Deuteronomy 20
1 When thou goest out to battle against thy enemies, and thou seest horse, and chariot, people more in number than thou: be not afraid of them; for the Lord thy God is with thee, who brought thee 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 be, when ye come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people;
A kokoke oukou e hoouka, alaila e hookokoke mai ke kahuna, a e olelo aku i na kanaka,
3 And he shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye come nigh this day unto the battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and be not downcast, and do not tremble because of them:
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 the Lord your God it is who goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to help 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 officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there who hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, 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 there who hath planted a vineyard, and hath not redeemed it? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man redeem 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 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.
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 officers shall speak yet farther 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, that the heart of his brethren become not as faint as his heart.
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 be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall appoint captains of the armies at the head 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 When thou comest nigh unto a city to make war against it, then summon it with words of peace.
Aia hookokoke aku oe i ke kalanakauhale e kaua aku ia ia, e hai aku oe i ka mea e malu ai ia.
11 And it shall be, if it make thee an answer of peace, and open [its gates] unto thee: then shall it be, that all the people that are found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
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 it will not make peace with thee, and wageth war against thee; then shalt thou besiege 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 And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof 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 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that may be in the city, all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take as booty unto thyself; and thou shalt enjoy the spoil of thy enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
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 shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
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 But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, shalt thou not let live a single soul.
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 thou shalt utterly devote them; namely, the Hittites, and the Emorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee;
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 In order that they may not teach you to do in accordance with all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; and ye would thus sin against 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 When thou besiegest a city a long time, to make war against it to capture it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them; for of them thou mayest eat, and thou shalt not cut them down, [for man liveth of the trees of the field, ] to employ them in thy 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 Only those trees of which thou knowest that they are not fruit-trees, thou mayest destroy and cut down; and [thus] thou canst build bulwarks against the city that wageth war with thee, until it be subdued.
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.
