Rapar Mar Chik 20
1 Ka udhi kedo gi wasiku kendo uneno farese, geche mag lweny kod jolweny motegno moloyou, to kik gimiu luoro nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, mane ogolou e piny Misri nobed kodu.
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 Ka uchiegni chako lweny, jadolo nosud nyime mondo owuo gi jolweny.
And it shall be, when ye come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people;
3 Enowach niya, “Winjuru, yaye jo-Israel kawuono udhi kedo gi wasiku, kik chunyu aa kata luoro maku, kik kihondko gou bende kik utetni e nyimgi.
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 Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ema nodhi kodu mondo okednu kuom wasiku mondo omiu loch.”
For the Lord your God it is who goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to help you.
5 Jodongo nowach ne jolweny niya, “Bende ngʼato osegero ot manyien ma oweyo odno kapok orwako? Onego odog dala nikech dipo ka otho e lweny ma ngʼat machielo ema orwako odno.
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 Bende ngʼato osepidho mzabibu ma ok ochako chamo olembe? Onego odog dala nikech dipoka otho e lweny ma ngʼat machielo ema bi cham olemono.
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 Bende ngʼato osesingore ne nyako moro nokendo ma ok okende? Onego odog dala nikech dipoka otho e lweny ma ngʼat machielo ema kend nyakono.”
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 Eka jotelo nowach kendo niya, “Bende ngʼato nitie ka man-gi luoro kata ma chunye ool? Onego odog dala mondo owetene bende kik chunygi ool.”
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 Kane jodongo osetieko wuoyo gi jolweny negiyiero negi jotelo.
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 Ka uwuok dhi monjo dala maduongʼno, to penjuru jo-dalano ka gidwaro timo kodu winjruok mar kwe.
When thou comest nigh unto a city to make war against it, then summon it with words of peace.
11 Ka giyie ma giyawo dhorangeyegi, to ji duto man kanyo nobed e bwo loch e tich matek kendo ginitinu.
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 Ka gidagi loso kwe mi gichako kedo kodu, to tiekuru dala maduongʼno.
But if it will not make peace with thee, and wageth war against thee; then shalt thou besiege it;
13 Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ochiwo dala maduongʼno e lwetu, to neguru ji duto man kanyo gi ligangla.
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 To mon, nyithindo, jamni kod gik moko duto manie iye kawgiuru duto ka gik muyako kendo unyalo kawo gik muyako ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu omiyou koa kuom wasiku.
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 Ma e kaka onego utimne mier madongo duto man mabor, to kik utim kamano ne mier machiegni kodu.
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 Kata kamano e mier madongo duto mag ogendini ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kaka girkeni, kik uwe gimoro amora mayweyo kangima.
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 Tiekgi duto kaka jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osechikou.
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 Ka ok kamano to gibiro puonjou mondo utim gik mamono ma gitimo kagilamo nyisechigi kendo unutim richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
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 Ka umonjo dala maduongʼ ma ukedo kuom kinde mangʼeny kapok ukawe, to kik uketh yien mage ka utongʼogi gi le mi ugogi piny nikech unyalo chamo olembene. Bende yien manie piny gin ji madimi ukethgi?
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 Kata kamano unyalo tongʼo yiende ma ok nyag olemo mondo uketgi ka ohinga mi ukaw dala maduongʼ ma ukedogono.
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.
