Deuteronomy 20
1 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than you, be not afraid of them: for the LORD your God is with you, which brought you 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 you are come near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
Yommuu ati waraanatti dhiʼaattutti lubni fuula duratti baʼee loltootatti haa dubbatu.
3 And shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, you approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be you terrified because of 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 goes 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 to the people, saying, What man is there that has built a new house, and has 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 he that has planted a vineyard, and has not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
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 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.
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 to the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren’s heart faint as well 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 to the people that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
Ajajjoonni yommuu loltootatti dubbatanii raawwatanitti loltoota irratti ajajjoota haa muudan.
10 When you come near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to 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 you answer of peace, and open to you, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries to you, and they shall serve you.
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 you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it:
Yoo isaan waamicha nagaa fudhachuu didanii waraanaaf sitti baʼan ati magaalattii marsi.
13 And when the LORD your God has delivered it into your hands, you shall 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, shall you take to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.
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 shall you do to all the cities which are very far off from you, 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 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD your God does give you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes:
Taʼus magaalaawwan saboota Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaalaatti siif kennu keessatti waan hafuura baafatu tokko illee hin hambisin.
17 But you shall utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD your God has commanded you:
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 to their gods; so should you 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 you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an ax against them: for you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life) to employ them in the siege:
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 which you know that they be not trees for meat, you shall destroy and cut them down; and you shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it be subdued.
Garuu hamma magaalaan si wajjin wal loltu sun kuftutti mukkeen akka isaan gumaa hin naqanne beektu murtee hojii ijaarsa marsuutiif itti fayyadamuu ni dandeessa.
