Deuteronomy 20
1 When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and see horses, chariots, and a people more than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for Jehovah your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Аще же изыдеши на брань на враги твоя, и узриши кони и всадники и люди множайшыя тебе, да не убоишися их: яко Господь Бог твой с тобою, изведый тя из земли Египетския.
2 It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
И будет егда приближишися к рати, и приступив жрец да возглаголет к людем и речет к ним:
3 and shall tell them, "Hear, Israel, you draw near this day to battle against your enemies: do not let your heart faint; do not be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;
послушай, Израилю, вы исходите днесь на рать ко врагом вашым: да не ослабеет сердце ваше, ни убойтеся, ниже устрашитеся и не уклонитеся от лица их:
4 for Jehovah your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you."
яко Господь Бог ваш идый пред вами споборствует вам на враги вашя и спасет вас.
5 The officers shall speak to the people, saying, "What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
И да рекут книгочия к людем, глаголюще: кий человек создавый храмину нову, и не обнови ея? Да идет, и да возвратится в дом свой, да не умрет на рати, и человек ин обновит ю:
6 What man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not used its fruit? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use its fruit.
и кии человек, иже насади виноград, и не веселися от него? Да идет, и возвратится в дом свой, да не умрет на рати, и человек ин возвеселится от него:
7 What man is there who has pledged to be married 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."
и кий человек, иже обручи себе жену, и не понял ю? Да идет, и возвратится в дом свой, да не умрет на рати, и ин человек поймет ю.
8 The officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, "What man is there who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brother's heart melt as his heart."
И да приложат книгочия глаголати к людем, и да рекут: кий человек страшлив и слаб сердцем? Да идет, и возвратится в дом свой, да не устрашит сердца брата своего, аки сердце свое.
9 It shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking to the people, that they shall appoint captains of armies at the head of the people.
И будет егда умолкнут книгочия глаголюще к людем, и поставят воеводы воинства вожды людий.
10 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
Аще же приидеши ко граду воевати нань, и воззовеши я с миром:
11 It shall be, if it makes you answer of peace, and opens to you, then it shall be, that all the people who are found in it shall become tributary to you, and shall serve you.
аще убо мирное отвещают ти, и отверзут тебе (град), вси людие обретшиися во граде да будут тебе дань дающе и послушающии тебе:
12 If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it:
аще же не покорятся тебе, и сотворят с тобою рать, да обсядеши его,
13 and when Jehovah your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword:
дондеже предаст я Господь Бог твой в руце твои: да избиеши всяк мужеск пол в нем убийством меча,
14 but the women, and the little ones, and the livestock, and all that is in the city, even all its spoil, you shall take for a prey to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which Jehovah your God has given you.
кроме жен и имения, и вся скоты, и вся елика суть во граде, и все стяжание да плениши себе, и да снеси весь плен врагов твоих, яже Господь Бог твой дает тебе.
15 Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Тако да сотвориши всем градом, иже суть далече от тебе зело, иже не суть от градов языков сих, ихже Господь Бог дает тебе наследити землю их:
16 But of the cities of these peoples, that Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
от них да не оставите жива всякаго дыхания:
17 but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hethite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as Jehovah your God has commanded you;
но и проклятием проклените их, Хеттеа и Аморреа, и Хананеа и Ферезеа, и Евеа и Иевусеа и Гергесеа, якоже заповеда тебе Господь Бог твой:
18 that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so would you sin against Jehovah your God.
да не научат вас творити всякия мерзости своя, елики твориша богом своим, и согрешите пред Господем Богом вашим.
19 When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an axe against them; for you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged of you?
Аще же обсядеши град един дни многи воевати его в приятие себе, да не истребиши садовия его, возложив железо нань, но токмо да яси плод от них, самого же да не посечеши: еда древо, еже в дубраве, человек есть, иже внити от лица твоего в забрала?
20 Only the trees of which you know that they are not trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down; and you shall build siege works against the city that makes war with you, until it fall.
Но древо, еже веси, яко не ястся плод его, сие потребиши и посечеши, и сотвориши лествицы на град, иже творит на тя рать, дондеже предастся.
