When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations； whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee； and thou succeedest them； and dwellest in their cities； and in their houses；
19：2就要在耶和华你神所赐你为业的地上分定三座城。
Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land； which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it。
19：3要将耶和华你神使你承受为业的地分为三段。又要预备道路，使误杀人的，都可以逃到那里去。
Thou shalt prepare thee a way； and divide the coasts of thy land； which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit； into three parts； that every slayer may flee thither。
19：4误杀人的逃到那里可以存活，定例乃是这样，凡素无仇恨，无心杀了人的，
And this is the case of the slayer； which shall flee thither； that he may live： Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly； whom he hated not in time past；
19：5就如人与邻舍同入树林砍伐树木，手拿斧子一砍，本想砍下树木，不料，斧头脱了把，飞落在邻舍身上，以致于死，这人逃到那些城的一座城，就可以存活，
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood； and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree； and the head slippeth from the helve； and lighteth upon his neighbour； that he die； he shall flee unto one of those cities； and live：
19：6免得报血仇的，心中火热追赶他，因路远就追上，将他杀死。其实他不该死，因为他与被杀的素无仇恨。
Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer； while his heart is hot； and overtake him； because the way is long； and slay him； whereas he was not worthy of death； inasmuch as he hated him not in time past。
19：7所以我吩咐你说，要分定三座城。
Wherefore I mand thee； saying； Thou shalt separate three cities for thee。
19：8耶和华你神若照他向你列祖所起的誓扩张你的境界，将所应许赐你列祖的地全然给你，
And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast； as he hath sworn unto thy fathers； and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers；
19：9你若谨守遵行我今日所吩咐的这一切诫命，爱耶和华你的神，常常遵行他的道，就要在这三座城之外，再添三座城，
If thou shalt keep all these mandments to do them； which I mand thee this day； to love the LORD thy God； and to walk ever in his ways； then shalt thou add three cities more for thee； beside these three：
19：10免得无辜之人的血流在耶和华你神所赐你为业的地上，流血的罪就归于你。
That innocent blood be not shed in thy land； which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance； and so blood be upon thee。
19：11若有人恨他的邻舍，埋伏着起来击杀他，以致于死，便逃到这些城的一座城，
But if any man hate his neighbour； and lie in wait for him； and rise up against him； and smite him mortally that he die； and fleeth into one of these cities：
19：12本城的长老就要打发人去，从那里带出他来，交在报血仇的手中，将他治死。
Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence； and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood； that he may die。
19：13你眼不可顾惜他，却要从以色列中除掉流无辜血的罪，使你可以得福。
Thine eye shall not pity him； but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel； that it may go well with thee。
19：14在耶和华你神所赐你承受为业之地，不可挪移你邻舍的地界，那是先人所定的。
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark； which they of old time have set in thine inheritance； which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it。
19：15人无论犯什么罪，作什么恶，不可凭一个人的口作见证，总要凭两三个人的口作见证才可定案。
One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity； or for any sin； in any sin that he sinneth： at the mouth of two witnesses； or at the mouth of three witnesses； shall the matter be established。
19：16若有凶恶的见证人起来，见证某人作恶，
If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong；
19：17这两个争讼的人就要站在耶和华面前，和当时的祭司，并审判官面前，
Then both the men； between whom the controversy is； shall stand before the LORD； before the priests and the judges； which shall be in those days；
19：18审判官要细细地查究，若见证人果然是作假见证的，以假见证陷害弟兄，
And the judges shall make diligent inquisition： and； behold； if the witness be a false witness； and hath testified falsely against his brother；
19：19你们就要待他如同他想要待的弟兄。这样，就把那恶从你们中间除掉。
Then shall ye do unto him； as he had thought to have done unto his brother： so shalt thou put the evil away from among you。
19：20别人听见都要害怕，就不敢在你们中间再行这样的恶了。
And those which remain shall hear； and fear； and shall henceforth mit no more any such evil among you。
19：21你眼不可顾惜，要以命偿命，以眼还眼，以牙还牙，以手还手，以脚还脚。
And thine eye shall not pity； but life shall go for life； eye for eye； tooth for tooth； hand for hand； foot for foot。
旧约 申命记（Deuteronomy） 第 20 章 （ 本篇共有 34 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
20：1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 thou goest out to battle against thine enemies； and seest horses； and chariots； and a people more than thou； be not afraid of them： for the LORD thy God is with thee； which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt。
20：2你们将要上阵的时候，祭司要到百姓面前宣告，
And it shall be； when ye are e nigh unto the battle； that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people；
20：3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。
And shall say unto them； Hear； O Israel； ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies： let not your hearts faint； fear not； and do not tremble； neither be ye terrified because of them；
20：4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 is he that goeth with you； to fight for you against your enemies； to save you。
20：5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。
And the officers shall speak unto the people； saying； What man is there that hath built a new house； and hath not dedicated it？ let him go and return to his house； lest he die in the battle； and another man dedicate it。
20：6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。
And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard； and hath not yet eaten of it？ let him also go and return unto his house； lest he die in the battle； and another man eat of it。
20：7谁聘定了妻，尚未迎娶，他可以回家去，恐怕他阵亡，别人去娶。
And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife； and hath not taken her？ let him go and return unto his house； lest he die in the battle； and another man take her。
20：8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。
And the officers shall speak further unto the people； and they shall say； What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted？ let him go and return unto his house； lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart。
20：9官长对百姓宣告完了，就当派军长率领他们。
And it shall be； when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people； that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people。
20：10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 thou est nigh unto a city to fight against it； then proclaim peace unto it。
20：11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。
And it shall be； if it make thee answer of peace； and open unto thee； then it shall be； that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee； and they shall serve thee。
20：12若不肯与你和好，反要与你打仗，你就要围困那城。
And if it will make no peace with thee； but will make war against thee； then thou shalt besiege it：
20：13耶和华你的神把城交付你手，你就要用刀杀尽这城的男丁。
And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands； thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword：
20：14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； and the little ones； and the cattle； and all that is in the city； even all the spoil thereof； shalt thou take unto thyself； and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies； which the LORD thy God hath given thee。
20：15离你甚远的各城，不是这些国民的城，你都要这样待他。
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee； which are not of the cities of these nations。
20：16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。
But of the cities of these people； which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance； thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth：
20：17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，
But thou shalt utterly destroy them； namely； the Hittites； and the Amorites； the Canaanites； and the Perizzites； the Hivites； and the Jebusites； as the LORD thy God hath manded thee：
20：18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。
That they teach you not to do after all their abominations； which they have done unto their gods； so should ye sin against the LORD your God。
20：19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 thou shalt besiege a city a long time； in making war against it to take it； thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them：
