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;
Ko greš ven na boj zoper svoje sovražnike in vidiš konje in bojne vozove in ljudstvo, številnejše od tebe, se jih ne boj, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je s teboj, ki te je privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele.
2 and it has been, in your drawing near to the battle, that the priest has come near, and spoken to the people,
In zgodilo se bo, ko se približate k bitki, da bodo pristopili duhovniki in spregovorili ljudstvu
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,
ter jim rekli: ›Prisluhni, oh Izrael, danes se približujete bitki zoper svoje sovražnike. Naj vaša srca ne slabijo, ne bojte se in ne trepetajte, niti zaradi njih ne bodite prestrašeni,
4 for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you, to fight for you with your enemies—to save you.
kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, je ta, ki gre z vami, da se za vas bori zoper vaše sovražnike, da vas reši.‹
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.
Častniki bodo ljudstvu govorili, rekoč: ›Kateri mož je tam, ki je zgradil novo hišo in je ni posvetil? Naj ta gre in se vrne k svoji hiši, da v bitki ne umre in je ne posveti drug moški.
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.
In kateri mož je ta, ki je zasadil vinograd in še ni jedel od njega? Tudi ta naj gre in se vrne k svoji hiši, da v bitki ne umre in drug moški ne jé od njega.
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.
In kateri mož je tam, ki je zaročil ženo in je še ni vzel? Naj gre in se vrne k svoji hiši, da v bitki ne umre in je ne vzame drug moški.‹
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.
Častniki bodo naprej govorili ljudstvu in bodo rekli: ›Kateri moški je tam, ki je bojazljiv in boječ? Naj gre in se vrne k svoji hiši, da ne bo srce njegovih bratov oslabelo tako kakor njegovo srce.‹
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.
Zgodilo se bo, ko bodo častniki končali govorjenje ljudstvu, da bodo postavili poveljnike vojsk, da vodijo ljudstvo.
10 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then you have called to it for peace,
Ko prideš blizu mesta, da se boriš zoper njega, potem mu razglasi mir.
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.
Zgodilo se bo, če ti ta naredi odgovor miru in ti odpre, potem se bo zgodilo, da ti bodo vsi ljudje, ki so najdeni notri, postali davkoplačevalci in ti bodo služili.
12 And if it does not make peace with you, and has made war with you, then you have laid siege against it,
Če pa s teboj ne bo sklenilo miru, temveč se bo zoper tebe vojskovalo, potem ga boš oblegal
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.
in ko ga Gospod, tvoj Bog, izroči v tvoje roke, boš vsakega tamkajšnjega moškega udaril z ostrino meča.
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.
Toda ženske, malčke, živino in vse, kar je v mestu, torej ves njegov plen, boš vzel k sebi in jedel boš plen svojih sovražnikov, ki ti ga je dal Gospod, tvoj Bog.
15 So you do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Tako boš storil vsem mestom, ki so zelo daleč od tebe, ki niso od mest teh narodov.
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;
Toda od mest teh ljudstev, ki ti jih Gospod, tvoj Bog, da za dediščino, ne boš ohranil živega ničesar, kar diha,
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,
temveč jih boš popolnoma uničil, namreč Hetejce, Amoréjce, Kánaance, Perizéjce, Hivéjce in Jebusejce, kakor ti je zapovedal Gospod, tvoj Bog,
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.
da te ne naučijo delati po vseh svojih ogabnostih, ki so jih storili svojim bogovom. Tako bi grešili zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga.
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.
Ko boš dolgo časa oblegal mesto in se vojskoval zoper njega, da ga zavzameš, ne boš uničil njegovih dreves s tem, da bi nadnje privedel sekiro, kajti od njih lahko ješ in ne boš jih posekal, da bi jih uporabil pri obleganju (kajti poljsko drevo je življenje človeku).
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.”
Uničil in posekal boš le drevesa, za katera veš, da niso drevesa za hrano. Zoper mesto, ki se bojuje s teboj, boš zgradil branike, dokler ne bo podjarmljeno.
