Deuteronomy 20
1 'When thou goest out to battle against thine enemy, and hast seen horse and chariot — a people more numerous than thou — thou art not afraid of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] with thee, who is bringing thee 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 hath been, in your drawing near unto the battle, that the priest hath come nigh, and spoken unto the people,
Sa’ad da kuke gab da kama yaƙi, sai firist yă zo gaba yă yi wa mayaƙan jawabi.
3 and said unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are drawing near to-day to battle against your enemies, let not your hearts be tender, fear not, 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 Jehovah your God [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 unto the people, saying, Who [is] the man that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? — let him go and turn back 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 hath planted a vineyard, and hath not made it common? — let him go and turn back 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 hath betrothed a woman, and hath not taken her? — let him go and turn back 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 unto the people, and said, Who [is] the man that is afraid and tender of heart? — let him go and turn back to his house, and the heart of his brethren doth 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 hath come to pass as the authorities finish to speak unto 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 thou drawest near unto a city to fight against it, then thou hast called unto it for Peace,
Sa’ad da kuka haura don ku fāɗa wa birni, sai ku fara neman garin da salama.
11 and it hath been, if Peace it answer thee, and hath opened to thee, then it hath come to pass — all the people who are found in it are to thee for tributaries, and have served thee.
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 doth not make peace with thee, and hath made with thee war, then thou hast laid siege against it,
In kuwa suka ƙi salamar, suka fāɗa muku da yaƙi, sai ku yi wa wannan birni ƙawanya.
13 and Jehovah thy God hath given it into thy hand, and thou hast smitten 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 cattle, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, thou dost seize for thyself, and thou hast eaten the spoil of thine enemies which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee.
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 thou dost do to all the cities which are very far off from thee, 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 Jehovah thy God is giving to thee [for] an inheritance, thou dost not keep alive any 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 thou dost certainly devote the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee,
Ku hallaka su ƙaƙaf, wato, Hittiyawa, Amoriyawa, Kan’aniyawa, Ferizziyawa, Hiwiyawa da kuma Yebusiyawa, yadda Ubangiji Allahnku ya umarce ku.
18 so that they teach you not to do according to all their abominations which they have done to their gods, and ye have sinned against Jehovah your God.
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 thou layest siege unto a city many days, to fight against it, to capture it, thou dost not destroy its trees to force an axe against them, for of them thou dost eat, and them thou dost not cut down — for man's [is] the tree of the field — to go in at thy 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, which thou knowest that it [is] not a fruit-tree, it thou dost destroy, and hast cut down, and hast built a bulwark against the city which is making with thee war till thou hast 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.
