Deuteronomy 20
1 “When your [soldiers] go to fight your enemies, and you see that they have many horses and chariots and that their army is much bigger than yours, do not be afraid of them, because Yahweh our God, who brought your [ancestors safely] out of Egypt, will be with you.
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 When you are ready to start the battle, the Supreme Priest must stand in front of the troops.
Oo markaad dagaalka ku soo dhowaataan, wadaadku waa inuu dadka u soo dhowaadaa oo la hadlaa,
3 He must say to them, ‘You Israeli men, listen to me! Today you are going to fight against your enemies. Do not be timid or afraid [DOU] or tremble or panic [DOU],
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 because Yahweh our God will go with you. He will fight your enemies for you, and he will enable you to defeat them.’
maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa ah kan idinla socda inuu idiin dagaallamo oo cadaawayaashiinna idiinka hiiliyo si uu idiin badbaadiyo.
5 Then the army officers must say to the troops, ‘If anyone among you has just built a new house [RHQ] and has not dedicated it [to God], he should go home [and dedicate the house]. If he does not do that, if he dies in the battle, someone else will dedicate the house [and live in 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 If anyone among you has planted a vineyard and has not yet harvested any grapes from it [RHQ], he should go home. If he [stays here and] dies in the battle, someone else will [harvest the grapes and] enjoy [the wine made from them].
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 If anyone among you has become engaged to marry a woman [but has not married her yet] [RHQ], he should go home. If [he stays here and] dies in the battle, someone else will marry 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 “Then the officers must also say, ‘If anyone among you is afraid or timid [RHQ], he should go home, in order that he does not cause his fellow soldiers to also stop being courageous.’
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 when the officers have finished speaking to the troops, they must appoint commanders [to lead the groups of soldiers].
Oo markay saraakiishu dadka lahadliddiisa dhammeeyaan waa inay doortaan saraakiil ciidameed inay dadka madax u noqdaan.
10 “When you come near a city [that is far away] to attack it, first tell the people there that if they surrender, you will not attack them.
Markaad magaalo ugu soo dhowaataan inaad la dirirtaan, waxaad u naadisaan war nabdeed.
11 If they open the gates of the city and surrender, they all will become your slaves to work for 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 But if they refuse to [surrender] peacefully, and decide instead to fight against you, your troops must surround the city [and break through the walls].
Oo hadday idinla nabdi waayaan, laakiinse ay doonayaan inay idinla diriraan, markaas waa inaad hareeraysaan,
13 Then, when Yahweh our God enables you to capture [IDM] the city, you must kill all the men in the city.
oo markii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu magaalada idiin soo gacangeliyo, dadkeeda labka ah oo dhan waa inaad seef ku wada laysaan,
14 But you are allowed to take for yourselves the women, the children, the livestock, and everything else [that you want to take] from the city. You will be allowed to enjoy all the things that belonged to your enemies; it is Yahweh our God who has given those things 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 You should do that in all the cities that are far from the land in which you will settle.
Oo sidaas waa inaad u wada gashaan magaalooyinka idinka fog oo aan ahayn magaalooyinka quruumahan.
16 “But in the cities that are in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, you must kill all the people and all the animals [LIT].
Laakiinse magaalooyinka dadyowga Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu dhaxalka idiin siiyey waa inaydaan wax nool oo neefsada dhexdooda ku reebin,
17 You must get rid of them completely. Get rid of the Heth people-group, the Amor people-group, the Canaan people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group; that is what Yahweh our God commanded you to do.
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 If you do not do that, they will teach you to sin against Yahweh our God and do the disgusting things that they do when they worship their gods.
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 surround a city for a long time, trying to capture it, do not cut down the fruit trees [outside the city]. You are allowed to eat the fruit from the trees, but do not get rid of the trees, because they certainly are not [RHQ] your enemies.
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 You are permitted to cut down the other trees and use the wood to make ladders and towers to enable you to [go over the walls and] capture the city.”
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.
