彼既滅於爾前、爾當慎之、勿受誘而從之、勿問其神、自謂斯族若何事神、我亦如之、

則當謹恪、勿陷於坎阱、勿求其上帝、意謂斯民服事其上帝、我亦必如是以行。

彼見滅於爾前之後、慎毋隨其惡俗陷於罪網、毋求其所敬之神、毋自言此諸國之民、如何事其諸神、我亦欲如是行、

and after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared by inquiring about their gods, saying,“ How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same.”

They will be destroyed to make room for you. But when they are destroyed, be careful. Don’t be trapped. Don’t ask questions about their gods. Don’t say,“ How do these nations serve their gods? We’ll do it in the same way.”

take care that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying,‘ How did these nations serve their gods?— that I also may do the same.’

do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying,‘ How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’

be careful not to be ensnared by their ways after they have been destroyed before you. Do not inquire about their gods, asking,‘ How did these nations worship their gods? I’ll also do the same.’

be careful that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from your presence, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying,‘ How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’

你們必須滅絕你們的上帝耶和華交在你們手裡的各族，不可憐憫他們，不可拜他們的神明，因為那樣會使你們陷入網羅。

「『你們說要像外族人一樣去供奉木頭石頭，你們的想法絕不能實現！』

耶和華說：「不要效法列國的行為。他們被天象嚇倒，你們卻不要因天象而害怕。

一定要趕走當地的居民，毀掉他們一切的石像和鑄像，拆毀他們所有的邱壇。

因此，我奉主的名鄭重地勸告各位，不要再像不信的外族人一樣過著心靈空虛的日子。

當我引領他們進入我曾起誓要賜給他們的土地時，他們在所見的每一處高山或密林獻祭，焚燒馨香的祭牲，向偶像奠酒，惹我發怒。

他們沒有照耶和華的命令消滅外族人，反倒與他們混居，仿效他們的習俗，拜他們的神像，陷入網羅。他們把自己的兒女當祭物獻給鬼魔，他們把自己的兒女獻給迦南的神像作祭物，流他們兒女無辜的血，玷污了那地方。

你們不可追隨世界的潮流，要隨著思想的不斷更新而改變，這樣就能明辨上帝的旨意，知道什麼是良善、純全、蒙祂悅納的。

你們從前長期沉溺於異教徒的嗜好——淫亂、縱慾、醉酒、狂歡、宴樂和可憎的偶像崇拜。如今你們不再和他們同流合污，他們覺得奇怪，就用惡言毀謗你們。

我給你定下國界，從紅海到非利士海岸，從曠野到幼發拉底河。我要把其中所有的人都交在你手中，你要把他們全部趕出去。不可跟這些民族及其神明立約，也不可讓這些民族住在你的土地上，免得他們使你得罪我，你若供奉他們的神明，必因此而陷入網羅。」

你們曾經住在埃及，但不可效法埃及人的行為。我要把你們帶到迦南，但你們不可效法迦南人的行為，不可隨從他們的風俗。

你們不可跟這裡的居民立約，要毀掉他們的祭壇。』可是你們為什麼不聽呢？因此，我告訴你們，我必不趕走這裡的居民，他們必成為你們肋旁的刺，他們的神明必成為你們的網羅。」

拒絕遵守祂的律例和祂與他們祖先所立的約，無視祂的警告。他們隨從虛無的偶像，自己也變得虛無。他們違背耶和華的命令，去效法周圍的外族人。
