπνιον ενυπνιαζομενος εκεινος αποθανειται ελαλησεν γαρ πλανησαι σε απο κυριου του θεου σου του εξαγαγοντος σε εκ γης αιγυπτου του λυτρωσαμενου σε εκ της δουλειας εξωσαι σε εκ της οδου ης ενετειλατο σοι κυριος ο θεος σου πορευεσθαι εν αυτη και αφανιεις τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων
[6] [13:7] εαν δε παρακαλεση σε ο αδελφος σου εκ πατρος σου η εκ μητρος σου η ο υιος σου η η θυγατηρ σου η η γυνη η εν κολπω σου η ο φιλος ο ισος της ψυχης σου λαθρα λεγων βαδισωμεν και λατρευσωμεν θεοις ετεροις ους ουκ ηδεις συ και οι πατερες σου
[7] [13:8] απο των θεων των εθνων των περικυκλω υμων των εγγιζοντων σοι η των μακραν απο σου απ ακρου της γης εως ακρου της γης
[8] [13:9] ου συνθελησεις αυτω και ουκ εισακουση αυτου και ου φεισεται ο οφθαλμος σου επ αυτω ουκ επιποθησεις επ αυτω ουδ ου μη σκεπασης αυτον
[9] [13:10] αναγγελλων αναγγελεις περι αυτου αι χειρες σου εσονται επ αυτον εν πρωτοις αποκτειναι αυτον και αι χειρες παντος του λαου επ εσχατω
[10] [13:11] και λιθοβολησουσιν αυτον εν λιθοις και αποθανειται οτι εζητησεν αποστησαι σε απο κυριου του θεου σου του εξαγαγοντος σε εκ γης αιγυπτου εξ οικου δουλειας
[11] [13:12] και πας ισραηλ ακουσας φοβηθησεται και ου προσθησουσιν ετι ποιησαι κατα το ρημα το πονηρον τουτο εν υμιν
[12] [13:13] εαν δε ακουσης εν μια των πολεων σου ων κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι κατοικειν σε εκει λεγοντων
[13] [13:14] εξηλθοσαν ανδρες παρανομοι εξ υμων και απεστησαν παντας τους κατοικουντας την πολιν αυτων λεγοντες πορευθωμεν και λατρευσωμεν θεοις ετεροις ους ουκ ηδειτε
[14] [13:15] και ερωτησεις και εραυνησεις σφοδρα και ιδου αληθης σαφως ο λογος γεγενηται το βδελυγμα τουτο εν υμιν
[15] [13:16] αναιρων ανελεις παντας τους κατοικουντας εν τη πολει εκεινη εν φονω μαχαιρας αναθεματι αναθεματιειτε αυτην και παντα τα εν αυτη
[16] [13:17] και παντα τα σκυλα αυτης συναξεις εις τας διοδους αυτης και εμπρησεις την πολιν εν πυρι και παντα τα σκυλα αυτης πανδημει εναντιον κυριου του θεου σου και εσται αοικητος εις τον αιωνα ουκ ανοικοδομηθησεται ετι
[17] [13:18] ου προσκολληθησεται εν τη χειρι σου ουδεν απο του αναθεματος ινα αποστραφη κυριος απο θυμου της οργης αυτου και δωσει σοι ελεος και ελεησει σε και πληθυνει σε ον τροπον ωμοσεν κυριος τοις πατρασιν σου
[18] [13:19] εαν ακουσης της φωνης κυριου του θεου σου φυλασσειν πασας τας εντολας αυτου οσας εγω εντελλομαι σοι σημερον ποιειν το καλον και το αρεστον εναντιον κυριου του θεου σου
