1. "A man who tells what is going to happen or a dreamer of dreams may come among you. He may give you something special to see or do a powerful work.
|
1. If H3588 there arise H6965 among H7130 you a prophet H5030 , or H176 a dreamer H2492 of dreams H2472 , and giveth H5414 H413 thee a sign H226 or H176 a wonder H4159 ,
|
|
2. And what he tells you will happen might come true. But if he says to you, 'Let us follow other gods (whom you have not known) and let us worship them,'
|
2. And the sign H226 or the wonder H4159 come to pass H935 , whereof H834 he spoke H1696 unto H413 thee, saying H559 , Let us go H1980 after H310 other H312 gods H430 , which H834 thou hast not H3808 known H3045 , and let us serve H5647 them;
|
|
3. do not listen to the words of that man who tells you what will happen or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is putting you to the test to see if you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
|
3. Thou shalt not H3808 hearken H8085 unto H413 the words H1697 of that H1931 prophet H5030 , or H176 that H1931 dreamer H2492 of dreams H2472 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 your God H430 proveth H5254 you , to know H3045 whether H3426 ye love H157 H853 the LORD H3068 your God H430 with all H3605 your heart H3824 and with all H3605 your soul H5315 .
|
|
4. Follow the Lord your God and fear Him. Keep His Laws, and listen to His voice. Work for Him, and hold on to Him.
|
4. Ye shall walk H1980 after H310 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , and fear H3372 him , and keep H8104 his commandments H4687 , and obey H8085 his voice H6963 , and ye shall serve H5647 him , and cleave H1692 unto him.
|
|
5. But that man who tells what is going to happen or that dreamer of dreams must be put to death, because he has talked to you about turning away from the Lord your God Who brought you from the land of Egypt and set you free from the land where you were servants. That man tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God told you to walk. You must take the sinful away from you.
|
5. And that H1931 prophet H5030 , or H176 that H1931 dreamer H2492 of dreams H2472 , shall be put to death H4191 ; because H3588 he hath spoken H1696 to turn you away H5627 from H5921 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , which brought you out H3318 H853 of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , and redeemed H6299 you out of the house H4480 H1004 of bondage H5650 , to thrust H5080 thee out of H4480 the way H1870 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 commanded H6680 thee to walk H1980 in . So shalt thou put the evil away H1197 H7451 from the midst H4480 H7130 of thee.
|
|
6. "Your brother, your mother's son, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your friend who is as your own soul, might tempt you in secret. They might say, 'Let us go and worship other gods' (whom you and your fathers have not known.
|
6. If H3588 thy brother H251 , the son H121 of thy mother H517 , or H176 thy son H1121 , or H176 thy daughter H1323 , or H176 the wife H802 of thy bosom H2436 , or H176 thy friend H7453 , which H834 is as thine own soul H5315 , entice H5496 thee secretly H5643 , saying H559 , Let us go H1980 and serve H5647 other H312 gods H430 , which H834 thou hast not H3808 known H3045 , thou H859 , nor thy fathers H1 ;
|
|
7. They might be gods of the nations who are around you, near you, or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other).
|
7. Namely , of the gods H4480 H430 of the people H5971 which H834 are round about H5439 you, nigh H7138 unto H413 thee, or H176 far off H7350 from H4480 thee , from the one end H4480 H7097 of the earth H776 even unto H5704 the other end H7097 of the earth H776 ;
|
|
8. Do not agree with him or listen to him. Do not look on him with pity. And do not show him loving-kindness or hide him.
|
8. Thou shalt not H3808 consent H14 unto him, nor H3808 hearken H8085 unto H413 him; neither H3808 shall thine eye H5869 pity H2347 H5921 him, neither H3808 shalt thou spare H2550 , neither H3808 shalt thou conceal H3680 H5921 him:
|
|
9. You must kill him. Your hand should be first against him to put him to death, and then the hand of all the people.
|
9. But H3588 thou shalt surely kill H2026 H2026 him ; thine hand H3027 shall be H1961 first H7223 upon him to put him to death H4191 , and afterwards H314 the hand H3027 of all H3605 the people H5971 .
