13 ¹If prophet or person wey dey dream dream rise among una, and e give una sign or wonder, ²and di sign or wonder wey e talk about happen true-true, and e say, ‘Make we follow oda gods wey una neva know, make we serve dem,’ ³no listen to di words of dat prophet or dat person wey dey dream dream. Your Papa dey test una, to know weda una love your Papa with all una heart and all una soul. ⁴Follow your Papa, fear am, keep im commands, obey im voice, serve am, hold am tight. ⁵Dat prophet or dat person wey dey dream dream must die, because e talk rebellion against your Papa, wey bring una comot from Egypt and rescue una from di slave house, to pull una comot from di way wey your Papa command una make una waka. So clear di evil comot from among una.

⁶If your broda, your mama pikin, or your son or your daughter, or di wife wey you hold close, or your padi wey you love reach your own life, take secret lure you, and e say, ‘Make we go serve oda gods’—gods wey you and your ancestors neva know, ⁷from di gods of di people wey dey around una, di ones near or far, from one end of di earth reach di oda end.’ ⁸No gree for am, no listen to am; no pity am, no spare am, no hide am. ⁹No—you must kill am. Your hand go strike am first, den all di people hand go follow. ¹⁰Stone am make e die, because e try turn you from your Papa, wey bring you comot from Egypt, comot from di slave house. ¹¹All Israel go hear and go dey fear, and dem no go do such evil thing again among una.

¹²If you hear dem talk about one of your towns wey your Papa give una make una live inside, ¹³say some useless men don comot from among una and don lead di people of dia town go astray, dem dey say, ‘Make we go serve oda gods wey una neva know,’ ¹⁴den you go search, examine am well, and ask carefully. If e be true and dem confirm say dis abomination thing happen among una, ¹⁵you must strike down di people wey dey live for dat town with di edge of sword, destroy am complete—everything inside am and dia animals—with di edge of sword. ¹⁶Gather all di loot for inside am go di middle of di town square, burn di town and all im loot for fire as whole burnt offering to your Papa. E go remain ruin forever, dem no go ever build am again. ¹⁷No make anything wey dem set apart for destruction stick to your hand, so your Papa go turn from im hot anger, go give una tender mercy wey dey pain belle, go get mercy on una, and go multiply una, as e swear to your ancestors, ¹⁸if una obey your Papa voice, dey keep all im commands wey I dey command una today, dey do di correct-and-holy way for your Papa eyes.
