< Deuteronomy 20 >

1 When you go out to war against your enemies and see horses, chariots, and an army larger than yours, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you.
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.
2 When you are about to go into battle, the priest is to come forward and address the army,
Dilia da gegemusa: ahoasea, gobele salasu dunu da misini, dilia gegesu dunu ilima sia: ma: mu.
3 saying to them, “Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle with your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not be alarmed or terrified because of them.
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.
4 For the LORD your God goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.”
Bai dilia Hina Gode Hi da dilimagale gegesu fidimusa: sigi ahoa. Amaiba: le, dilia da dilima ha lai hasalimu.”
5 Furthermore, the officers are to address the army, saying, “Has any man built a new house and not dedicated it? Let him return home, or he may die in battle and another man dedicate it.
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.
6 Has any man planted a vineyard and not begun to enjoy its fruit? Let him return home, or he may die in battle and another man enjoy its fruit.
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.
7 Has any man become pledged to a woman and not married her? Let him return home, or he may die in battle and another man marry her.”
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.’
8 Then the officers shall speak further to the army, saying, “Is any man afraid or fainthearted? Let him return home, so that the hearts of his brothers will not melt like his own.”
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.’
9 When the officers have finished addressing the army, they are to appoint commanders to lead it.
Ouligisu dunu da gegesu dunuma sia: i dagosea, ilia da amo gegesu dunu afae afae lale, ilia da ouligisu hawa: hamoma: ne ilegemu.
10 When you approach a city to fight against it, you are to make an offer of peace.
Dilia da moilai bai bagade amoga gegemusa: ahoasea, amo fi dunu da gegemu hihiba: le olofomusa: dawa: bela: le adole ba: ma.
11 If they accept your offer of peace and open their gates, all the people there will become forced laborers to serve you.
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.
12 But if they refuse to make peace with you and wage war against you, lay siege to that city.
Be ilia da olofosu higasea, amola dilima bu gegemusa: dawa: sea, defea, amo moilaiga doagala: musa: masa.
13 When the LORD your God has delivered it into your hand, you must put every male to the sword.
Dilia Hina Gode da amo moilai bai bagade dilima iasea, dilia dunu huluane amo ganodini esala amo gobiheiga medole legema.
14 But the women, children, livestock, and whatever else is in the city—all its spoil—you may take as plunder, and you shall use the spoil of your enemies that the LORD your God gives you.
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.
15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are far away from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
Moilai bai bagade da dilia gesowale fimu soge amoga gadenene hame galea, dilia amo hou ilima hamoma.
16 However, in the cities of the nations that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you must not leave alive anything that breathes.
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.
17 For you must devote them to complete destruction —the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you,
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.
18 so that they cannot teach you to do all the detestable things they do for their gods, and so cause you to sin against the LORD your God.
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.
19 When you lay siege to a city for an extended time while fighting against it to capture it, you must not destroy its trees by putting an axe to them, because you can eat their fruit. You must not cut them down. Are the trees of the field human, that you should besiege them?
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.
20 But you may destroy the trees that you know do not produce fruit. Use them to build siege works against the city that is waging war against you, until it falls.
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.
