Deuteronomy 20
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.
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 be, when ye draw nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
I kad poðete da se pobijete, neka pristupi sveštenik i progovori narodu,
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;
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 the LORD your God is He that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.'
Jer Gospod Bog vaš ide s vama i biæe se za vas s neprijateljima vašim da vas saèuva.
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.
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 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.
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 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.'
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 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.'
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 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.
I kad vojvode izgovore narodu, onda neka namjeste glavare od èeta pred narod.
10 When thou drawest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
Kad doðeš pod koji grad da ga biješ, prvo ga ponudi mirom.
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.
Ako ti odgovori mirom i otvori ti vrata, sav narod koji se naðe u njemu neka ti plaæa danak i bude ti pokoran.
12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it.
Ako li ne uèini mira s tobom nego se stane biti s tobom, tada ga bij.
13 And when the LORD thy God delivereth it into thy hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword;
I kad ga Gospod Bog tvoj preda u ruke tvoje, pobij sve muškinje u njemu maèem.
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.
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 shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Tako èini sa svijem gradovima, koji su daleko od tebe i nijesu od gradova ovijeh naroda.
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,
A u gradovima ovijeh naroda, koje ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo, ne ostavi u životu nijedne duše žive.
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;
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 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.
Da vas ne nauèe èiniti gadna djela koja èiniše bogovima svojim, i da ne zgriješite Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
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?
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 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.
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.
