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 thine enemy, and hast seen horse and chariot — a people more numerous than thou — thou art not afraid of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] with thee, who is bringing thee up out of the land of Egypt;
2 Ka uchiegni chako lweny, jadolo nosud nyime mondo owuo gi jolweny.
and it hath been, in your drawing near unto the battle, that the priest hath come nigh, and spoken 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 said unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are drawing near to-day to battle against your enemies, let not your hearts be tender, fear not, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their presence,
4 Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ema nodhi kodu mondo okednu kuom wasiku mondo omiu loch.”
for Jehovah your God [is] He who is going with you, to fight for you with your enemies — to save 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 authorities have spoken unto the people, saying, Who [is] the man that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? — let him go and turn back to his house, lest he die in 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 who [is] the man that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not made it common? — let him go and turn back to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man make it common.
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 who [is] the man that hath betrothed a woman, and hath not taken her? — let him go and turn back to his house, lest he die in 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 authorities have added to speak unto the people, and said, Who [is] the man that is afraid and tender of heart? — let him go and turn back to his house, and the heart of his brethren doth not melt like his heart;
9 Kane jodongo osetieko wuoyo gi jolweny negiyiero negi jotelo.
and it hath come to pass as the authorities finish to speak unto the people, that they have appointed princes of the hosts 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 drawest near unto a city to fight against it, then thou hast called unto it for Peace,
11 Ka giyie ma giyawo dhorangeyegi, to ji duto man kanyo nobed e bwo loch e tich matek kendo ginitinu.
and it hath been, if Peace it answer thee, and hath opened to thee, then it hath come to pass — all the people who are found in it are to thee for tributaries, and have served thee.
12 Ka gidagi loso kwe mi gichako kedo kodu, to tiekuru dala maduongʼno.
'And if it doth not make peace with thee, and hath made with thee war, then thou hast laid siege against it,
13 Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ochiwo dala maduongʼno e lwetu, to neguru ji duto man kanyo gi ligangla.
and Jehovah thy God hath given it into thy hand, and thou hast smitten every male of it by the mouth 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.
Only, the women, and the infants, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, thou dost seize for thyself, and thou hast eaten the spoil of thine enemies which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee.
15 Ma e kaka onego utimne mier madongo duto man mabor, to kik utim kamano ne mier machiegni kodu.
So thou dost do to 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.
'Only, of the cities of these peoples which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee [for] an inheritance, thou dost not keep alive any breathing;
17 Tiekgi duto kaka jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osechikou.
for thou dost certainly devote the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as Jehovah 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.
so that they teach you not to do according to all their abominations which they have done to their gods, and ye have sinned against Jehovah 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 layest siege unto a city many days, to fight against it, to capture it, thou dost not destroy its trees to force an axe against them, for of them thou dost eat, and them thou dost not cut down — for man's [is] the tree of the field — to go in at thy presence in the siege.
20 Kata kamano unyalo tongʼo yiende ma ok nyag olemo mondo uketgi ka ohinga mi ukaw dala maduongʼ ma ukedogono.
Only, the tree, which thou knowest that it [is] not a fruit-tree, it thou dost destroy, and hast cut down, and hast built a bulwark against the city which is making with thee war till thou hast subdued it.
