Mousese Ea Malasu 20
1 Dilia da dilima ha lai dunu amoga gegemusa: ahoasea, ilia hosi bagade amola sa: liode bagohame amola dunu bagohame dilia dunu idi amo bagade baligisa, amo ba: sea mae beda: ma. Bai dilia Hina Gode amo da dili Idibidi soge fisimusa: guiguda: oule misi, Hi da dili sigi masunu.
When thou goest out to battle against thy enemies, and thou seest horse, and chariot, people more in number than thou: be not afraid of them; for the Lord thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2 Dilia da gegemusa: ahoasea, gobele salasu dunu da misini, dilia gegesu dunu ilima sia: ma: mu.
And it shall be, when ye come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people;
3 E da agoane sia: mu, “Isala: ili dunu nabima! Dilia da wali eso dilima ha lai dunu ilima gegemusa: ahoa. Dilia mae beda: ma! Dilia beda: iba: le mae hobeama.
And he shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye come nigh this day unto the battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and be not downcast, and do not tremble because of them:
4 Bai dilia Hina Gode Hi da dilimagale gegesu fidimusa: sigi ahoa. Amaiba: le, dilia da dilima ha lai hasalimu.”
For the Lord your God it is who goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to help you.
5 Dadi gagui ouligisu dunu da gegesu dunu ilima amane sia: ma: mu, ‘Nowa dunu da diasu gaheabolo gagui be doasima: ne hame lolo mai, e da ea diasu doasima: ne buhagimu da defea. E da bogosea eno dunu da ea diasu doasisa: besa: le, e da buhagimu da defea.
And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there who hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6 Nowa dunu da waini sagai dagoi be amo ea ha: i manu hame mai. E amola buhagimu da defea. E da gegesu amo ganodini bogosea amola eno dunu ea waini hahawane nasa: besa: le, buhagimu da defea.
And what man is there who hath planted a vineyard, and hath not redeemed it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man redeem it.
7 Nowa dunu da uda lama: ne sia: si be hame lai galea, e amola da buhagili amo uda lamu da defea. E da gegesu amo ganodini bogosea amola eno dunu ea uda lasa: besa: le, buhagimu da defea.’
And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
8 Amasea, dadi gagui ouligisu dunu da eno amane sia: ma: mu, ‘Nowa dunu da ea dogo hame denesi amola beda: i galea buhagimu da defea. Ea na: iyado dunu da ea beda: i hou ba: sea, ilia amola da beda: sa: besa: le, ilia buhagimu da defea.’
And the officers shall speak yet farther unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and faint-hearted? let him go and return unto his house, that the heart of his brethren become not as faint as his heart.
9 Ouligisu dunu da gegesu dunuma sia: i dagosea, ilia da amo gegesu dunu afae afae lale, ilia da ouligisu hawa: hamoma: ne ilegemu.
And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall appoint captains of the armies at the head of the people.
10 Dilia da moilai bai bagade amoga gegemusa: ahoasea, amo fi dunu da gegemu hihiba: le olofomusa: dawa: bela: le adole ba: ma.
When thou comest nigh unto a city to make war against it, then summon it with words of peace.
11 Ilia da gegemu hihi galea amola olofomusa: dawa: sea, amola ilia logo ga: su doasisia, defea, amo dunu mae medole, lale, ilia da dilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu.
And it shall be, if it make thee an answer of peace, and open [its gates] unto thee: then shall it be, that all the people that are found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
12 Be ilia da olofosu higasea, amola dilima bu gegemusa: dawa: sea, defea, amo moilaiga doagala: musa: masa.
But if it will not make peace with thee, and wageth war against thee; then shalt thou besiege it;
13 Dilia Hina Gode da amo moilai bai bagade dilima iasea, dilia dunu huluane amo ganodini esala amo gobiheiga medole legema.
And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword;
14 Be uda, mano, ohe fi amola liligi huluane amo moilai bai bagade ganodini diala, amo dilia lama. Dilia Hina Gode da amo liligi dilima ia dagoiba: le, dilia lama.
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that may be in the city, all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take as booty unto thyself; and thou shalt enjoy the spoil of thy enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
15 Moilai bai bagade da dilia gesowale fimu soge amoga gadenene hame galea, dilia amo hou ilima hamoma.
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16 Be dilia moilai bai bagade amo da soge dilia Hina Gode da dilima iaha amo ganodini diala-amo fedele lasea, dilia amo moilai bai bagade ganodini liligi huluane da mifo naha amo medole legema.
But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, shalt thou not let live a single soul.
17 Dilia ili huluane gugunufinisima. Amo da Hidaide, A:moulaide, Ga: ina: naide, Belesaide, Haifaide amola Yebiusaide. Amo huluane, dilia Hina Gode da dilima sia: i defele, medole legema.
But thou shalt utterly devote them; namely, the Hittites, and the Emorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee;
18 Bai ilia wadela: idafa hou ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima sia: ne gadosu hamosea, dilima olelesa: besa: le, dilia da dilia Hina Godema wadela: le hamosa: besa: le, agoane hamoma.
In order that they may not teach you to do in accordance with all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; and ye would thus sin against the Lord your God.
19 Dilia da moilai bai bagade amoga doagala: sea, amola hedolo hame hasalasisia, amo moilai bai bagade ea ha: i manu ifa goaheiga mae abima. Be ilia fage faili moma. Ifa da dunu hame. Amaiba: le, mae hedofama.
When thou besiegest a city a long time, to make war against it to capture it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them; for of them thou mayest eat, and thou shalt not cut them down, [for man liveth of the trees of the field, ] to employ them in thy siege;
20 Be ifa eno amo da ha: i manu fage hame legesa, amo abimu da defea. Amoga dilia da moilai bai bagade mugulumusa: , fafai hamone, moilai bai bagade da dafai dagoi ba: sea fawane yolesima.
Only those trees of which thou knowest that they are not fruit-trees, thou mayest destroy and cut down; and [thus] thou canst build bulwarks against the city that wageth war with thee, until it be subdued.
