Deuteronomy 20
1 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for YHWH thy Elohim is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
汝その敵と戰はんとて出るに當り馬と車を見また汝よりも數多き民を見るもこれに懼るる勿れ其は汝をエジプトの國より導き上りし汝の神ヱホバなんぢとともに在せばなり
2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
汝ら戰闘に臨む時は祭司進みいで民に告て
3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
之に言べしイスラエルよ聽け汝らは今日なんぢらの敵と戰はんとて進み來れり心に臆する勿れ懼るるなかれ倉皇なかれ彼らに怖るなかれ
4 For YHWH your Elohim is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
其は汝らの神ヱホバ汝らとともに行き汝らのために汝らの敵と戰ひて汝らを救ひたまふべければなりと
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.
斯てまた有司等民に告て言べし誰か新しき家を建て之に移らざる者あるかその人は家に歸りゆくべし恐くは自己戰闘に死て他の人これに移らん
6 And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
誰か菓物園を作りてその果を食はざる者あるかその人は家に歸りゆくべし恐くは自己戰闘に死て他の人これを食はん
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.
誰か女と契りて之を娶らざる者あるかその人は家に歸りゆくべし恐くは自己戰闘に死て他の人これを娶らんと
8 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.
有司等なほまた民に告て言べし誰か懼れて心に臆する者あるかその人は家に歸りゆくべし恐くはその兄弟たちの心これが心のごとく挫けんと
9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
有司等かく民に告ることを終たらば軍勢の長等を立て民を率しむべし
10 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
汝ある邑に進みゆきて之を攻んとする時は先これに平穩に降ることを勸むべし
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 is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
その邑もし平穩に降らんと答へてその門を汝に開かば其處なる民をして都て汝に貢を納しめ汝に事へしむべし
12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
其もし平穩に汝に降ることを肯んぜずして汝と戰かはんとせば汝これを攻べし
13 And when YHWH thy Elohim hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
而して汝の神ヱホバこれを汝の手に付したまふに至らば刃をもてその中の男を盡く撃殺すべし
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 unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which YHWH thy Elohim hath given thee.
惟その婦女嬰孩家畜および凡てその邑の中にて汝が奪ひ獲たる物は盡く己に取べし抑汝がその敵より奪ひ獲たる物は汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ者なれば汝これをもて樂むべし
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.
汝を離るることの遠き邑々すなはち是等の國々に屬せざるところの邑々には凡てかくのごとく行なふべし
16 But of the cities of these people, which YHWH thy Elohim doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
但し汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふこの國々の邑々においては呼吸する者を一人も生し存べからず
17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as YHWH thy Elohim hath commanded thee:
即ちヘテ人 アモリ人 カナン人 ペリジ人 ヒビ人 ヱブス人などは汝かならずこれを滅ぼし盡して汝の神ヱホバの汝に命じたまへる如くすべし
18 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their elohim; so should ye sin against YHWH your Elohim.
斯するは彼らがその神々にむかひて行ふところの憎むべき事を汝らに敎へて之を倣ひおこなはしめ汝らをして汝らの神ヱホバに罪を獲せしむる事のなからんためなり
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 forcing an axe 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:
汝久しく邑を圍みて之を攻取んとする時においても斧を振ふて其處の樹を砍枯すべからず是は汝の食となるべき者なり且その城攻において田野の樹あに人のごとく汝の前に立ふさがらんや
20 Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
但し果を結ばざる樹と知る樹はこれを砍り枯し汝と戰ふ邑にむかひて之をもて雲梯を築きその降るまで之を攻るも宜し
