Deuteronomy 20
1 And if you should go forth to war against your enemies, and should see horse, and rider, and a people more numerous than yourself; you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God [is] with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
A IA hele oe e kaua aku i kou poe enemi, a ike aku i na lio a me na halekaa, a i na kanaka he nui aku i kou, mai makau ia lakou: no ka mea, me oe no o Iehova o kou Akua, nana oe i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
2 And it shall come to pass whenever you shall draw near to battle, that the priest shall draw near and speak to the people, and shall say to them,
A kokoke oukou e hoouka, alaila e hookokoke mai ke kahuna, a e olelo aku i na kanaka,
3 Hear, O Israel; you are going this day to battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint, fear not, neither be confounded, neither turn aside from their face.
E i aku ia lakou, E hoolohe, e ka Iseraela, Ke hookokoke oukou i keia la e kaua aku i ko oukou poe enemi: mai hoonawaliwaliia ko oukou naau, mai makau, mai pihoihoi, mai weliweli ia lakou:
4 For [it is] the Lord your God who advances with you, to fight with you against your enemies, [and] to save you.
No ka mea, o Iehova ko oukou Akua, oia ke hele me oukou e kaua aku no oukou i ko oukou poe enemi, a e hoopakele ia oukou.
5 And the scribes shall speak to the people, saying, What man [is] he that has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the war, and another man dedicate it.
Ae olelo aku na luna i na kanaka, i ka i ana'ku, Owai ke kanaka i kukulu i hale hou, aole nae i hoolilo aku? e hele ia a hoi aku i kona hale, o make auanei ia i ke kana, a o ke kanaka e ke hoolilo aku ia.
6 And what man [is] he that has planted a vineyard, and not been made merry with it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man be made merry with it.
Owai la ke kanaka i kana i ka malawaina, aole nae i ohi i ka hua? e hele ia, a hoi aku i kona hale, o make auanei ia i ke kaua, a e ohi ke kanaka e i ka hua.
7 And what man [is] he that has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
Owai ke kanaka i hoopalau i ka wahine, aole nae i lawe ia ia? e hele no ia, a hoi aku i kona hale, o make auanei ia i ke kana, a e lawe ke kanaka e ia ia.
8 And the scribes shall speak further to the people, and say, What man [is] he that fears and is cowardly in his heart? Let him go and return to his house, lest he make the heart of his brother fail, as his own.
A e olelo hou na luna i na kanaka, a e i aku, Owai la ke kanaka makau a nawaliwali ma ka naau? e hele no ia, a e hoi aku i kona hale, o hee auanei ka naau o kona poe hoahanau e like me kona naau.
9 And it shall come to pass when the scribes shall have ceased speaking to the people, that they shall appoint generals of the army to be leaders of the people.
A pau ka olelo a na luna i na kanaka, alaila e hoonoho lakou i na luna o ke kaua i alakai no na kanaka.
10 And if you shall draw near to a city to overcome them by war, then call them out peaceably.
Aia hookokoke aku oe i ke kalanakauhale e kaua aku ia ia, e hai aku oe i ka mea e malu ai ia.
11 If then they should answer peaceably to you, and open to you, it shall be that all the people found in it shall be tributary and subject to you.
A ina i ae mai ia i ka mea e malu ai, a wehe mai ia nou, alaila e lilo na kanaka a pau i loaa malaila i mea hookupu nau, a e hookauwa mai lakou nau.
12 But if they will not listen to you, but wage war against you, you shall invest it;
A i ole ia e ae mai i ka mea e malu ai me oe, aka, e hana mai ia i ke kaua me oe, alaila oe e hoopuni aku ai ia ia.
13 until the Lord your God shall deliver it into your hands, and you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword:
Aia hoolilo mai o Iehova kou Akua ia ia iloko o kou lima, alaila e luku oe i na kane a pau o ia wahi me ka maka o ka pahikaua.
14 except the women and the stuff: and all the cattle, and whatever shall be in the city, and all the plunder you shall take as spoil for yourself, and shall eat all the plunder of your enemies whom the Lord your God gives you.
Aka, o na wahine a me na kamalii, a me na holoholona, a me na mea a pau iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a me kona waiwai pio a pau, e lawe pio oe ia mau mea nau; a e ai iho oe i ka waiwai pio o kou poe enemi a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe.
15 Thus shall you do to all the cities that are very far off from you, not [being] of the cities of these nations which the Lord your God gives you to inherit their land.
Pela oe e hana aku ai i na kulanakauhale a pau i mamao loa aku ia oe, aole no na kulanakauhale o keia mau lahuikanaka.
16 [Of these] you shall not take any thing alive;
Aka, o na kulanakauhale o keia poe kanaka a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai nou, mai hoola oe i kekahi mea e hanu ana.
17 but you shall surely curse them, the Chettite, and the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Gergesite; as the Lord your God commanded you:
E luku loa aku ia lakou: i ka Heta, i ka Amora, i ka Kanaana, i ka Periza, i ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa, e like me ka Iehova kou Akua i kauoha mai ai ia oe:
18 that they may not teach you to do all their abominations, which they did to their gods, and [so] you should sin before the Lord your God.
O ao mai auanei lakou ia oukou e hana aku e like me ka lakou mea haumia i hana aku ai lakou i ko lakou mau akua; a e hana hewa oukou ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua.
19 And if you should besiege a city many days to prevail against it by war to take it, you shall not destroy its trees, by applying an iron tool to them, but you shall eat of it, and shall not cut it down: Is the tree that is in the field a man, to enter before you into the work of the siege?
Ina e loihi kou hoopilikia ana i kekahi kulanakauhale i ke kaua ana aku e hoopio ia ia, mai luku wale oe i kona laau i ka hahau ana ia mea i ke koilipi; no ka mea, e ai paha oe i kona, mai kua ilalo oe ia mea, i mea e pono ai ke kaua ana; no ka mea, no ke kanaka ka laau o ke kula.
20 But the tree which you know to be not fruit-bearing, this you shall destroy and cut down; and you shall construct a mound against the city, which makes war against you, until it be delivered up.
O ka laau au i ike ai aole he laau ai, oia wale no kau e luku aku, a e kua ilalo, a kukulu iho me ia i pakaua no ke kulanakauhale i kaua mai ai ia oe, a hiolo ia.
