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 shalt go out to wage war against thine enemy, and shalt see the horses and chariots of a people more in number than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them, —for, Yahweh 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 are coming 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 shall say unto them, —Hear, O Israel, ye are coming near to-day, unto battle against your enemies, —let not your heart faint do not fear nor start nor quake because of them.
4 Bai dilia Hina Gode Hi da dilimagale gegesu fidimusa: sigi ahoa. Amaiba: le, dilia da dilima ha lai hasalimu.”
For Yahweh your God, is he that is going 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.
Then shall the officers speak unto the people saying, Who is the man that 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 who is the man that hath planted a vineyard and hath not thrown it open? let him go and return unto his house, —lest he die in the battle, and another man, throw it open.
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 who is the man 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.’
Then shall the officers further speak unto the people, and say—Who is the man that is fearful and faint-hearted? let him go and return unto his house, —lest his brethren’s heart melt as well 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, then shall they appoint captains of hosts 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 shalt come nigh unto a city, to fight against it, —then shalt thou proclaim unto it—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 peace, be the answer it giveth thee, and it open unto thee, then shall it be, that, all the people that are found therein, shall become thy tributaries and 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, but will make war with thee, then shalt thou lay siege to it;
13 Dilia Hina Gode da amo moilai bai bagade dilima iasea, dilia dunu huluane amo ganodini esala amo gobiheiga medole legema.
and Yahweh thy God will deliver it into thy hand, —and 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 shall be in the city—all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take as thy prey, —so shalt thou eat the spoil of thine enemies, whom Yahweh thy God hath delivered unto 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 that are very far away from thee, —which are not of the cities of those 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 which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee as an inheritance, shalt thou not save alive, any breathing thing.
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 devote them to destruction—the Hittites and the Amorites the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, —as Yahweh 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.
lest they teach you to do, according to all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods, —and so ye sin against Yahweh 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 shalt besiege a city for many days to fight against it, to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by wielding against them an axe, when of them, thou mightest eat, them, there-fore shalt thou not cut down, —for, Is the tree of the field, a man, that it should enter, because of thee into the 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.
Nevertheless, the tree of which thou knowest that it is, not a tree yielding food, the same, mayest thou destroy, and cut down, —and so build up a siege-work against the city which is making war with thee, until thou hast subdued it.
