1 H3318 [H8799] When thou goest out H4421 to battle H341 [H8802] against thy enemies, H7200 [H8804] and seest H5483 horses, H7393 and chariots, H5971 and a people H7227 more H3372 [H8799] than thou, be not afraid H3068 of them: for the LORD H430 thy God H5927 [H8688] is with thee, who brought thee H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt.

2 H7126 [H8800] And it shall be, when ye are come near H4421 to the battle, H3548 that the priest H5066 [H8738] shall approach H1696 [H8765] and speak H5971 to the people,

3 H559 [H8804] And shall say H8085 [H8798] to them, Hear, H3478 O Israel, H7131 ye approach H3117 this day H4421 to battle H341 [H8802] against your enemies: H3824 let not your hearts H7401 [H8735] faint, H3372 [H8799] fear H2648 [H8799] not, and do not tremble, H6206 [H8799] neither be ye terrified H6440 because of them;

4 H3068 For the LORD H430 your God H1980 [H8802] is he that goeth H3898 [H8736] with you, to fight H341 [H8802] for you against your enemies, H3467 [H8687] to liberate you.

5 H7860 [H8802] And the officers H1696 [H8765] shall speak H5971 to the people, H559 [H8800] saying, H376 What man H1129 [H8804] is there that hath built H2319 a new H1004 house, H2596 [H8804] and hath not dedicated H3212 [H8799] it? let him go H7725 [H8799] and return H1004 to his house, H4191 [H8799] lest he should die H4421 in the battle, H312 and another H376 man H2596 [H8799] should dedicate it.

6 H376 And what man H5193 [H8804] is he that hath planted H3754 a vineyard, H2490 [H8765] and hath not yet eaten H3212 [H8799] of it? let him also go H7725 [H8799] and return H1004 to his house, H4191 [H8799] lest he should die H4421 in the battle, H312 and another H376 man H2490 [H8762] should eat of it.

7 H376 And what man H781 [H8765] is there that hath betrothed H802 a wife, H3947 [H8804] and hath not taken H3212 [H8799] her? let him go H7725 [H8799] and return H1004 to his house, H4191 [H8799] lest he should die H4421 in battle, H312 and another H376 man H3947 [H8799] should take her.

8 H7860 [H8802] And the officers H1696 [H8763] shall speak H3254 [H8804] further H5971 to the people, H559 [H8804] and they shall say, H376 What man H3373 is there that is fearful H7390 H3824 and fainthearted? H3212 [H8799] let him go H7725 [H8799] and return H1004 to his house, H251 lest his brethren's H3824 heart H4549 [H8735] should faint H3824 as well as his heart.

9 H7860 [H8802] And it shall be, when the officers H3615 [H8763] have finished H1696 [H8763] speaking H5971 to the people, H6485 [H8804] that they shall make H8269 captains H6635 of the armies H7218 to lead H5971 the people.

10 H7126 [H8799] When thou comest near H5892 to a city H3898 [H8736] to fight H7121 [H8804] against it, then call H7965 peace to it.

11 H6030 [H8799] And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer H7965 of peace, H6605 [H8804] and open H5971 to thee, then it shall be, that all the people H4672 [H8737] that are found H4522 in it shall be forced labourers H5647 [H8804] to thee, and they shall serve thee.

12 H7999 [H8686] And if it will make no peace H6213 [H8804] with thee, but will make H4421 war H6696 [H8804] against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:

13 H3068 And when the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8804] hath given H3027 it into thine hands, H5221 [H8689] thou shalt smite H2138 every male H6310 of it with the edge H2719 of the sword:

14 H802 But the women, H2945 and the little ones, H929 and the cattle, H5892 and all that is in the city, H7998 even all the spoil H962 [H8799] of it, shalt thou take H398 [H8804] to thyself; and thou shalt eat H7998 the spoil H341 [H8802] of thy enemies, H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8804] hath given thee.

15 H6213 [H8799] Thus shalt thou do H5892 to all the cities H3966 which are very H7350 distant H2007 from thee, which H5892 are not of the cities H1471 of these nations.

16 H5892 But of the cities H5971 of these people, H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] doth give H5159 thee for an inheritance, H2421 [H8762] thou shalt save alive H5397 nothing that breatheth:

17 H2763 [H8687] But thou shalt utterly H2763 [H8686] seclude H2850 them; namely, the Hittites, H567 and the Amorites, H3669 the Canaanites, H6522 and the Perizzites, H2340 the Hivites, H2983 and the Jebusites; H3068 as the LORD H430 thy God H6680 [H8765] hath commanded thee:

18 H3925 [H8762] That they may not teach H6213 [H8800] you to do H8441 after all their abominations, H6213 [H8804] which they have done H430 to their gods; H2398 [H8804] so should ye sin H3068 against the LORD H430 your God.

19 H6696 [H8799] When thou shalt besiege H5892 a city H7227 a long H3117 time, H3898 [H8736] in making war H8610 [H8800] against it to take H7843 [H8686] it, thou shalt not decay H6086 the trees H5080 [H8800] of it by forcing H1631 an axe H398 [H8799] against them: for thou mayest eat H3772 [H8799] of them, and thou shalt not cut them down H6086 (for the tree H7704 of the field H120 is man's H935 [H8800] life) to employ H6440 H4692 them in the siege:

20 H6086 Only the trees H3045 [H8799] which thou knowest H6086 that they are not trees H3978 for food, H7843 [H8686] thou shalt decay H3772 [H8804] and cut them down; H1129 [H8804] and thou shalt build H4692 bulwarks H5892 against the city H6213 [H8802] that maketh H4421 war H3381 [H8800] with thee, until it shall be subdued.

5 H7860 And the officers [H8802] H1696 shall speak [H8765] H5971 unto the people H559 , saying [H8800] H376 , What man H1129 is there that hath built [H8804] H2319 a new H1004 house H2596 , and hath not dedicated [H8804] H3212 it? let him go [H8799] H7725 and return [H8799] H1004 to his house H4191 , lest he die [H8799] H4421 in the battle H312 , and another H376 man H2596 dedicate [H8799] it.

6 H376 And what man H5193 is he that hath planted [H8804] H3754 a vineyard H2490 , and hath not yet eaten [H8765] H3212 of it? let him also go [H8799] H7725 and return [H8799] H1004 unto his house H4191 , lest he die [H8799] H4421 in the battle H312 , and another H376 man H2490 eat [H8762] of it.

7 H376 And what man H781 is there that hath betrothed [H8765] H802 a wife H3947 , and hath not taken [H8804] H3212 her? let him go [H8799] H7725 and return [H8799] H1004 unto his house H4191 , lest he die [H8799] H4421 in the battle H312 , and another H376 man H3947 take [H8799] her.

8 H7860 And the officers [H8802] H1696 shall speak [H8763] H3254 further [H8804] H5971 unto the people H559 , and they shall say [H8804] H376 , What man H3373 is there that is fearful H7390 and fainthearted H3824 H3212 ? let him go [H8799] H7725 and return [H8799] H1004 unto his house H251 , lest his brethren's H3824 heart H4549 faint [H8735] H3824 as well as his heart.

9 H7860 And it shall be, when the officers [H8802] H3615 have made an end [H8763] H1696 of speaking [H8763] H5971 unto the people H6485 , that they shall make [H8804] H8269 captains H6635 of the armies H7218 to lead H5971 the people.

10 H7126 When thou comest nigh [H8799] H5892 unto a city H3898 to fight [H8736] H7121 against it, then proclaim [H8804] H7965 peace unto it.

11 H6030 And it shall be, if it make thee answer [H8799] H7965 of peace H6605 , and open [H8804] H5971 unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people H4672 that is found [H8737] H4522 therein shall be tributaries H5647 unto thee, and they shall serve [H8804] thee.

12 H7999 And if it will make no peace [H8686] H6213 with thee, but will make [H8804] H4421 war H6696 against thee, then thou shalt besiege [H8804] it:

13 H3068 And when the LORD H430 thy God H5414 hath delivered [H8804] H3027 it into thine hands H5221 , thou shalt smite [H8689] H2138 every male H6310 thereof with the edge H2719 of the sword:

14 H802 But the women H2945 , and the little ones H929 , and the cattle H5892 , and all that is in the city H7998 , even all the spoil H962 thereof, shalt thou take [H8799] H398 unto thyself; and thou shalt eat [H8804] H7998 the spoil H341 of thine enemies [H8802] H3068 , which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 hath given [H8804] thee.

15 H6213 Thus shalt thou do [H8799] H5892 unto all the cities H3966 which are very H7350 far off H2007 from thee, which H5892 are not of the cities H1471 of these nations.

16 H5892 But of the cities H5971 of these people H3068 , which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 doth give [H8802] H5159 thee for an inheritance H2421 , thou shalt save alive [H8762] H5397 nothing that breatheth:

17 H2763 But thou shalt utterly [H8687] H2763 destroy [H8686] H2850 them; namely, the Hittites H567 , and the Amorites H3669 , the Canaanites H6522 , and the Perizzites H2340 , the Hivites H2983 , and the Jebusites H3068 ; as the LORD H430 thy God H6680 hath commanded [H8765] thee:

18 H3925 That they teach [H8762] H6213 you not to do [H8800] H8441 after all their abominations H6213 , which they have done [H8804] H430 unto their gods H2398 ; so should ye sin [H8804] H3068 against the LORD H430 your God.

19 H6696 When thou shalt besiege [H8799] H5892 a city H7227 a long H3117 time H3898 , in making war [H8736] H8610 against it to take [H8800] H7843 it, thou shalt not destroy [H8686] H6086 the trees H5080 thereof by forcing [H8800] H1631 an axe H398 against them: for thou mayest eat [H8799] H3772 of them, and thou shalt not cut them down [H8799] H6086 (for the tree H7704 of the field H120 is man's H935 life) to employ [H8800] H6440 them in the siege H4692 :

20 H6086 Only the trees H3045 which thou knowest [H8799] H6086 that they be not trees H3978 for meat H7843 , thou shalt destroy [H8686] H3772 and cut them down [H8804] H1129 ; and thou shalt build [H8804] H4692 bulwarks H5892 against the city H6213 that maketh [H8802] H4421 war H3381 with thee, until it be subdued [H8800] .

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When thou shalt go out to battle against thine enemies, and see horsemen, and charioteers, and a people more numerous than thou art; be not afraid of them; for the Lord thy God is with thee; he who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. ² And when thou art near coming to battle, the priest shall approach, and speak to the people, ³ and say to them, Hear, O Israel! Yon are now going to battle against your enemies; let not your heart be discouraged; fear not, nor be dismayed, nor turn aside from before them; ⁴ for the Lord your God goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, and to save you. ⁵ Then the scribes shall speak to the people, and say, If there be any man who hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it, let him go, and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. ⁶ Or is there any man who hath planted a vineyard, and hath not been regaled with it; let him go, and return to his family, lest he die in the battle, and another man be regaled with it. ⁷ Or is there any man who hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her home; let him go, and return to his family, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. ⁸ And the scribes shall further speak to the people, and say, Is there any man fearful, and faint hearted; let him go, and return to his family, lest he make the heart of his brother faint as his own. ⁹ And when the scribes have done speaking to the people, they shall appoint the chiefs of the army to lead on the people. ¹⁰ And when thou art come to a city, to fight against it, thou shalt call upon the inhabitants to come out peaceably. ¹¹ And if they return thee a peaceful answer, and open to thee; all the people who are found therein shall be tributary to thee, and be thy subjects. ¹² But if they hearken not to thee, and make war against thee, thou shalt besiege it, ¹³ until the Lord thy God deliver it into thy hands. And when thou hast smitten all the males therein with the slaughter of the sword, ¹⁴ thou shalt take for thyself, besides the women and the children, all the cattle, and all spoils that are in the city, and eat all the prey of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God giveth thee. ¹⁵ In this manner thou shalt treat all the cities which are at a great distance from thee, which are not of the cities of those nations whose land the Lord thy God giveth thee for a possession. ¹⁶ Of these you shall save none alive that breatheth: ¹⁷ but, with an Anathema, thou shalt devote to destruction the Chettite and the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Gergasite, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; ¹⁸ that they may not teach you all their abominations which they have performed to their gods; and that you may not sin before the Lord your God: ¹⁹ Now when thou shalt sit down before a city, many days, to war against it till it be taken, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by striking an ax against them. That especially, the fruit of which thou mayst eat, thou shalt not cut down. Doth any man wish to have a tree in the field for the purpose of a rampart for thee; ²⁰ let it be that only which thou knowest is not a fruit bearing tree. This thou mayst destroy and cut down, to build ramparts against the city which resisteth thee, until it be delivered up.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When thou goest out to battle against thy enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt. ² And it shall be when ye are come nigh to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people, ³ And shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; ⁴ For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. ⁵ And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should dedicate it. ⁶ And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should eat of it. ⁷ And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in battle, and another man should take her. ⁸ And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and faint-hearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren's heart should faint as well as his heart. ⁹ And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking to the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people. ¹⁰ When thou comest nigh to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it. ¹¹ And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer of peace, and open to thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found therein, shall be tributaries to thee, and they shall serve thee. ¹² And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: ¹³ And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite every male of it with the edge of the sword: ¹⁴ But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, shalt thou take to thyself: and thou shalt eat the spoil of thy enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. ¹⁵ Thus shalt thou do to all the cities which are very distant from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. ¹⁶ But of the cities of these people which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: ¹⁷ But thou shalt utterly destroy them, namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: ¹⁸ That they may not teach you to do after all their abominations which they have done to their gods; so would ye sin against the LORD your God. ¹⁹ When thou shalt besiege a city a long time in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees of it by forcing an ax against them; for thou mayest eat of them: and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege: ²⁰ Only the trees which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it shall be subdued.

1 H3318 [H8799] When thou goest out H4421 to battle H341 [H8802] against thy enemies H7200 [H8804] , and seest H5483 horses H7393 , and chariots H5971 , and a people H7227 more H3372 [H8799] than thou, be not afraid H3068 of them: for the LORD H430 thy God H5927 [H8688] is with thee, who brought thee H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt.

2 H7126 [H8800] And it shall be, when ye are come near H4421 to the battle H3548 , that the priest H5066 [H8738] shall approach H1696 [H8765] and speak H5971 to the people,

5 H7860 [H8802] And the officers H1696 [H8765] shall speak H5971 to the people H559 [H8800] , saying H376 , What man H1129 [H8804] is there that hath built H2319 a new H1004 house H2596 [H8804] , and hath not dedicated H3212 [H8799] it? let him go H7725 [H8799] and return H1004 to his house H4191 [H8799] , lest he should die H4421 in the battle H312 , and another H376 man H2596 [H8799] should dedicate it.

10 H7126 [H8799] When thou comest near H5892 to a city H3898 [H8736] to fight H7121 [H8804] against it, then proclaim H7965 peace to it.

11 H6030 [H8799] And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer H7965 of peace H6605 [H8804] , and open H5971 to thee, then it shall be, that all the people H4672 [H8737] that are found H4522 in it shall be forced labourers H5647 [H8804] to thee, and they shall serve thee.

12 H7999 [H8686] And if it will make no peace H6213 [H8804] with thee, but will make H4421 war H6696 [H8804] against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:

13 H3068 And when the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8804] hath delivered H3027 it into thy hands H5221 [H8689] , thou shalt smite H2138 every male H6310 of it with the edge H2719 of the sword:

15 H6213 [H8799] Thus shalt thou do H5892 to all the cities H3966 which are very H7350 distant H2007 from thee, which H5892 are not of the cities H1471 of these nations.

