出战时不要惧怕

¹“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。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.

²你们将要上阵的时候，祭司要到百姓面前宣告When you are about to go into battle, the priest is to come forward and address the army,

³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；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.

⁴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。’For the LORD your God goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.”

可以回家的人

⁵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。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.

⁶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。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.

⁷谁聘定了妻，尚未迎娶，他可以回家去，恐怕他阵亡，别人去娶。’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.”

⁸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。’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.”

⁹官长对百姓宣告完了，就当派军长率领他们。When the officers have finished addressing the army, they are to appoint commanders to lead it.

攻城前先提和睦

¹⁰“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。When you approach a city to fight against it, you are to make an offer of peace.

¹¹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；If they accept your offer of peace and open their gates, all the people there will become forced laborers to serve you.

¹²若不肯与你和好，反要与你打仗，你就要围困那城。But if they refuse to make peace with you and wage war against you, lay siege to that city.

¹³耶和华—你的　神把城交付你手，你就要用刀杀尽这城的男丁。When the LORD your God has delivered it into your hand, you must put every male to the sword.

¹⁴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。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.

¹⁵离你甚远的各城，不是这些国民的城，你都要这样待他。This is how you are to treat all the cities that are far away from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.

迦南诸族要灭尽

¹⁶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；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.

¹⁷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，For you must devote them to complete destruction—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you,

¹⁸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。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.

围城时不可砍果树

¹⁹“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？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?

²⁰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。”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.

查不出凶手的命案

¹“在耶和华—你　神所赐你为业的地上，若遇见被杀的人倒在田野，不知道是谁杀的，If one is found slain, lying in a field in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him,

²长老和审判官就要出去，从被杀的人那里量起，直量到四围的城邑，your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the neighboring cities.

³看哪城离被杀的人最近，那城的长老就要从牛群中取一只未曾耕地、未曾负轭的母牛犊，Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,

⁴把母牛犊牵到流水、未曾耕种的山谷去，在谷中打折母牛犊的颈项。bring the heifer to a valley with running water that has not been plowed or sown, and break its neck there by the stream.

⁵祭司利未的子孙要近前来；因为耶和华—你的　神拣选了他们事奉他，奉耶和华的名祝福，所有争讼殴打的事都要凭他们判断。And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and pronounce blessings in His name and to give a ruling in every dispute and case of assault.

⁶那城的众长老，就是离被杀的人最近的，要在那山谷中，在所打折颈项的母牛犊以上洗手，Then all the elders of the city nearest the victim shall wash their hands by the stream over the heifer whose neck has been broken,

⁷祷告（原文是回答）说：‘我们的手未曾流这人的血；我们的眼也未曾看见这事。and they shall declare, “Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.

⁸耶和华啊，求你赦免你所救赎的以色列民，不要使流无辜血的罪归在你的百姓以色列中间。’这样，流血的罪必得赦免。Accept this atonement, O LORD, for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.” And the bloodshed will be atoned for.

⁹你行耶和华眼中看为正的事，就可以从你们中间除掉流无辜血的罪。”So you shall purge from among you the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD.

娶被掳的女子

¹⁰“你出去与仇敌争战的时候，耶和华—你的　神将他们交在你手中，你就掳了他们去。When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive,

¹¹若在被掳的人中见有美貌的女子，恋慕她，要娶她为妻，if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife,

¹²就可以领她到你家里去；她便要剃头发，修指甲，then you shall bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim her nails,

¹³脱去被掳时所穿的衣服，住在你家里哀哭父母一个整月，然后可以与她同房。你作她的丈夫，她作你的妻子。and put aside the clothing of her captivity. After she has lived in your house a full month and mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

¹⁴后来你若不喜悦她，就要由她随意出去，决不可为钱卖她，也不可当婢女待她，因为你玷污了她。”And if you are not pleased with her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes. But you must not sell her for money or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.

长子的名分

¹⁵“人若有二妻，一为所爱，一为所恶，所爱的、所恶的都给他生了儿子，但长子是所恶之妻生的。If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son,

¹⁶到了把产业分给儿子承受的时候，不可将所爱之妻生的儿子立为长子，在所恶之妻生的儿子以上，when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.

¹⁷却要认所恶之妻生的儿子为长子，将产业多加一分给他；因这儿子是他力量强壮的时候生的，长子的名分本当归他。”Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him.

顽梗悖逆的儿子

¹⁸“人若有顽梗悖逆的儿子，不听从父母的话，他们虽惩治他，他仍不听从，If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined,

¹⁹父母就要抓住他，将他带到本地的城门、本城的长老那里，his father and mother are to lay hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown,

²⁰对长老说：‘我们这儿子顽梗悖逆，不听从我们的话，是贪食好酒的人。’and say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”

²¹本城的众人就要用石头将他打死。这样，就把那恶从你们中间除掉，以色列众人都要听见害怕。”Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. So you must purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.

被挂在木头上的尸首

²²“人若犯该死的罪，被治死了，你将他挂在木头上，If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,

²³他的尸首不可留在木头上过夜，必要当日将他葬埋，免得玷污了耶和华—你　神所赐你为业之地。因为被挂的人是在　神面前受咒诅的。you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

²你弟兄若离你远，或是你不认识他，就要牵到你家去，留在你那里，等你弟兄来寻找就还给他。If your brother does not live near you, or if you do not know who he is, you are to take the animal home to remain with you until your brother comes seeking it; then you can return it to him.

男女衣着与鸟窝

⁵“妇女不可穿戴男子所穿戴的，男子也不可穿妇女的衣服，因为这样行都是耶和华—你　神所憎恶的。A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.

⁶“你若路上遇见鸟窝，或在树上或在地上，里头有雏或有蛋，母鸟伏在雏上或在蛋上，你不可连母带雏一并取去。If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, you must not take the mother along with the young.

⁷总要放母，只可取雏；这样你就可以享福，日子得以长久。You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.
