Deuteronomy 20:4 (YLT) Young's Literal Translation

1 `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;
2 and it hath been, in your drawing near unto the battle, that the priest hath come nigh, and spoken unto the people,
3 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,
4 for Jehovah your God is He who is going with you, to fight for you with your enemies -- to save you.
5 `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.
6 `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.
7 `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.
8 `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;
9 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.
10 `When thou drawest near unto a city to fight against it, then thou hast called unto it for Peace,
11 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.
12 `And if it doth not make peace with thee, and hath made with thee war, then thou hast laid siege against it,
13 and Jehovah thy God hath given it into thy hand, and thou hast smitten every male of it by the mouth of the sword.
14 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.
15 So thou dost do to all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16 `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;
17 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,
18 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.
19 `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.
20 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.

7 And what H4310 W-IGAT man H376 D-NMS is there that H834 RPRO hath betrothed H781 a wife H802 NFS , and hath not H3808 W-NPAR taken H3947 her ? let him go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house H1004 L-CMS-3MS , lest H6435 CONJ he die H4191 VQY3MS in the battle H4421 , and another H312 AMS man H376 D-NMS take H3947 her .
8 And the officers H7860 shall speak H1696 further H3254 unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , and they shall say H559 W-VQQ3MP , What H4310 IPRO man H376 D-NMS is there that is fearful H3373 and fainthearted H7390 ? let him go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house H1004 L-CMS-3MS , lest H3808 W-NPAR his brethren H251 NMP-3MS \'s heart H3824 faint H4549 as well as his heart H3824 .
9 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when the officers H7860 have made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , that they shall make H6485 captains H8269 CMP of the armies H6635 to lead H7218 B-NMS the people H5971 D-NMS .
10 When H3588 CONJ thou comest nigh H7126 unto H413 PREP a city H5892 GFS to fight H3898 against H5921 PREP-3FS it , then proclaim H7121 peace H7965 unto H413 PREP it .
11 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , if H518 PART it make thee answer H6030 of peace H7965 NMS , and open H6605 unto thee , then it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that is found H4672 therein shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS tributaries H4522 unto thee , and they shall serve H5647 thee .
12 And if H518 W-PART it will make no peace H7999 with H5973 PREP-2FS thee , but will make H6213 war H4421 NFS against H5973 PREP-2MS thee , then thou shalt besiege H6696 it :
13 And when the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS hath delivered H5414 it into thine hands H3027 B-CFS-2MS , thou shalt smite H5221 every H3605 NMS male H2138 thereof with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 GFS :
14 But H7535 ADV the women H802 D-NFP , and the little ones H2945 , and the cattle H929 WD-NFS , and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO is H1961 VQY3MS in the city H5892 BD-NFS , even all H3605 NMS the spoil H7998 thereof , shalt thou take H962 unto thyself ; and thou shalt eat H398 the spoil H7998 of thine enemies H341 VQPMP-2MS , which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS hath given H5414 VQQ3MS thee .
