Deuteronomy 20
1 When thou goest out to battle against thy enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, who brought thee 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 And it shall be, when ye are come 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 say to them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because 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 the LORD your God is he that goeth 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 And the officers shall speak to 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 should die in the battle, and another man should 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 And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should eat of it.
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 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in battle, and another man should 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 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren’s heart should faint as well 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 And it shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
И будет егда умолкнут книгочия глаголюще к людем, и поставят воеводы воинства вожды людий.
10 When thou comest 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 And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer of peace, and open to thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found in it shall be forced labourers to thee, and they shall serve thee.
аще убо мирное отвещают ти, и отверзут тебе (град), вси людие обретшиися во граде да будут тебе дань дающе и послушающии тебе:
12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
аще же не покорятся тебе, и сотворят с тобою рать, да обсядеши его,
13 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite 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 cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, shalt thou take to thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thy enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
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 shalt thou do to all the cities which are very distant from thee, 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 people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
от них да не оставите жива всякаго дыхания:
17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
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 may not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
да не научат вас творити всякия мерзости своя, елики твориша богом своим, и согрешите пред Господем Богом вашим.
19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees of it 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:
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 which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it shall be subdued.
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.
