Maimaitawar Shari’a 20
1 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.
When you go out to war against other nations, and come face to face with horses and war-carriages and armies greater in number than yourselves, have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, who took you up out of the land of Egypt.
2 Sa’ad da kuke gab da kama yaƙi, sai firist yă zo gaba yă yi wa mayaƙan jawabi.
And when you are on the point of attacking, let the priest come forward and say to the people,
3 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.
Give ear, O Israel: today you are going forward to the fight; let your heart be strong; do not let uncontrolled fear overcome you because of those who are against you;
4 Gama Ubangiji Allahnku, yana tafe tare da ku, zai yaƙi abokan gābanku dominku, yă ba ku nasara.”
For the Lord your God goes with you, fighting for you to give you salvation from those who are against you.
5 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.
And let the overseers say to the people, If there is any man who has made for himself a new house and has not gone into it, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another may not take his house for himself.
6 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.
Or if any man has made a vine-garden without taking the first-fruits of it, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another may not be the first to make use of the fruit.
7 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.”
Or if any man is newly married and has had no sex relations with his wife, let him go back to his house, so that in the event of his death in the fight, another man may not take her.
8 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.”
And let the overseers go on to say to the people, If there is any man whose heart is feeble with fear, let him go back to his house before he makes the hearts of his countrymen feeble.
9 Sa’ad da hafsoshin suka gama magana da mayaƙan, sai su naɗa komandodi a kansu.
Then, after saying these words to the people, let the overseers put captains over the army.
10 Sa’ad da kuka haura don ku fāɗa wa birni, sai ku fara neman garin da salama.
When you come to a town, before attacking it, make an offer of peace.
11 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.
And if it gives you back an answer of peace, opening its doors to you, then all the people in it may be put to forced work as your servants.
12 In kuwa suka ƙi salamar, suka fāɗa muku da yaƙi, sai ku yi wa wannan birni ƙawanya.
If however it will not make peace with you, but war, then let it be shut in on all sides:
13 Sa’ad da Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba da shi cikin hannunku, sai ku kashe dukan mazan da suke cikinsa da takobi.
And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy.
14 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.
But the women and the children and the cattle and everything in the town and all its wealth, you may take for yourselves: the wealth of your haters, which the Lord your God has given you, will be your food.
15 Haka za ku yi da dukan biranen da suke nesa da ku, waɗanda kuma ba na al’ummai da suke kusa ba.
So you are to do to all the towns far away, which are not the towns of these nations.
16 Amma fa, a cikin biranen al’ummai da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku gādo, kada ku bar wani abu mai numfashi da rai.
But in the towns of these peoples whose land the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, let no living thing be kept from death:
17 Ku hallaka su ƙaƙaf, wato, Hittiyawa, Amoriyawa, Kan’aniyawa, Ferizziyawa, Hiwiyawa da kuma Yebusiyawa, yadda Ubangiji Allahnku ya umarce ku.
Give them up to the curse; the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as the Lord your God has given you orders:
18 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.
So that you may not take them as your example and do all the disgusting things which they do in the worship of their gods, so sinning against the Lord your God.
19 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?
If in war a town is shut in by your armies for a long time, do not let its trees be cut down and made waste; for their fruit will be your food; are the trees of the countryside men for you to take up arms against them?
20 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.
Only those trees which you are certain are not used for food may be cut down and put to destruction: and you are to make walls of attack against the town till it is taken.
