| 2 | And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, | And it shall be, when ye draw nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, | Così, quando sarete sul punto di dare battaglia, il sacerdote si farà avanti e parlerà al popolo |
| 3 | 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; | and shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye draw nigh this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint; fear not, nor tremble, neither be ye affrighted at them; | e gli dirà: "Ascolta, Israele! Oggi voi state per dare battaglia ai vostri nemici; il vostro cuore non venga meno; non abbiate paura, non vi smarrite e non vi spaventate davanti a loro, |
| 4 | For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. | for Jehovah your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. | perché l'Eterno, il vostro DIO, è colui che marcia con voi per combattere per voi contro i vostri nemici e per salvarvi. |

Se ne vada e ritorni a casa sua, perché non abbia a morire in battaglia e un altro ne goda il frutto. |

| 10 | When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. | When thou drawest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. | Quando ti avvicinerai a una città per attaccarla, le offrirai prima la pace. |
| 11 | 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. | And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found therein shall become tributary unto thee, and shall serve thee. | Se accetta la tua offerta di pace e ti apre le sue porte, tutto il popolo che vi si trova pagherà i tributi e ti servirà. |
| 12 | And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: | And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: | Ma se non vuole far pace con te e ti vuole far guerra, allora la stringerai d'assedio. |

| 14 | 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. | 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 for a prey unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee. | ma le donne i bambini, il bestiame e tutto ciò che sarà nella città, tutto quanto il suo bottino, li prenderai come tua preda; e mangerai il bottino dei tuoi nemici che l'Eterno, il tuo DIO, ti ha dato. |
| 15 | Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. | Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. | Così farai per tutte le città che sono molto lontane da te e che non sono città di queste nazioni. |
| 16 | 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: | But of the cities of these peoples, that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth; | Ma delle città di questi popoli che l'Eterno, il tuo DIO, ti dà in eredità, non lascerai niente che respiri in vita; |
| 17 | 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 commanded thee: | but thou shalt utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee; | ma li voterai a completo sterminio, e cioè: gli Hittei, gli Amorei, i Cananei, i Perezei, gli Hivvei e i Gebusei, come l'Eterno, il tuo DIO, ti ha comandato, |
| 18 | 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. | that they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so would ye sin against Jehovah your God. | Affinché essi non vi insegnino a imitare tutte le abominazioni che fanno per i loro dèi, e voi non pecchiate contro l'Eterno, il vostro DIO. |
| 19 | 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: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege: | 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 wielding an axe against them; for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged of thee? | Quando stringerai d'assedio una città per lungo tempo, combattendo contro di essa per espugnarla, non ne distruggerai gli alberi a colpi di scure; ne mangerai il frutto, ma non li abbatterai; poiché l'albero della campagna è forse un uomo che tu l'abbia ad usare nell'assedio? |
| 20 | Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued. | Only the trees of which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it fall. | Ma potrai distruggere e abbattere gli alberi che sai non essere alberi da frutto, per costruire opere d'assedio contro la città che ti fa guerra, finché non sia caduta. |
