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.
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.
2 And when ye are come neere vnto the battel, then the Priest shall come forth to speake vnto the people,
Ka uchiegni chako lweny, jadolo nosud nyime mondo owuo gi jolweny.
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.
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.
4 For ye Lord your God goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, and to saue you
Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ema nodhi kodu mondo okednu kuom wasiku mondo omiu loch.”
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.
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.
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.
Bende ngʼato osepidho mzabibu ma ok ochako chamo olembe? Onego odog dala nikech dipoka otho e lweny ma ngʼat machielo ema bi cham olemono.
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.
Bende ngʼato osesingore ne nyako moro nokendo ma ok okende? Onego odog dala nikech dipoka otho e lweny ma ngʼat machielo ema kend nyakono.”
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.
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.”
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.
Kane jodongo osetieko wuoyo gi jolweny negiyiero negi jotelo.
10 When thou commest neere vnto a citie to fight against it, thou shalt offer it peace.
Ka uwuok dhi monjo dala maduongʼno, to penjuru jo-dalano ka gidwaro timo kodu winjruok mar kwe.
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.
Ka giyie ma giyawo dhorangeyegi, to ji duto man kanyo nobed e bwo loch e tich matek kendo ginitinu.
12 But if it will make no peace with thee, but make war against thee, then shalt thou besiege it.
Ka gidagi loso kwe mi gichako kedo kodu, to tiekuru dala maduongʼno.
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.
Ka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ochiwo dala maduongʼno e lwetu, to neguru ji duto man kanyo gi ligangla.
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.
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.
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.
Ma e kaka onego utimne mier madongo duto man mabor, to kik utim kamano ne mier machiegni kodu.
16 But of the cities of this people, which the Lord thy God shall giue thee to inherite, thou shalt saue no person aliue,
Kata kamano e mier madongo duto mag ogendini ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kaka girkeni, kik uwe gimoro amora mayweyo kangima.
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,
Tiekgi duto kaka jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osechikou.
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.
Ka ok kamano to gibiro puonjou mondo utim gik mamono ma gitimo kagilamo nyisechigi kendo unutim richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
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)
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?
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.
Kata kamano unyalo tongʼo yiende ma ok nyag olemo mondo uketgi ka ohinga mi ukaw dala maduongʼ ma ukedogono.
