Второзаконие 20
Библия, синодално издание
20 Кога излезеш на бой срещу врага си и видиш коне и колесници (и) народ повече отколкото ти имаш, не се плаши от тях, понеже Господ, Бог твой, Който те изведе из Египетската земя, е с тебе.
2 (A)Кога пък влизате в битка, нека свещеникът се приближи и заговори към народа,
3 и му каже: слушай, Израилю, вие днес влизате в битка с вашите врагове, да не отслабва сърцето ви, не бойте се, не се смущавайте и не се ужасявайте от тях,
4 понеже Господ, Бог ваш, върви с вас, за да се срази за вас с вашите врагове (и) да ви спаси.
5 (B)Надзорниците пък нека обявят на народа, като кажат: който е съградил нова къща и не се е настанил в нея, нека си иде и се върне у дома си, да не би да умре в битката, и друг да се настани в нея;
6 (C)и който е насадил лозе и не го е брал, нека си иде и се върне у дома си, да не би да умре в битката, и друг да го обере;
7 (D)и който се е сгодил и не се е оженил, нека си иде и се върне у дома си, да не би да умре в битката, и друг да вземе жена му.
8 (E)Надзорниците да обявят още на народа и да кажат: който е страхлив и малодушен, нека си иде и се върне у дома си, да не би да направи страхливи сърцата на братята си, както своето сърце.
9 След като надзорниците кажат всичко това на народа, да се поставят военни началници за главатари над народа.
10 (F)Кога приближиш до някой град, за да го превземеш, предложи му мир.
11 Ако се съгласи на мир с тебе и ти отвори порти, целият народ, който се намира в него, ще ти плаща данък и ще ти работи.
12 Ако пък се не съгласи на мир с тебе и воюва с тебе, обсади го
13 (G)и, когато Господ, Бог твой, го предаде в ръцете ти, погуби с острието на меча всичко мъжко в него;
14 (H)само жените, децата, добитъка и всичко, що има в града, всичката му плячка вземи за себе си и се ползувай от плячката на враговете си, които Господ, Бог твой, ти е предал.
15 Тъй прави с всички градове, които са от тебе твърде далеч, които не са градове на тия народи.
16 Но в градовете на тия народи, които Господ, Бог твой, ти дава да владееш, не оставяй жива нито една душа,
17 (I)а предай ги на заклятие: хетейци, аморейци, хананейци, ферезейци, евейци и иевусейци (и гергесейци), както ти бе заповядал Господ, Бог твой,
18 за да ви не научат да правите също такива гнусотии, каквито са правили те за своите богове, та да не грешите и вие пред Господа, вашия Бог.
19 (J)Кога обсаждаш дълго време (някой) град, за да го превземеш и завладееш, не сечи дърветата му, които служат за храна, и не опустошавай околностите, понеже дървото в полето не е човек, за да убегне от тебе в крепостта;
20 (K)само ония дървета, за които знаеш, че не дават никаква храна, можеш да повреждаш и сечеш и да правиш укрепления срещу града, който се бие с тебе, докле го покориш.
Deuteronomy 20
King James Version
20 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
4 For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
5 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, 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 And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
7 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
8 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.
9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
10 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
13 And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
15 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16 But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee:
18 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the Lord your God.
19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:
20 Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
Deuteronomy 20
New King James Version
Principles Governing Warfare
20 “When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see (A)horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be (B)afraid of them; for the Lord your God is (C)with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. 2 So it shall be, when you are on the verge of battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people. 3 And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; 4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, (D)to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’
5 “Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying: ‘What man is there who has built a new house and has not (E)dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it. 6 Also what man is there who has planted a vineyard and has not eaten of it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man eat of it. 7 (F)And what man is there who is betrothed to a woman and has not married her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man marry her.’
