יָת כָּל פִּתְגָּמָא דִּי אֲנָא מְפַקֵּד יָתְכוֹן יָתֵיהּ תִּטְּרוּן לְמֶעְבָּד לָא תוֹסְפוּן עֲלוֹהִי וְלָא תִמְנְעוּן מִנֵּיהּ:
Everything that I am commanding you—be careful to fulfill it; do not add to it and do not subtract from it.
אֲרֵי יְקוּם בֵּינָךְ נְבִיָּא אוֹ חָלֵם חֶלְמָא וְיִתֶּן לָךְ אָת אוֹ מוֹפְתָא:
If a prophet arises among you or a dreamer of a dream, and he gives you an omen or a miracle,
וְיֵיתֵי אָתָא וּמוֹפְתָא דִּי מַלִּיל עִמָּךְ לְמֵימָר נְהַךְ בָּתַר טַעֲוַת עַמְמַיָּא דִּי לָא יְדַעְתָּנוּן וְנִפְלְחִנּוּן:
And the omen or the miracle happens—the one he told you about—saying, ‘‘Let us go after other gods [idols of other nations], that you do not know, and let us serve them.’’
לָא תְקַבֵּל לְפִתְגָּמֵי נְבִיָּא הַהוּא אוֹ לְחָלֵם חֶלְמָא הַהוּא אֲרֵי מְנַסֵּי יְיָ אֱלָהֲכוֹן יָתְכוֹן לְמִדַּע הַאִיתֵיכוֹן רָחֲמִין יָת יְיָ אֱלָהֲכוֹן בְּכָל לִבְּכוֹן וּבְכָל נַפְשְׁכוֹן:
Do not listen to [accept] the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of a dream, because Adonoy, your God, is testing you to know whether you love Adonoy, your God, wholeheartedly and with your entire beings.
בָּתַר דַּחַלְתָּא דַיְיָ אֱלָהֲכוֹן תְּהָכוּן וְיָתֵיהּ תִּדְחֲלוּן וְיָת פִּקּוֹדוֹהִי תִטְּרוּן וּלְמֵימְרֵיהּ תְּקַבְּלוּן וְקָדָמוֹהִי תִפְלְחוּן וּבְדַחַלְתֵּיהּ תִּתְקָרְבוּן:
After [the fear of] Adonoy, your God, are you to go, fear Him, keep His commandments, heed His voice [accept His word], serve [before] Him, and cleave to [the fear of] Him.
וּנְבִיָּא הַהוּא אוֹ חָלֵם חֶלְמָא הַהוּא יִתְקְטֵל אֲרֵי מַלִּיל סַטְיָא עַל יְיָ אֱלָהֲכוֹן דִּי אַפֵּיק יָתְכוֹן מֵאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם וּדְפָרְקָךְ מִבֵּית עַבְדוּתָא לְאַטְעֲיוּתָךְ מִן אָרְחָא דִּי פַקְּדָךְ יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לִמְהַךְ בַּהּ וּתְפַלֵּי עָבֵד דְּבִישׁ מִבֵּינָךְ:
And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream is to be executed, for he has uttered a fabrication about Adonoy, your God—Who took you out of the land of Egypt, and Who redeemed you from the house of bondage—to mislead you from the way that Adonoy, your God, commanded you to go upon, and you will eliminate the evil [doers] from within you.
אֲרֵי יְמַלְּכִנָּךְ אֲחוּךְ בַּר אִמָּךְ אוֹ בְרָךְ אוֹ בְרַתָּךְ אוֹ אִתַּת קְיָמָךְ אוֹ חַבְרָךְ דִּי כְנַפְשָׁךְ בְּסִתְרָא לְמֵימָר נְהַךְ וְנִפְלַח לְטַעֲוַת עַמְמַיָּא דִּי לָא יְדַעַתְּ אַתְּ וַאֲבָהָתָךְ:
If one shall incite you, your brother—son of your mother—or your son or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom [covenant], or your neighbor who is your soul mate, clandestinely, saying, ‘‘Let us go and serve other gods [idols of other nations]’’ whom you never knew—neither you nor your forefathers.
מִטַּעֲוַת עַמְמַיָּא דִּי בְסַחֲרָנֵיכוֹן דִּקְרִיבִין לָךְ אוֹ דִּרְחִיקִין מִנָּךְ מִסְּיָפֵי אַרְעָא וְעַד סְיָפֵי אַרְעָא:
From the gods [idols] of the nations that surround you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the earth,
לָא תֵיבֵי לֵיהּ וְלָא תְקַבֵּל מִנֵּיהּ וְלָא תְחוּס עֵינָךְ עֲלוֹהִי וְלָא תְרַחַם וְלָא תְכַסֵּי עֲלוֹהִי:
Do not be favorbly inclined towards him, and do not listen to [accept from] him; and do not view him compassionately, and do not take pity and do not cover for him.
