Når du ved Belejringen af en By må holde den indesluttet i lang Tid for at indtage den, må du ikke ødelægge de Træer, der hører til den, ved at svinge Øksen imod dem; fra dem får du Føde; dem må du ikke hugge om; thi mon Markens Træer er Mennesker, at de også skulde rammes af Belejringen?
Dutch Bible 1917
Wanneer gij een stad vele dagen zult belegeren, strijdende tegen haar, om die in te nemen, zo zult gij haar geboomte niet verderven, de bijl daaraan drijvende; want gij zult daarvan eten; daarom zult gij dat niet afhouwen (want het geboomte van het veld is des mensen spijze), opdat het voor uw aangezicht kome tot een bolwerk.
Dutch Bible, Petrus Canisius
Wanneer gij gedurende langere tijd een stad moet insluiten, om haar te belegeren en te veroveren, moogt ge haar bomen niet vernielen en de bijl er in slaan; ge moogt er van eten, maar ze niet vellen. De bomen op het veld zijn toch geen mensen, die door u worden belegerd?
Esperanto Bible
Se vi dum longa tempo sieĝos urbon, por militakiri ĝin kaj preni ĝin, ne ruinigu ĝiajn arbojn, levante kontraŭ ilin hakilon; ĉar vi povas manĝi fruktojn de ili, tial ne forhaku ilin; ĉar ĉu arbo de kampo estas homo, ke ĝi povus foriri de vi en la fortikaĵon?
French: Bible J.N. Darby
Quand tu assiégeras une ville pendant plusieurs jours en lui faisant la guerre pour la prendre, tu ne détruiras pas ses arbres en levant la hache contre eux, car tu pourras en manger : tu ne les couperas pas, car l’arbre des champs est-il un homme, pour être assiégé par toi ?
French Ostervald Bible
Quand tu assiégeras une ville pendant longtemps, en l'attaquant pour la prendre, tu ne détruiras point ses arbres à coups de cognée, car tu pourras en manger le fruit; tu ne les couperas donc point; car l'arbre des champs est-il un homme, pour être assiégé par toi?

German Unrevised Elberfelder Bible
Wenn du eine Stadt viele Tage belagern wirst, indem du Krieg wider sie führst, um sie einzunehmen, so sollst du ihre Bäume nicht verderben, indem du die Axt gegen sie schwingst (denn du kannst davon essen), und sollst sie nicht abhauen; denn ist der Baum des Feldes ein Mensch, daß er vor dir in Belagerung kommen sollte?
German Luther Bible 1912
Wenn du vor einer Stadt lange Zeit liegen mußt, wider die du streitest, sie zu erobern, so sollst die Bäume nicht verderben, daß du mit Äxten dran fährst; denn du kannst davon essen, darum sollst du sie nicht ausrotten. Ist's doch Holz auf dem Felde und nicht ein Mensch, daß es vor dir ein Bollwerk sein könnte.
German Textbibel
Wenn du eine Stadt behufs ihrer Belagerung lange Zeit einschließen mußt, um sie zu erobern, so verdirb nicht die zu ihr gehörenden Bäume, indem du die Axt an sie legst, sondern genieße ihre Früchte, sie selbst aber haue nicht um. Oder sind etwa die Bäume des Feldes Menschen, daß auch sie der Belagerung von dir unterworfen werden sollten?
German Schlachter Bible 1951
Wenn du lange Zeit vor einer Stadt liegen mußt, wider die du streitest, um sie einzunehmen, so sollst du ihre Bäume nicht verderben, indem du die Axt daran legst; denn du kannst davon essen, darum sollst du sie nicht abhauen. Ist denn ein solcher Baum des Feldes ein Mensch, daß er von dir mit in die Belagerung einbezogen wird?

Italian Diodati Bible
Quando tu terrai l'assedio a una città lungo tempo, combattendola per pigliarla, non guastar gli alberi di essa, avventando la scure contro a essi; perciocchè d'essi potrai mangiare, e però non tagliarli; perciocchè è forse l'albero della campagna un uomo, per entrar dentro alla fortezza, fuggendo d'innanzi a te?
Italian Riveduta Bible
Quando cingerai d’assedio una città per lungo tempo, attaccandola per prenderla, 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 includere nell’assedio?

Clementine Vulgate 1598
Quando obsederis civitatem multo tempore, et munitionibus circumdederis ut expugnes eam, non succides arbores, de quibus vesci potest, nec securibus per circuitum debes vastare regionem: quoniam lignum est, et non homo, nec potest bellantium contra te augere numerum.
Old Persion Version Bible
چون برای گرفتن شهری با آن جنگ کنی، وآن را روزهای بسیار محاصره نمایی، تبر بر درختهایش مزن و آنها را تلف مساز. چونکه ازآنها میخوری پس آنها را قطع منما، زیرا آیادرخت صحرا انسان است تا آن را محاصره نمایی؟
World Portuguese Bible
Quando você sitiar uma cidade por muito tempo, fazendo guerra contra ela para tomá-la, você não destruirá as suas árvores brandindo um machado contra elas; pois você poderá comer delas. Você não as cortará, pois acaso a árvore do campo é um homem, para que seja sitiada por você?
Portuguese Bíblia Livre
Quando puseres cerco a alguma cidade, lutando contra ela muitos dias para tomá-la, não destruas seu arvoredo metendo nele machado, porque dele comerás; e não o cortarás, que não é homem a árvore do campo para vir contra ti no cerco.
