Ponovljeni Zakon 20
1 Kad otideš na vojsku na neprijatelja svojega i vidiš konje i kola i narod veæi od sebe, nemoj se uplašiti od njih, jer je s tobom Gospod Bog tvoj, koji te je izveo iz zemlje Misirske.
'When thou goest out to battle against thine enemy, and hast seen horse and chariot — a people more numerous than thou — thou art not afraid of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] with thee, who is bringing thee up out of the land of Egypt;
2 I kad poðete da se pobijete, neka pristupi sveštenik i progovori narodu,
and it hath been, in your drawing near unto the battle, that the priest hath come nigh, and spoken unto the people,
3 I neka im reèe: slušaj Izrailju! vi polazite danas u boj na neprijatelje svoje, neka ne trne srce vaše, ne bojte se i ne plašite se, niti se prepadajte od njih.
and said unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are drawing near to-day to battle against your enemies, let not your hearts be tender, fear not, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their presence,
4 Jer Gospod Bog vaš ide s vama i biæe se za vas s neprijateljima vašim da vas saèuva.
for Jehovah your God [is] He who is going with you, to fight for you with your enemies — to save you.
5 Potom i vojvode neka progovore narodu, i reku: ko je sagradio novu kuæu a nije poèeo sjedjeti u njoj? neka ide, nek se vrati kuæi svojoj, da ne bi poginuo u boju, i drugi poèeo sjedjeti u njoj.
'And the authorities have spoken unto the people, saying, Who [is] the man that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? — let him go and turn back to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man dedicate it.
6 I ko je posadio vinograd a još ga nije brao? neka ide, nek se vrati kuæi svojoj, da ne bi poginuo u boju, i drugi ga brao.
'And who [is] the man that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not made it common? — let him go and turn back to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man make it common.
7 I ko je isprosio djevojku a još je nije odveo? neka ide, nek se vrati kuæi svojoj, da ne bi poginuo u boju, i drugi je odveo.
'And who [is] the man that hath betrothed a woman, and hath not taken her? — let him go and turn back to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man take her.
8 Još i ovo neka kažu vojvode narodu i reku: ko je strašiv i trne mu srce? neka ide, nek se vrati kuæi svojoj, da ne bi trnulo srce braæi njegovoj kao njemu.
'And the authorities have added to speak unto the people, and said, Who [is] the man that is afraid and tender of heart? — let him go and turn back to his house, and the heart of his brethren doth not melt like his heart;
9 I kad vojvode izgovore narodu, onda neka namjeste glavare od èeta pred narod.
and it hath come to pass as the authorities finish to speak unto the people, that they have appointed princes of the hosts at the head of the people.
10 Kad doðeš pod koji grad da ga biješ, prvo ga ponudi mirom.
'When thou drawest near unto a city to fight against it, then thou hast called unto it for Peace,
11 Ako ti odgovori mirom i otvori ti vrata, sav narod koji se naðe u njemu neka ti plaæa danak i bude ti pokoran.
and it hath been, if Peace it answer thee, and hath opened to thee, then it hath come to pass — all the people who are found in it are to thee for tributaries, and have served thee.
12 Ako li ne uèini mira s tobom nego se stane biti s tobom, tada ga bij.
'And if it doth not make peace with thee, and hath made with thee war, then thou hast laid siege against it,
13 I kad ga Gospod Bog tvoj preda u ruke tvoje, pobij sve muškinje u njemu maèem.
and Jehovah thy God hath given it into thy hand, and thou hast smitten every male of it by the mouth of the sword.
14 A žene i djecu i stoku i što god bude u gradu, sav plijen u njemu, otmi, i jedi plijen od neprijatelja svojih, koji ti da Gospod Bog tvoj.
Only, the women, and the infants, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, thou dost seize for thyself, and thou hast eaten the spoil of thine enemies which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee.
15 Tako èini sa svijem gradovima, koji su daleko od tebe i nijesu od gradova ovijeh naroda.
So thou dost do to all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16 A u gradovima ovijeh naroda, koje ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo, ne ostavi u životu nijedne duše žive.
'Only, of the cities of these peoples which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee [for] an inheritance, thou dost not keep alive any breathing;
17 Nego ih zatri sasvijem, Heteje i Amoreje i Hananeje i Ferezeje i Jeveje i Jevuseje, kao što ti je zapovjedio Gospod Bog tvoj.
for thou dost certainly devote the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee,
18 Da vas ne nauèe èiniti gadna djela koja èiniše bogovima svojim, i da ne zgriješite Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
so that they teach you not to do according to all their abominations which they have done to their gods, and ye have sinned against Jehovah your God.
19 Kad opkoliš kakav grad i budeš dugo pod njim bijuæi ga da bi ga uzeo, ne kvari drveta njegovijeh sjekirom; jer možeš s njih jesti, zato ih ne sijeci; jer drvo poljsko je li èovjek da uðe u grad ispred tebe?
'When thou layest siege unto a city many days, to fight against it, to capture it, thou dost not destroy its trees to force an axe against them, for of them thou dost eat, and them thou dost not cut down — for man's [is] the tree of the field — to go in at thy presence in the siege.
20 Nego drveta koja znaš da im se rod ne jede, njih obaljuj i sijeci i gradi zaklon od grada koji se bije s tobom, dokle ne padne.
Only, the tree, which thou knowest that it [is] not a fruit-tree, it thou dost destroy, and hast cut down, and hast built a bulwark against the city which is making with thee war till thou hast subdued it.
