Deuteronomy 20
1 “When you go out to battle against your enemy, and have seen horse and chariot—a people more numerous than you—you are not afraid of them, for your God YHWH [is] with you, who is bringing you up out of the land of Egypt;
Kad tu iesi karā pret saviem ienaidniekiem un redzēsi zirgus un ratus un ļaužu vairāk nekā tu, tad nebīsties no viņiem, jo ar tevi ir Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kas tevi izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes.
2 and it has been, in your drawing near to the battle, that the priest has come near, and spoken to the people,
Un kad jūs esat tuvu pie kaujas, tad priesterim būs pieiet un uz tiem ļaudīm runāt.
3 and said to them, Hear, O Israel: You are drawing near today to battle against your enemies, do not let your hearts be tender, do not fear, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their presence,
Un uz tiem sacīt: klausies, Israēl, jūs šodien ejat karā pret saviem ienaidniekiem, - lai jūsu sirds nepaliek bailīga, nebīstaties un nebaiļojaties un neiztrūcināties priekš tiem,
4 for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you, to fight for you with your enemies—to save you.
Jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Tas iet jums līdz, par jums karot ar jūsu ienaidniekiem, jūs atpestīt.
5 And the authorities have spoken to the people, saying, Who [is] the man that has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in battle and another man dedicate it.
Tad tiem priekšniekiem būs runāt uz tiem ļaudīm un sacīt: ja kas laban jaunu namu uztaisījis, un to vēl nav iesvētījis, tas lai iet un griežas uz savu namu, ka tas karā nemirst un cits to neiesvēti.
6 And who [is] the man that has planted a vineyard and has not made it common? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man make it common.
Un ja kas laban dēstījis vīna dārzu un augļus no tā nav baudījis, tas lai iet un griežas atpakaļ uz savu namu, ka tas karā nemirst un cits nebauda viņa augļus.
7 And who [is] the man that has betrothed a woman and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man take her.
Un ja kas laban sievu precējis un to vēl nav pārvedis, tas lai iet un griežas uz savu namu, ka tas karā nemirst un cits to neapņem.
8 And the authorities have added to speak to the people and said, Who [is] the man that is afraid and tender of heart? Let him go and return to his house, and the heart of his brothers does not melt like his heart.
Pēc tam tiem priekšniekiem vēl būs runāt uz tiem ļaudīm un sacīt: ja kas laban bīstas un kam ir bailīga sirds, tas lai iet un griežas uz savu namu, ka tas savu brāļu sirdi neiebaida tā kā savu paša sirdi.
9 And it has come to pass, as the authorities finish to speak to the people, that they have appointed princes of the hosts at the head of the people.
Un kad tie priekšnieki ir pabeiguši uz tiem ļaudīm runāt, tad tiem būs iecelt karaspēka virsniekus ļaužu priekšā.
10 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then you have called to it for peace,
Kad tu nāc pie kādas pilsētas pret viņu karot, tad tev būs viņai piedāvāt mieru.
11 and it has been, if it answers you [with] peace, and has opened to you, then it has come to pass, all the people who are found in it are for tributaries to you, and have served you.
Un ja tā ar tevi līgs mieru un tev atvērs, tad lai visi ļaudis, kas tur atrodas, tev paliek par klausītājiem un tev kalpo.
12 And if it does not make peace with you, and has made war with you, then you have laid siege against it,
Bet ja tie mieru ar tevi nelīgs, bet pret tevi karos, tad spiedi tos ar varu.
13 and your God YHWH has given it into your hand, and you have struck every male of it by the mouth of the sword.
Un kad Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, to pilsētu nodos tavā rokā, tad visus vīriešus, kas tur ir, tev būs apkaut ar zobena asmeni.
14 Only, the women, and the infants, and the livestock, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you seize for yourself, and you have eaten the spoil of your enemies which your God YHWH has given to you.
Bet tās sievas un tos bērniņus un tos lopus un visu, kas tai pilsētā, visu viņu laupījumu, ņem sev un ēd savu ienaidnieku laupījumu, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev ir devis.
15 So you do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Tā tev būs darīt visām pilsētām, kas tālu no tevis, kas nav no šo tautu pilsētām.
16 Only, of the cities of these peoples which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, you do not keep alive any [that are] breathing;
Bet no šo ļaužu pilsētām, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos par īpašumu, tev neko nebūs atstāt dzīvu, kam ir dzīva dvaša.
17 for you certainly devote the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as your God YHWH has commanded you,
Bet izdeldi tos pavisam: Hetiešus, Amoriešus, Kanaāniešus, Fereziešus, Hiviešus un Jebusiešus, itin kā tev Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir pavēlējis.
18 so that they do not teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their gods, and you have sinned against your God YHWH.
Lai tie jūs nemāca darīt pēc visām savām negantībām, ko tie darījuši saviem dieviem, un lai jūs pret To Kungu, savu Dievu, negrēkojat.
19 When you lay siege to a city [for] many days to fight against it, to capture it, you do not destroy its trees to force an axe against them, for you eat of them, and you do not cut them down—for the tree of the field [is] man’s—to go in at your presence in the siege.
Kad tu kādu pilsētu ilgu laiku apstāsi, pret viņu karodams, lai viņu uzvarētu, tad tev nebūs postīt viņas kokus, cirvi tiem pielikdams; jo tu no tiem vari ēst, bet tev tos nebūs nocirst; jo vai tas koks laukā ir cilvēks, ka tu pret viņu karotu?
20 Only, the tree of which you know that it [is] not a fruit-tree, you destroy it, and have cut [it] down, and have built a bulwark against the city which is making war with you until you have subdued it.”
Bet tos kokus, ko jūs pazīsiet, ka tie nav ēdami koki, tos tu vari postīt un nocirst, un no tiem uzcelt apcietinājumu pret to pilsētu, kas ar tevi karo, kamēr tu to uzvari.