16 H5892 But of the cities H5971 of these people H3068 , which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] doth give H5159 thee for an inheritance H2421 [H8762] , thou shalt save alive H5397 nothing that breatheth:

20 H6086 Only the trees H3045 [H8799] which thou knowest H6086 that they are not trees H3978 for food H7843 [H8686] , thou shalt destroy H3772 [H8804] and cut them down H1129 [H8804] ; and thou shalt build H4692 bulwarks H5892 against the city H6213 [H8802] that maketh H4421 war H3381 [H8800] with thee, until it shall be subdued.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And if thou shouldest go forth to war against thine enemies, and shouldest see horse, and rider, and a people more numerous than thyself; thou shalt not be afraid of them, for the Lord thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. ² And it shall come to pass whenever thou shalt draw nigh to battle, that the priest shall draw nigh and speak to the people, and shall say to them, ³ Hear, O Israel; ye are going this day to battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint, fear not, neither be confounded, neither turn aside from their face. ⁴ For it is the Lord your God who advances with you, to fight with you against your enemies, and to save you. ⁵ And the scribes shall speak to the people, saying, What man is he that has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the war, and another man dedicate it. ⁶ And what man is he that has planted a vineyard, and not been made merry with it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man be made merry with it. ⁷ And what man is he that has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. ⁸ And the scribes shall speak further to the people, and say, What man is he that fears and is cowardly in his heart? Let him go and return to his house, lest he make the heart of his brother fail, as his own. ⁹ And it shall come to pass when the scribes shall have ceased speaking to the people, that they shall appoint generals of the army to be leaders of the people. ¹⁰ And if thou shalt draw nigh to a city to overcome them by war, then call them out peaceably. ¹¹ If then they should answer peaceably to thee, and open to thee, it shall be that all the people found in it shall be tributary and subject to thee. ¹² But if they will not hearken to thee, but wage war against thee, thou shalt invest it; ¹³ until the Lord thy God shall deliver it into thy hands, and thou shalt smite every male of it with the edge of the sword: ¹⁴ except the women and the stuff: and all the cattle, and whatsoever shall be in the city, and all the plunder thou shalt take as spoil for thyself, and shalt eat all the plunder of thine enemies whom the Lord thy God gives thee. ¹⁵ Thus shalt thou do to all the cities that are very far off from thee, not being of the cities of these nations which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit their land. ¹⁶ Of these ye shall not take any thing alive; ¹⁷ but ye shall surely curse them, the Chettite, and the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Gergesite; as the Lord thy God commanded thee: ¹⁸ that they may not teach you to do all their abominations, which they did to their gods, and so ye should sin before the Lord your God. ¹⁹ And if thou shouldest besiege a city many days to prevail against it by war to take it, thou shalt not destroy its trees, by applying an iron tool to them, but thou shalt eat of it, and shalt not cut it down: Is the tree that is in the field a man, to enter before thee into the work of the siege? ²⁰ But the tree which thou knowest to be not fruit-bearing, this thou shalt destroy and cut down; and thou shalt construct a mound against the city, which makes war against thee, until it be delivered up.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When thou goest out to battle against thy enemies, and thou seest horse, and chariot, people more in number than thou: be not afraid of them; for the Lord thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. ² And it shall be, when ye come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people; ³ And he shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye come nigh this day unto the battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and be not downcast, and do not tremble because of them: ⁴ For the Lord your God it is who goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to help you. ⁵ And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there who hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. ⁶ And what man is there who hath planted a vineyard, and hath not redeemed it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man redeem it. ⁷ And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. ⁸ And the officers shall speak yet farther unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and faint-hearted? let him go and return unto his house, that the heart of his brethren become not as faint as his heart. ⁹ And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall appoint captains of the armies at the head of the people. ¹⁰ When thou comest nigh unto a city to make war against it, then summon it with words of peace. ¹¹ And it shall be, if it make thee an answer of peace, and open its gates unto thee: then shall it be, that all the people that are found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. ¹² But if it will not make peace with thee, and wageth war against thee; then shalt thou besiege it; ¹³ And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword; ¹⁴ But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that may be in the city, all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take as booty unto thyself; and thou shalt enjoy the spoil of thy enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. ¹⁵ Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. ¹⁶ But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, shalt thou not let live a single soul. ¹⁷ But thou shalt utterly devote them; namely, the Hittites, and the Emorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; ¹⁸ In order that they may not teach you to do in accordance with all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; and ye would thus sin against the Lord your God. ¹⁹ When thou besiegest a city a long time, to make war against it to capture it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them; for of them thou mayest eat, and thou shalt not cut them down, for man liveth of the trees of the field, to employ them in thy siege; ²⁰ Only those trees of which thou knowest that they are not fruit-trees, thou mayest destroy and cut down; and thus thou canst build bulwarks against the city that wageth war with thee, until it be subdued.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ `When thou goest out to battle against thine enemy, and hast seen horse and chariot—a people more numerous than thou—thou art not afraid of them, for Jehovah thy God is with thee, who is bringing thee up out of the land of Egypt; ² and it hath been, in your drawing near unto the battle, that the priest hath come nigh, and spoken unto the people, ³ and said unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are drawing near to-day to battle against your enemies, let not your hearts be tender, fear not, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their presence, ⁴ for Jehovah your God is He who is going with you, to fight for you with your enemies—to save you. ⁵ `And the authorities have spoken unto the people, saying, Who is the man that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? —let him go and turn back to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man dedicate it. ⁶ `And who is the man that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not made it common? —let him go and turn back to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man make it common. ⁷ `And who is the man that hath betrothed a woman, and hath not taken her? —let him go and turn back to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man take her. ⁸ `And the authorities have added to speak unto the people, and said, Who is the man that is afraid and tender of heart? —let him go and turn back to his house, and the heart of his brethren doth not melt like his heart; ⁹ and it hath come to pass as the authorities finish to speak unto the people, that they have appointed princes of the hosts at the head of the people.
¹⁰ `When thou drawest near unto a city to fight against it, then thou hast called unto it for Peace, ¹¹ and it hath been, if Peace it answer thee, and hath opened to thee, then it hath come to pass—all the people who are found in it are to thee for tributaries, and have served thee. ¹² `And if it doth not make peace with thee, and hath made with thee war, then thou hast laid siege against it, ¹³ and Jehovah thy God hath given it into thy hand, and thou hast smitten every male of it by the mouth of the sword. ¹⁴ Only, the women, and the infants, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, thou dost seize for thyself, and thou hast eaten the spoil of thine enemies which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee. ¹⁵ So thou dost do to all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. ¹⁶ `Only, of the cities of these peoples which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee for an inheritance, thou dost not keep alive any breathing; ¹⁷ for thou dost certainly devote the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee, ¹⁸ so that they teach you not to do according to all their abominations which they have done to their gods, and ye have sinned against Jehovah your God. ¹⁹ `When thou layest siege unto a city many days, to fight against it, to capture it, thou dost not destroy its trees to force an axe against them, for of them thou dost eat, and them thou dost not cut down—for man's is the tree of the field—to go in at thy presence in the siege. ²⁰ Only, the tree, which thou knowest that it is not a fruit-tree, it thou dost destroy, and hast cut down, and hast built a bulwark against the city which is making with thee war till thou hast subdued it.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When thou shalt go forth to war against thine enemy, and thou sawest horse and chariot, a multitude of people more than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them, for Jehovah thy God is with thee, he bringing thee up out of the land of Egypt ² And it was in your coming near to the war, and the priest approached and spake to the people, ³ And he said to them, Hear, O Israel; ye come near this day to war against your enemies: your heart shall not be cast down, ye shall not fear, and ye shall not take flight, and ye shall not be terrified from their face. ⁴ For Jehovah your God goes with you to war with you against your enemies, to save you. ⁵ And the scribes spake to the people, saying, What man who built a new house and consecrated it not? be shall go and turn back to his house, lest he shall die in the war, and another man shall consecrate it ⁶ And what man who planted a vineyard, and made it not common? He Shall go and turn back to his house lest he shall die in the war, and another man shall make it common. ⁷ And what man betrothed a wife and took her not? he shall go and turn back to his house lest he shall die in the war, and another man shall take her. ⁸ And the scribes shall add to speak to the people, and they said, What man was afraid and cast down of heart? he shall go and turn back to his house, and he shall not melt his brother's heart as his heart. ⁹ And it was as the scribes finished to speak to the people, and they appointed captains of the armies in the head of the people. ¹⁰ When thou shalt come near to a city to war against it, and call peace to it. ¹¹ And it was, if it shall answer thee peace, and it opened to thee, and it was all the people being found in it shall be to thee for tribute and serve thee. ¹² And if it will not be at peace with thee, and it made war with thee, and thou besieged against it ¹³ And Jehovah thy God gave it into thy hand, and thou didst cut off every one of its males by the mouth of the sword. ¹⁴ Only the women and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that shall be in the city, all its spoil thou shalt plunder to thyself: and eat thou the spoil of thine enemies which Jehovah thy God gave to thee. ¹⁵ Thus shalt thou do to all the cities greatly far off from thee which are not of the cities of these nations. ¹⁶ Only of the cities of these peoples which Jehovah thy God gave to thee an inheritance, thou shalt not preserve alive and breathing: ¹⁷ For destroying, thou shalt destroy them, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee: ¹⁸ So that they shall not teach you to do according to all their abominations to their gods; and ye sinned to Jehovah your God. ¹⁹ When thou. shalt besiege against a city many days to war against it, to capture it, thou shalt not destroy its wood to thrust an axe upon it; for from it thou shalt eat: and thou shalt not cut it down; for the man the tree of the field, to go from before thee into the fortress. ²⁰ Only the tree which thou shalt know that it is not a tree of food, thou shalt destroy it, and cut down, and build a fortress against the city which made way with thee, till it came down.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When thou goest out to war against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, [and] a people more numerous than thou, thou shalt not fear them; for Jehovah thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. ² And it shall be, when ye approach unto the battle, that the priest shall draw near and speak unto the people, ³ and shall say unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are approaching this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be afraid of them; ⁴ for Jehovah your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. ⁵ And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. ⁶ And what man is there that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not eaten of it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it. ⁷ And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. ⁸ And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and shall say, What man is there that is timid and faint-hearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren`s heart melt as well as his heart. ⁹ And it shall be, when the officers have ended speaking unto the people, that they shall place captains of the hosts at the head of the people. ¹⁰ When thou approachest unto a city to fight against it, thou shalt proclaim peace unto it. ¹¹ And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then all the people that are found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. ¹² And if it will not make peace with thee, but will make war with thee, then thou shalt besiege it; ¹³ and when Jehovah thy God delivereth it into thy hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: ¹⁴ only the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that shall be in the city, all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take as booty for thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee ¹⁵ Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities that are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. ¹⁶ But of the cities of these peoples which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth, ¹⁷ but shalt utterly devote them to destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee; ¹⁸ that they teach you not to do according to all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods, so that ye sin against Jehovah your God. ¹⁹ When thou shalt besiege a city many days, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by lifting up an axe against them; for thou canst eat of them; and thou shalt not cut them down, for is the tree of the field a man that it should be besieged? ²⁰ Only the trees which thou knowest are not trees for meat, thou mayest destroy and cut them down, and build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it fall.

2 H7126 And it shall be, when ye draw nigh H4421 unto the battle, H3548 that the priest H5066 shall approach H1696 and speak H5971 unto the people,

3 H559 and shall say H8085 unto them, Hear, H3478 O Israel, H7131 ye draw nigh H3117 this day H4421 unto battle H341 against your enemies: H3824 let not your heart H7401 faint; H3372 fear H2648 not, nor tremble, H6206 neither be ye affrighted H6440 at them;

4 H3068 for Jehovah H430 your God H1980 is he that goeth H3898 with you, to fight H341 for you against your enemies, H3467 to save you.

5 H7860 And the officers H1696 shall speak H5971 unto the people, H559 saying, H376 What man H1129 is there that hath built H2319 a new H1004 house, H2596 and hath not dedicated H3212 it? let him go H7725 and return H1004 to his house, H4191 lest he die H4421 in the battle, H312 and another H376 man H2596 dedicate it.

12 H7999 And if it will make no peace H6213 with thee, but will make H4421 war H6696 against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:

13 H3068 and when Jehovah H430 thy God H5414 delivereth H3027 it into thy hand, H5221 thou shalt smite H2138 every male H6310 thereof with the edge H2719 of the sword:

15 H6213 Thus shalt thou do H5892 unto all the cities H3966 which are very H7350 far off H2007 from thee, which H5892 are not of the cities H1471 of these nations.

16 H5892 But of the cities H5971 of these peoples, H3068 that Jehovah H430 thy God H5414 giveth H5159 thee for an inheritance, H2421 thou shalt save alive H5397 nothing that breatheth;

