Deuteronomy

The fifth book of Moses, called Deuteronomy, chapter 13, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 13 Vulgate

   1 Quod praecipio vobis, hoc custodite et facite, nec addas quidquam nec minuas.
   2 Si surrexerit in medio tui prophetes aut, qui somnium vidisse se dicat, et dederit tibi signum vel portentum,
   3 et evenerit, quod locutus est, et dixerit tibi: "Eamus et sequamur deos alienos, quos ignoras, et serviamus eis"
   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.
   5 Dominum Deum vestrum sequimini et ipsum timete et mandata illius custodite et audite vocem eius; ipsi servietis et ipsi adhaerebitis.
   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.
   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,
   8 de diis cunctarum in circuitu gentium, quae iuxta vel procul sunt ab initio usque ad finem terrae,
   9 non acquiescas ei nec audias, neque parcat ei oculus tuus, ut miserearis et occultes eum,
   10 sed interficies. Sit primum manus tua super eum, et postea omnis populus mittat manum:
   11 lapidibus obrutus necabitur, quia voluit te abstrahere a Domino Deo tuo, qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis,
   12 ut omnis Israel audiens timeat, et nequaquam ultra faciat quippiam huius rei simile in medio tui.
   13 Si audieris in una urbium tuarum, quas Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi ad habitandum, dicentes aliquos:
   14 "Egressi sunt filii Belial de medio tui et averterunt habitatores urbis suae atque dixerunt: Eamus et serviamus diis alienis" quos ignorastis,
   15 quaere sollicite et, diligenter rei veritate perspecta, si inveneris certum esse, quod dicitur, et abominationem hanc opere perpetratam in medio tui,
   16 percuties habitatores urbis illius in ore gladii et delebis eam ac omnia, quae in illa sunt.
   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.
   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,
   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.

King James Version

   1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
   2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
   3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
   4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
   5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
   6 ¶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
   7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
   8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
   9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
   10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
   11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
   12 ¶ If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
   13 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
   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.
