신명기 20
1 네가 나가 대적과 싸우려할 때에 말과 병거와 민중이 너보다 많음을 볼지라도 그들을 두려워 말라! 애굽 땅에서 너를 인도하여 내신 네 하나님 여호와께서 너와 함께 하시느니라!
“If you go out to battle against your enemies, and you see horsemen and chariots, and that the multitude of your adversary’s army is greater than your own, you shall not fear them. For the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, is with you.
2 너희가 싸울 곳에 가까이 가거든 제사장은 백성에게 나아가서 고하여
Then, as the battle now draws near, the priest shall stand before the front ranks, and he shall speak to the people in this manner:
3 그들에게 이르기를 이스라엘아 들으라! 너희가 오늘날 너희의 대적과 싸우려고 나아왔으니 마음에 겁내지 말며 두려워 말며 떨지말며 그들로 인하여 놀라지 말라
‘Listen, O Israel! Today you engage in a battle against your enemies. Do not let your heart be overwhelmed with fear. Do not be apprehensive. Do not yield. You should have no dread of them.
4 너희 하나님 여호와는 너희와 함께 행하시며 너희를 위하여 너희 대적을 치고 너희를 구원하시는 자니라 할 것이며
For the Lord your God is in your midst, and he will contend against your enemies on your behalf, so that he may rescue you from peril.’
5 유사들은 백성에게 고하여 이르기를 새집을 건축하고 낙성식을 행치 못한 자가 있느냐? 그는 집으로 돌아갈지니 전사하면 타인이 낙성식을 행할까 하노라
Likewise, the officers shall proclaim, throughout every company, in the hearing of the soldiers: ‘What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest perhaps he may die in the battle, and another man may dedicate it.
6 포도원을 만들고 그 과실을 먹지 못한 자가 있느냐? 그는 집으로 돌아갈지니 전사하면 타인이 그 과실을 먹을까 하노라
What man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not yet caused it to be common, so that all may eat from it? Let him go, and return to his house, lest perhaps he may die in the battle, and another man may carry out his office.
7 여자와 약혼하고 그를 취하지 못한 자가 있느냐? 그는 집으로 돌아갈지니 전사하면 타인이 그를 취할까 하노라 하고
What man is there, who has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go, and return to his house, lest perhaps he may die in battle, and another man may take her.’
8 유사들은 오히려 또 백성에게 고하여 이르기를 두려워서 마음에 겁내는 자가 있느냐? 그는 집으로 돌아갈지니 그 형제들의 마음도 그의 마음과 같이 떨어질까 하노라 하여
After these things have been declared, they shall add the remainder, and shall say to the people: ‘What man is there who is overwhelmed by fear and is fainthearted? Let him go, and return to his house, lest he cause the hearts of his brothers to fear, just as he himself has been thoroughly stricken with fear.’
9 백성에게 이르기를 필한 후에 군대의 장관들을 세워 무리를 거느리게 할지니라
And when the officers of the army have become silent, and have completed their speech, each one shall prepare his unit to wage war.
10 네가 어떤 성읍으로 나아가서 치려할 때에 그 성에 먼저 평화를 선언하라!
When, at any time, you approach a city to fight against it, you shall first offer peace to it.
11 그 성읍이 만일 평화하기로 회답하고 너를 향하여 성문을 열거든 그 온 거민으로 네게 공을 바치고 너를 섬기게 할 것이요
If they receive it, and open the gates to you, then all the people who are in it shall be saved, and they shall serve you by paying tribute.
12 만일 너와 평화하기를 싫어하고 너를 대적하여 싸우려 하거든 너는 그 성읍을 에워쌀 것이며
But if they are not willing to enter into an agreement, and they begin to act against you in warfare, then you shall besiege it.
13 네 하나님 여호와께서 그 성읍을 네 손에 붙이시거든 너는 칼날로 그 속의 남자를 다 쳐 죽이고
And when the Lord your God will have delivered it into your hands, you shall strike down anyone who is in it, of the male gender, with the edge of the sword,
14 오직 여자들과 유아들과 육축과 무릇 그 성중에서 네가 탈취한 모든 것은 네 것이니 취하라 네가 대적에게서 탈취한 것은 네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 주신 것인즉 너는 그것을 누릴지니라
but not the women and young children, nor the cattle and the other things that are within the city. And you shall divide all the plunder to the soldiers, and you shall eat the spoils from your enemies, which the Lord your God will give to you.
15 네가 네게서 멀리 떠난 성읍들 곧 이 민족들에게 속하지 아니한 성읍들에게는 이같이 행하려니와
So shall you do to all the cities which are at a great distance from you, those which are not among the cities that you shall receive as a possession.
16 오직 네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 기업으로 주시는 이 민족들의 성읍에서는 호흡 있는 자를 하나도 살리지 말지니
But among those cities which shall be given to you, you shall not permit anyone at all to live.
17 곧 헷 족속과, 아모리 족속과, 가나안 족속과, 브리스 족속과, 여부스 족속을 네가 진멸하되 네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 명하신 대로 하라
Instead, you shall put them to death with the edge of the sword, specifically: the Hittite and the Amorite and the Canaanite, the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, just as the Lord your God has commanded you.
18 이는 그들이 그 신들에게 행하는 모든 가증한 일로 너희에게 가르쳐 본받게 하여 너희로 너희의 하나님 여호와께 범죄케 할까 함이니라
Otherwise, they may teach you to do all the abominations which they have committed for their own gods. And then you would sin against the Lord your God.
19 너희가 어느 성읍을 오래 동안 에워싸고 쳐서 취하려 할 때에도 도끼를 둘러 그 곳의 나무를 작벌하지 말라 이는 너희의 먹을 것이 될 것임이니 찍지 말라 밭의 수목이 사람이냐? 너희가 어찌 그것을 에워싸겠느냐?
When you will have besieged a city for a long time, and you will have encircled it with fortifications, so that you may fight against it, you shall not cut down trees from which one is able to eat, neither shall you cause devastation with axes to the surrounding region. For it is a tree, and not a man. It is not able to increase the number of those who are fighting against you.
20 오직 과목이 아닌 줄로 아는 수목은 작벌하여 너희와 싸우는 그 성읍을 치는 기구를 만들어 그 성읍을 함락시킬 때까지 쓸지니라
But if there are any trees which are not fruitful, but are wild, and if these are fit for other uses, then cut them down, and make machines, until you have captured the city that is contending against you.”
