Deuteronomy 20
1 When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them; for the LORD thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee inni biyya Gibxiitii si baase sun si wajjin jiruuf yommuu diinota kee loluuf baatutti fardeenii fi gaariiwwan akkasumas humna waraanaa kan humna waraanaa kee caalu argitutti hin sodaatin.
2 And it shall be, when ye draw nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
Yommuu ati waraanatti dhiʼaattutti lubni fuula duratti baʼee loltootatti haa dubbatu.
3 and shall say unto them: 'Hear, O Israel, ye draw nigh this day unto battle against your enemies; let not your heart faint; fear not, nor be alarmed, neither be ye affrighted at them;
Innis akkana haa jedhu; “Yaa Israaʼel, isin harʼa diinota keessan loluuf waraanatti seenuuf jirtu. Garaan keessan hin raafamin yookaan hin sodaatinaa; hin naʼinaa yookaan fuula diinota keessanii duratti hin hollatinaa.
4 for the LORD your God is He that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.'
Kan moʼannaa isiniif kennuuf jedhee diinota keessan isiniif loluuf isin wajjin baʼu Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitii.”
5 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying: 'What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
Ajajjoonni loltootaa immoo loltootaan akkana haa jedhan: “Namni mana haaraa ijaaree hin eebbisiisin tokko iyyuu jiraa? Inni gara mana isaatti haa deebiʼu; yoo kanaa achii inni waraana irratti duʼee namni biraa mana isaa eebbisa.
6 And what man is there that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not used the fruit thereof? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use the fruit thereof.
Namni wayinii dhaabee irraa hin nyaatin jiraa? Inni gara mana isaa haa deemu; yoo kanaa achii inni lola keessatti duʼee namni biraa wayinii sana nyaata.
7 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.'
Namni niitii fuudhuuf kadhatee utuu hin fuudhin dhufe jiraa? Inni gara mana isaa haa deemu; yoo kanaa achii inni lola irratti duʼee namni biraa ishee fuudha.”
8 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say: 'What man is there that is fearful and faint-hearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart melt as his heart.'
Ajajjoonni loltootaa ammas, “Namni sodaatu yookaan kan garaan isaa raafamu jiraa? Akka garaan obboloota isaas hin raafamneef inni gara mana isaatti haa deebiʼu” haa jedhan.
9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that captains of hosts shall be appointed at the head of the people.
Ajajjoonni yommuu loltootatti dubbatanii raawwatanitti loltoota irratti ajajjoota haa muudan.
10 When thou drawest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
Ati yommuu magaalaa tokko dhaʼuuf baatutti, duraan dursii namoota magaalaa sana keessa jiraataniif waamicha nagaa godhi.
11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found therein shall become tributary unto thee, and shall serve thee.
Yoo isaan tole jedhanii balbala siif banan, namni hundi siif haa bulu; hojjetaa kees haa taʼu.
12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it.
Yoo isaan waamicha nagaa fudhachuu didanii waraanaaf sitti baʼan ati magaalattii marsi.
13 And when the LORD thy God delivereth it into thy hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword;
Yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dabarsee isaan sitti kennutti dhiirota magaalattii keessa jiraatan hunda goraadeedhaan fixi.
14 but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take for a prey unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
Garuu nadheenii fi ijoollee, horii fi waan magaalattii keessatti argamu hunda boojiʼiitii ofii keetii fudhadhu; ati boojuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee diinota kee irratti siif kennetti fayyadamuu ni dandeessa.
15 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Akki ati magaalaawwan saboota naannoo keetii hin taʼin kanneen akka malee fagoo taʼan gootus kanuma.
16 Howbeit of the cities of these peoples, that the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth,
Taʼus magaalaawwan saboota Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaalaatti siif kennu keessatti waan hafuura baafatu tokko illee hin hambisin.
17 but thou shalt utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee;
Akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni kee si ajajetti guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessi; isaanis Heetota, Amoorota, Kanaʼaanota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota.
18 that they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods, and so ye sin against the LORD your God.
Yoo kanaa achii akka ati waan jibbisiisaa isaan waaqota isaanii waaqeffachuudhaan hojjetan sana duukaa buutu si barsiisu; atis Waaqayyo Waaqa keetti cubbuu hojjetta.
19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by wielding an axe against them; for thou mayest eat of them, but thou shalt not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged of thee?
Ati yommuu yeroo dheeraadhaaf magaalaa sana marsitee qabachuudhaaf ishee waraantutti, mukkeen ishee qottoodhaan cirtee hin balleessin; ati midhaan isaanii nyaachuu dandeessaatii isaan hin cirin. Ati kan isaan marsitu mukkeen bosonaa namoota taʼaniitii?
20 Only the trees of which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, them thou mayest destroy and cut down, that thou mayest build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it fall.
Garuu hamma magaalaan si wajjin wal loltu sun kuftutti mukkeen akka isaan gumaa hin naqanne beektu murtee hojii ijaarsa marsuutiif itti fayyadamuu ni dandeessa.
