Deuteronomy 20
1 When thou shalt go out to wage war against thine enemy, and shalt see the horses and chariots of a people more in number than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them, —for, Yahweh 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 are coming 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 shall say unto them, —Hear, O Israel, ye are coming near to-day, unto battle against your enemies, —let not your heart faint do not fear nor start nor quake 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 Yahweh your God, is he that is going with you, —to fight for you against your enemies to save 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 Then shall the officers speak unto the people saying, Who is the man that 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 who is the man that hath planted a vineyard and hath not thrown it open? let him go and return unto his house, —lest he die in the battle, and another man, throw it open.
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 who is the man 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 Then shall the officers further speak unto the people, and say—Who is the man that is fearful and faint-hearted? let him go and return unto his house, —lest his brethren’s heart melt as well 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, then shall they appoint captains of hosts 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 shalt come nigh unto a city, to fight against it, —then shalt thou proclaim unto it—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 peace, be the answer it giveth thee, and it open unto thee, then shall it be, that, all the people that are found therein, shall become thy tributaries and 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, but will make war with thee, then shalt thou lay siege to 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 Yahweh thy God will deliver it into thy hand, —and 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 shall be in the city—all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take as thy prey, —so shalt thou eat the spoil of thine enemies, whom Yahweh thy God hath delivered unto 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 that are very far away from thee, —which are not of the cities of those 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 peoples which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee as an inheritance, shalt thou not save alive, any breathing thing.
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 devote them to destruction—the Hittites and the Amorites the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, —as Yahweh 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 lest they teach you to do, according to all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods, —and so ye sin against Yahweh 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 shalt besiege a city for many days to fight against it, to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by wielding against them an axe, when of them, thou mightest eat, them, there-fore shalt thou not cut down, —for, Is the tree of the field, a man, that it should enter, because of thee into the 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 Nevertheless, the tree of which thou knowest that it is, not a tree yielding food, the same, mayest thou destroy, and cut down, —and so build up a siege-work against the city which is making war with thee, until thou hast subdued it.
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.
