Deuteronomy 20
1 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, chariots, and a people more numerous than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.
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 It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
汝ら戰闘に臨む時は祭司進みいで民に告て
3 and shall tell them, “Hear, Israel, you draw near today to battle against your enemies. Don’t let your heart faint! Don’t be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;
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 the LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, 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 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.
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 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.
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 What man is there who has pledged to be married to 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 The officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, “What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brother’s heart melt as his heart.”
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 It shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall appoint captains of armies at the head 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 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
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 It shall be, if it gives you answer of peace and opens to you, then it shall be that all the people who are found therein shall become forced laborers to you, and shall serve 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 If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege 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 When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, 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 but the women, the little ones, the livestock, and all that is in the city, even all its plunder, you shall take for plunder for yourself. You may use the plunder of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given 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 you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
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 But of the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
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 utterly destroy them: the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has 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 not teach you to follow all their abominations, which they have done for their gods; so would you sin against 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 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 ax against them; for you may eat of them. You shall not cut them down, for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged by you?
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 Only the trees that you know are not trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down. You shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
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
