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.
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 the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
2 Un kad jūs esat tuvu pie kaujas, tad priesterim būs pieiet un uz tiem ļaudīm runāt.
It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
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,
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;
4 Jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Tas iet jums līdz, par jums karot ar jūsu ienaidniekiem, jūs atpestīt.
for the LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you."
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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."
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.
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."
9 Un kad tie priekšnieki ir pabeiguši uz tiem ļaudīm runāt, tad tiem būs iecelt karaspēka virsniekus ļaužu priekšā.
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.
10 Kad tu nāc pie kādas pilsētas pret viņu karot, tad tev būs viņai piedāvāt mieru.
When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
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.
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.
12 Bet ja tie mieru ar tevi nelīgs, bet pret tevi karos, tad spiedi tos ar varu.
If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall 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 your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it 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.
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 the LORD your God has given you.
15 Tā tev būs darīt visām pilsētām, kas tālu no tevis, kas nav no šo tautu pilsētām.
Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
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 the cities of these peoples, that the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
17 Bet izdeldi tos pavisam: Hetiešus, Amoriešus, Kanaāniešus, Fereziešus, Hiviešus un Jebusiešus, itin kā tev Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir pavēlējis.
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 the LORD your God has commanded you;
18 Lai tie jūs nemāca darīt pēc visām savām negantībām, ko tie darījuši saviem dieviem, un lai jūs pret To Kungu, savu Dievu, negrēkojat.
that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so would you 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 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?
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.
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.
