Deuteronomy 20

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 "When you go out to war against your enemies and you see horses and chariots and an army greater than your own, do not be afraid of them, for the LORD, your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, will be with you.	1 εαν δε εξελθης εις πολεμον επι τους εχθρους σου και ιδης ιππον και αναβατην και λαον πλειονα σου ου φοβηθηση απ' αυτων οτι κυριος ο θεος σου μετα σου ο αναβιβασας σε εκ γης αιγυπτου
2 "When you are about to go into battle, the priest shall come forward and say to the soldiers:	2 και εσται οταν εγγισης τω πολεμω και προσεγγισας ο ιερευς λαλησει τω λαω
3 'Hear, O Israel! Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Be not weakhearted or afraid; be neither alarmed nor frightened by them.	3 και ερει προς αυτους ακουε ισραηλ υμεις προσπορευεσθε σημερον εις πολεμον επι τους εχθρους υμων μη εκλυεσθω η καρδια υμων μη φοβεισθε μηδε θραυεσθε μηδε εκκλινητε απο προσωπου αυτων
4 For it is the LORD, your God, who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies and give you victory.'	4 οτι κυριος ο θεος υμων ο προπορευομενος μεθ' υμων συνεκπολεμησαι υμιν τους εχθρους υμων διασωσαι υμας
5 "Then the officials shall say to the soldiers, 'Is there anyone who has built a new house and not yet had the housewarming? Let him return home, lest he die in battle and another dedicate it.	5 και λαλησουσιν οι γραμματεις προς τον λαον λεγοντες τις ο ανθρωπος ο οικοδομησας οικιαν καινην και ουκ ενεκαινισεν αυτην πορευεσθω και αποστραφητω εις την οικιαν αυτου μη αποθανη εν τω πολεμω και ανθρωπος ετερος εγκαινιει αυτην
6 Is there anyone who has planted a vineyard and never yet enjoyed its fruits? Let him return home, lest he die in battle and another enjoy its fruits in his stead.	6 και τις ο ανθρωπος οστις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και ουκ ευφρανθη εξ αυτου πορευεσθω και αποστραφητω εις την οικιαν αυτου μη αποθανη εν τω πολεμω και ανθρωπος ετερος ευφρανθησεται εξ αυτου
7 Is there anyone who has betrothed a woman and not yet taken her as his wife? Let him return home, lest he die in battle and another take her to wife.'	7 και τις ο ανθρωπος οστις μεμνηστευται γυναικα και ουκ ελαβεν αυτην πορευεσθω και αποστραφητω εις την οικιαν αυτου μη αποθανη εν τω πολεμω και ανθρωπος ετερος λημψεται αυτην
8 In fine, the officials shall say to the soldiers, 'Is there anyone who is afraid and weakhearted? Let him return home, lest he make his fellows as fainthearted as himself.'	8 και προσθησουσιν οι γραμματεις λαλησαι προς τον λαον και ερουσιν τις ο ανθρωπος ο φοβουμενος και δειλος τη καρδια πορευεσθω και αποστραφητω εις την οικιαν αυτου ινα μη δειλιανη την καρδιαν του αδελφου αυτου ωσπερ η αυτου
9 "When the officials have finished speaking to the soldiers, military officers shall be appointed over the army.	9 και εσται οταν παυσωνται οι γραμματεις λαλουντες προς τον λαον και καταστησουσιν αρχοντας της στρατιας προηγουμενους του λαου
10 "When you march up to attack a city, first offer it terms of peace.	10 εαν δε προσελθης προς πολιν εκπολεμησαι αυτην και εκκαλεση αυτους μετ' ειρηνης
11 If it agrees to your terms of peace and opens its gates to you, all the people to be found in it shall serve you in forced labor.	11 εαν μεν ειρηνικα αποκριθωσιν σοι και ανοιξωσιν σοι εσται πας ο λαος οι ευρεθεντες εν αυτη εσονται σοι φορολογητοι και υπηκοοι σου
12 But if it refuses to make peace with you and instead offers you battle, lay siege to it,	12 εαν δε μη υπακουσωσιν σοι και ποιησωσιν προς σε πολεμον περικαθιεις αυτην
13 and when the LORD, your God, delivers it into your hand, put every male in it to the sword;	13 και παραδωσει αυτην κυριος ο θεος σου εις τας χειρας σου και παταξεις παν αρσενικον αυτης εν φονω μαχαιρας
14 but the women and children and livestock and all else in it that is worth plundering you may take as your booty, and you may use this plunder of your enemies which the LORD, your God, has given you.	14 πλην των γυναικων και της αποσκευης και παντα τα κτηνη και παντα οσα αν υπαρχη εν τη πολει και πασαν την απαρτιαν προνομευσεις σεαυτω και φαγη πασαν την προνομην των εχθρων σου ων κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι
15 "That is how you shall deal with any city at a considerable distance from you, which does not belong to the peoples of this land.	15 ουτως ποιησεις πασας τας πολεις τας μακραν ουσας απο σου σφοδρα αι ουχι εκ των πολεων των εθνων τουτων
16 But in the cities of those nations which the LORD, your God, is giving you as your heritage, you shall not leave a single soul alive.	16 ιδου δε απο των πολεων των εθνων τουτων ων κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι κληρονομειν την γην αυτων ου ζωγρησετε απ' αυτων παν εμπνεον
17 You must doom them all-the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites-as the LORD, your God, has commanded you,	17 αλλ' η αναθεματι αναθεματιειτε αυτους τον χετταιον και αμορραιον και χαναναιον και φερεζαιον και ευαιον και ιεβουσαιον και γεργεσαιον ον τροπον ενετειλατο σοι κυριος ο θεος σου
18 lest they teach you to make any such abominable offerings as they make to their gods, and you thus sin against the LORD, your God.	18 ινα μη διδαξωσιν υμας ποιειν παντα τα βδελυγματα αυτων οσα εποιησαν τοις θεοις αυτων και αμαρτησεσθε εναντιον κυριου του θεου υμων
19 "When you are at war with a city and have to lay siege to it for a long time before you capture it, you shall not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them. You may eat their fruit, but you must not cut down the trees. After all, are the trees of the field men, that they should be included in your siege?	19 εαν δε περικαθισης περι πολιν ημερας πλειους εκπολεμησαι αυτην εις καταλημψιν αυτης ουχι εξολεθρευσεις τα δενδρα αυτης επιβαλειν επ' αυτα σιδηρον αλλ' η απ' αυτου φαγη αυτο δε ουκ εκκοψεις μη ανθρωπος το ξυλον το εν τω αγρω εισελθειν απο προσωπου σου εις τον χαρακα
20 However, those trees which you know are not fruit trees you may destroy, cutting them down to build siegeworks with which to reduce the city that is resisting you.	20 αλλα ξυλον ο επιστασαι οτι ου καρποβρωτον εστιν τουτο εξολεθρευσεις και εκκοψεις και οικοδομησεις χαρακωσιν επι την πολιν ητις ποιει προς σε τον πολεμον εως αν παραδοθη
