1 »Cuando salgas a la guerra y veas delante de ti un gran número de caballos y carros, y un ejército mucho mayor que el tuyo, no tengas miedo. El Señor tu Dios, el mismo Dios que te sacó de Egipto, está contigo.
1 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, chariots, and a people more numerous than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for Yahweh your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.
2 Antes de comenzar la batalla, el sacerdote se pondrá de pie delante del ejército de Israel y dirá:
2 It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
3 “Oye, Israel, ahora que sales a la batalla no tengas miedo.
3 and shall tell them, “Hear, Israel, you draw near today to battle against your enemies. Don’t let your heart faint! Don’t be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;
4 El Señor tu Dios va contigo. Él peleará en favor tuyo contra tus enemigos, y te dará la victoria”.
4 for Yahweh your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”
5 »Enseguida los oficiales del ejército se dirigirán a sus hombres de esta manera: “¿Ha edificado alguno una casa nueva y no la ha estrenado? Si hay alguno en esta situación, váyase a su casa, no sea que muera en la batalla y otro la estrene.
5 The officers shall speak to the people, saying, “What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6 ¿Acaba alguno de plantar una viña y aún no ha comido de su fruto? Si este es el caso, váyase a su casa, podría morir en la batalla y otro podría disfrutar de lo que no plantó.
6 What man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not used its fruit? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use its fruit.
7 ¿Se ha comprometido alguien en matrimonio? Bien, váyase a su casa y cásese, porque podría morir en la batalla y otro podría casarse con su novia.
7 What man is there who has pledged to be married to a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.”
8 ¿Hay alguno que tiene miedo? Si tiene miedo, que se vaya a su casa, antes que contagie con su miedo al resto del ejército”.
8 The officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, “What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brother’s heart melt as his heart.”
9 Cuando los oficiales hayan terminado de decir esto a sus hombres, anunciarán los nombres de los comandantes de los batallones.
9 It shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall appoint captains of armies at the head of the people.
10 »Cuando te acerques a una ciudad para pelear contra ella, primero ofrécele la paz.
10 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
11 Si acepta las condiciones de paz y te abre sus puertas, todo su pueblo pasará a ser tributario de ustedes.
11 It shall be, if it gives you answer of peace and opens to you, then it shall be that all the people who are found therein shall become forced laborers to you, and shall serve you.
12 Pero si rechaza las condiciones de paz, deberás sitiarla.
12 If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.
13 Cuando el Señor tu Dios te la haya dado, matarás a todo varón de la ciudad,
13 When Yahweh your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword;
14 pero conservarás para ti las mujeres, los niños, el ganado y el botín. Y podrás comer del botín de tus enemigos, que el Señor tu Dios te entregó.
14 but the women, the little ones, the livestock, and all that is in the city, even all its plunder, you shall take for plunder for yourself. You may use the plunder of your enemies, which Yahweh your God has given you.
15 Estas instrucciones se aplican sólo a ciudades que están distantes y no pertenecen a las naciones vecinas.
15 Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16 »En las ciudades que están dentro de los límites de la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da, no perdonarás a nadie; destruirás a todo ser viviente.
16 But of the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
17 Destruirás completamente a los hititas, a los amorreos, a los cananeos, a los ferezeos, a los heveos, y a los jebuseos. Este es el mandamiento del Señor tu Dios.
17 but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as Yahweh your God has commanded you;
18 El propósito de este mandamiento es evitar que el pueblo de la tierra te induzca a adorar sus ídolos y a participar en sus costumbres abominables, haciéndote pecar gravemente contra el Señor tu Dios.
18 that they not teach you to follow all their abominations, which they have done for their gods; so would you sin against Yahweh your God.
19 »Cuando pongas sitio a una ciudad, no destruirás sus árboles frutales. Podrás comer toda la fruta que quieras, pero no cortes los árboles. Ellos no son enemigos, por lo tanto no hay que cortarlos:
19 When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them; for you may eat of them. You shall not cut them down, for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged by you?
20 Pero puedes talar los árboles que no den fruta. Úsalos en el sitio de ciudades enemigas para hacer escaleras, baluartes y arietes.
20 Only the trees that you know are not trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down. You shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
