Deuteronomio 13
La Biblia de las Américas
Advertencia contra falsos profetas e idólatras
13 [a]Si se levanta en medio de ti un profeta o soñador de sueños, y te anuncia[b] una señal o un prodigio(A), 2 y la señal o el prodigio se cumple, acerca del cual él te había hablado, diciendo: «Vamos en pos de otros dioses (a los cuales no has conocido) y sirvámosles(B)», 3 no darás oído a las palabras de ese profeta o de ese soñador de sueños; porque el Señor tu Dios te está probando(C) para ver si amas al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma(D). 4 En pos del Señor vuestro Dios andaréis y a Él temeréis; guardaréis sus mandamientos(E), escucharéis su voz, le serviréis y a Él os uniréis(F). 5 Pero a ese profeta o a ese soñador de sueños se le dará muerte(G), por cuanto ha aconsejado[c] rebelión contra el Señor tu[d] Dios que te[e] sacó de la tierra de Egipto y te redimió de casa de servidumbre[f], para apartarte del camino en el cual el Señor tu Dios te mandó andar(H). Así quitarás el mal de en medio de ti(I).
6 Si tu hermano, el hijo de tu madre, o tu hijo, o tu hija, o la mujer que amas[g], o tu amigo entrañable[h], te incita en secreto(J), diciendo: «Vamos y sirvamos a otros dioses(K)» (a quienes ni tú ni tus padres habéis conocido, 7 de los dioses de los pueblos que te rodean, cerca o lejos de ti, de un término de la tierra al otro), 8 no cederás ni le escucharás(L); y tu ojo no tendrá piedad de él, tampoco lo perdonarás ni lo encubrirás(M), 9 sino que ciertamente lo matarás(N); tu mano será la primera contra él para matarlo, y después la mano de todo el pueblo(O). 10 Lo apedrearás hasta la muerte[i] porque él trató de apartarte del Señor tu Dios que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de servidumbre[j](P). 11 Entonces todo Israel oirá y temerá, y nunca volverá a hacer tal maldad en medio de ti(Q).
12 Si oyes decir que en alguna de las ciudades que el Señor tu Dios te da para habitar, 13 han salido hombres indignos[k] de en medio de ti y han seducido a los habitantes de su ciudad, diciendo: «Vamos y sirvamos a otros dioses(R)» (a quienes no has conocido), 14 entonces inquirirás, buscarás y preguntarás con diligencia. Y si es verdad y se comprueba que se ha hecho tal abominación en medio de ti, 15 irremisiblemente herirás a filo de espada a los habitantes de esa ciudad, destruyéndola por completo[l] con todo lo que hay en ella, y también su ganado a filo de espada(S). 16 Entonces amontonarás todo su botín en medio de su plaza, y prenderás fuego a la ciudad con todo su botín(T), todo ello como ofrenda encendida al Señor tu Dios; y será montón de ruinas para siempre(U). Nunca será reconstruida. 17 Y nada de lo dedicado al anatema quedará en tu mano, para que el Señor se aparte del ardor de su ira(V) y sea misericordioso contigo, tenga compasión de ti(W) y te multiplique(X), tal como Él juró a tus padres(Y), 18 porque escuchas la voz del Señor tu Dios, guardando todos sus mandamientos que yo te ordeno hoy, haciendo lo que es justo ante los ojos del Señor tu Dios.

Deuteronomy 13
King James Version
13 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.
Deuteronomy 13
English Standard Version
13 “If a prophet or (A)a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and (B)the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God (C)is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 You shall (D)walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and (E)hold fast to him. 5 But (F)that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, to make you leave the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. (G)So you shall purge the evil[a] from your midst.
6 (H)“If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or (I)the wife you embrace[b] or your friend (J)who is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ (K)which neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 some (L)of the gods of the peoples who are around you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other, 8 you shall (M)not yield to him or listen to him, nor (N)shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him. 9 But you shall kill him. (O)Your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. 10 (P)You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 11 And (Q)all Israel shall hear and fear and never again do any such wickedness as this among you.
12 “If you hear in one of your cities, which the Lord your God is giving you to dwell there, 13 that certain (R)worthless fellows have gone out among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which you have not known, 14 then you shall inquire and make search and ask (S)diligently. And behold, if it be true and certain that such an abomination has been done among you, 15 you shall surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword, devoting it to destruction,[c] all who are in it and its cattle, with the edge of the sword. 16 You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its open square and (T)burn the city and all its spoil with fire, as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. It shall be a (U)heap forever. It shall not be built again. 17 (V)None of the devoted things shall stick to your hand, (W)that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy and have compassion on you and multiply you, (X)as he swore to your fathers, 18 if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, (Y)keeping all his commandments that I am commanding you today, and doing what is right in the sight of the Lord your God.
