Deuteronomy 20
1 And if you should go forth to war against your enemies, and should see 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.
Kad otideš na vojsku na neprijatelja svojega i vidiš konje i kola i narod veæi od sebe, nemoj se uplašiti od njih, jer je s tobom Gospod Bog tvoj, koji te je izveo iz zemlje Misirske.
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,
I kad poðete da se pobijete, neka pristupi sveštenik i progovori narodu,
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.
I neka im reèe: slušaj Izrailju! vi polazite danas u boj na neprijatelje svoje, neka ne trne srce vaše, ne bojte se i ne plašite se, niti se prepadajte od njih.
4 For [it is] the Lord your God who advances with you, to fight with you against your enemies, [and] to save you.
Jer Gospod Bog vaš ide s vama i biæe se za vas s neprijateljima vašim da vas saèuva.
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.
Potom i vojvode neka progovore narodu, i reku: ko je sagradio novu kuæu a nije poèeo sjedjeti u njoj? neka ide, nek se vrati kuæi svojoj, da ne bi poginuo u boju, i drugi poèeo sjedjeti u njoj.
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.
I ko je posadio vinograd a još ga nije brao? neka ide, nek se vrati kuæi svojoj, da ne bi poginuo u boju, i drugi ga brao.
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.
I ko je isprosio djevojku a još je nije odveo? neka ide, nek se vrati kuæi svojoj, da ne bi poginuo u boju, i drugi je odveo.
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.
Još i ovo neka kažu vojvode narodu i reku: ko je strašiv i trne mu srce? neka ide, nek se vrati kuæi svojoj, da ne bi trnulo srce braæi njegovoj kao njemu.
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.
I kad vojvode izgovore narodu, onda neka namjeste glavare od èeta pred narod.
10 And if you shall draw near to a city to overcome them by war, then call them out peaceably.
Kad doðeš pod koji grad da ga biješ, prvo ga ponudi mirom.
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.
Ako ti odgovori mirom i otvori ti vrata, sav narod koji se naðe u njemu neka ti plaæa danak i bude ti pokoran.
12 But if they will not listen to you, but wage war against you, you shall invest it;
Ako li ne uèini mira s tobom nego se stane biti s tobom, tada ga bij.
13 until the Lord your God shall deliver it into your hands, and you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword:
I kad ga Gospod Bog tvoj preda u ruke tvoje, pobij sve muškinje u njemu maèem.
14 except the women and the stuff: and all the cattle, and whatever 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.
A žene i djecu i stoku i što god bude u gradu, sav plijen u njemu, otmi, i jedi plijen od neprijatelja svojih, koji ti da Gospod Bog tvoj.
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.
Tako èini sa svijem gradovima, koji su daleko od tebe i nijesu od gradova ovijeh naroda.
16 [Of these] you shall not take any thing alive;
A u gradovima ovijeh naroda, koje ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo, ne ostavi u životu nijedne duše žive.
17 but you 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 your God commanded you:
Nego ih zatri sasvijem, Heteje i Amoreje i Hananeje i Ferezeje i Jeveje i Jevuseje, kao što ti je zapovjedio Gospod Bog tvoj.
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.
Da vas ne nauèe èiniti gadna djela koja èiniše bogovima svojim, i da ne zgriješite Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
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?
Kad opkoliš kakav grad i budeš dugo pod njim bijuæi ga da bi ga uzeo, ne kvari drveta njegovijeh sjekirom; jer možeš s njih jesti, zato ih ne sijeci; jer drvo poljsko je li èovjek da uðe u grad ispred tebe?
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 be delivered up.
Nego drveta koja znaš da im se rod ne jede, njih obaljuj i sijeci i gradi zaklon od grada koji se bije s tobom, dokle ne padne.
