Deteronòm 20
1 Lè nou soti pou n' al goumen kont lènmi nou yo, epi nou wè yo gen plis chwal, plis cha lagè ak plis moun pase nou, nou pa bezwen pè, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, li menm ki te fè nou moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, l'ap kanpe la avèk nou.
If you will go out to war on enemies your and you will see horse and chariot a people great more than you not you must be afraid from them for Yahweh God your [is] with you who brought up you from [the] land of Egypt.
2 Lè lè batay la rive, prèt la va vanse, l'a pale ak sòlda yo.
And it will be when draw near you to the battle and he will come near the priest and he will speak to the people.
3 L'a di yo: -Koute byen, moun Izrayèl yo: Jòdi a nou pral goumen kont lènmi nou yo. Kè nou pa bezwen sote. Nou pa bezwen pè, nou pa bezwen tranble, ni nou pa bezwen kouri pou yo.
And he will say to them hear O Israel you [are] approaching this day to the battle on enemies your may not be timid heart your may not you be afraid and may not you make haste and may not you be terrified of them.
4 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mache avèk nou. L'a goumen pou nou kont lènmi nou yo pou l' fè nou genyen batay la.
For Yahweh God your [is] the [one who] goes with you to fight for you with enemies your to give victory you.
5 Apre sa, chèf yo va pale ak sòlda yo. Y'a di yo: -Eske gen yon moun la a ki fèk fin bati yon kay, men ki poko fè sèvis pou mete kay la apa pou Bondye? Si gen yon moun konsa, pito l' al fè wout li lakay li, paske li ka mouri nan goumen an, epi se yon lòt moun ki va fè sèvis pou mete kay la apa pou Bondye.
And they will say the officials to the people saying who? [is] the man who he has built a house new and not he has dedicated it let him go and let him return to house his lest he should die in the battle and a man another he will dedicate it.
6 Eske gen yon moun la a ki fèk plante yon jaden rezen epi ki poko gen chans fè yon rekòt rezen menm? Si gen yon moun konsa, pito l' al fè wout li lakay li, paske li ka mouri nan batay la, epi se va yon lòt moun ki va jwi jaden rezen l' lan.
And who? [is] the man who he has planted a vineyard and not he has put to use it let him go and let him return to house his lest he should die in the battle and a man another he will put to use it.
7 Eske gen yon moun isit la ki fiyanse pou l' marye? Si gen yon moun konsa, pito l' al fè wout li lakay li, paske li ka mouri nan lagè a epi se yon lòt moun ki va marye ak fiyanse l' la.
And who? [is] the man who he has betrothed a woman and not he has taken her let him go and let him return to house his lest he should die in the battle and a man another he will take her.
8 Apre sa, chèf yo va di sòlda yo ankò: -Eske gen yon moun la a ki pè, ki santi li pa gen kouraj pou l' al goumen? Si gen yon moun konsa, pito l' al fè wout li lakay li, paske li ka kraze kouraj lòt yo tou.
And they will repeat the officials to speak to the people and they will say who? [is] the man fearful and [the] weak of heart let him go and let him return to house his and not it will be melted [the] heart of countrymen his like heart his.
9 Lè chèf yo va fin pale konsa ak sòlda yo, y'a chwazi yon kaptenn pou chak divizyon pou mache alatèt lame a.
And it will be when finish the officials to speak to the people and they will appoint commanders of armies at [the] head of the people.
10 Lè n'ap pwoche bò yon lavil pou n' atake l', premye bagay n'a fè, n'a mande l' pou l' fè lapè ak nou.
If you will draw near to a city to fight on it and you will proclaim to it to peace.
11 Si yo dakò, si yo louvri pòtay lavil la ban nou, tout moun nan lavil la va travay fè kòve pou nou, y'a tounen esklav nou.
And it will be if peace it will answer you and it will open to you and it will be all the people which is found in it they will become for you forced labor and they will serve you.
12 Men, si yo refize fè lapè ak nou epi yo mande goumen, n'a sènen lavil la toupatou epi n'a atake l'.
And if not it will make peace with you and it will make with you war and you will lay siege on it.
13 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va lage l' nan men nou. Epi n'a touye dènye gason ki nan lavil la.
And he will give it Yahweh God your in hand your and you will strike down every male its to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
14 Men, n'a pran tout fanm yo, tout pitit yo, tout bèt yo ak tou sa ki nan lavil la, ak tout byen lènmi yo va kite pou nou. N'a manje tou sa n'a pran nan men lènmi nou yo paske se Seyè a menm ki ban nou yo.
Only the women and the little one[s] and the livestock and all that it will be in the city all booty its you will plunder for yourself and you will consume [the] booty of enemies your which he has given Yahweh God your to you.
15 Se konsa n'a fè sa pou tout lavil ki byen lwen nou, andeyò limit peyi Seyè a ban nou pou nou rete a.
Thus you will do to all the cities distant from you very which not [are] any of [the] cities of the nations these they.
16 Men, lè nou pran yon lavil ki nan limit peyi Seyè a ap ban nou pou nou rete a, se pou nou touye tou sa ki vivan ladan l'.
Only from [the] cities of the peoples these which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance not you will let live any breathing thing.
17 Se pou nou touye tout moun sa yo: moun Et yo, moun Amori yo, moun Kanaran yo, moun Ferèz yo, moun Ivi yo, moun Jebis vo. Se pou nou ofri yo bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te ban nou lòd la.
For certainly you will totally destroy them the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] just as he commanded you Yahweh God your.
18 Se pou nou disparèt yo pou yo pa fè nou tonbe nan peche kont Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou yo pa moutre nou fè tout vye bagay lèd y'ap fè pou bondye pa yo.
So that that not they may teach you to do according to all abominations their which they have done for gods their and you will sin to Yahweh God your.
19 Si lè n'ap atake yon lavil nou wè nou blije sènen l' pandan lontan anvan pou nou ka pran l', piga nou koupe ankenn pyebwa ki bay fwi, paske nou ka bezwen fwi yo pou nou manje. Pa koupe pyebwa yo. Se pyebwa ase yo ye, se pa moun yo ye. Ou pa ka aji avèk yo tankou moun ki nan lavil ou sènen an.
If you will lay siege to a city days many to fight on it to capture it not you will destroy tree[s] its by wielding on it an axe for from it you will eat and it not you will cut down for ¿ human [is] [the] tree of the field to go from before you in state of siege.
20 Men, nou gen dwa debranche pyebwa ki pa bay fwi, nou ka koupe yo, nou ka sèvi ak yo pou fè zouti pou atake lavil la jouk lavil la va tonbe nan men nou.
Only a tree which you will know that [is] not a tree of food it it you will destroy and you will cut down and you will build siege work[s] on the city which it [is] making with you war until falls it.
