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;
Markaad dagaal ugu baxdaan cadaawayaashiinna, oo aad aragtaan fardo iyo gaadhifardood iyo dad idinka sii badan, waa inaydaan ka cabsan, waayo, waxaa idinla jira Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar.
2 and it has been, in your drawing near to the battle, that the priest has come near, and spoken to the people,
Oo markaad dagaalka ku soo dhowaataan, wadaadku waa inuu dadka u soo dhowaadaa oo la hadlaa,
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,
oo ha ku yidhaahdo, Reer binu Israa'iilow, maqla, maanta waxaad ku soo dhowaanaysaan dagaal aad cadaawayaashiinna kula diriraysaan, haddaba qalbigiinnu yuusan itaal darnaan, oo ha cabsanina, hana gariirina, iyagana ha ka baqina,
4 for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you, to fight for you with your enemies—to save you.
maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa ah kan idinla socda inuu idiin dagaallamo oo cadaawayaashiinna idiinka hiiliyo si uu idiin badbaadiyo.
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.
Oo saraakiishu dadka ha la hadleen oo ha ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkee baa guri cusub dhistay oo aan weli u ducaysan? Kaasu ha tago oo gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waaba intaasoo intuu dagaalka ku dhinto uu nin kale u ducaystaaye.
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.
Oo ninkee baa beer canab ah beertay oo aan weli midhihiisii ku isticmaalin? Kaasu ha tago oo gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waaba intaasoo intuu dagaalka ku dhinto uu nin kale midhihiisa ku isticmaalaaye.
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.
Oo ninkee bay naagu u doonan tahay, oo aan weli guursan? Kaasu ha tago oo gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waaba intaasoo intuu dagaalka ku dhinto uu nin kale guursadaaye.
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.
Oo saraakiishu weliba dadka ha la sii hadleen oo ha ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkee baa cabsanaya oo qalbigiisu itaal daranyahay? Kaasu ha tago oo gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waaba intaasoo qalbiga walaalihiis uu u baqaa sida qalbigiisoo kale.
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.
Oo markay saraakiishu dadka lahadliddiisa dhammeeyaan waa inay doortaan saraakiil ciidameed inay dadka madax u noqdaan.
10 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then you have called to it for peace,
Markaad magaalo ugu soo dhowaataan inaad la dirirtaan, waxaad u naadisaan war nabdeed.
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.
Oo hadday jawaab nabdeed idin siiyaan oo ay albaabka idinka furaan, waa inay dadka magaaladaas dhexdeeda laga helo oo dhammu addoommo idiin noqdaan oo ay idiin wada adeegaan.
12 And if it does not make peace with you, and has made war with you, then you have laid siege against it,
Oo hadday idinla nabdi waayaan, laakiinse ay doonayaan inay idinla diriraan, markaas waa inaad hareeraysaan,
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.
oo markii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu magaalada idiin soo gacangeliyo, dadkeeda labka ah oo dhan waa inaad seef ku wada laysaan,
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.
laakiinse dumarka iyo dhallaanka iyo xoolaha iyo waxa magaalada ku jira oo dhan, xataa wax kasta oo laga dhacaba waa inaad booli ahaan u qaadataan, oo waa inaad cuntaan xoolihii aad cadaawayaashiinna ka dhacdeen oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siiyey.
15 So you do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Oo sidaas waa inaad u wada gashaan magaalooyinka idinka fog oo aan ahayn magaalooyinka quruumahan.
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;
Laakiinse magaalooyinka dadyowga Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu dhaxalka idiin siiyey waa inaydaan wax nool oo neefsada dhexdooda ku reebin,
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,
illowse waa inaad dhammaantood u wada baabbi'isaan, kuwaasoo ah reer Xeed, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Kancaan, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Yebuusba, siduu Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu idiinku amray,
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.
si ayan idiin barin inaad samaysaan waxyaalahooda karaahiyada ah oo ay ilaahyadooda ku sameeyeen oo dhan, oo aydaan idinku saas ugu dembaabin Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
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.
Oo markaad wakhti dheer magaalo dagaal ku hareeraynaysaan si aad u qabsataan, waa inaydaan dhirteeda faas ku baabbi'in, waayo, wax baad ka cuni karaysaan, saas aawadeed waa inaydaan jarin. Waayo, bal geedka duurka ma nin baa oo aad saas darteed u weerartaan?
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.”
Waxaad keliyahoo baabbi'isaan oo jartaan dhirta aad garanaysaan inayan ahayn dhir la cuno, oo magaalada idinla dirirayso waa inaad hareeraheeda ka dhisataan dhufaysyo ilaa ay dhacdo.
