< 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 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.
وَعِنْدَمَا تَقْرُبُونَ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْبِ يَتَقَدَّمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَيُخَاطِبُ ٱلشَّعْبَ | ٢ 2 |
And it shall be when ye are come nigh 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, 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;
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ سَائِرٌ مَعَكُمْ لِكَيْ يُحَارِبَ عَنْكُمْ أَعْدَاءَكُمْ لِيُخَلِّصَكُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 faint-hearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren's heart should 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 thou comest nigh 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 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.
وَإِنْ لَمْ تُسَالِمْكَ، بَلْ عَمِلَتْ مَعَكَ حَرْبًا، فَحَاصِرْهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
وَإِذَا دَفَعَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى يَدِكَ فَٱضْرِبْ جَمِيعَ ذُكُورِهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١٣ 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:
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 of it, shalt thou take to thyself: and thou shalt eat the spoil of thy enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ مِنْكَ جِدًّا ٱلَّتِي لَيْسَتْ مِنْ مُدُنِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمِ هُنَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Thus shalt thou do to all the cities [which are] very distant from thee, 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 thy God doth give thee [for] an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
بَلْ تُحَرِّمُهَا تَحْرِيمًا: ٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، كَمَا أَمَرَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، | ١٧ 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:
لِكَيْ لَا يُعَلِّمُوكُمْ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاسِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوا لِآلِهَتِهِمْ، فَتُخْطِئُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. | ١٨ 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.
«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 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:
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 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.