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them; for the LORD thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. ² And it shall be, when ye draw nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, ³ and shall say unto them: 'Hear, O Israel, ye draw nigh this day unto battle against your enemies; let not your heart faint; fear not, nor be alarmed, neither be ye affrighted at them; ⁴ for the LORD your God is He that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.' ⁵ And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying: 'What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. ⁶ And what man is there that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not used the fruit thereof? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use the fruit thereof. ⁷ And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.' ⁸ And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say: 'What man is there that is fearful and faint-hearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart melt as his heart.' ⁹ And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that captains of hosts shall be appointed at the head of the people. ¹⁰ When thou drawest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. ¹¹ And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found therein shall become tributary unto thee, and shall serve thee. ¹² And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it. ¹³ And when the LORD thy God delivereth it into thy hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword; ¹⁴ but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take for a prey unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. ¹⁵ Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. ¹⁶ Howbeit of the cities of these peoples, that the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth, ¹⁷ but thou shalt utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; ¹⁸ that they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods, and so ye sin against the LORD your God. ¹⁹ When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by wielding an axe against them; for thou mayest eat of them, but thou shalt not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged of thee? ²⁰ Only the trees of which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, them thou mayest destroy and cut down, that thou mayest build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it fall.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When thou shalt go out to wage war against thine enemy, and shalt see the horses and chariots of a people more in number than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them,––for, Yahweh thy God, is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. ² And it shall be, when ye are coming nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people; ³ and shall say unto them,––Hear, O Israel, ye are coming near, today, unto battle, against your enemies,––let not your heart faint, do not fear, nor start, nor quake, because of them. ⁴ For, Yahweh your God, is he that is going with you,––to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. ⁵ Then shall the officers speak unto the people, saying, Who is the man that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go, and return unto his house,––lest he die in the battle, and, another man, dedicate it. ⁶ And who is the man that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not thrown it open? let him go, and return unto his house,––lest he die in the battle, and, another man, throw it open. ⁷ And who is the man that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go, and return unto his house,––lest he die in the battle, and, another man, take her. ⁸ Then shall the officers further speak unto the people, and say––Who is the man that is fearful and faint–hearted? let him go, and return unto his house,––lest his brethren’s heart melt as well as his heart. ⁹ And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, then shall they appoint captains of hosts, at the head of the people.
¹⁰ When thou shalt come nigh unto a city, to fight against it,––then shalt thou proclaim unto it––peace. ¹¹ and it shall be, if, peace, be the answer it giveth thee, and it open unto thee, then shall it be, that, all the people that are found therein, shall become thy tributaries, and shall serve thee. ¹² But, if it will not make peace with thee, but will make war with thee, then shalt thou lay siege to it; ¹³ and Yahweh thy God will deliver it into thy hand,––and thou shalt smite every male thereof, with the edge of the sword; ¹⁴ but, the women and the little ones and the cattle, and all that shall be in the city––all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take as thy prey,––so shalt thou eat the spoil of thine enemies, whom Yahweh thy God hath delivered unto thee. ¹⁵ Thus, shalt thou do unto all the cities, that are very far away from thee,––which are not of the cities of those nations. ¹⁶ But, of the cities of these peoples, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee as an inheritance, shalt thou not save alive, any breathing thing. ¹⁷ But thou shalt, devote them to destruction––the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,––as Yahweh thy God hath commanded thee: ¹⁸ lest they teach you to do, according to all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods,––and so ye sin against Yahweh your God. ¹⁹ When thou shalt besiege a city for many days, to fight against it, to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof, by wielding against them an axe, when, of them, thou mightest eat, them, therefore, shalt thou not cut down,––for, Is the tree of the field, a man, that it should enter, because of thee, into the siege? ²⁰ Nevertheless, the tree of which thou knowest that it is, not a tree yielding food, the same, mayest thou destroy, and cut down,––and so build up a siege–work against the city which is making war with thee, until thou hast subdued it.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When you go forth for battle against your enemies, and you see horses and chariots and a people more numerous than you, you should not fear them, for Yahweh your Elohim is with you, the One bringing you up from the country of Egypt. ² Then it will be as you approach to the battle that the priest will come close and speak to the people. ³ He will say to them:Hear, Israel! You are near today to the battle against your enemies. Let not your heart be timid, do not fear, do not be in nervous haste and do not be terrified because of their presence. ⁴ for Yahweh your Elohim is the One going with you to fight for you with your enemies and to save you. ⁵ And the superintendents will speak to the people, saying:Whoever the man be who has built a new house and has not dedicated it yet, may go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle and another man should dedicate it. ⁶ And whoever the man be who has planted a vineyard and has not taken it yet for profane use may go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle and another man should take it for profane use. ⁷ And whoever the man be who has betrothed a woman and has not taken her yet, may go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle and another man should take her. ⁸ Then the superintendents will continue to speak to the people and say:Whoever the man be who is fearful and timid of heart may go and return to his house so that the heart of his brothers may not be melted as his own heart is. ⁹ And it will come to be when the superintendents have finished speaking to the people that they will commit chiefs of the militia hosts at the head of the people. ¹⁰ When you come near to a city to fight against it then you should call to it for peace. ¹¹ And it will come to be if it should answer you with peace, and it opens up to you, then it will come to be that all the people who are being found in it shall become tributary to you, and they will serve you. ¹² Yet if it should not make peace with you but engages in battle with you, then you must besiege it. ¹³ When Yahweh your Elohim delivers it into your hand, then you will smite every adult male of it with the edge of the sword;" ¹⁴ but the women, the little ones, the domestic beasts and all that is in the city, all its loot, you may plunder for yourself; and you may eat from the loot of your enemies which Yahweh your Elohim gives to you. ¹⁵ Thus shall you deal with all the cities which are the very farthest from you, those that are not of the cities of these nations. ¹⁶ But in the cities of these peoples which Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you as an allotment you shall not keep alive anything that has breath, ¹⁷ for you shall doom, yea doom them, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Girgashite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, just as Yahweh your Elohim had instructed you, ¹⁸ that they may not teach you to act according to all their abhorrences which they do for their elohim so that you might sin against Yahweh your Elohim. ¹⁹ When you besiege a city many days to battle against it to grab it, you shall bring ruin on no tree of it by wielding an axe against it; if you may eat of it, you shall not cut them down; for is the tree of the field a human to come before your face in the siege? ²⁰ But a tree that you know it is not a tree for food, you may bring ruin on it and cut it down, so you may build siege-works against the city which is engaging in battle with you until it comes down.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When you go out to war against other nations, and come face to face with horses and war-carriages and armies greater in number than yourselves, have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, who took you up out of the land of Egypt. ² And when you are on the point of attacking, let the priest come forward and say to the people, ³ Give ear, O Israel: today you are going forward to the fight; let your heart be strong; do not let uncontrolled fear overcome you because of those who are against you; ⁴ For the Lord your God goes with you, fighting for you to give you salvation from those who are against you. ⁵ And let the overseers say to the people, If there is any man who has made for himself a new house and has not gone into it, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another may not take his house for himself. ⁶ Or if any man has made a vine-garden without taking the first-fruits of it, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another may not be the first to make use of the fruit. ⁷ Or if any man is newly married and has had no sex relations with his wife, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another man may not take her. ⁸ And let the overseers go on to say to the people, If there is any man whose heart is feeble with fear, let him go back to his house before he makes the hearts of his countrymen feeble. ⁹ Then, after saying these words to the people, let the overseers put captains over the army. ¹⁰ When you come to a town, before attacking it, make an offer of peace. ¹¹ And if it gives you back an answer of peace, opening its doors to you, then all the people in it may be put to forced work as your servants. ¹² If however it will not make peace with you, but war, then let it be shut in on all sides: ¹³ And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy. ¹⁴ But the women and the children and the cattle and everything in the town and all its wealth, you may take for yourselves: the wealth of your haters, which the Lord your God has given you, will be your food. ¹⁵ So you are to do to all the towns far away, which are not the towns of these nations. ¹⁶ But in the towns of these peoples whose land the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, let no living thing be kept from death: ¹⁷ Give them up to the curse; the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as the Lord your God has given you orders: ¹⁸ So that you may not take them as your example and do all the disgusting things which they do in the worship of their gods, so sinning against the Lord your God. ¹⁹ If in war a town is shut in by your armies for a long time, do not let its trees be cut down and made waste; for their fruit will be your food; are the trees of the countryside men for you to take up arms against them? ²⁰ Only those trees which you are certain are not used for food may be cut down and put to destruction: and you are to make walls of attack against the town till it is taken.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When you go out to battle against your enemies and see horses and chariots, a people more than you, do not be afraid of them.

Do not let your hearts faint, do not fear, and do not tremble, neither be terrified before their faces. ⁴ For Jehovah your God is He who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. ⁵ And the officers shall speak to the people saying, Who is the man that has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it. ⁶ And who is the man that has planted a vineyard and has not used its fruits? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man use its fruits. ⁷ And who is the man that has become engaged to a wife and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her. ⁸ And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, Who is the man that is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brothers' heart faint as well as his heart. ⁹ And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking to the people, they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people. ¹⁰ When you come near a city to fight against it, then shout peace to it. ¹¹ And it shall be, if it makes the answer of peace and opens to you, then all the people found in it shall be forced laborers to you, and they shall serve you. ¹² But if it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it. ¹³ And when Jehovah your God has delivered it into your hands, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword. ¹⁴ But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, all the spoil of it, you shall take to yourself. And you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which Jehovah your God has given you. ¹⁵ So you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations. ¹⁶ But of the cities of these people, which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes. ¹⁷ But you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; as Jehovah your God has commanded you, ¹⁸ so that they may not teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done to their gods. So you would sin against Jehovah your God. ¹⁹ When you shall besiege a city a long time in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by forcing an axe against them. For you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a man that it should go before you to lay siege? ²⁰ Only the trees which you know that they are not trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down. And you shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it is subdued.

And you shall eat the plunder of your enemies which Jehovah your God has given to you. ¹⁵ So you shall do to all the cities very far away from you, which are not of the cities of these nations. ¹⁶ But of the cities of these peoples which Jehovah your God is giving to you as an inheritance, you shall not keep alive any that breathes. ¹⁷ But you shall utterly destroy them the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, as Jehovah your God has commanded you; ¹⁸ so that they may not teach you to do according to all their filthy deeds which they have done for their gods; and you would sin against Jehovah your God. ¹⁹ When you shall lay siege to a city many days, to fight against it, to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees in order to force an axe against them. For you shall eat of them, and you shall not cut them down, for is the tree of the field a man that it should be used by you to lay siege? ²⁰ Only the tree which you know not to be a fruit tree, you may destroy it, and may cut it down, and may build a bulwark against the city making war with you, until you have subdued it.

THE TORAH ON WARRING When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and a people more than you, awe them not: for Yah Veh your Elohim is with you - who ascended you from the land of Misrayim. ² And so be it, when you approach the war, the priest approaches and words to the people, ³ and says to them, Hear, O Yisra El, you approach this day to battle against your enemies: neither tenderize your hearts nor awe nor hasten nor terrify at their face; ⁴ for Yah Veh your Elohim is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. ⁵ And the officers word to the people, saying, What man has built a new house and not hanukkahed it?

10 H7126 When you draw near H5892 to a city H3898 to fight H7121 against it, then proclaim H7965 peace to it.

11 H6030 It shall be, if it makes you answer H7965 of peace, H6605 and opens H5971 to you, then it shall be, that all the people H4672 who are found H4522 therein shall become tributary H5647 to you, and shall serve you.

12 H7999 If it will make no peace H6213 with you, but will make H4421 war H6696 against you, then you shall besiege it:

13 H3068 and when Yahweh H430 your God H5414 delivers H3027 it into your hand, H5221 you shall strike H2138 every male H6310 of it with the edge H2719 of the sword:

14 H802 but the women, H2945 and the little ones, H929 and the livestock, H5892 and all that is in the city, H7998 even all its spoil, H962 you shall take H398 for a prey to yourself; and you shall eat H7998 the spoil H341 of your enemies, H3068 which Yahweh H430 your God H5414 has given you.

15 H6213 Thus you shall do H5892 to all the cities H3966 which are very H7350 far off H2007 from you, which H5892 are not of the cities H1471 of these nations.

16 H5892 But of the cities H5971 of these peoples, H3068 that Yahweh H430 your God H5414 gives H5159 you for an inheritance, H2421 you shall save alive H5397 nothing that breathes;

17 H2763 but you shall utterly H2763 destroy H2850 them: the Hittite, H567 and the Amorite, H3669 the Canaanite, H6522 and the Perizzite, H2340 the Hivite, H2983 and the Jebusite; H3068 as Yahweh H430 your God H6680 has commanded you;

18 H3925 that they not teach H6213 you to do H8441 after all their abominations, H6213 which they have done H430 to their gods; H2398 so would you sin H3068 against Yahweh H430 your God.

19 H6696 When you shall besiege H5892 a city H7227 a long H3117 time, H3898 in making war H8610 against it to take H7843 it, you shall not destroy H6086 its trees H5080 by wielding H1631 an axe H398 against them; for you may eat H3772 of them, and you shall not cut them down; H6086 for is the tree H7704 of the field H120 man, H935 that it should H6440 be besieged of you?

20 H6086 Only the trees H3045 of which you know H6086 that they are not trees H3978 for food, H7843 you shall destroy H3772 and cut them down; H1129 and you shall build H4692 bulwarks H5892 against the city H6213 that makes H4421 war H3381 with you, until it fall.

17 H2763 But you shall utterly H2763 destroy H2850 them; namely, the Hittites, H567 and the Amorites, H3669 the Canaanites, H6522 and the Perizzites, H2340 the Hivites, H2983 and the Jebusites; H3068 as the Lord H430 your God H6680 has commanded you:

18 H3925 That they teach H6213 you not to do H8441 after all their abominations, H6213 which they have done H430 unto their gods; H2398 so should you sin H3068 against the Lord H430 your God.

19 H6696 When you shall besiege H5892 a city H7227 a long H3117 time, H3898 in making war H8610 against it to take H7843 it, you shall not destroy H6086 the trees H5080 there by wielding H1631 an axe H398 against them: for you may eat H3772 of them, and you shall not cut them down H6086 (for the tree H7704 of the field H120 is man's H935 life) to employ H6440 them in the siege:

20 H6086 Only the trees H3045 which you know H6086 that they be not trees H3978 for food, H7843 you shall destroy H3772 and cut them down; H1129 and you shall build H4692 bulwarks H5892 against the city H6213 that makes H4421 war H3381 with you, until it be subdued.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies and seest horses and chariots and a people more than thou, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. ² And it shall be, when ye are come near unto the battle that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people ³ and shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies; let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them, ⁴ for the LORD your God is he that goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. ⁵ And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house lest peradventure he die in the battle and another man dedicate it. ⁶ And who has planted a vineyard and has not yet eaten of it? Let him also go and return unto his house lest peradventure he die in the battle and another man eat of it. ⁷ And what man is there that has betrothed a wife and has not taken her? Let him go and return unto his house lest peradventure he die in the battle and another man take her. ⁸ And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and a coward at heart? Let him go and return unto his house that he not cause his brethren’s hearts to become as his heart. ⁹ And it shall be when the officers have finished speaking unto the people that the captains of the armies shall lead before the people. ¹⁰ ¶ When thou comest near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. ¹¹ And it shall be, if it makes thee an answer of peace and opens unto thee, that all the people that are found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. ¹² And if it will make no peace with thee but will make war against thee, and if thou should besiege it, ¹³ and if the LORD thy God should deliver it into thine hands, then thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword. ¹⁴ Only the women and the little ones and the animals and all that is in the city, all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat of the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God has given thee. ¹⁵ Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these Gentiles. ¹⁶ Only of the cities of these peoples, which the LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breathes; ¹⁷ but thou shalt utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the LORD thy God has commanded thee, ¹⁸ that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they do unto their gods, lest ye should sin against the LORD your God. ¹⁹ When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them, for thou may eat of them; and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life) to employ them in the siege. ²⁰ Only the trees which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that makes war with thee, until it is subdued.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And if you should go forth to war against your enemies, and should see a horse and rider, and a people more numerous than yourself; you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. ² And it shall come to pass whenever you shall draw near to battle, that the priest shall draw near and speak to the people, and shall say to them, ³ Hear, O Israel; you are going this day to battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint; fear not, neither be confounded, neither turn aside from their face. ⁴ For it is the Lord your God who advances with you, to fight with you against your enemies, and to save you. ⁵ And the scribes shall speak to the people, saying, What man is there that has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the war, and another man dedicate it. ⁶ And what man is there that has planted a vineyard, and not been made merry with it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man be made merry with it. ⁷ And what man is there that has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. ⁸ And the scribes shall speak further to the people, and say, What man is there that fears, and is cowardly in his heart? Let him go and return to his house, lest he make the heart of his brother fail, as his own. ⁹ And it shall come to pass when the scribes shall have ceased speaking to the people, that they shall appoint generals of the army to be leaders of the people. ¹⁰ And if you shall draw near to a city to overcome them by war, then call them out peaceably. ¹¹ If then they should answer peaceably to you, and open to you, it shall be that all the people found in it shall be tributary and subject to you. ¹² But if they will not hearken to you, but wage war against you, you shall besiege it; ¹³ until the Lord your God shall deliver it into your hands, and you shall strike every male in it with the edge of the sword; ¹⁴ except the women and the stuff; and all the livestock, and whatsoever shall be in the city, and all the plunder you shall take as spoil for yourself, and shall eat all the plunder of your enemies whom the Lord your God gives you. ¹⁵ Thus shall you do to all the cities that are very far off from you, not being of the cities of these nations which the Lord your God gives you to inherit their land. ¹⁶ Of these you shall not take anything alive; ¹⁷ but you shall surely curse them, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite; as the Lord your God commanded you: ¹⁸ that they may not teach you to do all their abominations, which they did to their gods, and so you should sin before the Lord your God. ¹⁹ And if you should besiege a city many days to prevail against it by war to take it, you shall not destroy its trees, by applying an iron tool to them, but you shall eat of it, and shall not cut it down. Is the tree that is in the field a man, to enter before you into the work of the siege? ²⁰ But the tree which you know to be not fruit-bearing, this you shall destroy and cut down; and you shall construct a mound against the city, which makes war against you, until it is delivered up.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ »When you go to war against your enemies, you may see horses, chariots, and armies larger than yours. Do not be afraid of them for Jehovah your God, who brought you out of Egypt, will be with you. ² »A priest must come and speak to the troops before the battle begins. ³ He should say: »Listen, Israel, today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not lose your courage! Do not be afraid. Do not tremble because of them. ⁴ »Jehovah your God is going with you. He will fight for you against your enemies and give you victory. ⁵ »The officers should speak to the army: If you have built a new house that has not been dedicated, you may go home. Otherwise, you might die in battle, and someone else will dedicate it. ⁶ »Have you planted a vineyard and not used its fruits? Go home to your house and vineyard. If you die in battle another man will use its fruit. ⁷ »Is there anyone here engaged to be married? If so, he should go home. Otherwise, if he is killed in battle, someone else will marry the woman he is engaged to. ⁸ »The officers will also say to the men: Is there any man here who has lost his nerve and is afraid? If so, he is to go home. Otherwise, he will destroy the morale of the others. ⁹ »When the officers finish speaking to the army, leaders are to be chosen for each unit. ¹⁰ »When you go to attack a city, first give its people a chance to surrender. ¹¹ »If they open the gates and surrender, they will all become your slaves and do forced labor for you. ¹² »If the people of that city choose to fight and will not surrender, surround it with your army. ¹³ »When Jehovah your God lets you capture the city, kill every man in it. ¹⁴ »You may take the women, the children, the livestock, and everything else in the city for yourselves. You may use everything that belongs to your enemies. Jehovah has given it to you. ¹⁵ »This is what you must do to all the cities that are far away that do not belong to the nations nearby. ¹⁶ »Do not spare anyone's life in the cities of these nations Jehovah your God is giving you as your property. ¹⁷ »You must capture the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites for Jehovah and completely destroy them. Jehovah your God commands you. ¹⁸ »Otherwise, they will teach you to do all the disgusting things they do for their gods. You will sin against Jehovah your God. ¹⁹ »This is what you must do whenever you blockade a city for a long time in order to capture it in war. Do not harm any of its fruit trees with an ax. You may eat the fruit. Never cut those trees down, because the trees of the field are not people you have come to blockade. ²⁰ »You may destroy trees that you know are not fruit trees. You may cut them down and use them in your blockade until you capture the city.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Rules of War“When you go to war against your enemies and observe more horses, chariots, and soldiers than you have, don’t be afraid of them, for the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt is with you. ² As you draw near for battle, let the priest approach and speak to the army. ³ He will say to them, ‘Listen, Israel! You’re about to go into battle today against your enemies. Don’t be faint-hearted. Don’t be afraid, don’t panic, and don’t be terrified to face them. ⁴ For the LORD your God will be with you, fighting on your behalf against your enemies in order to grant you victory.’
⁵ “Furthermore, let the officials ask the army, ‘Is there a man here who has built a new house but has not yet dedicated it? Let him go back home. Otherwise, he may die in battle and another man dedicate it. ⁶ And is there a man here who has planted a vineyard and not yet benefited from it? Let him go home. Otherwise, he may die in battle and another man use it. ⁷ And is there a man here who is engaged to a woman and has not yet married her? Let him go back home. Otherwise, he may die in battle and another man marry her.’
⁸ “Let the officials also speak to the army, ‘Is there a man here who is afraid and faint-hearted? Let him go back home. Otherwise, he may demoralize his fellow soldier.’
⁹ “When the officials have finished speaking to the army, they must appoint officers to lead the troops.”
¹⁰ Rules of Peace“When you approach a city to wage war against it, extend terms of peace. ¹¹ If it agrees to peace and welcomes you, then all the people found in it will serve you as forced laborers. ¹² But if they refuse to make peace with you and instead choose war, then attack it. ¹³ The LORD your God will deliver it into your control, and you must execute every male. ¹⁴ The women, children, all the livestock in the city, and all of the spoil and plunder will belong to you. Appropriate the spoil of your enemies, which the LORD your God will give you. ¹⁵ Do this to all the cities that are distant from you—that is, to those cities that are not in neighboring nations.”
¹⁶ Destruction of the Canaanites“You are not to leave even one person alive in the cities of these nations that the LORD your God is about to give you as an inheritance. ¹⁷ You must completely destroy the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, just as the LORD your God commanded you, ¹⁸ so they won’t teach you to do all the detestable things that they do for their gods. If you do what they teach you, you will sin against the LORD your God.”
¹⁹ Preservation of Fruit Trees“When you attack a city and have to fight against it for many days, don’t destroy its trees by cutting them down with an ax. You may eat from them, but you must not cut them down. Are the trees of the field human beings, that you would come and attack them? ²⁰ However, you may cut down the trees whose fruit you know isn’t edible, in order to build siege works against the city that waged war with you, until it falls.”

