Deuteronomy 20

「你出去与仇敌争战的时候，看见马匹、车辆，并有比你多的人民，不要怕他们，因为领你出埃及地的耶和华—你 神与你同在。

「 nǐ chū qù yǔ chóu dí zhēng zhàn de shí hòu ， kàn jiàn mǎ pǐ 、 chē liàng ， bìng yǒu bǐ nǐ duō de rén mín ， bú yào pà tā men ， yīn wèi lǐng nǐ chū āi jí dì de yē hé huá — nǐ shén yǔ nǐ tóng zài 。

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.

你们将要上阵的时候，祭司要到百姓面前宣告

nǐ men jiāng yào shàng zhèn de shí hòu ， jì sī yào dào bǎi xìng miàn qián xuān gào

It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,

说：『以色列人哪，你们当听，你们今日将要与仇敌争战，不要胆怯，不要惧怕战兢，也不要因他们惊恐；

shuō ：『 yǐ sè liè rén nǎ ， nǐ men dāng tīng ， nǐ men jīn rì jiāng yào yǔ chóu dí zhēng zhàn ， bú yào dǎn qiè ， bú yào jù pà zhàn jīng ， yě bú yào yīn tā men jīng kǒng ；

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;

因为耶和华—你们的 神与你们同去，要为你们与仇敌争战，拯救你们。』

yīn wèi yē hé huá — nǐ men de shén yǔ nǐ men tóng qù ， yào wèi nǐ men yǔ chóu dí zhēng zhàn ， zhěng jiù nǐ men 。』

for the LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”

官长也要对百姓宣告说：『谁建造房屋，尚未奉献，他可以回家去，恐怕他阵亡，别人去奉献。

guān zhǎng yě yào duì bǎi xìng xuān gào shuō ：『 shuí jiàn zào fáng wū ， shàng wèi fèng xiàn ， tā kě yǐ huí jiā qù ， kǒng pà tā zhèn wáng ， bié rén qù fèng xiàn 。

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.

谁种葡萄园，尚未用所结的果子，他可以回家去，恐怕他阵亡，别人去用。

shuí zhǒng pú táo yuán ， shàng wèi yòng suǒ jié de guǒ zǐ ， tā kě yǐ huí jiā qù ， kǒng pà tā zhèn wáng ， bié rén qù yòng 。

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.

谁聘定了妻，尚未迎娶，他可以回家去，恐怕他阵亡，别人去娶。』

shuí pìn dìng le qī ， shàng wèi yíng qǔ ， tā kě yǐ huí jiā qù ， kǒng pà tā zhèn wáng ， bié rén qù qǔ 。』

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.”

官长又要对百姓宣告说：『谁惧怕胆怯，他可以回家去，恐怕他弟兄的心消化，和他一样。』

guān zhǎng yòu yào duì bǎi xìng xuān gào shuō ：『 shuí jù pà dǎn qiè ， tā kě yǐ huí jiā qù ， kǒng pà tā dì xiong de xīn xiāo huà ， hé tā yí yàng 。』

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.”

官长对百姓宣告完了，就当派军长率领他们。

guān zhǎng duì bǎi xìng xuān gào wán le ， jiù dāng pài jūn zhǎng shuài lǐng tā men 。

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.

「你临近一座城、要攻打的时候，先要对城里的民宣告和睦的话。

「 nǐ lín jìn yí zuò chéng 、 yào gōng dǎ de shí hòu ， xiān yào duì chéng lǐ de mín xuān gào hé mù de huà 。

When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.

他们若以和睦的话回答你，给你开了城，城里所有的人都要给你效劳，服事你；

tā men ruò yǐ hé mù de huà huí dá nǐ ， gěi nǐ kāi le chéng ， chéng lǐ suǒ yǒu de rén dōu yào gěi nǐ xiào láo ， fú shì nǐ ；

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.

若不肯与你和好，反要与你打仗，你就要围困那城。

ruò bù kěn yǔ nǐ hé hǎo ， fǎn yào yǔ nǐ dǎ zhàng ， nǐ jiù yào wéi kùn nà chéng 。

If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.

耶和华—你的 神把城交付你手，你就要用刀杀尽这城的男丁。

yē hé huá — nǐ de shén bǎ chéng jiāo fù nǐ shǒu ， nǐ jiù yào yòng dāo shā jìn zhè chéng de nán dīng 。

When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword;

惟有妇女、孩子、牲畜，和城内一切的财物，你可以取为自己的掠物。耶和华—你 神把你仇敌的财物赐给你，你可以吃用。

wéi yǒu fù nǚ 、 hái zi 、 shēng chù ， hé chéng nèi yí qiè de cái wù ， nǐ kě yǐ qǔ wèi zì jǐ de lüè wù 。 yē hé huá — nǐ shén bǎ nǐ chóu dí de cái wù cì gěi nǐ ， nǐ kě yǐ chī yòng 。

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.

离你甚远的各城，不是这些国民的城，你都要这样待他。

lí nǐ shèn yuǎn de gè chéng ， bú shì zhè xiē guó mín de chéng ， nǐ dōu yào zhè yàng dài tā 。

Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.

但这些国民的城，耶和华—你 神既赐你为业，其中凡有气息的，一个不可存留；

dàn zhè xiē guó mín de chéng ， yē hé huá — nǐ shén jì cì nǐ wèi yè ， qí zhōng fán yǒu qì xī de ， yí gè bù kě cún liú ；

But of the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;

只要照耶和华—你 神所吩咐的将这赫人、亚摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人都灭绝净尽，

zhǐ yào zhào yē hé huá — nǐ shén suǒ fēn fù de jiāng zhè hè rén 、 yà mó lì rén 、 jiā nán rén 、 bǐ lì xǐ rén 、 xī wèi rén 、 yē bù sī rén dōu miè jué jìng jìn ，

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;

免得他们教导你们学习一切可憎恶的事，就是他们向自己神所行的，以致你们得罪耶和华—你们的 神。

miǎn de tā men jiào dǎo nǐ men xué xí yí qiè kě zēng wù de shì ， jiù shì tā men xiàng zì jǐ shén suǒ xíng de ， yǐ zhì nǐ men dé zuì yē hé huá — nǐ men de shén 。

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.

「你若许久围困、攻打所要取的一座城，就不可举斧子砍坏树木；因为你可以吃那树上的果子，不可砍伐。田间的树木岂是人，叫你糟蹋吗？

「 nǐ ruò xǔ jiǔ wéi kùn 、 gōng dǎ suǒ yào qǔ de yí zuò chéng ， jiù bù kě jǔ fǔ zǐ kǎn huài shù mù ； yīn wèi nǐ kě yǐ chī nà shù shàng de guǒ zǐ ， bù kě kǎn fá 。 tián jiān de shù mù qǐ shì rén ， jiào nǐ zāo tà ma ？

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?

惟独你所知道不是结果子的树木可以毁坏、砍伐，用以修筑营垒，攻击那与你打仗的城，直到攻塌了。」

wéi dú nǐ suǒ zhī dào bú shì jié guǒ zǐ de shù mù kě yǐ huǐ huài 、 kǎn fá ， yòng yǐ xiū zhù yíng lěi ， gōng jī nà yǔ nǐ dǎ zhàng de chéng ， zhí dào gōng tā le 。」

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.
