כָּל כְּלֵי הַמִּלְחָמָה אין יוֹצְאִין בָּהֶן בְּשַׁבָּת. וְאִם יָצָא אִם הָיוּ כֵּלִים שֶׁהֵן דֶּרֶךְ מַלְבּוּשׁ כְּגוֹן שִׁרְיוֹן וְכוֹבַע וּמַגָּפַיִם שֶׁעַל הָרַגְלַיִם הֲרֵי זֶה פָּטוּר. וְאִם יָצָא בְּכֵלִים שֶׁאֵינָן דֶּרֶךְ מַלְבּוּשׁ כְּגוֹן רֹמַח וְסַיִף וְקֶשֶׁת וְאַלָּה וּתְרִיס הֲרֵי זֶה חַיָּב:
1 We may not go out (to a public domain) with any vessels of war on Shabbat. But if one did go out with them: If the vessels were in the way of clothing - such as armor or a helmet or boots upon his feet - he is certainly exempt. But if he went out with vessels that were not in the way of clothing - such as a spear, a sword, a targe or a (triangular) shield - he is certainly liable.
