9 When thou reachest the land which the Lord thy God means to give thee, take good care not to imitate the abominable ways of the men who dwell there. 10 None must be found among you to consecrate son or daughter by making them pass through the fire, to consult soothsayers, or keep watch for dream-revelations and omens; there must be no wizard, 11 or enchanter, none who consults familiar spirits and divinations, and would receive warnings from the dead. 12 All such things are hateful to the Lord; it is to punish them for such evil doings that he means to destroy these nations at thy onslaught. 13 Thine to stand before the Lord thy God perfect and unreproved; 14 let them listen to soothsayer and diviner, these other nations thou wilt dispossess; not such is the schooling thou hast received from the Lord thy God. 15 No, the Lord thy God will raise up for thee a prophet like myself, of thy own race, a brother of thy own; it is to him thou must listen.[3] 16 Was it not thy own plea, that day when all were publicly assembled at mount Horeb, that thou mightest hear the voice of the Lord thy God no longer, have sight of that raging fire no longer, lest it should be thy death? 17 And the Lord told me, All that they have said is well said. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like thyself, one of their own race, entrusting my own message to his lips, so that he may instruct them at my bidding. 19 Whoever refuses obedience to these commands which he gives in my name, shall feel my vengeance. 20 If anyone is so presumptuous as to prophesy in my name when I have given him no message to deliver, or prophesy in the name of alien gods, his life must pay for it. |
9 Quando ingressus fueris terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, cave ne imitari velis abominationes illarum gentium. 10 Nec inveniatur in te qui lustret filium suum, aut filiam, ducens per ignem: aut qui ariolos sciscitetur, et observet somnia atque auguria, nec sit maleficus, 11 nec incantator, nec qui pythones consulat, nec divinos, aut quærat a mortuis veritatem. 12 Omnia enim hæc abominatur Dominus, et propter istiusmodi scelera delebit eos in introitu tuo. 13 Perfectus eris, et absque macula cum Domino Deo tuo. 14 Gentes istæ, quarum possidebis terram, augures et divinos audiunt: tu autem a Domino Deo tuo aliter institutus es. 15 Prophetam de gente tua et de fratribus tuis, sicut me, suscitabit tibi Dominus Deus tuus: ipsum audies, 16 ut petisti a Domino Deo tuo in Horeb, quando concio congregata est, atque dixisti: Ultra non audiam vocem Domini Dei mei, et ignem hunc maximum amplius non videbo, ne moriar. 17 Et ait Dominus mihi: Bene omnia sunt locuti. 18 Prophetam suscitabo eis de medio fratrum suorum similem tui: et ponam verba mea in ore ejus, loqueturque ad eos omnia quæ præcepero illi. 19 Qui autem verba ejus, quæ loquetur in nomine meo, audire noluerit, ego ultor existam. 20 Propheta autem qui arrogantia depravatus voluerit loqui in nomine meo, quæ ego non præcepi illi ut diceret, aut ex nomine alienorum deorum, interficietur. |