אֲרֵי מִקְטַל תִּקְטְלִנֵּיהּ יְדָךְ תְּהֵי בֵיהּ בְּקַדְמֵיתָא לְמִקְטְלֵיהּ וִידָא דְכָל עַמָּא בְּבַתְרֵיתָא:
For you must surely execute him. Let your hand strike him first to execute him, and the hand of the entire people afterward.
וְתִרְגְּמִנֵּיהּ בְּאַבְנַיָּא וִימוּת אֲרֵי בָעָא לְאַטְעֲיוּתָךְ מִדַּחַלְתָּא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ דִּי אַפְּקָךְ מֵאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם מִבֵּית עַבְדוּתָא:
And you are to stone him with stones so that he dies, for he sought to mislead you from [the fear of] Adonoy, your God, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
וְכָל יִשְׂרָאֵל יִשְׁמְעוּן וְיִדְחֲלוּן וְלָא יוֹסְפוּן לְמֶעְבַּד כְּפִתְגָּמָא בִישָׁא הָדֵין בֵּינָךְ:
And all of Yisroel will hear and will fear, and they will not proceed to do so evil a thing as this, within you.
אֲרֵי תִשְׁמַע בְּחַד מִקִּרְוָיךְ דִּי יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ יָהֵב לָךְ לְמִתַּב תַּמָּן לְמֵימָר:
If you hear in one of your cities that Adonoy, your God, is giving you in which to settle, the following:
נְפָקוּ גֻּבְרִין בְּנֵי רִשְׁעָא מִבֵּינָךְ וְאַטְעָיוּ יָת יָתְבֵי קַרְתְּהוֹן לְמֵימָר נְהַךְ וְנִפְלַח לְטַעֲוַת עַמְמַיָּא דִּי לָא יְדַעְתּוּן:
‘‘Men have gone out—unscrupulous [evil]—from among you, and they have misled the inhabitants of their city by saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods [idols of other nations]’ that you do not know.’’
וְתִתְבַּע וְתִבְדּוֹק וְתִשְׁאַל יָאוּת וְהָא קֻשְׁטָא כֵּוָן פִּתְגָּמָא אִתְעֲבִידָא תּוֹעֶבְתָּא הָדָא בֵּינָךְ:
You must investigate, inquire, and interrogate thoroughly; and if in fact the report is true and accurate—this abomination was committed among you.
מִמְחָא תִמְחֵי יָת יָתְבֵי קַרְתָּא הַהִיא לְפִתְגַּם דְּחָרֶב גַּמַּר יָתַהּ וְיָת כָּל דִּי בַהּ וְיָת בְּעִירַהּ לְפִתְגַּם דְּחָרֶב:
You must surely strike down the inhabitants of that city by the sword; annihilate it and everything that is in it, and its livestock by the sword.
וְיָת כָּל עֲדָאַהּ תִּכְנוֹשׁ לְגוֹ פְתָיַּהּ וְתוֹקֵד בְּנוּרָא יָת קַרְתָּא וְיָת כָּל עֲדָאַהּ גְּמִיר קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ וּתְהֵי תֵּל חָרִיב לְעָלָם לָא תִתְבְּנֵי עוֹד:
And all its booty are you to collect within its plaza, and you are to burn in fire the city and all its booty—totally—for [before] Adonoy, your God; and it will be a ruin forever, it is never to be rebuilt.
וְלָא יִדְבַּק בִּידָךְ מִדַּעַם מִן חֶרְמָא בְּדִיל דִּיתוּב יְיָ מִתְּקוֹף רוּגְזֵיהּ וְיֵהַב לָךְ רַחֲמִין וִירַחַם עֲלָךְ וְיַסְגִּנָּךְ כְּמָא דִי קַיִּים לַאֲבָהָתָךְ:
Let nothing of the cherem cling to your hand; so that Adonoy withdraws His raising fury and grant you mercy, and He will be merciful toward you and multiply you as He swore to your forefathers
אֲרֵי תְקַבֵּל לְמֵימְרָא דַּיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לְמִטַּר יָת כָּל פִּקּוֹדוֹהִי דִּי אֲנָא מְפַקְּדָךְ יוֹמָא דֵין לְמֶעְבַּד דְּכָשָׁר קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ:
When you heed the voice [accept the word] of Adonoy, your God, to guard all His commandments that I am commanding you today, to do the upright [proper before] in the eyes of Adonoy, your God.
