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.
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 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,
汝ら戰闘に臨む時は祭司進みいで民に告て
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.
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 [it is] the Lord your God who advances with you, to fight with you against your enemies, [and] 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 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.
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 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.
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] 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And if you shall draw near to a city to overcome them by war, then call them out peaceably.
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 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.
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 But if they will not listen to you, but wage war against you, you shall invest 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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 [Of these] you shall not take any thing alive;
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 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:
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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
