`When thou goest out to battle against thine enemy, and hast seen horse and chariot – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `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,}

³and 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;

⁹and 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,}

¹¹and 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;}

¹⁷for 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,

¹⁸so 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.}

²⁰Only, 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. – Aslan International Ministry

These things having said – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 18 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,

²and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

³Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;

⁴Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?’

⁵they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;’ Jesus saith to them, `I am [he];’ — and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; —

⁶when, therefore, he said to them — `I am [he],’ they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?’ and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;’

⁸Jesus answered, `I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;’

⁹that the word might be fulfilled that he said — `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.’

¹⁰Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear — and the name of the servant was Malchus —

¹¹Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?’

¹²The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,

¹³and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

¹⁴and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

^{15 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,}

¹⁶and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

¹⁷Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?’ he saith, `I am not;’

¹⁸and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

¹⁹The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;

²⁰Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

^{21 why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.’}

²²And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?’

²³Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?’

²⁴Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

²⁵And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?’ he denied, and said, `I am not.’

²⁶One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the garden with him?’

²⁷again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.

²⁸They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

²⁹Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?’

³⁰they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.’

³¹Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him — ye — and according to your law judge him;’ the Jews, therefore, said to him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;’

³²that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

³³Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art the King of the Jews?’

^{34 Jesus answered him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?’}

³⁵Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?’

³⁶Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.’

^{37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?’ Jesus answered, `Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.’}

³⁸Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?’ and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him;

³⁹and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?’

⁴⁰therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one — but Barabbas;’ and Barabbas was a robber. – Aslan International Ministry

Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah – ASLAN International Ministry

The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

²Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they — they transgressed against Me.

³An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.

⁴Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons — corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.

⁵Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostacy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart [is] sick.

⁶From the sole of the foot — unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.

⁷Your land [is] a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers!

⁸And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers — as a city besieged.

⁹Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly — as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!

¹⁰Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,

¹¹`Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.

¹²When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts?

¹³Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense — an abomination it [is] to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity — and a restraint!

¹⁴Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.

¹⁵And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.

¹⁶Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.

¹⁷Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive [for] the widow.

¹⁸Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!

¹⁹If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,

²⁰And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, [By] the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

²¹How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it — now murderers.

²²Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.

²³Thy princes [are] apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.

²⁴Therefore — the affirmation of the Lord — Jehovah of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies,

²⁵And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,

²⁶And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, `A city of righteousness — a faithful city.’

²⁷Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.

²⁸And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is] together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed.

²⁹For [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen.

³⁰For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water.

³¹And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!
