اَلتَّثْنِيَة 20
| «إِذَا خَرَجْتَ لِلْحَرْبِ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ وَرَأَيْتَ خَيْلًا وَمَرَاكِبَ، قَوْمًا أَكْثَرَ مِنْكَ، فَلَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُمْ، لِأَنَّ مَعَكَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ١ 1 |
When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than you, be not afraid of them: for the LORD your God is with you, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَقْرُبُونَ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْبِ يَتَقَدَّمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَيُخَاطِبُ ٱلشَّعْبَ | ٢ 2 |
And it shall be, when you are come near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
| وَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ: ٱسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: أَنْتُمْ قَرُبْتُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْبِ عَلَى أَعْدَائِكُمْ. لَا تَضْعُفْ قُلُوبُكُمْ. لَا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَرْتَعِدُوا وَلَا تَرْهَبُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ، | ٣ 3 |
And shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, you approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be you terrified because of them;
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ سَائِرٌ مَعَكُمْ لِكَيْ يُحَارِبَ عَنْكُمْ أَعْدَاءَكُمْ لِيُخَلِّصَكُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
For the LORD your God is he that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
| ثُمَّ يُخَاطِبُ ٱلْعُرَفَاءُ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلِينَ: مَنْ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي بَنَى بَيْتًا جَدِيدًا وَلَمْ يُدَشِّنْهُ؟ لِيَذْهَبْ وَيَرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِئَلَّا يَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ فَيُدَشِّنَهُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ. | ٥ 5 |
And the officers 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 battle, and another man dedicate it.
| وَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي غَرَسَ كَرْمًا وَلَمْ يَبْتَكِرْهُ؟ لِيَذْهَبْ وَيَرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِئَلَّا يَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ فَيَبْتَكِرَهُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ. | ٦ 6 |
And what man is he that has planted a vineyard, and has not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
| وَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي خَطَبَ ٱمْرَأَةً وَلَمْ يَأْخُذْهَا؟ لِيَذْهَبْ وَيَرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِئَلَّا يَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ فَيَأْخُذَهَا رَجُلٌ آخَرُ. | ٧ 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.
| ثُمَّ يَعُودُ ٱلْعُرَفَاءُ يُخَاطِبُونَ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَيَقُولُونَ: مَنْ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْخَائِفُ وَٱلضَّعِيفُ ٱلْقَلْبِ؟ لِيَذْهَبْ وَيَرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِئَلَّا تَذُوبَ قُلُوبُ إِخْوَتِهِ مِثْلَ قَلْبِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren’s heart faint as well as his heart.
| وَعِنْدَ فَرَاغِ ٱلْعُرَفَاءِ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ يُقِيمُونَ رُؤَسَاءَ جُنُودٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٩ 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.
| «حِينَ تَقْرُبُ مِنْ مَدِينَةٍ لِكَيْ تُحَارِبَهَا ٱسْتَدْعِهَا إِلَى ٱلصُّلْحِ، | ١٠ 10 |
When you come near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
| فَإِنْ أَجَابَتْكَ إِلَى ٱلصُّلْحِ وَفَتَحَتْ لَكَ، فَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْمَوْجُودِ فِيهَا يَكُونُ لَكَ لِلتَّسْخِيرِ وَيُسْتَعْبَدُ لَكَ. | ١١ 11 |
And it shall be, if it make you answer of peace, and open to you, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries to you, and they shall serve you.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ تُسَالِمْكَ، بَلْ عَمِلَتْ مَعَكَ حَرْبًا، فَحَاصِرْهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
And if it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it:
| وَإِذَا دَفَعَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى يَدِكَ فَٱضْرِبْ جَمِيعَ ذُكُورِهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And when the LORD your God has delivered it into your hands, you shall smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
| وَأَمَّا ٱلنِّسَاءُ وَٱلْأَطْفَالُ وَٱلْبَهَائِمُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، كُلُّ غَنِيمَتِهَا، فَتَغْتَنِمُهَا لِنَفْسِكَ، وَتَأْكُلُ غَنِيمَةَ أَعْدَائِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. | ١٤ 14 |
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shall you take to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.
| هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ مِنْكَ جِدًّا ٱلَّتِي لَيْسَتْ مِنْ مُدُنِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمِ هُنَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Thus shall you do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
| وَأَمَّا مُدُنُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ نَصِيبًا فَلَا تَسْتَبْقِ مِنْهَا نَسَمَةً مَّا، | ١٦ 16 |
But of the cities of these people, which the LORD your God does give you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes:
| بَلْ تُحَرِّمُهَا تَحْرِيمًا: ٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، كَمَا أَمَرَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، | ١٧ 17 |
But you shall utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD your God has commanded you:
| لِكَيْ لَا يُعَلِّمُوكُمْ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاسِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوا لِآلِهَتِهِمْ، فَتُخْطِئُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so should you sin against the LORD your God.
| «إِذَا حَاصَرْتَ مَدِينَةً أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً مُحَارِبًا إِيَّاهَا لِكَيْ تَأْخُذَهَا، فَلَا تُتْلِفْ شَجَرَهَا بِوَضْعِ فَأْسٍ عَلَيْهِ. إِنَّكَ مِنْهُ تَأْكُلُ. فَلَا تَقْطَعْهُ. لِأَنَّهُ هَلْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلْحَقْلِ إِنْسَانٌ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ قُدَّامَكَ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an ax against them: for you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life) to employ them in the siege:
| وَأَمَّا ٱلشَّجَرُ ٱلَّذِي تَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَجَرًا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْهُ، فَإِيَّاهُ تُتْلِفُ وَتَقْطَعُ وَتَبْنِي حِصْنًا عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُ مَعَكَ حَرْبًا حَتَّى تَسْقُطَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Only the trees which you know that they be not trees for meat, you shall destroy and cut them down; and you shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it be subdued.