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ "If you go out to war against your enemies and you see a horse and a chariot, _⌊an army_⌋* larger that you, you shall not be afraid because of them; for Yahweh your God is with you, the one who brought you from the land of Egypt. ² _⌊And then_⌋* when you approach the battle, then the priest shall come near and speak to the troops. ³ And he shall say to them, 'Hear, Israel, you are near _⌊today_⌋* to the battle against your enemies; _⌊do not lose heart_⌋;* you shall not be afraid, and you shall not panic, and you shall not be terrified _⌊because of them_⌋,* ⁴ for Yahweh your God is going with you to fight for you against your enemies to help you.' ⁵ And the officials shall speak to the troops, _⌊saying_⌋,* 'Who is the man who has built a new house and has not dedicated it?

Let him go and let him return to his house, so that he does not die in battle and _⌊another man_⌋* enjoys it. ⁷ And who is the man who got engaged to a woman and has not married her? Let him go and let him return to his house, so that he does not die in battle and _⌊another man_⌋* marries her.' ⁸ And the officials shall continue to speak to the troops, and they shall say, '_⌊What man_⌋* is afraid _⌊and disheartened_⌋?* Let him go, and let him return to his house, and let him not cause the heart of his brothers to melt* like his.' ⁹ And _⌊when the officials have finished speaking_⌋* to the army troops, then they shall appoint commanders of divisions at the head of the troops. ¹⁰ "When you approach a city to fight against it, _⌊you must offer it peace_⌋.* ¹¹ _⌊And then_⌋* if _⌊they accept your terms of peace_⌋* and _⌊they surrender to you_⌋,* _⌊and then_⌋* all the people _⌊inhabiting it_⌋* shall be forced labor for you, and they shall serve you. ¹² But if they _⌊do not accept your terms of peace_⌋* and they want to make war with you, then you shall lay siege against it.* ¹³ And Yahweh your God will give it into your hand, and you shall kill all its males with the _⌊edge_⌋* of the sword. ¹⁴ Only the women and the little children and the domestic animals* and all that shall be in the city, all of its spoil you may loot for yourselves, and you may enjoy the spoil of your enemies that Yahweh you God has given to you. ¹⁵ Thus you shall do to all the far* cities from you, which are not from the cities of these nations located _⌊nearby_⌋.* ¹⁶ But from the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance, you shall not let anything live that breathes.* ¹⁷ Rather, you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittites* and the Amorites,* the Canaanites* and the Perizzites,* the Hivites,* and the Jebusites,* just as Yahweh your God has commanded you, ¹⁸ so that they may not teach you to do like all their detestable things that they do for their gods and thereby you sin against Yahweh your God. ¹⁹ "If* you besiege a town for many days to make war against it in order to seize it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them,* for you may eat from them,* and so you must not cut them* down. Are the trees of the field humans that they should come in siege _⌊against you_⌋?* ²⁰ Only* the trees* that you know _⌊are not fruit trees_⌋* you may destroy and you may cut down, and you may build siege works against that city that is making war with you _⌊until it falls_⌋."*

You will sin against the LORD your God. ¹⁹ When you besiege a city a long time in making war against it to take it, you must not destroy its trees by wielding an axe against them, for you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down. Is the tree of the field a man, that it should be besieged by you? ²⁰ However, you may cut down the trees whose fruit you know isn't edible, in order to build siege works against the city that waged war with you, until it falls."

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Wenn du in einen Krieg zeuchst wider deine Feinde und siehest Rosse und Wagen des Volks, das größer sei, denn du, so fürchte dich nicht vor ihnen; denn der HERR, dein Gott, der dich aus Ägyptenland geführet hat, ist mir dir. ² Wenn ihr nun hinzukommt zum Streit, so soll der Priester herzutreten und mit dem Volk reden ³ und zu ihnen sprechen: Israel, höre zu! Ihr gehet heute in den Streit wider eure Feinde. Euer Herz verzage nicht; fürchtet euch nicht und erschrecket nicht und lasset euch nicht grauen vor ihnen; ⁴ denn der HERR, euer Gott, gehet mit euch, daß er für euch streite mit euren Feinden, euch zu helfen. ⁵ Aber die Amtleute sollen mit dem Volk reden und sagen: Welcher ein neu Haus gebauet hat und hat's noch nicht eingeweihet, der gehe hin und bleibe in seinem Hause, auf daß er nicht sterbe im Krieg, und ein anderer weihe es ein. ⁶ Welcher einen Weinberg gepflanzet hat und hat ihn noch nicht gemein gemacht, der gehe hin und bleibe daheim, daß er nicht im Kriege sterbe, und ein anderer mache ihn gemein. ⁷ Welcher ein Weib ihm vertrauet hat und hat sie noch nicht heimgeholet, der gehe hin und bleibe daheim, daß er nicht im Kriege sterbe, und ein anderer hole sie heim. ⁸ Und die Amtleute sollen weiter mit dem Volk reden und sprechen: Welcher sich fürchtet und ein verzagtes Herz hat, der gehe hin und bleibe daheim, auf daß er nicht auch seiner Brüder Herz feige mache, wie sein Herz ist. ⁹ Und wenn die Amtleute ausgeredet haben mit dem Volk, so sollen sie die Hauptleute vor das Volk an die Spitze stellen. ¹⁰ Wenn du vor eine Stadt zeuchst, sie zu bestreiten, so sollst du ihr den Frieden anbieten. ¹¹ Antwortet sie dir friedlich und tut dir auf, so soll all das Volk, das drinnen funden wird, dir zinsbar und untertan sein. ¹² Will sie aber nicht friedlich mit dir handeln und will mit dir kriegen, so belagere sie. ¹³ Und wenn sie der HERR, dein Gott, dir in die Hand gibt, so sollst du alles; was männlich drinnen ist, mit des Schwerts Schärfe schlagen; ¹⁴ ohne die Weiber, Kinder und Vieh und alles, was in der Stadt ist, und allen Raub sollst du unter dich austeilen; und sollst essen von der Ausbeute deiner Feinde, die dir der HERR, dein Gott, gegeben hat. ¹⁵ Also sollst du allen Städten tun, die sehr ferne von dir liegen und nicht hie von den Städten sind dieser Völker. ¹⁶ Aber in den Städten dieser Völker, die dir der HERR, dein Gott, zum Erbe geben wird, sollst du nichts leben lassen, was den Odem hat, ¹⁷ sondern sollst sie verbannen, nämlich die Hethiter, Amoriter, Kanaaniter, Pheresiter, Heviter und Jebusiter, wie dir der HERR, dein Gott, geboten hat, ¹⁸ auf daß sie euch nicht lehren tun alle die Greuel, die sie ihren Göttern tun, und ihr euch versündiget an dem HERRN, eurem Gott. ¹⁹ Wenn du vor einer Stadt lange Zeit liegen mußt, wider die du streitest, sie zu erobern, so sollst du die Bäume nicht verderben, daß du mit Äxten dran fahrest; denn du kannst davon essen, darum sollst du sie nicht ausrotten. Ist's doch Holz auf dem Felde und nicht Mensch, daß es vor dir ein Bollwerk sein möge. ²⁰ Welches aber Bäume sind, die du weißt, daß man nicht davon isset, die sollst du verderben und ausrotten und Bollwerk draus bauen wider die Stadt, die mit dir krieget, bis daß du ihrer mächtig werdest.

Er H3212 gehe H1004 und kehre nach seinem Hause H4191 zurück, damit er nicht in der Schlacht sterbe H312 , und ein anderer H376 Mann es einweihe.

6 H7725 Und wer ist H376 der Mann H312 , der einen H3754 Weinberg H4421 gepflanzt und ihn H5193 noch nicht benutzt hat H3212 ? Er gehe H1004 und kehre nach seinem Hause H4191 zurück, damit er nicht in der Schlacht sterbe H376 , und ein anderer Mann ihn benutze.

7 H781 Und wer ist H376 der Mann H7725 , der sich H802 ein Weib H3947 verlobt und es noch nicht genommen hat H3212 ? Er gehe H1004 und kehre nach seinem Hause H4191 zurück, damit er nicht in der Schlacht sterbe H312 , und ein anderer H376 Mann H3947 sie nehme .

8 H5971 Und die Vorsteher sollen weiter zu dem Volke H1696 reden H7725 und sprechen: Wer ist H376 der Mann H3373 , der sich fürchtet H3824 und verzagten Herzens H559 ist? Er H3212 gehe H1004 und kehre nach seinem Hause H3254 zurück, damit nicht H3824 das Herz H251 seiner Brüder H3824 verzagt werde wie sein Herz .

9 H3615 Und es soll geschehen, wenn die Vorsteher aufgehört haben H5971 , zu dem Volke H1696 zu reden H6485 , so sollen sie H7218 Heeroberste an die Spitze H5971 des Volkes stellen.

10 H5892 Wenn du dich einer Stadt H7121 näherst, wider sie H7126 zu H3898 streiten H7965 , so sollst du ihr Frieden anbieten.

11 H6030 Und H7965 es soll geschehen, wenn sie dir Frieden H6605 erwidert und dir auftut H5971 , so soll alles Volk H5647 , das sich darin befindet, dir fronpflichtig sein und dir dienen .

12 H6213 Und H7999 wenn sie nicht Frieden H4421 mit dir macht, sondern Krieg H6696 mit dir führt, so sollst du sie belagern;

13 H5414 und gibt H3068 Jehova H430 , dein Gott H3027 , sie in deine Hand H5221 , so schlage H6310 alle ihre Männlichen mit der Schärfe H2719 des Schwertes .

14 H802 Doch die Weiber H2945 und die Kinder H929 , und das Vieh H5892 und alles, was in der Stadt H7998 sein wird, alle ihre Beute H962 , sollst du für dich rauben H7998 ; und du sollst die Beute H341 deiner Feinde H398 essen H3068 , die Jehova H430 , dein Gott H5414 , dir gegeben hat.

15 H5892 Also sollst du allen Städten H6213 tun H2007 , die H3966 sehr H7350 fern H5892 von dir sind, die nicht sind von den Städten dieser Nationen hier.

16 H5892 Jedoch von den Städten H5971 dieser Völker H3068 , die Jehova H430 , dein Gott H5159 , dir als Erbteil H5414 gibt H2421 , sollst du nichts leben lassen H5397 , was Odem hat;

17 H2763 sondern du sollst sie H2763 gänzlich verbannen H2850 : Die Hethiter H567 und die Amoriter H3669 , die Kanaaniter H2983 und die Perisiter, die Hewiter und die Jebusiter H3068 , wie Jehova H430 , dein Gott H6680 , dir geboten hat;

18 H3925 auf daß sie euch nicht lehren H6213 , zu tun H8441 nach allen ihren Greueln H430 , die sie ihren Göttern H6213 getan H2398 haben H3068 , und ihr nicht sündiget wider Jehova H430 , euren Gott .

19 H5892 Wenn du eine Stadt H7227 viele H3117 Tage H6696 belagern H8610 wirst, indem du Krieg wider sie H6086 führst, um sie einzunehmen, so sollst du ihre Bäume H7843 nicht verderben H1631 , indem du die Axt H398 gegen sie schwingst [denn du kannst davon essen H6086 ] und sollst sie nicht abhauen; denn ist der Baum H7704 des Feldes H120 ein Mensch H935 , daß er H4692 vor dir in Belagerung kommen sollte?

20 H3381 Nur die H6086 Bäume H3045 , von denen du weißt H6086 , daß sie keine Bäume H3978 sind, von denen man ißt H7843 , die darfst du verderben H6213 und H1129 abhauen; und du magst Belagerungswerke davon bauen H5892 wider die Stadt H4421 , die Krieg mit dir führt, bis sie gefallen ist.

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Wanneer gij zult uittrekken tot den strijd tegen uw vijanden, en zult zien paarden en wagenen, een volk, meerder dan gij, zo zult gij voor hen niet vrezen; want de HEERE, uw God, is met u, Die u uit Egypteland heeft opgevoerd. ² En het zal geschieden, als gijlieden tot den strijd nadert, zo zal de priester toetreden, en tot het volk spreken. ³ En tot hen zeggen: Hoort, Israël! gijlieden zijt heden na aan den strijd tegen uw vijanden; uw hart worde niet week, vreest niet, en beeft niet, en verschrikt niet voor hun aangezicht. ⁴ Want het is de HEERE, uw God, Die met u gaat, om voor u te strijden tegen uw vijanden, om u te verlossen. ⁵ Dan zullen de ambtlieden tot het volk spreken, zeggende: Wie is de man, die een nieuw huis heeft gebouwd, en het niet heeft ingewijd?

