Deuteronomy 20
1 When thou shalt go forth to warre against thine enemies, and shalt see horses and charets, and people moe then thou, be not afrayde of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
Taran tuk hanelah na kamthaw navah, namamouh hlak kapap e marang thoseh, rangleng thoseh, taminaw thoseh, na hmawt pawiteh taket hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Izip ram hoi nangmanaw katâcawtkhai e BAWIPA Cathut teh nangmouh koe ao.
2 And when ye are come neere vnto the battel, then the Priest shall come forth to speake vnto the people,
Taran tuk nahane tueng a hnai toteh, vaihmanaw ni a hnai awh vaiteh,
3 And shall say vnto them, Heare, O Israel: ye are come this day vnto battell against your enemies: let not your heartes faynt, neither feare, nor be amased, nor adread of them.
Oe Isarelnaw, sahnin taran tuk hanelah taran koe na hnai awh toe. Ahnimouh kecu dawk na lungpout awh hanh, taket awh hanh, pâyaw awh hanh, kalue awh hanh.
4 For ye Lord your God goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, and to saue you
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh na ka rungngang hanelah, BAWIPA Cathut teh nangmouh hoi rei a kamthaw teh, na tarannaw hah na tuk pouh telah taminaw koe dei awh naseh.
5 And let the officers speake vnto the people, saying, What man is there that hath buylt a new house, and hath not dedicate it? let him go and returne to his house, least he dye in the battel, and an other man dedicate it.
Ransa kacuenaw nihai, im katha ka sak niteh, Cathut koe kâhnawng hoeh rae awm pawiteh, ama im ban yawkaw seh, a im hah hnawng naseh. Hoehpawiteh, taran tuknae koe dout pawiteh, alouke ni im hah a hnawng han doeh tie ngaihri han ao.
6 And what man is there that hath planted a vineyarde, and hath not eaten of the fruite? let him go and returne againe vnto his house, least he die in the battel, and another eate the fruite.
Misur takha ka sak niteh, a paw ka cat hoeh rae awm pawiteh, a im ban yawkaw seh. Hoehpawiteh, taran tuknae koe dout pawiteh, alouke ni hote misur paw a ca han doeh tie ngaihrinae ao.
7 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and returne againe vnto his house, lest he die in the battell, and another man take her.
A yu sut ka pacei niteh, ka paluen hoeh rae awm pawiteh, a im ban yawkaw seh. Hoehpawiteh, taran tuknae koe dout pawiteh, alouke ni a paluen han doeh tie ngaihrinae ao.
8 And let the officers speake further vnto the people, and say, Whosoeuer is afrayde and faynt hearted, let him go and returne vnto his house, least his brethrens heart faynt like his heart.
Hahoi, ransa kacuenaw teh, ka taket ni teh a lung ka pout e awm pawiteh, a im ban yawkaw seh. Hoehpawiteh, ahni a lungpout e patetlah a huinaw hai a lungpout han doeh tie ngaihrinae ao telah taminaw koe a dei awh han.
9 And after that the officers haue made an ende of speaking vnto the people, they shall make captaines of the armie to gouerne the people.
Ransa kacuenaw ni hottelah a dei awh hnukkhu, kâ kapoekungnaw ni taminaw hah taran tuk hanlah a kamthaw sak han.
10 When thou commest neere vnto a citie to fight against it, thou shalt offer it peace.
Kho buetbuet touh tuk hanelah na ceisin navah, roum nahanelah hmaloe na dei pouh han.
11 And if it answere thee againe peaceably, and open vnto thee, then let all the people that is founde therein, be tributaries vnto thee, and serue thee.
Hote kho teh, roum nahane lawk a dei teh kho longkha sut paawng pawiteh, hote kho dawk kaawm e pueng ni aphawng na poe awh vaiteh, na thaw a tawk awh han.
12 But if it will make no peace with thee, but make war against thee, then shalt thou besiege it.
Roum nahane lawk hah ngâi awh hoeh lah, nangmouh na tuk awh pawiteh, hote kho hah na kalup awh vaiteh,
13 And the Lord thy God shall deliuer it into thine handes, and thou shalt smite all the males thereof with the edge of the sworde.
na BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmae kut dawk hote kho hah na poe torei, tongpa pueng hah tahloi hoi na thei han.
14 Onely the women, and the children, and the cattel, and all that is in the citie, euen all the spoyle thereof shalt thou take vnto thy selfe, and shalt eate the spoyle of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath giuen thee.
Napui camo saring khothung na hmu e pueng teh, nama hanelah na la vaiteh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni taran kut dawk hoi na poe e hno hah na ca han.
15 Thus shalt thou do vnto all ye cities, which are a great way off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations here.
Hete miphun onae kho hloilah, ahlanae koe e kho kaawm e pueng koe hottelah na sak han.
16 But of the cities of this people, which the Lord thy God shall giue thee to inherite, thou shalt saue no person aliue,
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni râw lah na coe hane kawi dawk hete miphunnaw e kho dawkvah, ka kâha e tami buet touh boehai na hring sak mahoeh.
17 But shalt vtterly destroy them: to wit, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee,
Hitnaw, Amornaw, Kanaannaw, Periznaw, Hivnaw, Jebusitnaw ni amamae cathutnaw koe a sak awh e panuettho e hno hah nangmouh na cangkhai awh teh,
18 That they teache you not to doe after all their abominations, which they haue done vnto their gods, and so ye should sinne against the Lord your God.
na BAWIPA Cathut koe na yon hoeh nahanelah, na BAWIPA Cathut ni na cangkhai e patetlah hote tami pueng hah peng na raphoe han.
19 When thou hast besieged a citie long time, and made warre against it to take it, destroy not the trees therof, by smiting an axe into them: for thou mayest eate of them: therfore thou shalt not cut them downe to further thee in the siege, (for the tree of the field is mans life)
Kho buetbuet touh tuk hanelah, kasawlah na kalup pawiteh, thingkungnaw hah na tâtueng mahoeh. Talai dawk kapâw e thingkungnaw teh, tami kâkawk nahanelah ao dawkvah, a paw dueng na ca han. Kho na kalup navah akung na tâtueng mahoeh.
20 Onely those trees, which thou knowest are not for meate, those shalt thou destroy and cut downe, and make fortes against the citie that maketh warre with thee, vntil thou subdue it.
Hatei, cakawi hoeh e thingkungnaw teh na tâtueng vaiteh, na tuk e kho na tâ hoehroukrak, taran tuk nahanelah hnopai na sak na thai.
