YLT
Young's Literal Translation
When you
go
out to war
against your
enemies
and
see
horses,
chariots
, and an
army
larger
than yours,
do
not be
afraid of them ;
for the
LORD
your
God, who brought
you
out of the land of Egypt ,
is
with
you.
`
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 ;
When
you
are
about
to
go
into
battle, the priest is
to
come forward
and address
the army
,
and
it
hath
been,
in
your
drawing
near
unto
the
battle, that
the priest hath
come nigh,
and spoken
unto
the people
,
saying
to
them, “
Hear, O
Israel, today
you
are going
into
battle with
your enemies .
Do
not be fainthearted
or
afraid;
do
not be alarmed
or
terrified because
of
them.
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,
For the
LORD
your God goes
with you to fight for you against
your enemies ,
to give
you the
victory
. ”
for Jehovah
your God `is'
He
who
is
going
with you ,
to fight for you with
your enemies --
to save
you.
Furthermore,
the officers
are
to
address
the army
, saying, “Has
any
man built a new house and not dedicated it? Let him return
home
, or
he may
die in battle and another man dedicate it.
`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.
Has
any
man planted a vineyard and not begun
to
enjoy
its
fruit
? Let him return
home
, or
he may
die in battle and another man enjoy
its
fruit
.
`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
.
Has
any
man become
pledged
to
a woman and not married
her? Let him return
home
, or
he may
die in battle and another man marry
her. ”
`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.
Then
the officers
shall
speak
further
to the army
, saying
, “
Is any
man afraid or
fainthearted
? Let him return
home
, so
that
the hearts
of his brothers
will
not melt like his own.”
`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;
When
the officers
have
finished
addressing
the army
, they are
to
appoint
commanders
to
lead
it
.
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
.
When you
approach
a city to fight against it, you
are
to
make
an
offer
of
peace .
`
When thou
drawest
near
unto
a city to fight against it, then
thou
hast
called
unto
it
for
Peace ,
If they
accept
your
offer
of
peace and open
their
gates
, all the people there
will
become
forced
laborers
to serve
you
.
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
.
But
if they
refuse
to
make peace with you
and wage
war against
you
, lay
siege to
that
city.
`And
if it
doth
not
make peace with thee,
and hath
made
with
thee
war, then
thou
hast
laid
siege against
it,
When
the
LORD
your
God has
delivered
it into your
hand, you
must
put
every male to
the sword.
and
Jehovah
thy
God hath
given
it into thy
hand, and
thou
hast
smitten
every male of
it
by
the mouth
of
the
sword.
But
the women, children
, livestock
, and whatever
else
is in the city —
all its spoil —you
may
take
as
plunder
, and you
shall
use
the spoil of your
enemies that
the
LORD
your
God gives
you
.
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
.
This
is
how
you
are
to treat
all the cities that
are far away
from you
and
do
not belong
to
the nations nearby
.
So
thou
dost
do
to all the cities which
are very
far off
from thee,
which
are
not of
the cities
of
these
nations.
However
, in
the cities of the
nations
that
the
LORD
your
God is giving you
as
an inheritance, you
must
not leave
alive anything
that
breathes.
`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;
For you
must
devote them
to
complete
destruction
—
the Hittites
, Amorites
, Canaanites
, Perizzites
, Hivites
, and Jebusites—as
the LORD
your
God has
commanded you
,
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
,
so that they cannot
teach you to do all the
detestable
things
they do
for
their gods, and so
cause
you
to
sin
against the
LORD
your God.
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.
When you
lay
siege to
a city for
an
extended
time
while
fighting
against it to capture it, you
must
not destroy its trees by
putting
an axe to
them, because
you
can
eat their
fruit.
You
must
not cut them
down .
Are
the trees
of the field human,
that
you
should
besiege
them?
`
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.
But
you
may
destroy
the trees
that you
know
do
not produce
fruit .
Use
them
to
build
siege
works
against the city that
is waging
war against
you,
until
it falls
.
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.