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Lorsque tu iras en guerre contre tes ennemis, et que tu verras des chevaux et des cavaliers et un peuple plus nombreux que toi, n’aie point de crainte? car le Seigneur ton Dieu, qui t’a fait sortir de la terre d’Egypte, est avec toi. ² Au moment de combattre, le grand prêtre s’avancera et parlera au peuple, disant: ³ Ecoutez, enfants d’Israël: Vous allez livrer bataille à vos ennemis; conservez votre fermeté de coeur, n’ayez point de crainte, ne rompez pas les rangs, ne vous détournez pas de leur face. ⁴ Car le Seigneur votre Dieu, qui marche à votre tête, combattra vos ennemis et vous sauvera. ⁵ Les scribes aussi parleront au peuple, disant: Est-il parmi vous un homme qui, ayant bâti une maison neuve, n’en ait point fait la dédicace? Qu’il parte, qu’il retourne en sa maison s’il craint de succomber en ce combat, et qu’un autre que lui ne fasse cette dédicace. ⁶ Est-il un homme qui ait planté une vigne et n’en ait point joui? Qu’il parte, qu’il retourne en sa maison, s’il craint de succomber en ce combat, et qu’un autre que lui ne jouisse de sa vigne. ⁷ Est-il un homme qui ait épousé une femme et ne l’ait pas encore possédée? Qu’il parte, qu’il retourne en sa maison, s’il craint de succomber en ce combat, et qu’un autre que lui ne possède sa femme. ⁸ Et les scribes continueront de parler au peuple, disant: Est-il un homme qui tremble et qui en son coeur ait crainte? Qu’il parte, et qu’il retourne en sa maison pour qu’il ne rende pas craintif, comme le sien, le coeur de son frère. ⁹ Et, des que les scribes auront cessé de parler, ils placeront les chefs de l’armée à la tête du peuple. ¹⁰ ¶ Et si vous êtes près d’une ville pour donner l’assaut ou inviter les habitants à la paix: ¹¹ S’ils vous répondent pacifiquement, s’ils vous ouvrent leurs portes, que tout ce peuple, que tous ceux par vous trouvés en cette ville, soient vos tributaires et vos sujets. ¹² S’ils ne vous écoutent pas, s’ils prennent les armes, assiégez la ville. ¹³ Et si le Seigneur vous la livre, faites périr par le glaive tous les mâles qu’elle renferme, ¹⁴ Epargnez les femmes et le butin: emparez-vous de tout le bétail, de tout ce qui appartient à la ville, de toutes ses richesses, nourrissez-vous de toutes les provisions des ennemis que le Seigneur vous livre. ¹⁵ Traitez de même les villes lointaines, étrangères aux nations que le Seigneur vous livre pour vous donner leur terre comme héritage. ¹⁶ Ne prenez vivant aucun des hommes qui les habitent. ¹⁷ Frappez d’anathème: Hettéen, Amorrhéen, Chananén, Phérézéen, Evéen, Jébuséen et Gergéséen, comme vous l’a prescrit le Seigneur votre Dieu; ¹⁸ De peur qu’ils ne vous apprennent à pratiquer les abominations qu’ils commettent pour leurs dieux, et que vous ne deveniez coupables envers le Seigneur votre Dieu. ¹⁹ Si vous avez investi une ville plusieurs jours pour la combattre jusqu’à ce qu’elle succombe, ne détruisez pas ses arbres en y mettant la cognée, mangez-en les fruits sans les abattre. L’arbre des champs est-il un homme, pour entrer devant toi dans ton retranchement? ²⁰ Mais tu abattras les arbres que tu sais ne pas produire de fruits, tu en feras des palissades contre la ville qui te résiste, jusqu’à ce qu’elle te soit livrée.

Quand tu sortiras pour faire la guerre contre tes ennemis, et que tu verras des chevaux et des chars, un peuple plus nombreux que toi, tu n'auras point peur d'eux; car l'Éternel, ton Dieu, qui t'a fait monter du pays d'Égypte, est avec toi. ² Et il arrivera que quand vous vous approcherez pour le combat, le sacrificateur s'approchera et parlera au peuple, ³ et leur dira: Écoute, Israël! Vous vous approchez aujourd'hui pour livrer bataille à vos ennemis: que votre coeur ne faiblisse point, ne craignez point, ne soyez point alarmés, et ne soyez point épouvantés devant eux; ⁴ car l'Éternel, votre Dieu, marche avec vous, pour combattre pour vous contre vos ennemis, pour vous sauver. ⁵ Et les magistrats parleront au peuple, disant: Qui est l'homme qui a bâti une maison neuve et qui ne l'a pas consacrée? qu'il s'en aille et retourne en sa maison, de peur qu'il ne meure dans la bataille et qu'un autre ne la consacre. ⁶ Et qui est l'homme qui a planté une vigne et n'en a pas joui? qu'il s'en aille et retourne en sa maison, de peur qu'il ne meure dans la bataille et qu'un autre n'en jouisse. ⁷ Et qui est l'homme qui s'est fiancé une femme et ne l'a pas encore prise? qu'il s'en aille et retourne en sa maison, de peur qu'il ne meure dans la bataille et qu'un autre ne la prenne. ⁸ Et les magistrats continueront à parler au peuple, et diront: Qui est l'homme qui a peur et dont le coeur faiblit? qu'il s'en aille et retourne dans sa maison de peur que le coeur de ses frères ne se fonde comme le sien. ⁹ Et quand les magistrats auront achevé de parler au peuple, ils établiront les chefs des armées à la tête du peuple. ¹⁰
Quand tu approcheras d'une ville pour lui faire la guerre, tu l'inviteras à la paix. ¹¹ Et s'il arrive qu'elle te fasse une réponse de paix et qu'elle s'ouvre à toi, alors tout le peuple qui sera trouvé dedans te sera tributaire et te servira. ¹² Et si elle ne fait pas la paix avec toi, mais qu'elle fasse la guerre contre toi, tu l'assiégeras; ¹³ et quand l'Éternel, ton Dieu, la livrera en ta main, tu frapperas tous les mâles par le tranchant de l'épée; ¹⁴ mais les femmes et les enfants, et le bétail, et tout ce qui sera dans la ville, tout son butin, tu le pilleras pour toi; et tu mangeras le butin de tes ennemis, que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, t'aura donné. ¹⁵ C'est ainsi que tu feras à toutes les villes qui sont très-éloignées de toi, qui ne sont point des villes de ces nations-ci; ¹⁶ mais des villes de ces peuples-ci que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne en héritage, tu ne laisseras en vie rien de ce qui respire; ¹⁷ car tu les détruiras entièrement comme un anathème; le Héthien et l'Amoréen, le Cananéen et le Phérézien, le Hévien et le Jébusien, comme l'Éternel, ton Dieu, te l'a commandé, ¹⁸ afin qu'ils ne vous enseignent pas à faire selon toutes leurs abominations qu'ils ont faites à leurs dieux, et que vous ne péchiez pas contre l'Éternel, votre Dieu. ¹⁹ Quand tu assiégeras une ville pendant plusieurs jours en lui faisant la guerre pour la prendre, tu ne détruiras pas ses arbres en levant la hache contre eux, car tu pourras en manger: tu ne les couperas pas, car l'arbre des champs est-il un homme, pour être assiégé par toi? ²⁰ Seulement, l'arbre que tu connaîtras n'être pas un arbre dont on mange, celui-là tu le détruiras et tu le couperas, et tu en construiras des ouvrages pour assiéger la ville qui est en guerre avec toi, jusqu'à ce qu'elle tombe.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Quand tu iras à la guerre contre tes ennemis, et que tu verras des chevaux et des chariots, et un peuple plus grand que toi, n'aie point peur d'eux, car l'Eternel ton Dieu qui t'a fait monter hors du pays d'Egypte, est avec toi. ² Et quand il faudra s'approcher pour combattre, le Sacrificateur s'avancera, et parlera au peuple, ³ Et leur dira : Ecoute Israël : Vous vous approchez aujourd'hui pour combattre vos ennemis; que votre coeur ne soit point lâche, ne craignez point, ne soyez point épouvantés, ne soyez point effrayés à cause d'eux. ⁴ Car l'Eternel votre Dieu marche avec vous, pour combattre pour vous contre vos ennemis, et pour vous conserver. ⁵ Alors les Officiers parleront au peuple, en disant : Qui est celui qui a bâti une maison neuve, et ne l'a point dédiée ? qu'il s'en aille, et s'en retourne en sa maison, de peur qu'il ne meure en la bataille, et qu'un autre ne la dédie. ⁶ Et qui est celui qui a planté une vigne, et n'en a point encore cueilli le fruit ? qu'il s'en aille, et s'en retourne en sa maison, de peur qu'il ne meure en la bataille, et qu'un autre n'en cueille le fruit. ⁷ Et qui est celui qui a fiancé une femme, et ne l'a point épousée ? qu'il s'en aille, et s'en retourne en sa maison, de peur qu'il ne meure en la bataille, et qu'un autre ne l'épouse. ⁸ Et les officiers continueront à parler au peuple, et diront : Si quelqu'un est timide et lâche, qu'il s'en aille, et s'en retourne en sa maison, de peur que le coeur de ses frères ne se fonde comme le sien. ⁹ Et aussitôt que les officiers auront achevé de parler au peuple, ils rangeront les chefs des bandes à la tête de chaque troupe. ¹⁰ Quand tu t'approcheras d'une ville pour lui faire la guerre, tu lui présenteras la paix. ¹¹ Et si elle te fait une réponse de paix, et t'ouvre les portes, tout le peuple qui sera trouvé dedans, te sera tributaire, et sujet. ¹² Mais si elle ne traite pas avec toi, et qu'elle fasse la guerre contre toi, alors tu mettras le siège contr'elle. ¹³ Et quand l'Eternel ton Dieu l'aura livrée entre tes mains, tu feras passer au fil de l'épée tous les hommes qui s'y trouveront. ¹⁴ Réservant seulement les femmes, et les petits enfants. Et quant aux bêtes, et tout ce qui sera dans la ville, savoir tout son butin, tu le pilleras pour toi; et tu mangeras le butin de tes ennemis, que l'Eternel ton Dieu t'aura donné. ¹⁵ Tu en feras ainsi à toutes les villes qui sont fort éloignées de toi; lesquelles ne sont point des villes de ces nations-ci; ¹⁶ Mais tu ne laisseras vivre personne qui soit des villes de ces peuples que l'Eternel ton Dieu te donne en héritage. ¹⁷ Car tu ne manqueras point de les détruire à la façon de l'interdit, savoir les Héthiens, les Amorrhéens, les Cananéens, les Phérésiens, les Héviens, les Jébusiens, comme l'Eternel ton Dieu te l'a commandé. ¹⁸ Afin qu'ils ne vous apprennent point à faire selon toutes les abominations qu'ils ont faites à leurs dieux, et que vous ne péchiez point contre l'Eternel votre Dieu. ¹⁹ Quand tu tiendras une ville assiégée durant plusieurs jours, en la battant pour la prendre, tu ne détruiras point ses arbres à coups de cognée, parce que tu en pourras manger; c'est pourquoi tu ne les couperas point; car l'arbre des champs est-il un homme, pour entrer dans la forteresse. ²⁰ Mais seulement tu détruiras et tu couperas les arbres que tu connaîtras n'être point des arbres fruitiers; et tu en bâtiras des forts contre la ville qui te fait la guerre, jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit subjuguée.

Que votre coeur ne se trouble point; soyez sans crainte, ne vous effrayez pas, ne vous épouvantez pas devant eux. ⁴ Car l'Eternel, votre Dieu, marche avec vous, pour combattre vos ennemis, pour vous sauver. ⁵ Les officiers parleront ensuite au peuple et diront: Qui est-ce qui a bâti une maison neuve, et ne s'y est point encore établi? Qu'il s'en aille et retourne chez lui, de peur qu'il ne meure dans la bataille et qu'un autre ne s'y établisse. ⁶ Qui est-ce qui a planté une vigne, et n'en a point encore joui? Qu'il s'en aille et retourne chez lui, de peur qu'il ne meure dans la bataille et qu'un autre n'en jouisse. ⁷ Qui est-ce qui a fiancé une femme, et ne l'a point encore prise? Qu'il s'en aille et retourne chez lui, de peur qu'il ne meure dans la bataille et qu'un autre ne la prenne. ⁸ Les officiers continueront à parler au peuple, et diront: Qui est-ce qui a peur et manque de courage? Qu'il s'en aille et retourne chez lui, afin que ses frères ne se découragent pas comme lui. ⁹ Quand les officiers auront achevé de parler au peuple, ils placeront les chefs des troupes à la tête du peuple. ¹⁰ Quand tu t'approcheras d'une ville pour l'attaquer, tu lui offriras la paix. ¹¹ Si elle accepte la paix et t'ouvre ses portes, tout le peuple qui s'y trouvera te sera tributaire et asservi. ¹² Si elle n'accepte pas la paix avec toi et qu'elle veuille te faire la guerre, alors tu l'assiégeras. ¹³ Et après que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, l'aura livrée entre tes mains, tu en feras passer tous les mâles au fil de l'épée. ¹⁴ Mais tu prendras pour toi les femmes, les enfants, le bétail, tout ce qui sera dans la ville, tout son butin, et tu mangeras les dépouilles de tes ennemis que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, t'aura livrés. ¹⁵ C'est ainsi que tu agiras à l'égard de toutes les villes qui sont très éloignées de toi, et qui ne font point partie des villes de ces nations-ci. ¹⁶ Mais dans les villes de ces peuples dont l'Eternel, ton Dieu, te donne le pays pour héritage, tu ne laisseras la vie à rien de ce qui respire. ¹⁷ Car tu dévoueras ces peuples par interdit, les Héthiens, les Amoréens, les Cananéens, les Phéréziens, les Héviens, et les Jébusiens, comme l'Eternel, ton Dieu, te l'a ordonné, ¹⁸ afin qu'ils ne vous apprennent pas à imiter toutes les abominations qu'ils font pour leurs dieux, et que vous ne péchiez point contre l'Eternel, votre Dieu. ¹⁹ Si tu fais un long siège pour t'emparer d'une ville avec laquelle tu es en guerre, tu ne détruiras point les arbres en y portant la hache, tu t'en nourriras et tu ne les abattras point; car l'arbre des champs est-il un homme pour être assiégé par toi? ²⁰ Mais tu pourras détruire et abattre les arbres que tu sauras ne pas être des arbres servant à la nourriture, et en construire des retranchements contre la ville qui te fait la guerre, jusqu'à ce qu'elle succombe.

1 H3318 ¶ Lorsque tu iras H8799 H4421 à la guerre H341 contre tes ennemis H8802 H7200 , et que tu verras H8804 H5483 des chevaux H7393 et des chars H5971 , et un peuple H7227 plus nombreux H3372 que toi, tu ne les craindras H8799 H3068 point ; car l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H5927 , qui t’a fait monter H8688 H776 du pays H4714 d’Egypte, est avec toi.

2 H7126 A l’approche H8800 H4421 du combat H3548 , le sacrificateur H5066 s’avancera H8738 H1696 et parlera H8765 H5971 au peuple.

3 H559 Il leur dira H8804 H8085 : Ecoute H8798 H3478 , Israël H3117 ! Vous allez aujourd’hui H7131 livrer H4421 bataille H341 à vos ennemis H8802 H3824 . Que votre cœur H7401 ne se trouble H8735 H3372 point ; soyez sans crainte H8799 H2648 , ne vous effrayez H8799 H6206 pas, ne vous épouvantez H8799 H6440 pas devant eux.

