Deuteronomy 20
1 “When you go out to battle against your enemy, and have seen horse and chariot—a people more numerous than you—you are not afraid of them, for your God YHWH [is] with you, who is bringing you up out of the land of Egypt;
Sa’ad da kuka tafi yaƙi da abokan gābanku, kuka ga dawakai da kekunan yaƙi da kuma mayaƙan da suka fi ku yawa, kada ku ji tsoronsu, domin Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar zai kasance tare da ku.
2 and it has been, in your drawing near to the battle, that the priest has come near, and spoken to the people,
Sa’ad da kuke gab da kama yaƙi, sai firist yă zo gaba yă yi wa mayaƙan jawabi.
3 and said to them, Hear, O Israel: You are drawing near today to battle against your enemies, do not let your hearts be tender, do not fear, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their presence,
Zai ce, “Ku ji, ya Isra’ila, yau kuna gab da kama da abokan gābanku. Kada ku karai, ko ku ji tsoro; kada ku firgita, ko ku yi rawar jiki a gabansu.
4 for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you, to fight for you with your enemies—to save you.
Gama Ubangiji Allahnku, yana tafe tare da ku, zai yaƙi abokan gābanku dominku, yă ba ku nasara.”
5 And the authorities have spoken to the people, saying, Who [is] the man that has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in battle and another man dedicate it.
Hafsoshi za su ce wa mayaƙa, “Ko akwai wanda ya gina sabon gida bai kuma buɗe shi ba? Bari yă tafi gida, kada yă mutu a yaƙi, wani dabam yă buɗe shi.
6 And who [is] the man that has planted a vineyard and has not made it common? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man make it common.
Ko akwai wani da ya shuka inabi, bai kuwa fara jin daɗinsa ba? Bari yă tafi gida, kada yă mutu a yaƙi, wani dabam yă ji daɗinsa.
7 And who [is] the man that has betrothed a woman and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in battle, and another man take her.
Ko akwai wani da aka yi masa alkawarin mata, bai kuwa aure ta ko ba? Bari yă tafi gida, kada yă mutu a yaƙi, wani dabam yă aure ta.”
8 And the authorities have added to speak to the people and said, Who [is] the man that is afraid and tender of heart? Let him go and return to his house, and the heart of his brothers does not melt like his heart.
Sa’an nan hafsoshin za su ƙara da cewa, “Ko akwai wani da yake tsoro, ko ya karai? Bari yă tafi gida don kada’yan’uwansa su karai su ma.”
9 And it has come to pass, as the authorities finish to speak to the people, that they have appointed princes of the hosts at the head of the people.
Sa’ad da hafsoshin suka gama magana da mayaƙan, sai su naɗa komandodi a kansu.
10 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then you have called to it for peace,
Sa’ad da kuka haura don ku fāɗa wa birni, sai ku fara neman garin da salama.
11 and it has been, if it answers you [with] peace, and has opened to you, then it has come to pass, all the people who are found in it are for tributaries to you, and have served you.
In sun yarda da salamar, suka buɗe ƙofofin garinsu, to, sai dukan mutanen da suke cikinsa su yi muku aikin gandu, su kuma yi muku aiki.
12 And if it does not make peace with you, and has made war with you, then you have laid siege against it,
In kuwa suka ƙi salamar, suka fāɗa muku da yaƙi, sai ku yi wa wannan birni ƙawanya.
13 and your God YHWH has given it into your hand, and you have struck every male of it by the mouth of the sword.
Sa’ad da Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba da shi cikin hannunku, sai ku kashe dukan mazan da suke cikinsa da takobi.
14 Only, the women, and the infants, and the livestock, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you seize for yourself, and you have eaten the spoil of your enemies which your God YHWH has given to you.
Game da mata, yara, dabbobi da kuma sauran abubuwan da suke cikin birnin, za ku iya kwasa waɗannan a matsayin ganima wa kanku. Za ku kuma yi amfani da ganimar da Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba ku daga abokan gābanku.
15 So you do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Haka za ku yi da dukan biranen da suke nesa da ku, waɗanda kuma ba na al’ummai da suke kusa ba.
16 Only, of the cities of these peoples which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, you do not keep alive any [that are] breathing;
Amma fa, a cikin biranen al’ummai da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku gādo, kada ku bar wani abu mai numfashi da rai.
17 for you certainly devote the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as your God YHWH has commanded you,
Ku hallaka su ƙaƙaf, wato, Hittiyawa, Amoriyawa, Kan’aniyawa, Ferizziyawa, Hiwiyawa da kuma Yebusiyawa, yadda Ubangiji Allahnku ya umarce ku.
18 so that they do not teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their gods, and you have sinned against your God YHWH.
In ba haka ba, za su koya muku ku bi dukan abubuwan banƙyaman da suke yi, ta yin sujada wa allolinsu, ta haka kuwa ku yi wa Ubangiji Allahnku zunubi.
19 When you lay siege to a city [for] many days to fight against it, to capture it, you do not destroy its trees to force an axe against them, for you eat of them, and you do not cut them down—for the tree of the field [is] man’s—to go in at your presence in the siege.
Sa’ad da kuka yi wa birni ƙawanya kuka daɗe, kuka yi ta yaƙi don ku ci shi, kada ku sassare itatuwansa da gatari, domin za ku ci’ya’yansu. Kada ku sassare su. Gama itatuwan da suke cikin gonaki, ba mutane ne da za ku yi musu ƙawanya?
20 Only, the tree of which you know that it [is] not a fruit-tree, you destroy it, and have cut [it] down, and have built a bulwark against the city which is making war with you until you have subdued it.”
Amma fa, za ku iya sassare itatuwan da kuka sani ba sa ba da’ya’ya, ku kuma yi amfani da su don ayyukan gina ƙawanyar, sai an ci birnin da yaƙi.