8 “The officers shall speak further to the people, and say, (G)‘What man is there who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house, [a]lest the heart of his brethren faint like his heart.’ 9 And so it shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
10 “When you go near a city to fight against it, (H)then proclaim an offer of peace to it. 11 And it shall be that if they accept your offer of peace, and open to you, then all the people who are found in it shall be placed under tribute to you, and serve you. 12 Now if the city will not make peace with you, but war against you, then you shall besiege it. 13 And when the Lord your God delivers it into your hands, (I)you shall strike every male in it with the edge of the sword. 14 But the women, the little ones, (J)the livestock, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall plunder for yourself; and (K)you shall eat the enemies’ plunder which the Lord your God gives you. 15 Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16 “But (L)of the cities of these peoples which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive, 17 but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, just as the Lord your God has commanded you, 18 lest (M)they teach you to do according to all their [b]abominations which they have done for their gods, and you (N)sin against the Lord your God.
19 “When you besiege a city for a long time, while making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them; if you can eat of them, do not cut them down to use in the siege, for the tree of the field is man’s food. 20 Only the trees which you know are not trees for food you may destroy and cut down, to build siegeworks against the city that makes war with you, until it is subdued.

Krigslagar
20 När du drar ut i krig mot dina fiender och får se hästar och vagnar[a] och ett folk större än du, ska du inte bli rädd för dem, för Herren din Gud som förde dig upp ur Egyptens land är med dig. 2 När ni står beredda att gå till strid, ska prästen träda fram och tala till folket. 3 Han ska säga till dem: ”Hör, Israel! Ni står i dag beredda att gå till strid mot era fiender. Låt inte era hjärtan vara modlösa. Var inte rädda, bäva inte och bli inte förskräckta för dem, 4 för Herren er Gud går själv med er för att strida för er mot era fiender och ge er seger.”
5 Och förmännen ska säga till folket: ”Om någon har byggt sig ett nytt hus men ännu inte invigt det, så kan han vända tillbaka hem så att inte en annan kommer och inviger det om han själv faller i striden. 6 Om någon har planterat en vingård men ännu inte fått skörda dess frukt, så kan han vända tillbaka hem så att inte en annan kommer och skördar dess frukt om han själv faller i striden. 7 (A) Om någon har trolovat sig med en kvinna men ännu inte tagit henne till sig, så kan han vända tillbaka hem så att inte en annan tar henne om han själv faller i striden.”
8 (B) Vidare ska förmännen säga till folket: ”Om någon är rädd och har ett modlöst hjärta, så kan han vända tillbaka hem så att inte också hans bröders hjärtan blir lika modlösa som hans eget.” 9 När förmännen har avslutat sitt tal till folket, ska befälhavare över hären tillsättas och dessa ska gå i spetsen för folket.
10 När du kommer till någon stad för att strida mot den, ska du först erbjuda den fred. 11 Om den då ger ett fredligt svar och öppnar sina portar för dig, ska allt folket som finns där bli arbetspliktigt under dig och tjäna dig. 12 Men om den inte vill ha fred utan vill föra krig mot dig, ska du belägra den. 13 Och när Herren din Gud ger den i din hand ska du slå alla av mankön där med svärd. 14 (C) Men kvinnorna, barnen, boskapen och allt annat som finns i staden, hela bytet ska du ta för dig själv. Du kan använda[b] det byte som Herren din Gud har gett dig från dina fiender. 15 Så ska du göra med alla de städer som är mycket långt borta från dig och som inte hör till dessa hednafolks städer.
16 (D) Men i de städer som tillhör dessa folk och som Herren din Gud ger dig till arvedel ska du inte låta något som andas få leva. 17 Du ska viga dem åt förintelse: hetiterna och amoreerna, kananeerna och perisseerna, hiveerna och jebusiterna, så som Herren din Gud har befallt dig, 18 för att de inte ska lära er att utöva alla deras vidrigheter som de själva har utövat till sina gudars ära och så komma er att synda mot Herren er Gud.
19 Om du belägrar en stad under lång tid för att erövra och inta den, ska du inte förstöra träden omkring den genom att höja din yxa mot dem. Du får äta av deras frukt, men du får inte hugga ner dem. Träden på marken är ju inte människor som ska drabbas när du går till angrepp. 20 Men träd som du vet inte bär ätbar frukt får du förstöra och hugga ner och ta för att bygga belägringsverk mot den fientliga staden tills den faller.