5 H7860 Les officiers H8802 H1696 parleront H8765 H5971 ensuite au peuple H559 et diront H8800 H376 : Qui H1129 est-ce qui a bâti H8804 H1004 une maison H2319 neuve H2596 , et ne s’y est point encore établi H8804 H3212 ? Qu’il s’en aille H8799 H7725 et retourne H8799 H1004 chez lui H4191 , de peur qu’il ne meure H8799 H4421 dans la bataille H312 et qu’un autre H376 H2596 ne s’y établisse H8799 .

6 H376 Qui H5193 est-ce qui a planté H8804 H3754 une vigne H2490 , et n’en a point encore joui H8765 H3212 ? Qu’il s’en aille H8799 H7725 et retourne H8799 H1004 chez lui H4191 , de peur qu’il ne meure H8799 H4421 dans la bataille H312 et qu’un autre H376 H2490 n’en jouisse H8762 .

7 H376 Qui H781 est-ce qui a fiancé H8765 H802 une femme H3947 , et ne l’a point encore prise H8804 H3212 ? Qu’il s’en aille H8799 H7725 et retourne H8799 H1004 chez lui H4191 , de peur qu’il ne meure H8799 H4421 dans la bataille H312 et qu’un autre H376 H3947 ne la prenne H8799 .

8 H7860 Les officiers H8802 H3254 continueront H8804 H1696 à parler H8763 H5971 au peuple H559 , et diront H8804 H376 : Qui H3373 est-ce qui a peur H7390 et manque H3824 de courage H3212 ?

9 H7860 Quand les officiers H8802 H3615 auront achevé H8763 H1696 de parler H8763 H5971 au peuple H6485 , ils placeront H8804 H8269 les chefs H6635 des troupes H7218 à la tête H5971 du peuple.

10 H7126 ¶ Quand tu t’approcheras H8799 H5892 d’une ville H3898 pour l’attaquer H8736 H7121 , tu lui offriras H8804 H7965 la paix.

11 H6030 Si elle accepte H8799 H7965 la paix H6605 et t’ouvre H8804 H5971 ses portes, tout le peuple H4672 qui s’y trouvera H8737 H4522 te sera tributaire H5647 et asservi H8804 .

12 H7999 Si elle n’accepte pas la paix H8686 H6213 avec toi et qu’elle veuille te faire H8804 H4421 la guerre H6696 , alors tu l’assiégeras H8804 .

13 H3068 Et après que l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H5414 , l’aura livrée H8804 H3027 entre tes mains H5221 , tu en feras passer H8689 H2138 tous les mâles H6310 au fil H2719 de l’épée.

14 H962 Mais tu prendras H8799 H802 pour toi les femmes H2945 , les enfants H929 , le bétail H5892 , tout ce qui sera dans la ville H7998 , tout son butin H398 , et tu mangeras H8804 H7998 les dépouilles H341 de tes ennemis H8802 H3068 que l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H5414 , t’aura livrés H8804 .

15 H6213 C’est ainsi que tu agiras H8799 H5892 à l’égard de toutes les villes H3966 qui sont très H7350 éloignées H2007 de toi, et qui H5892 ne font point partie des villes H1471 de ces nations-ci.

16 H5892 Mais dans les villes H5971 de ces peuples H3068 dont l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H5414 , te donne H8802 H5159 le pays pour héritage H2421 , tu ne laisseras la vie H8762 H5397 à rien de ce qui respire.

17 H2763 Car tu dévoueras ces peuples par interdit H8687 H2763 H8686 H2850 , les Héthiens H567 , les Amoréens H3669 , les Cananéens H6522 , les Phéréziens H2340 , les Héviens H2983 , et les Jébusiens H3068 , comme l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H6680 , te l’a ordonné H8765 ,

18 H3925 afin qu’ils ne vous apprennent H8762 H6213 pas à imiter H8800 H8441 toutes les abominations H6213 qu’ils font H8804 H430 pour leurs dieux H2398 , et que vous ne péchiez H8804 H3068 point contre l’Eternel H430 , votre Dieu.

19 H7227 Si tu fais un long H3117 H6696 siège H8799 H8610 pour t’emparer H8800 H5892 d’une ville H3898 avec laquelle tu es en guerre H8736 H7843 , tu ne détruiras H8686 H6086 point les arbres H5080 en y portant H8800 H1631 la hache H398 , tu t’en nourriras H8799 H3772 et tu ne les abattras H8799 H6086 point ; car l’arbre H7704 des champs H120 est-il un homme H935 pour être H8800 H6440 assiégé H4692 par toi ?

20 H7843 Mais tu pourras détruire H8686 H3772 et abattre H8804 H6086 les arbres H3045 que tu sauras H8799 H6086 ne pas être des arbres H3978 servant à la nourriture H1129 , et en construire H8804 H4692 des retranchements H5892 contre la ville H6213 qui te fait H8802 H4421 la guerre H3381 , jusqu’à ce qu’elle succombe H8800 .

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Когда ты выйдешь на войну против врага твоего и увидишь коней иколесницы и народа более, нежели у тебя, то не бойся их, ибо с тобою Господь Бог твой, Который вывел тебя из земли Египетской. ² Когда же приступаете к сражению, тогда пусть подойдет священник, и говорит народу, ³ и скажет ему: слушай, Израиль! вы сегодня вступаете в сражение сврагами вашими, да не ослабеет сердце ваше, не бойтесь, не смущайтесь ине ужасайтесь их, ⁴ ибо Господь Бог ваш идет с вами, чтобы сразиться за вас с врагамивашими и спасти вас. ⁵ Надзиратели же пусть объявят народу, говоря: кто построил новый дом и не обновил его, тот пусть идет и возвратитсяв дом свой, дабы не умер на сражении, и другой не обновил его; ⁶ и кто насадил виноградник и не пользовался им, тот пусть идет ивозвратится в дом свой, дабы не умер на сражении, и другой не воспользовался им; ⁷ и кто обручился с женою и не взял ее, тот пусть идет и возвратится в дом свой, дабы не умер на сражении, и другой не взял ее. ⁸ И еще объявят надзиратели народу, и скажут: кто боязлив и малодушен, тот пусть идет и возвратится в дом свой, дабы онне сделал робкими сердца братьев его, как его сердце. ⁹ Когда надзиратели скажут все это народу, тогда должно поставить военных начальников в вожди народу. ¹⁰ Когда подойдешь к городу, чтобы завоевать его, предложи ему мир; ¹¹ если он согласится на мир с тобою и отворит тебе ворота , то весь народ, который найдется в нем, будет платить тебе дань и служить тебе; ¹² если же он не согласится на мир с тобою и будет вести с тобою войну, то осади его, ¹³ и когда Господь Бог твой предаст его в руки твои, порази в нем весь мужеский пол острием меча; ¹⁴ только жен и детей и скот и все, что в городе, всю добычу его возьми себе и пользуйся добычею врагов твоих, которых предал тебе Господь Бог твой; ¹⁵ так поступай со всеми городами, которые от тебя весьма далеко, которые не из числа городов народов сих. ¹⁶ А в городах сих народов, которых Господь Бог твой дает тебе во владение, не оставляй в живых ни одной души, ¹⁷ но предай их заклятию: Хеттеев и Аморреев, и Хананеев, и Ферезеев, и Евеев, и Иевусеев, как повелел тебе Господь Бог твой, ¹⁸ дабы они не научили вас делать такие же мерзости, какие они делали для богов своих, и дабы вы не грешили пред Господом Богом вашим. ¹⁹ Если долгое время будешь держать в осаде какой-нибудь город, чтобы завоевать его и взять его, то не порти дерев его, от которых можно питаться, и не опустошай окрестностей, ибо дерево на поле не человек, чтобы могло уйти от тебя в укрепление; ²⁰ только те дерева, о которых ты знаешь, что они ничего не приносят в пищу, можешь портить и рубить, и строить укрепление против города, которыйведет с тобою войну, доколе не покоришь его.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ اذا خرجت للحرب على عدوك ورأيت خيلا ومراكب قوما اكثر منك فلا تخف منهم لان معك الرب الهك الذي اصعدك من ارض مصر. ² وعندما تقربون من الحرب يتقدم الكاهن ويخاطب الشعب ³ ويقول لهم اسمع يا اسرائيل. انتم قربتم اليوم من الحرب على اعدائكم. لا تضعف قلوبكم. لا تخافوا ولا ترتعدوا ولا ترهبوا وجوههم. ⁴ لان الرب الهكم سائر معكم لكي يحارب عنكم اعداءكم ليخلصكم. ⁵ ثم يخاطب العرفاء الشعب قائلين من هو الرجل الذي بنى بيتا جديدا ولم يدشنه. ليذهب ويرجع الى بيته لئلا يموت في الحرب فيدشنه رجل آخر. ⁶ ومن هو الرجل الذي غرس كرما ولم يبتكره. ليذهب ويرجع الى بيته لئلا يموت في الحرب فيبتكره رجل آخر. ⁷ ومن هو الرجل الذي خطب امرأة ولم يأخذها. ليذهب ويرجع الى بيته لئلا يموت في الحرب فياخذها رجل آخر. ⁸ ثم يعود العرفاء يخاطبون الشعب ويقولون من هو الرجل الخائف والضعيف القلب. ليذهب ويرجع الى بيته لئلا تذوب قلوب اخوته مثل قلبه. ⁹ وعند فراغ العرفاء من مخاطبة الشعب يقيمون رؤساء جنود على راس الشعب. ¹⁰ حين تقرب من مدينة لكي تحاربها استدعها الى الصلح. ¹¹ فان اجابتك الى الصلح وفتحت لك فكل الشعب الموجود فيها يكون لك للتسخير ويستعبد لك. ¹² وان لم تسالمك بل عملت معك حربا فحاصرها. ¹³ واذا دفعها الرب الهك الى يدك فاضرب جميع ذكورها بحد السيف. ¹⁴ واما النساء والاطفال والبهائم وكل ما في المدينة كل غنيمتها فتغتنمها لنفسك وتأكل غنيمة اعدائك التي اعطاك الرب الهك. ¹⁵ هكذا تفعل بجميع المدن البعيدة منك جدا التي ليست من مدن هؤلاء الامم هنا. ¹⁶ واما مدن هؤلاء الشعوب التي يعطيك الرب الهك نصيبا فلا تستبق منها نسمة ما ¹⁷ بل تحرّمها تحريما الحثيين والاموريين والكنعانيين والفرزّيين والحوّيين واليبوسيين كما امرك الرب الهك ¹⁸ لكي لا يعلّموكم ان تعملوا حسب جميع ارجاسهم التي عملوا لآلهتهم فتخطئوا الى الرب الهكم ¹⁹ اذا حاصرت مدينة اياما كثيرة محاربا اياها لكي تأخذها فلا تتلف شجرها بوضع فاس عليه. انك منه تأكل. فلا تقطعه. لانه هل شجرة الحقل انسان حتى يذهب قدامك في الحصار. ²⁰ واما الشجر الذي تعرف انه ليس شجرا يؤكل منه فاياه تتلف وتقطع وتبني حصنا على المدينة التي تعمل معك حربا حتى تسقط

