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 you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, chariots, and a people more than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for Adonai your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
2 Dilia da gegemusa: ahoasea, gobele salasu dunu da misini, dilia gegesu dunu ilima sia: ma: mu.
It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to 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 shall tell them, “Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, Israel [God prevails], you draw near today to battle against your enemies. Don’t let your heart faint! Don’t be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;
4 Bai dilia Hina Gode Hi da dilimagale gegesu fidimusa: sigi ahoa. Amaiba: le, dilia da dilima ha lai hasalimu.”
for Adonai your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save 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.
The officers shall speak to the people, saying, “What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and teshuvah ·completely return· to 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.
What man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not used its fruit? Let him go and teshuvah ·completely return· to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use its fruit.
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.’
What man is there who has pledged to be married a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and teshuvah ·completely return· to 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.’
The officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, “What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and teshuvah ·completely return· to his house, lest his brother’s heart melt 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.
It shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall appoint captains of 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 you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
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.
It shall be, if it makes you answer of peace, and opens to you, then it shall be, that all the people who are found therein shall become forced laborers to you, and shall serve you.
12 Be ilia da olofosu higasea, amola dilima bu gegemusa: dawa: sea, defea, amo moilaiga doagala: musa: masa.
If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.
13 Dilia Hina Gode da amo moilai bai bagade dilima iasea, dilia dunu huluane amo ganodini esala amo gobiheiga medole legema.
When Adonai your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it 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, the little ones, the livestock, and all that is in the city, even all its plunder, you shall take for plunder for yourself. You may use the plunder of your enemies, which Adonai your God has given you.
15 Moilai bai bagade da dilia gesowale fimu soge amoga gadenene hame galea, dilia amo hou ilima hamoma.
Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, 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 peoples, that Adonai your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
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 you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher]; as Adonai your God has enjoined you;
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.
that they not teach you to follow all their abominations, which they have done to their deities; so would you sin ·err (from the standard goal)· against Adonai 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 you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them; for you may eat of them. You shall not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged by you?
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 the trees that you know are not trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down. You shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
