爾欲取城、環攻日久、毋以斧斫樹、其果可食、故勿伐之、田間之樹、豈人也耶、而可攻乎、

When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, do not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can eat their fruit. Do not cut them down. Are the trees people, that you should besiege them?

Suppose you surround a city and get ready to attack it. And suppose you fight against it for a long time in order to capture it. Then don’t chop down its trees and destroy them. You can eat their fruit. So don’t cut them down. Are the trees people? So why should you attack them?

“ When you besiege a city for a long time, making war against it in order to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an axe against them. You may eat from them, but you shall not cut them down. Are the trees in the field human, that they should be besieged by you?

“ When you are attacking a town and the war drags on, you must not cut down the trees with your axes. You may eat the fruit, but do not cut down the trees. Are the trees your enemies, that you should attack them?

“ When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it in order to capture it, do not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can get food from them. Do not cut them down. Are trees of the field human, to come under siege by you?

“ When you besiege a city for a long time, to make war against it in order to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees by swinging an axe against them; for you may eat from them, so you shall not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a human, that it should be besieged by you?

“ When you besiege a city for a long time, while making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them; if you can eat of them, do not cut them down to use in the siege, for the tree of the field is man’s food.

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?

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:

If you besiege a city for a long time while attempting to capture it, you must not chop down its trees, for you may eat fruit from them and should not cut them down. A tree in the field is not human that you should besiege it!

埃及人恶待我们，迫害我们，将苦工加在我们身上。

现在斧子已经放在树根上，凡不结好果子的树就砍下来，丢在火里。

凡属我不结果子的枝子，他就剪掉；凡结果子的，他就修剪干净，使枝子结果子更多。现在你们因我讲给你们的道已经洁净了。你们要常在我里面，我也常在你们里面。枝子若不常在葡萄树上，自己就不能结果子；你们若不常在我里面，也是这样。我就是葡萄树，你们是枝子。常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果子，因为离了我，你们就不能做什么。人若不常在我里面，就像枝子被丢在外面，枯干了，人捡起来，扔进火里烧了。你们若常在我里面，我的话也常在你们里面，凡你们想要的，祈求，就给你们成全。你们多结果子，我父就因此得荣耀，你们也就是我的门徒了。

看见路旁有一棵无花果树，就走到跟前，在树上找不到什么，只有叶子，就对树说：“从今以后，你永不结果子！”那无花果树立刻枯干了。

就对园丁说：‘看哪，我这三年来到这棵无花果树前找果子，竟找不到。把它砍了吧，何必白占土地呢？’园丁回答：‘主啊，今年且留着，等我在树周围掘开土，加上肥料，以后若结果子便罢，不然再把它砍了。’”

“你们要防备假先知。他们到你们这里来，外面披着羊皮，里面却是残暴的狼。岂能在荆棘上摘葡萄呢？岂能在蒺藜里摘无花果呢？凭着他们的果子，就可以认出他们来。这样，凡好树都结好果子，而坏树结坏果子。好树不能结坏果子，坏树也不能结好果子。凡不结好果子的树就砍下来，丢在火里。所以，凭着他们的果子就可以认出他们来。”