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Когато излезеш на бой против враговете си и видиш коне и колесници, и народ, по-многоброен от теб, да не се плашиш от тях; защото с теб е ГОСПОД, твоят Бог, който те изведе от египетската земя. ² И когато тръгнеш да се биеш, свещеникът да се приближи и да говори на народа, ³ и да му каже: Слушай, Израилю: днес вие излизате да се биете с враговете си. Да не отпада сърцето ви! Не се страхувайте, не треперете и не се ужасявайте от тях, ⁴ защото ГОСПОД, вашият Бог, е този, който върви с вас, за да се бие за вас против враговете ви, за да ви спаси. ⁵ И надзорниците да говорят на народа и да кажат: Кой човек е построил нова къща и не я е осветил? Нека си иде и се върне у дома си, за да не би да умре в боя и друг да я освети. ⁶ И кой човек е насадил лозе и не е ял от плода му? Нека си иде и се върне у дома си, за да не би да умре в боя и друг да яде плода му. ⁷ И кой човек се е сгодил за жена и не я е взел? Нека си иде и се върне у дома си, за да не би да умре в боя и друг да я вземе. ⁸ И надзорниците да говорят на народа и да кажат: Кой човек е страхлив и сърцето му е отпаднало? Нека си иде и се върне у дома си, за да не отпаднат сърцата на братята му като неговото сърце. ⁹ И когато надзорниците свършат да говорят на народа, нека поставят военачалници начело на народа. ¹⁰ Когато се приближиш до някой град, за да воюваш против него, предложи му мир. ¹¹ И ако ти отговори с мир и ти отвори портите си, тогава целият народ, който се намира в него, да ти стане подвластен и да ти служи. ¹² Но ако не сключи мир с теб, а воюва против теб, тогава да го обсадиш. ¹³ И когато ГОСПОД, твоят Бог, го предаде в ръцете ти, да избиеш всички от мъжки пол в него с острието на меча. ¹⁴ А жените, децата, добитъкът и всичко, което се намира в града, цялата му плячка, да заграбиш за себе си; и да ядеш плячката на враговете си, която ГОСПОД, твоят Бог, ти дава. ¹⁵ Така да правиш на всичките градове, които са много далеч от теб, които не са от градовете на тукашните народи. ¹⁶ Но в градовете на тези народи, които ГОСПОД, твоят Бог, ти дава като наследство, да не оставиш живо нищо, което диша, ¹⁷ а непременно да изпълниш над тях проклятието: хетейците и аморейците, и ханаанците, и ферезейците, и евейците, и евусейците, така както ГОСПОД, твоят Бог, ти заповяда; ¹⁸ за да не ви научат да правите според всичките техни гнусотии, които те са правили за боговете си, така че да съгрешите против ГОСПОДА, своя Бог. ¹⁹ Когато обсаждаш някой град за дълго време, докато воюваш против него, за да го превземеш, да не унищожаваш дърветата му, като вдигаш секира срещу тях, защото можеш да ядеш от тях и да не ги изсичаш. Защото човек ли е полското дърво, че да го обсаждаш? ²⁰ Само дърветата, за които знаеш, че не са дървета за храна, тях можеш да унищожаваш и да изсичаш, и да строиш обсадни съоръжения против града, който воюва с теб, докато падне.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ako pođeš u rat na svoje neprijatelje te vidiš konje, kola i narod brojniji od sebe, ne boj ih se! TÓa s tobom je Jahve, Bog tvoj, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske. ² Prije boja neka svećenik istupi i govori narodu. ³ Neka im kaže: 'Čuj, Izraele! Danas polazite u boj na neprijatelje svoje. Neka vam srca ne klonu! Ne plašite se! Ne bojte se! Ne dršćite pred njima! ⁴ TÓa Jahve, Bog vaš, ide s vama da se bori za vas protiv vaših neprijatelja i da vas spasi.' ⁵ Potom neka narodu progovore nadglednici: 'Ima li koga da je sagradio novu kuću a nije se u nju uselio? Neka se vrati kući svojoj da ne pogine u boju pa da se tko drugi u nju ne useli. ⁶ Ima li koga da je zasadio vinograd a još ga nije brao? Neka se vrati domu svome da u boju ne pogine te da mu drugi roda ne obere. ⁷ Ima li koga da se zaručio a nije se oženio? Neka se vrati domu svome da u boju ne pogine te da mu tko drugi zaručnice ne odvede.' ⁸ Neka nadglednici nastave te narodu kažu: 'Tko se boji i kome srce trne, neka se vrati domu svome da ne trne srce njegovoj braći kao njemu.' ⁹ Kad nadglednici završe govor narodu, neka vojni zapovjednici stanu na čelo naroda. ¹⁰ Kada dođeš pod koji grad da na nj navališ, najprije mu ponudi mir. ¹¹ Ako ti odgovori mirom i otvori ti vrata svoja, sav narod što se nađe u njemu podvrgni tlaki neka za te radi. ¹² Ali ako odbije tvoj mir i zarati s tobom, opsjedni ga. ¹³ Kad ti ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, preda u ruke, sve njegove muškarce pobij oštrim mačem! ¹⁴ A žene, djecu, stoku, sve što bude u gradu - sav plijen - uzmi sebi i uživaj plijen od svojih neprijatelja što ti ga daje Jahve, Bog tvoj. ¹⁵ Tako čini sa svim gradovima koji budu vrlo daleko od tebe, koji ne budu gradovi ovih naroda odavde. ¹⁶ U gradovima onih naroda koje ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, preda u baštinu ništa ne ostavljaj na životu ¹⁷ nego ih udari 'heremom' - kletim uništenjem: Hetite i Amorejce, Kanaance i Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce, kako ti je Jahve, Bog tvoj, naredio, ¹⁸ tako da vas ne nauče činiti sve one odvratnosti što ih čine svojim bogovima te da ne sagriješite protiv Jahve, Boga svoga. ¹⁹ Kad navališ na kakav grad pa ga moradneš dugo opsjedati da ga osvojiš, nemoj uništavati njegovih stabala zasijecajući u njih sjekirom. Možeš im jesti plod, a nemoj ih sjeći. Jer poljska stabla nisu ljudi da bi ispred tebe mogla bježati u utvrdu. ²⁰ Jedino stabla za koja znaš da nisu voćke možeš ništiti; njih možeš sjeći i od njih praviti naprave za opsadu grada koji je u ratu protiv tebe dok ne padne.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Koskas menet sotaan vihollisias vastaan, ja näet hevoset ja vaunut, ja kansan joka on suurempi sinua, niin älä pelkää heitä; sillä Herra sinun Jumalas, joka sinun johdatti ulos Egyptin maalta, on sinun kanssas. ² Ja kuin te lähestytte sotaa, niin astukaan pappi edes ja puhukaan kansalle, ³ Ja sanokaan heille: kuule Israel, te menette tänäpänä sotaan vihollisianne vastaan: älkään sydämenne pehmetkö, älkäät peljätkö, älkäät vavisko, älkäät myös hämmästykö heidän edessänsä. ⁴ Sillä Herra teidän Jumalanne käy kanssanne, sotimaan edestänne vihollisianne vastaan, ja auttaa teitä. ⁵ Vaan sodan päämiehet puhutelkaan kansaa ja sanokaan: joka uuden huoneen on rakentanut, ja ei siinä vielä ruvennut asumaan, hän menkään pois ja palatkaan kotiansa, ettei hän kuolisi sodassa, ja joku toinen omistais sen. ⁶ Ja se joka istutti viinamäen, ja ei vielä sitä tehnyt yhteiseksi, hän menkään pois ja palatkaan kotiansa, ettei hän kuolisi sodassa ja toinen tekis sen yhteiseksi. ⁷ Jos joku on hänellensä vaimon kihlannut, ja ei ottanut häntä tykönsä, hän menkään pois ja palatkaan kotiansa, ettei hän kuolisi sodassa, ja toinen nais häntä. ⁸ Ja sodan päämiehet vielä puhukaan kansalle ja sanokaan: joka pelkuri on ja vapisevaisella sydämellä, hän menkään pois ja palatkaan kotiansa, ettei hän saattaisi veljeinsä sydämiä pelkuriksi, niinkuin hänen sydämensä on. ⁹ Ja sittekuin sodan päämiehet lopettaneet ovat kansalle puheensa, niin he asettakaan sotajoukon ylimmäiset ensimäiseksi kansan sekaan. ¹⁰ Kuin mene jonkun kaupungin eteen, sotimaan sitä vastaan, niin taritse heille rauhaa. ¹¹ Ja jos he sinua rauhallisesti vastaavat ja avaavat etees, niin olkaan kaikki kansa joka siinä on, sinulle verollinen ja palvelkaan sinua. ¹² Vaan jos ei he tee rauhaa sinun kanssas, vaan sotivat sinua vastaan, niin ahdista heitä. ¹³ Ja kuin Herra sinun Jumalas antaa heidät sinun käsiis, niin lyö kuoliaaksi kaikki miehenpuoli miekan terällä. ¹⁴ Mutta vaimot, lapset ja eläimet, ja kaikki ne jotka kaupungissa ovat, ja kaikki saalis ota itselles, ja syö vihollistes saalista, kuin Herra sinun Jumalas antaa sinulle. ¹⁵ Ja tee niin jokaiselle kaupungille, joka sinusta aivan kaukana on, ja ei ole näiden kansain kaupunkia. ¹⁶ Mutta näiden kansain kaupungeissa, jotka Herra sinun Jumalas sinulle perimiseksi antaa, älä jätä elämään yhtäkään henkeä; ¹⁷ Vaan hukuta ne peräti: nimittäin Hetiläiset, Amorilaiset, Kanaanealaiset, Pheresiläiset, Heviläiset ja Jebusilaiset, niinkuin Herran sinun Jumalas sinulle on käskenyt, ¹⁸ Ettei he opettaisi teitä tekemään kaikkia niitä kauhistuksia, joita he tekivät jumalillensa, ettette myös tekisi syntiä Herraa teidän Jumalaanne vastaan. ¹⁹ Jos sinä kauvan olet jonkun kaupungin edessä, jota vastaan sinä sodit omistaakses sitä, niin älä hävitä sen puita, älä myös kirveellä raiskaa niitä; sillä sinä saat niistä syödä, sentähden älä hakkaa niitä maahan; sillä ihmisellä on metsäpuitakin, tulemaan varustukseksi sinun etees. ²⁰ Vaan ne puut, joista tiedät, ettei ne ole syötäviä, hävitä ja hakkaa maahan, ja rakenna varustus kaupunkia vastaan, jonka kanssa sinä sodit, siksi kuin sinä voitat sen.

Te ryhdytte nyt taisteluun vihollisianne vastaan. Älkää arkailko, älkää peljätkö älkääkä hätääntykö, älkää säikähtykö heitä; ⁴ sillä Herra, teidän Jumalanne, käy teidän kanssanne, sotii teidän puolestanne vihollisianne vastaan ja antaa teille voiton.' ⁵ Ja päällysmiehet puhukoot kansalle ja sanokoot: 'Joka on rakentanut uuden talon, mutta ei vielä ole sitä vihkinyt, menköön ja palatkoon kotiinsa, ettei hän kaatuisi taistelussa ja joku toinen vihkisi sitä. ⁶ Joka on istuttanut viinitarhan, mutta ei vielä ole korjannut sen ensi hedelmää, menköön ja palatkoon kotiinsa, ettei hän kaatuisi taistelussa ja joku toinen korjaisi sen ensi hedelmää. ⁷ Joka on kihlannut naisen, mutta ei vielä ole ottanut häntä vaimoksensa, menköön ja palatkoon kotiinsa, ettei hän kaatuisi taistelussa ja joku toinen ottaisi hänen morsiantaan vaimoksensa.' ⁸ Vielä puhukoot päällysmiehet kansalle ja sanokoot: 'Joka pelkää ja arkailee, menköön ja palatkoon kotiinsa, etteivät hänen veljensäkin menettäisi rohkeuttaan niinkuin hän'. ⁹ Ja kun päällysmiehet ovat tämän kaiken kansalle puhuneet, asettakoot he osastopäälliköt väen johtoon. ¹⁰ Kun lähestyt jotakin kaupunkia sotiaksesi sitä vastaan, tarjoa sille ensin rauhaa. ¹¹ Ja jos se suostuu tarjoamaasi rauhaan ja avaa sinulle porttinsa, suorittakoon kaikki siellä oleva kansa sinulle työveroa ja palvelkoon sinua. ¹² Mutta jos se ei tee rauhaa sinun kanssasi, vaan valmistautuu taistelemaan sinua vastaan, niin piiritä sitä. ¹³ Ja jos Herra, sinun Jumalasi, antaa sen sinun käsiisi, niin surmaa kaikki sen miesväki miekan terällä. ¹⁴ Mutta naiset, lapset ja karja ja kaikki, mitä kaupungissa on, kaikki, mitä sieltä on saatavana saalista, ryöstä itsellesi, ja nauti vihollisiltasi saatu saalis, minkä Herra, sinun Jumalasi, sinulle antaa. ¹⁵ Tee näin kaikille niille kaupungeille, jotka ovat sinusta hyvin kaukana, jotka eivät ole näiden kansojen kaupunkeja. ¹⁶ Mutta näiden kansojen kaupungeissa, jotka Herra, sinun Jumalasi, antaa sinulle perintöosaksi, älä jätä ainoatakaan henkeä eloon, ¹⁷ vaan vihi ne tuhon omiksi: heettiläiset ja amorilaiset, kanaanilaiset ja perissiläiset, hivviläiset ja jebusilaiset, niinkuin Herra, sinun Jumalasi, on sinua käskenyt, ¹⁸ etteivät he opettaisi teitä tekemään kaikkia niitä kauhistavia tekoja, joita he ovat tehneet palvellessaan jumaliansa, ja ettette te rikkoisi Herraa, teidän Jumalaanne, vastaan. ¹⁹ Jos joudut kauan piirittämään kaupunkia ja sotimaan sitä vastaan valloittaaksesi sen, niin älä hävitä sen puita äläkä heiluta kirvestäsi niitä vastaan. Niiden hedelmiä saat nauttia, mutta älä hakkaa niitä maahan, sillä eivät kedon puut ole ihmisiä joutuakseen sinun piiritettäviksesi. ²⁰ Ainoastaan ne puut, joista tiedät, että niissä ei ole mitään syötävää, saat hävittää ja hakata maahan, rakentaaksesi niistä varustuksia sinun kanssasi sotivaa kaupunkia vastaan, kunnes se kukistuu."

