Deuteronomy 20
1 When thou goest out to battle against thy enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
Nígbà tí o bá lọ sí ogun pẹ̀lú ọ̀tá rẹ, tí o sì rí ẹṣin àti àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti ológun tí ó jù ọ́ lọ, má ṣe bẹ̀rù u wọn, nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ tí ń mú ọ jáde wá láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.
2 And it shall be, when ye are come near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
Nígbà tí o bá fẹ́ lọ jagun, àlùfáà yóò wá síwájú, yóò sì bá ọmọ-ogun sọ̀rọ̀,
3 And shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
yóò sì wí pé, “Gbọ́, ìwọ Israẹli, lónìí ò ń jáde lọ sójú ogun sí ọ̀tá rẹ. Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọkàn yín ṣojo tàbí bẹ̀rù; ẹ má ṣe jáyà tàbí kí ẹ fi ààyè fún ìjayà níwájú u wọn.
4 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
Nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ní bá yín lọ, láti bá àwọn ọ̀tá yín jà fún yín, láti gbà yín là.”
5 And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should dedicate it.
Àwọn olórí ogun yóò sì wí fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó kọ́ ilé tuntun tí kò sì tì ì yà á sọ́tọ̀? Jẹ́ kí ó lọ ilé, tàbí ó lè kú sójú ogun kí ẹlòmíràn sì gbà á.
6 And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should eat of it.
Ǹjẹ́ ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó gbin ọgbà àjàrà kan tí kò sì tí ì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ń gbádùn rẹ̀? Jẹ́ kí ó lọ ilé, tàbí kí ó kú sójú ogun kí ẹlòmíràn sì gbádùn rẹ̀.
7 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in battle, and another man should take her.
Ǹjẹ́ ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó wá ògo obìnrin kan tí kò ì tí ì fẹ́ ẹ? Jẹ́ kí ó lọ ilé, tàbí kí ó kú sójú ogun kí ẹlòmíràn sì fẹ́ ẹ.”
8 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren’s heart should faint as well as his heart.
Nígbà náà ni olórí yóò tún fi kún un pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin kankan ń bẹ̀rù tàbí páyà? Jẹ́ kí ó lọ ilé nítorí kí arákùnrin rẹ̀ má ba à wá tún dáyà fò ó.”
9 And it shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
Nígbà tí olórí ogun bá ti dákẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ sí àwọn ènìyàn, wọn yóò yan olórí ogun lórí i rẹ̀.
10 When thou comest near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
Nígbà tí ó bá súnmọ́ iwájú láti dojúkọ ìlú kan láti bá a jà, nígbà náà ni kí ó fi àlàáfíà lọ̀ ọ́.
11 And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer of peace, and open to thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found in it shall be forced labourers to thee, and they shall serve thee.
Tí wọ́n bá dá ọ lóhùn àlàáfíà, tí wọ́n sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn, gbogbo àwọn tó wà níbẹ̀ yóò máa jẹ́ olùsìn fún ọ, wọn ó sì máa sìn ọ́.
12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
Tí wọ́n bá kọ̀ láti bá ọ ṣe àlàáfíà ṣùgbọ́n tí wọ́n bá gbóguntì ọ́, nígbà náà ni kí ìwọ gbà á.
13 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite every male of it with the edge of the sword:
Nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ bá fi lé ọ lọ́wọ́, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó fi ojú idà pa gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà níbẹ̀.
14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, shalt thou take to thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thy enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
Ní ti obìnrin, àwọn ọmọdé, ohun ọ̀sìn àti gbogbo ohun tí ó kù nínú ìlú náà, o lè mú ìwọ̀nyí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkógun fún ara rẹ. O sì lè lo ìkógun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fi fún ọ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ.
15 Thus shalt thou do to all the cities which are very distant from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Báyìí ni ìwọ yóò ṣe sí gbogbo ìlú tí wọ́n wà ní ọ̀nà jíjìn sí ọ tí wọn kò sì tara àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ.
16 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
Ṣùgbọ́n, nínú àwọn ìlú ti àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ń fún ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún, má ṣe dá ohun ẹlẹ́mìí kankan sí.
17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
Pa wọ́n run pátápátá, àwọn ọmọ Hiti, ọmọ Amori, ọmọ Kenaani, ọmọ Peresi, ọmọ Hifi, ọmọ Jebusi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti pa á láṣẹ fún ọ.
18 That they may not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
Bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, wọn yóò kọ́ ọ láti tẹ̀lé gbogbo ohun ìríra tí wọ́n ń ṣe nínú sí sin àwọn ọlọ́run wọn, ìwọ yóò sì ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.
19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees of it by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life ) to employ them in the siege:
Nígbà tí o bá dó ti ìlú kan láti ọjọ́ pípẹ́, ẹ bá wọn jà láti gbà á, má ṣe pa àwọn igi ibẹ̀ run nípa gbígbé àáké lé wọn, nítorí o lè jẹ èso wọn. Má ṣe gé wọn lulẹ̀. Nítorí igi igbó ha á ṣe ènìyàn bí, tí ìwọ ó máa dó tì rẹ̀.
20 Only the trees which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it shall be subdued.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ lè gé àwọn igi tí o mọ̀ pé wọn kì í ṣe igi eléso lulẹ̀ kí o sì lò wọ́n láti kọ́ ìṣọ́ sí ìlú tí ó ń bá ọ jagun, títí tí yóò fi ṣubú.
