申命記 20
1 當你出征進攻你的仇敵，見到戰馬戰車和比你更多的群眾時，你不必害怕，因為領你出埃及地的上主你的天主與你在一起。
If you will go out to war on enemies your and you will see horse and chariot a people great more than you not you must be afraid from them for Yahweh God your [is] with you who brought up you from [the] land of Egypt.
2 當你們快要交戰時，司祭應上前來，對民眾訓話，
And it will be when draw near you to the battle and he will come near the priest and he will speak to the people.
3 向他們說：「以色列，請聽! 你們今天就要上陣攻打你們的仇敵，你們不要灰心，不要害怕，不要恐慌，不要在他們面前戰慄，
And he will say to them hear O Israel you [are] approaching this day to the battle on enemies your may not be timid heart your may not you be afraid and may not you make haste and may not you be terrified of them.
4 因為上主你們的天主與你們同去，幫助你們攻打你們的仇敵，使你們勝利。」
For Yahweh God your [is] the [one who] goes with you to fight for you with enemies your to give victory you.
5 然後長官對民眾說：「誰若蓋了新房屋，還沒有祝聖，他可回家去，免得他死在戰場，別人來替他祝聖。
And they will say the officials to the people saying who? [is] the man who he has built a house new and not he has dedicated it let him go and let him return to house his lest he should die in the battle and a man another he will dedicate it.
6 誰若栽種了葡萄園，還沒有享用過，他可回家去，免得他死在戰場，別人來替他收穫。
And who? [is] the man who he has planted a vineyard and not he has put to use it let him go and let him return to house his lest he should die in the battle and a man another he will put to use it.
7 誰若與女人訂了婚，還沒有迎娶，他可回家去，免得他死在戰場，別人來娶她。」
And who? [is] the man who he has betrothed a woman and not he has taken her let him go and let him return to house his lest he should die in the battle and a man another he will take her.
8 長官再繼續對民眾致辭說：「誰若害怕灰心，他可回家去，免得他使兄弟的心，如他的一樣沮喪。」
And they will repeat the officials to speak to the people and they will say who? [is] the man fearful and [the] weak of heart let him go and let him return to house his and not it will be melted [the] heart of countrymen his like heart his.
9 長官向民眾訓完話，就派定軍官統率部隊。
And it will be when finish the officials to speak to the people and they will appoint commanders of armies at [the] head of the people.
10 當你臨近一城要進攻時，應先向那城提議和平；
If you will draw near to a city to fight on it and you will proclaim to it to peace.
11 若那地給你和平的答覆，給你開門，城內所有的人民就臣服於你，給你服役。
And it will be if peace it will answer you and it will open to you and it will be all the people which is found in it they will become for you forced labor and they will serve you.
12 如不與你講和，反願與你作戰，你就圍攻。
And if not it will make peace with you and it will make with you war and you will lay siege on it.
13 幾時上主你的天主將城交在你手中，你應用利刃殺盡所有的男人；
And he will give it Yahweh God your in hand your and you will strike down every male its to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
14 至於婦女、嬰兒、牲畜和在城內所有的一切，算是你奪得的勝利品，你可享用你由仇人奪得的勝利品，因為是上主你的天主賜給你的。
Only the women and the little one[s] and the livestock and all that it will be in the city all booty its you will plunder for yourself and you will consume [the] booty of enemies your which he has given Yahweh God your to you.
15 這是你對於離你很遠，且不屬於這些民族的城市的作法。
Thus you will do to all the cities distant from you very which not [are] any of [the] cities of the nations these they.
16 但是在上主你的天主賜給你作產業的這些人民的城市內，你不可讓任何生靈生活，
Only from [the] cities of the peoples these which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance not you will let live any breathing thing.
17 應將他們：即赫特人、阿摩黎人。客納罕人、培黎齊人、希威人和耶步斯人，盡行毀滅，如上主你的天主吩咐你的，
For certainly you will totally destroy them the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] just as he commanded you Yahweh God your.
18 免得他們教你學習他們對自己的神所行的一切可惡之事，使你們得罪上主你們的天主。
So that that not they may teach you to do according to all abominations their which they have done for gods their and you will sin to Yahweh God your.
19 若你圍攻一座城，需要多日纔能攻取佔領，你不可用斧頭砍伐那裏的樹木；你可以吃樹上的果子，卻不可砍倒樹；難道田間的樹可當作你圍攻的敵人看待﹖
If you will lay siege to a city days many to fight on it to capture it not you will destroy tree[s] its by wielding on it an axe for from it you will eat and it not you will cut down for ¿ human [is] [the] tree of the field to go from before you in state of siege.
20 只是那些你不知道不結實的樹木，你可毀壞砍伐，用來建築圍攻的設備，為進攻與你交戰的城市，直到將城攻下。
Only a tree which you will know that [is] not a tree of food it it you will destroy and you will cut down and you will build siege work[s] on the city which it [is] making with you war until falls it.