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Lè nou soti pou n' al goumen kont lènmi nou yo, epi nou wè yo gen plis chwal, plis cha lagè ak plis moun pase nou, nou pa bezwen pè, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, li menm ki te fè nou moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, l'ap kanpe la avèk nou. ² Lè lè batay la rive, prèt la va vanse, l'a pale ak sòlda yo. ³ L'a di yo: -Koute byen, moun Izrayèl yo: Jòdi a nou pral goumen kont lènmi nou yo. Kè nou pa bezwen sote. Nou pa bezwen pè, nou pa bezwen tranble, ni nou pa bezwen kouri pou yo. ⁴ Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mache avèk nou. L'a goumen pou nou kont lènmi nou yo pou l' fè nou genyen batay la. ⁵ Apre sa, chèf yo va pale ak sòlda yo. Y'a di yo: -Eske gen yon moun la a ki fèk fin bati yon kay, men ki poko fè sèvis pou mete kay la apa pou Bondye? Si gen yon moun konsa, pito l' al fè wout li lakay li, paske li ka mouri nan goumen an, epi se yon lòt moun ki va fè sèvis pou mete kay la apa pou Bondye. ⁶ Eske gen yon moun la a ki fèk plante yon jaden rezen epi ki poko gen chans fè yon rekòt rezen menm? Si gen yon moun konsa, pito l' al fè wout li lakay li, paske li ka mouri nan batay la, epi se va yon lòt moun ki va jwi jaden rezen l' lan. ⁷ Eske gen yon moun isit la ki fiyanse pou l' marye? Si gen yon moun konsa, pito l' al fè wout li lakay li, paske li ka mouri nan lagè a epi se yon lòt moun ki va marye ak fiyanse l' la. ⁸ Apre sa, chèf yo va di sòlda yo ankò: -Eske gen yon moun la a ki pè, ki santi li pa gen kouraj pou l' al goumen? Si gen yon moun konsa, pito l' al fè wout li lakay li, paske li ka kraze kouraj lòt yo tou. ⁹ Lè chèf yo va fin pale konsa ak sòlda yo, y'a chwazi yon kaptenn pou chak divizyon pou mache alatèt lame a. ¹⁰ Lè n'ap pwoche bò yon lavil pou n' atake l', premye bagay n'a fè, n'a mande l' pou l' fè lapè ak nou. ¹¹ Si yo dakò, si yo louvri pòtay lavil la ban nou, tout moun nan lavil la va travay fè kòve pou nou, y'a tounen esklav nou. ¹² Men, si yo refize fè lapè ak nou epi yo mande goumen, n'a sènen lavil la toupatou epi n'a atake l'. ¹³ Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va lage l' nan men nou. Epi n'a touye dènye gason ki nan lavil la. ¹⁴ Men, n'a pran tout fanm yo, tout pitit yo, tout bèt yo ak tou sa ki nan lavil la, ak tout byen lènmi yo va kite pou nou. N'a manje tou sa n'a pran nan men lènmi nou yo paske se Seyè a menm ki ban nou yo. ¹⁵ Se konsa n'a fè sa pou tout lavil ki byen lwen nou, andeyò limit peyi Seyè a ban nou pou nou rete a. ¹⁶ Men, lè nou pran yon lavil ki nan limit peyi Seyè a ap ban nou pou nou rete a, se pou nou touye tou sa ki vivan ladan l'. ¹⁷ Se pou nou touye tout moun sa yo: moun Et yo, moun Amori yo, moun Kanaran yo, moun Ferèz yo, moun Ivi yo, moun Jebis vo. Se pou nou ofri yo bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te ban nou lòd la. ¹⁸ Se pou nou disparèt yo pou yo pa fè nou tonbe nan peche kont Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou yo pa moutre nou fè tout vye bagay lèd y'ap fè pou bondye pa yo. ¹⁹ Si lè n'ap atake yon lavil nou wè nou blije sènen l' pandan lontan anvan pou nou ka pran l', piga nou koupe ankenn pyebwa ki bay fwi, paske nou ka bezwen fwi yo pou nou manje. Pa koupe pyebwa yo. Se pyebwa ase yo ye, se pa moun yo ye. Ou pa ka aji avèk yo tankou moun ki nan lavil ou sènen an. ²⁰ Men, nou gen dwa debranche pyebwa ki pa bay fwi, nou ka koupe yo, nou ka sèvi ak yo pou fè zouti pou atake lavil la jouk lavil la va tonbe nan men nou.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ "Apabila kamu pergi berperang melawan musuh-musuhmu, jangan takut melihat kereta perang dan kuda mereka yang banyak serta tentara mereka yang jumlahnya melebihi jumlahmu. TUHAN Allahmu yang membebaskan kamu dari Mesir, juga akan menolong kamu. ² Sebelum mulai berperang, seorang imam harus maju dan berbicara kepadamu begini, ³ 'Saudara-saudara, dengarlah! Hari ini kamu maju berperang. Jangan takut atau berkecil hati atau bingung. ⁴ TUHAN Allahmu akan ikut untuk menolong kamu, dan Ia akan memberi kemenangan kepadamu.' ⁵ Kemudian para perwira harus menyampaikan kata-kata ini kepadamu, 'Adakah di antara kamu orang yang baru saja membangun rumah, tetapi belum mengadakan upacara peresmiannya? Kalau ada, ia boleh pulang. Sebab kalau ia terbunuh dalam peperangan, orang lain akan menempati rumahnya. ⁶ Adakah di antara kamu orang yang baru saja menanami kebun anggurnya dan belum sempat memetik buah-buah anggurnya? Kalau ada, ia boleh pulang. Sebab kalau ia terbunuh dalam peperangan, orang lain akan menikmati air anggurnya. ⁷ Adakah di antara kamu orang yang bertunangan dan hendak kawin? Kalau ada, ia boleh pulang. Sebab kalau ia terbunuh dalam peperangan, orang lain akan kawin dengan tunangannya.' ⁸ Para perwira juga harus mengatakan ini kepadamu, 'Adakah di antara kamu orang gugup dan takut? Kalau ada, ia boleh pulang, supaya ia jangan merusak semangat orang lain.' ⁹ Sesudah para perwira berbicara kepada tentara, harus ditunjuk pemimpin-pemimpin untuk setiap kesatuan. ¹⁰ Apabila kamu pergi untuk menyerang sebuah kota, berilah dahulu kesempatan kepada penduduknya untuk menyerah. ¹¹ Kalau mereka membuka pintu-pintu gerbang dan menyerah, mereka semua harus menjadi hamba-hambamu dan melakukan kerja paksa untukmu. ¹² Tetapi kalau penduduk kota itu tidak mau menyerah dan lebih suka berperang, kamu harus mengepung kota itu. ¹³ Kemudian, apabila TUHAN Allahmu memungkinkan kamu merebut kota itu, kamu harus membunuh seluruh penduduknya yang laki-laki. ¹⁴ Tetapi kamu boleh mengambil kaum wanita, anak-anak, ternak dan apa saja yang ada di kota itu. Segala harta benda musuh-musuhmu itu boleh kamu pakai. TUHAN Allahmu menyerahkan itu kepadamu. ¹⁵ Begitulah harus kamu perlakukan kota-kota yang jauh dari negeri kediamanmu. ¹⁶ Tetapi kalau kota itu ada di dalam wilayah yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu, seluruh penduduknya harus dibunuh. ¹⁷ Seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN Allahmu, kamu harus membinasakan orang-orang Het, Amori, Kanaan, Feris, Hewi dan Yebus. ¹⁸ Bunuhlah mereka, supaya mereka tidak membuat kamu berdosa terhadap TUHAN Allahmu dengan mengajar kamu melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan menjijikkan bagi ilah-ilah mereka. ¹⁹ Apabila kamu memerangi sebuah kota dan mengepungnya untuk waktu yang lama, janganlah menebang pohon buah-buahan di situ. Makanlah buah-buahnya, tetapi jangan rusakkan pohonnya, sebab pohon-pohon itu bukan musuhmu. ²⁰ Pohon-pohon lain boleh kamu tebang untuk dijadikan pagar pengepungan sampai kota itu sudah jatuh."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ QUANDO tu uscirai in guerra contro a’ tuoi nemici, e vedrai cavalli e carri, e gente in maggior numero di te, non temer però di loro; conciossiachè il Signore Iddio tuo, che t’ha tratto fuor del paese di Egitto, sia teco. ² E quando vi appresserete per dar la battaglia, facciasi il Sacerdote innanzi, e parli al popolo, ³ e dicagli: Ascolta, Israele: Voi siete oggi vicini a venire a battaglia co’ vostri nemici; il cuor vostro non s’invilisca; non temiate, e non vi smarrite, nè vi spaventate per tema di loro; ⁴ perciocchè il Signore Iddio vostro è quel che cammina con voi, per combatter per voi contro a’ vostri nemici, per salvarvi. ⁵ Parlino eziandio gli Ufficiali al popolo, dicendo: Chi è colui che abbia edificata una casa nuova, e non l’abbia ancora dedicata? vada, e ritorni a casa sua, che talora egli non muoia nella battaglia, e un altro dedichi la sua casa. ⁶ E chi è colui che abbia piantata una vigna, e non l’abbia ancora cominciata a godere in uso comune? vada, e ritorni a casa sua, che talora egli non muoia nella battaglia, e un altro cominci a goderla. ⁷ E chi è colui che abbia sposata una moglie, e non l’abbia ancora menata? vada, e ritorni a casa sua, che talora egli non muoia nella battaglia, e un altro la meni. ⁸ Gli Ufficiali parlino ancora al popolo, e dicano: Chi è timido, e di poco cuore? vada e ritorni a casa sua, acciocchè i suoi fratelli non s’inviliscano di cuore come esso. ⁹ E, dopo che gli Ufficiali avranno finito di parlare al popolo, ordinino i Capi delle schiere in capo del popolo. ¹⁰ Quando tu ti accosterai a una città per combatterla, chiamala prima a pace. ¹¹ E se ti dà risposta di pace, e ti apre le porte, tutto il popolo che in essa si troverà, siati tributario e soggetto. ¹² Ma, s’ella non fa pace teco, anzi guerreggia contro a te, assediala; ¹³ e il Signore Iddio tuo te la darà nelle mani; allora metti a fil di spada tutti i maschi. ¹⁴ Predati sol le femmine, e i piccoli fanciulli, e il bestiame, e tutto quello che sarà nella città, tutte le spoglie di essa; e mangia della preda de’ tuoi nemici che il Signore Iddio tuo ti avrà data. ¹⁵ Fai così a tutte le città che saranno molto lontane da te, che non saranno delle città di queste genti. ¹⁶ Ma delle città di questi popoli, le quali il Signore Iddio tuo ti dà per eredità, non iscampar la vita ad alcun’anima vivente; ¹⁷ anzi del tutto distruggi que’ popoli al modo dell’interdetto; gli Hittei, e gli Amorrei, e i Cananei, e i Ferizzei, e gli Hivvei, e i Gebusei; come il Signore Iddio tuo ti ha comandato; ¹⁸ acciocchè non v’insegnino a far secondo tutte le loro abbominazioni che hanno usate inverso i loro iddii; e che voi non pecchiate contro al Signore Iddio vostro. ¹⁹ Quando tu terrai l’assedio a una città lungo tempo, combattendola per pigliarla, non guastar gli alberi di essa, avventando la scure contro a essi; perciocchè d’essi potrai mangiare, e però non tagliarli; perciocchè è forse l’albero della campagna un uomo, per entrar dentro alla fortezza, fuggendo d’innanzi a te? ²⁰ Sol potrai guastare, e tagliar gli alberi che tu conoscerai non essere alberi da mangiare; e ne potrai fabbricar ciò che sarà necessario all’assedio della città che guerreggerà contro a te, fin ch’ella caggia.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Quando andrai alla guerra contro i tuoi nemici e vedrai cavalli e carri e gente in maggior numero di te, non li temere, perché l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, che ti fece salire dal paese d’Egitto, è teco. ² E quando sarete sul punto di dar battaglia, il sacerdote si farà avanti, parlerà al popolo ³ e gli dirà: "Ascolta, Israele! Voi state oggi per impegnar battaglia coi vostri nemici; il vostro cuore non venga meno; non temete, non vi smarrite e non vi spaventate dinanzi a loro, ⁴ perché l’Eterno, il vostro Dio, è colui che marcia con voi per combattere per voi contro i vostri nemici, e per salvarvi". ⁵ Poi gli ufficiali parleranno al popolo, dicendo: "C’è qualcuno che abbia edificata una casa nuova e non l’abbia ancora inaugurata? Vada, torni a casa sua, onde non abbia a morire in battaglia, e un altro inauguri la casa. ⁶ C’è qualcuno che abbia piantato una vigna e non ne abbia ancora goduto il frutto? Vada, torni a casa sua, onde non abbia a morire in battaglia, e un altro ne goda il frutto. ⁷ C’è qualcuno che si sia fidanzato con una donna e non l’abbia ancora presa? Vada, torni a casa sua, onde non abbia a morire in battaglia, e un altro se la prenda". ⁸ E gli ufficiali parleranno ancora al popolo, dicendo: "C’è qualcuno che abbia paura e senta venirgli meno il cuore? Vada, torni a casa sua, onde il cuore de’ suoi fratelli non abbia ad avvilirsi come il suo". ⁹ E come gli ufficiali avranno finito di parlare al popolo, costituiranno i capi delle schiere alla testa del popolo. ¹⁰ Quando ti avvicinerai a una città per attaccarla, le offrirai prima la pace. ¹¹ E se acconsente alla pace e t’apre le sue porte, tutto il popolo che vi si troverà ti sarà tributario e soggetto. ¹² Ma s’essa non vuol far pace teco e ti vuol far guerra, allora l’assedierai; ¹³ e quando l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, te l’avrà data nelle mani, ne metterai a fil di spada tutti i maschi; ¹⁴ ma le donne, i bambini, il bestiame e tutto ciò che sarà nella città, tutto quanto il suo bottino, te li prenderai come tua preda; e mangerai il bottino de’ tuoi nemici, che l’Eterno, l’Iddio tuo, t’avrà dato. ¹⁵ Così farai per tutte le città che sono molto lontane da te, e che non sono città di queste nazioni. ¹⁶ Ma nelle città di questi popoli che l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, ti da come eredità, non conserverai in vita nulla che respiri; ¹⁷ ma voterai a completo sterminio gli Hittei, gli Amorei, i Cananei, i Ferezei, gli Hivvei e i Gebusei, come l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, ti ha comandato di fare; ¹⁸ affinché essi non v’insegnino a imitare tutte le abominazioni che fanno per i loro dèi, e voi non pecchiate contro l’Eterno, ch’è il vostro Dio. ¹⁹ Quando cingerai d’assedio una città per lungo tempo, attaccandola per prenderla, non ne distruggerai gli alberi a colpi di scure; ne mangerai il frutto, ma non li abbatterai; poiché l’albero della campagna è forse un uomo che tu l’abbia ad includere nell’assedio? ²⁰ Potrai però distruggere e abbattere gli alberi che saprai non esser alberi da frutto, e ne costruirai delle opere d’assedio contro la città che fa guerra teco, finch’essa cada.

Să nu vi se turbure inima, fiţi fără teamă, nu vă spăimîntaţi, nu vă îngroziţi dinaintea lor. ⁴ Căci Domnul, Dumnezeul vostru, merge cu voi, ca să bată pe vrăjmaşii voştri, ca să vă mîntuiască. ⁵ Mai marii oştirii să vorbească apoi poporului şi să zică:,,Cine a zidit o casă nouă, şi nu s'a aşezat încă în ea, să plece şi să se întoarcă acasă, ca să nu moară în luptă şi să se aşeze altul în ea. ⁶ Cine a sădit o vie, şi n'a mîncat încă din ea, să plece şi să se întoarcă acasă, ca să nu moară în luptă şi să mănînce altul din ea. ⁷ Cine s'a logodit cu o femeie, şi n'a luat -o încă, să plece şi să se întoarcă acasă, ca să nu moară în luptă şi s'o ia altul``. ⁸ Mai marii oştirii să vorbească mai departe poporului, şi să spună:,,Cine este fricos şi slab la inimă, să plece şi să se întoarcă acasă, ca să nu moaie inima fraţilor lui``. ⁹ După ce mai marii oştirii vor isprăvi de vorbit poporului, să aşeze pe căpeteniile oştirii în fruntea poporului. ¹⁰ Cînd te vei apropia de o cetate ca să te baţi împotriva ei, s'o îmbii cu pace. ¹¹ Dacă primeşte pacea şi-ţi deschide porţile, tot poporul care se va afla în ea să-ţi dea bir şi să-ţi fie supus. ¹² Dacă nu primeşte pacea cu tine şi vrea să facă război cu tine, atunci s'o împresori. ¹³ Şi dupăce Domnul, Dumnezeul tău, o va da în mînile tale, să treci prin ascuţişul săbiei pe toţi cei de parte bărbătească. ¹⁴ Dar să iei pentru tine nevestele, copiii, vitele, şi tot ce va mai fi în cetate, toată prada, şi să mănînci toată prada vrăjmaşilor tăi, pe cari ţi -i va da în mînă Domnul, Dumnezeul tău. ¹⁵ Aşa să faci cu toate cetăţile cari vor fi foarte departe de tine, şi cari nu fac parte din cetăţile neamurilor acestora. ¹⁶ Dar în cetăţile popoarelor acestora, a căror ţară ţi -o dă ca moştenire Domnul, Dumnezeul tău, să nu laşi cu viaţă nimic care suflă. ¹⁷ Ci să nimiceşti cu desăvîrşire popoarele acelea, pe Hetiţi, pe Amoriţi, pe Cananiţi, pe Fereziţi, pe Heviţi, şi Iebusiţi, cum ţi -a poruncit Domnul, Dumnezeul tău, ¹⁸ ca să nu vă înveţe să faceţi după toate urîciunile pe cari le fac ele pentru dumnezeii lor, şi să păcătuiţi astfel împotriva Domnului, Dumnezeului vostru. ¹⁹ Dacă vei împresura multe zile o cetate cu care eşti în război, ca s'o cucereşti, pomii să nu -i strici, tăindu -i cu securea; să mănînci din ei şi să nu -i tai; căci pomul de pe cîmp este oare un om ca să fie nimicit prin împresurare de tine? ²⁰ Numai copacii pe cari -i vei şti că nu sînt pomi buni de mîncat, vei putea să -i strici şi să -i tai, şi vei putea să faci cu ei întărituri împotriva cetăţii care este în război cu tine, pînă va cădea.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Коли ти вийдеш на війну проти свого ворога, та побачиш коні й вози, та народ, численніший від тебе, то не будеш боятися їх, бо з тобою Господь, Бог твій, що вивів тебе з єгипетського краю. ² І станеться, коли ви приступите до бою, то підійде священик і буде промовляти до народу, ³ та й скаже до них: Слухай, Ізраїлю, ви приступаєте сьогодні до бою проти ваших ворогів. Нехай не зм'якне серце ваше, не бійтеся, і не страшіться, і не лякайтеся їх, ⁴ бо Господь, Бог ваш, Він Той, що йде з вами воювати для вас з вашими ворогами, щоб спасти вас! ⁵ А урядники будуть промовляти до народу, говорячи: Хто є тут такий, що збудував новий дім, та не справив обряду поновин? Нехай він іде й вертається до свого дому, щоб не померти на війні, і щоб інший хто не справив на ньому обряду поновин. ⁶ І хто є тут такий, що засадив виноградника та не користався ним? Нехай він іде й вертається до свого дому, щоб не померти на війні, і щоб інший хто не скористався ним. ⁷ А хто є тут такий, що засватав жінку, та не взяв її? Нехай він іде й вертається до свого дому, щоб не померти на війні, і щоб інший хто не взяв її. ⁸ І далі промовлятимуть урядники до народу та й скажуть: Хто є тут такий, що лякливий та м'якосердий? Нехай він іде й вертається до свого дому, щоб не розслабив він серця братів своїх, як є серце його. ⁹ І станеться, коли урядники закінчать промовляти до народу, то призначать зверхників для військових відділів на чоло народу. ¹⁰ Коли ти приступиш до міста, щоб воювати з ним, то запропонуй йому перше мир. ¹¹ І станеться, якщо воно відповість тобі: Мир, і відчинить браму тобі, то ввесь той народ, що знаходиться в ньому, буде тобі на данину, і буде служити тобі. ¹² А якщо воно не замирить з тобою, і буде провадити з тобою війну, то обложиш його. ¹³ І Господь, Бог твій, дасть його в руку твою, а ти повбиваєш усю чоловічу стать його вістрям меча. ¹⁴ Тільки жінок, і дітей, і худобу, і все, що буде в тім місті, всю здобич його забереш собі, і будеш ти їсти здобич ворогів своїх, що дав тобі Господь, Бог твій. ¹⁵ Так ти зробиш усім містам, дуже далеким від тебе, що вони не з міст цих народів. ¹⁶ Тільки з міст тих народів, які Господь, Бог твій, дає тобі на володіння, не позоставиш при житті жодної душі, ¹⁷ бо конче вчиниш їх закляттям: Хіттеянина, і Амореянина, і Ханаанеянина, і Періззеянина, і Хіввеянина, і Євусеянина, як наказав був тобі Господь, Бог твій, ¹⁸ щоб вони не навчили вас робити такого, як усі їхні гидоти, що робили вони богам своїм, бо тоді згрішите ви перед Господом, Богом своїм. ¹⁹ Коли будеш облягати місто багато днів, щоб воювати з ним та щоб здобути його, то не знищиш його дерева, і не піднесеш сокири на нього, бо з нього ти їстимеш, і його не будеш стинати, бо чи ж пільне дерево то чоловік, щоб увійти перед тобою до обложеного міста? ²⁰ Тільки дерево, що про нього ти знаєш, що воно не дерево на їжу, його знищиш та зітнеш, і будеш будувати з нього речі облягання проти того міста, яке провадить з тобою війну, аж до упадку його.
