Piektā Mozus 20
1 Kad tu iesi karā pret saviem ienaidniekiem un redzēsi zirgus un ratus un ļaužu vairāk nekā tu, tad nebīsties no viņiem, jo ar tevi ir Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kas tevi izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes.
If thou go out to war against thy enemies, and see horsemen and chariots, and the numbers of the enemy’s army greater than thine, thou shalt not fear them: because the Lord thy God is with thee, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
2 Un kad jūs esat tuvu pie kaujas, tad priesterim būs pieiet un uz tiem ļaudīm runāt.
And when the battle is now at hand, the priest shall stand before the army, and shall speak to the people in this manner:
3 Un uz tiem sacīt: klausies, Israēl, jūs šodien ejat karā pret saviem ienaidniekiem, - lai jūsu sirds nepaliek bailīga, nebīstaties un nebaiļojaties un neiztrūcināties priekš tiem,
Hear, O Israel, you join battle this day against your enemies, let not your heart be dismayed, be not afraid, do not give back, fear ye them not:
4 Jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Tas iet jums līdz, par jums karot ar jūsu ienaidniekiem, jūs atpestīt.
Because the Lord your God is in the midst of you, and will fight for you against your enemies, to deliver you from danger.
5 Tad tiem priekšniekiem būs runāt uz tiem ļaudīm un sacīt: ja kas laban jaunu namu uztaisījis, un to vēl nav iesvētījis, tas lai iet un griežas uz savu namu, ka tas karā nemirst un cits to neiesvēti.
And the captains shall proclaim through every band in the hearing of the army: 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 die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6 Un ja kas laban dēstījis vīna dārzu un augļus no tā nav baudījis, tas lai iet un griežas atpakaļ uz savu namu, ka tas karā nemirst un cits nebauda viņa augļus.
What man is there, that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not as yet made it to be common, whereof all men may eat? let him go, and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man execute his office.
7 Un ja kas laban sievu precējis un to vēl nav pārvedis, tas lai iet un griežas uz savu namu, ka tas karā nemirst un cits to neapņem.
What man is there, that hath espoused a wife, and not taken her? let him go, and return to his house, lest he die in the war, and another man take her.
8 Pēc tam tiem priekšniekiem vēl būs runāt uz tiem ļaudīm un sacīt: ja kas laban bīstas un kam ir bailīga sirds, tas lai iet un griežas uz savu namu, ka tas savu brāļu sirdi neiebaida tā kā savu paša sirdi.
After these things are declared they shall add the rest, and shall speak to the people: What man is there that is fearful, and faint hearted? let him go, and return to his house, lest he make the hearts of his brethren to fear, as he himself is possessed with fear.
9 Un kad tie priekšnieki ir pabeiguši uz tiem ļaudīm runāt, tad tiem būs iecelt karaspēka virsniekus ļaužu priekšā.
And when the captains of the army shall hold their peace, and have made an end of speaking, every man shall prepare their bands to fight.
10 Kad tu nāc pie kādas pilsētas pret viņu karot, tad tev būs viņai piedāvāt mieru.
If at any time thou come to fight against a city, thou shalt first offer it peace.
11 Un ja tā ar tevi līgs mieru un tev atvērs, tad lai visi ļaudis, kas tur atrodas, tev paliek par klausītājiem un tev kalpo.
If they receive it, and open the gates to thee, all the people that are therein, shall be saved, and shall serve thee paying tribute.
12 Bet ja tie mieru ar tevi nelīgs, bet pret tevi karos, tad spiedi tos ar varu.
But if they will not make peace, and shall begin war against thee, thou shalt besiege it.
13 Un kad Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, to pilsētu nodos tavā rokā, tad visus vīriešus, kas tur ir, tev būs apkaut ar zobena asmeni.
And when the Lord thy God shall deliver it into thy bands, thou shalt slay all that are therein of the male sex, with the edge of the sword,
14 Bet tās sievas un tos bērniņus un tos lopus un visu, kas tai pilsētā, visu viņu laupījumu, ņem sev un ēd savu ienaidnieku laupījumu, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev ir devis.
Excepting women and children, cattle and other things, that are in the city. And thou shalt divide all the prey to the army, and thou shalt eat the spoils of thy enemies, which the Lord thy God shall give thee.
15 Tā tev būs darīt visām pilsētām, kas tālu no tevis, kas nav no šo tautu pilsētām.
So shalt thou do to all cities that are at a great distance from thee, and are not of these cities which thou shalt receive in possession.
16 Bet no šo ļaužu pilsētām, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos par īpašumu, tev neko nebūs atstāt dzīvu, kam ir dzīva dvaša.
But of those cities that shall be given thee, thou shalt suffer none at all to live:
17 Bet izdeldi tos pavisam: Hetiešus, Amoriešus, Kanaāniešus, Fereziešus, Hiviešus un Jebusiešus, itin kā tev Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir pavēlējis.
But shalt kill them with the edge of the sword, to wit, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee:
18 Lai tie jūs nemāca darīt pēc visām savām negantībām, ko tie darījuši saviem dieviem, un lai jūs pret To Kungu, savu Dievu, negrēkojat.
Lest they teach you to do all the abominations which they have done to their gods: and you should sin against the Lord your God.
19 Kad tu kādu pilsētu ilgu laiku apstāsi, pret viņu karodams, lai viņu uzvarētu, tad tev nebūs postīt viņas kokus, cirvi tiem pielikdams; jo tu no tiem vari ēst, bet tev tos nebūs nocirst; jo vai tas koks laukā ir cilvēks, ka tu pret viņu karotu?
When thou hast besieged a city a long time, and hath compassed it with bulwarks to take it, thou shalt not cut down the trees that may be eaten of, neither shalt thou spoil the country round about with axes: for it is a tree, and not a man, neither can it increase the number of them that fight against thee.
20 Bet tos kokus, ko jūs pazīsiet, ka tie nav ēdami koki, tos tu vari postīt un nocirst, un no tiem uzcelt apcietinājumu pret to pilsētu, kas ar tevi karo, kamēr tu to uzvari.
But if there be any trees that are not fruitful, but wild, and fit for other uses, cut them down, and make engines, until thou take the city, which fighteth against thee.