|
|
10. Kill him with stones, because he has tried to turn you away from the Lord your God Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the land where you were servants.
|
10. And thou shalt stone H5619 him with stones H68 , that he die H4191 ; because H3588 he hath sought H1245 to thrust thee away H5080 from H4480 H5921 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , which brought thee out H3318 of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , from the house H4480 H1004 of bondage H5650 .
|
|
11. Then all Israel will hear and be afraid. No one will do such a sinful thing among you again.
|
11. And all H3605 Israel H3478 shall hear H8085 , and fear H3372 , and shall do H6213 no H3808 more H3254 any H1697 such wickedness H7451 as this H2088 is among H7130 you.
|
|
12. "You might hear that in one of the cities the Lord your God has given you to live in
|
12. If H3588 thou shalt hear H8085 say in one H259 of thy cities H5892 , which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath given H5414 thee to dwell H3427 there H8033 , saying H559 ,
|
|
13. that some men of no worth have gone out from among you to tempt those who live in their city. They might say, 'Let us go and worship other gods,' (whom you have not known).
|
13. Certain men H376 , the children H1121 of Belial H1100 , are gone out H3318 from among H4480 H7130 you , and have withdrawn H5080 H853 the inhabitants H3427 of their city H5892 , saying H559 , Let us go H1980 and serve H5647 other H312 gods H430 , which H834 ye have not H3808 known H3045 ;
|
|
14. Then you should ask around and try to find out if this is true. If it is true that this sinful thing has been done among you,
|
14. Then shalt thou inquire H1875 , and make search H2713 , and ask H7592 diligently H3190 ; and, behold H2009 , if it be truth H571 , and the thing H1697 certain H3559 , that such H2063 abomination H8441 is wrought H6213 among H7130 you;
|
|
15. you must be sure to go against those of that city with the sword. Destroy all of it, all that is in it, and its cattle, with the sword.
|
15. Thou shalt surely smite H5221 H5221 H853 the inhabitants H3427 of that H1931 city H5892 with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 , destroying it utterly H2763 H853 , and all H3605 that H834 is therein , and the cattle H929 thereof , with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 .
|
|
16. Then gather all that is left into the center of the city. Burn the city and all that is left in it with fire as a whole burnt gift to the Lord your God. It will be destroyed forever. It will never be built again.
|
16. And thou shalt gather H6908 all H3605 the spoil H7998 of it into H413 the midst H8432 of the street H7339 thereof , and shalt burn H8313 with fire H784 H853 the city H5892 , and all H3605 the spoil H7998 thereof every whit H3632 , for the LORD H3068 thy God H430 : and it shall be H1961 a heap H8510 forever H5769 ; it shall not H3808 be built H1129 again H5750 .
|
|
17. Let nothing of the things to be destroyed be kept in your own hand so the Lord may turn from His burning anger and show lovingkindness to you. He will show you loving-pity and make you a nation of many, just as He promised your fathers.
|
17. And there shall cleave H1692 naught H3808 H3972 of H4480 the cursed thing H2764 to thine hand H3027 : that H4616 the LORD H3068 may turn H7725 from the fierceness H4480 H2740 of his anger H639 , and show H5414 thee mercy H7356 , and have compassion H7355 upon thee , and multiply H7235 thee, as H834 he hath sworn H7650 unto thy fathers H1 ;
|
|
18. But you must listen to the voice of the Lord your God. Obey all His Laws which I am telling you today. Do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
|
18. When H3588 thou shalt hearken H8085 to the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , to keep H8104 H853 all H3605 his commandments H4687 which H834 I H595 command H6680 thee this day H3117 , to do H6213 that which is right H3477 in the eyes H5869 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 .
