Deuteronomy 13 Introduction
繁體中文
Originale inglese
The admonition of the closing verse of the last chapter introduces a new series of warnings intended to serve as a further safeguard against violation of these duties. The true modes and forms of worship have been laid down: the next step is to legislate against the authors and abettors of false ones.

Deuteronomy 13:1
繁體中文
先知或是作夢的——比較 Numbers 12:6。「先知」是藉異象或直接的口傳領受啟示（Numbers 24:16; 2 Samuel 7:4; 2 Corinthians 12:2）；「作夢的」則以夢為媒介領受啟示（1 Kings 3:5; Matthew 2:13）。
Originale inglese
A prophet, or a dreamer of dreams - Compare Numbers 12:6. The "prophet" received his revelations by vision or direct oral communication Numbers 24:16; 2 Samuel 7:4; 2 Corinthians 12:2; "the dreamer of dreams" through the medium of a dream 1 Kings 3:5; Matthew 2:13.

Deuteronomy 13:2
繁體中文
耶和華曾說：「除了我以外，你不可有別的神。」這裡假設有一個先知，引誘百姓「去隨從別神」。對這樣的人，無論在任何情況下都不可給予信任，即使他顯出神蹟奇事來證實他的教訓，也是如此。信仰與行為的常規準則已經一勞永逸地定下——那正是百姓要牢牢持守的。提出另一準則的先知，只可能是騙子。
另一種情形見 Deuteronomy 18:18 及以下。
Originale inglese
The Lord had said, "Thou shalt have none other gods but Me." A prophet is here supposed who invites the people "to go after other gods." To such a one no credit is under any circumstances to be given, even should he show signs and wonders to authenticate his doctrine. The standing rule of faith and practice had been laid down once for all - that the people were to hold fast. The prophet who propounded another rule could only be an impostor.
A different case is considered in Deuteronomy 18:18, etc.

Deuteronomy 13:5
繁體中文
文脈與平行經文（比較 Deuteronomy 17:7；Leviticus 20:2）表明，當時應有正規的司法程序，而處決的方式應為用石頭打死。在這件事上，會眾也要承擔自己的一份，以表明他們對這罪的憎惡，並表明自己與這罪無干。
Originale inglese
The context and parallel passages (compare Deuteronomy 17:7; Leviticus 20:2) indicate that there was to be a regular judicial procedure, and that the manner of the execution was to be by stoning. In this the community was to take its part in order to show its horror at the crime, and to clear itself of complicity therein.

Deuteronomy 13:6
繁體中文
你的同胞弟兄，或是你的兒女，或是你懷中的妻，或是如同你性命的朋友，若暗中引誘你，說：我們不如去事奉你和你列祖所不認識的別神——
Originale inglese
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;
12
Deuteronomy 13:12
繁體中文
這城要對那城嚴加看守，如同這人對那人。「耶和華你神所賜你居住的」這一句子，意味深長地提醒他們：他們居所的真正所有權在於耶和華（參 Leviticus 25:23）；他們不過是租戶，決不可讓神的產業成為背叛祂正當權柄的中心。
Originale inglese
City was to keep jealous watch over city, as man over man. The clause "which the Lord thy God hath given thee to dwell in" significantly reminds them that the real ownership of their dwellings rested in the Lord (compare Leviticus 25:23), and that they, the mere tenants, must not allow His property to become a center of rebellion against His just authority.
13
Deuteronomy 13:13
繁體中文
在 Deuteronomy 15:9 和 Nahum 1:11 中，「Belial」這個字在我們的譯本裡被譯作形容詞「邪惡的」。這字意為「無價值」。
（出自 Barnes 的註釋）
Originale inglese
In Deuteronomy 15:9 and in Nahum 1:11 the word "Belial" is rendered in our translation by the adjective "wicked." The word means "worthlessness."
(from Barnes' Notes)
16
Deuteronomy 13:16
繁體中文
全部獻給耶和華你的神——有人寧願譯作：「如同一個完整的祭物獻給耶和華你的神。」
Originale inglese
Every whit, for the Lord thy God - Some prefer: "as a whole offering to the Lord thy God."
上一章末節的勸戒，引出一連串新的警告，作為防止這些義務被違犯的進一步保障。真實敬拜的方式與形式既已定立，下一步便是針對虛假敬拜的發起者與協從者立法。
