Kanawailua 20
1 A IA hele oe e kaua aku i kou poe enemi, a ike aku i na lio a me na halekaa, a i na kanaka he nui aku i kou, mai makau ia lakou: no ka mea, me oe no o Iehova o kou Akua, nana oe i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than you, be not afraid of them: for the LORD your God is with you, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
2 A kokoke oukou e hoouka, alaila e hookokoke mai ke kahuna, a e olelo aku i na kanaka,
And it shall be, when you are come near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
3 E i aku ia lakou, E hoolohe, e ka Iseraela, Ke hookokoke oukou i keia la e kaua aku i ko oukou poe enemi: mai hoonawaliwaliia ko oukou naau, mai makau, mai pihoihoi, mai weliweli ia lakou:
And shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, you approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be you terrified because of them;
4 No ka mea, o Iehova ko oukou Akua, oia ke hele me oukou e kaua aku no oukou i ko oukou poe enemi, a e hoopakele ia oukou.
For the LORD your God is he that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
5 Ae olelo aku na luna i na kanaka, i ka i ana'ku, Owai ke kanaka i kukulu i hale hou, aole nae i hoolilo aku? e hele ia a hoi aku i kona hale, o make auanei ia i ke kana, a o ke kanaka e ke hoolilo aku ia.
And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man is there that has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6 Owai la ke kanaka i kana i ka malawaina, aole nae i ohi i ka hua? e hele ia, a hoi aku i kona hale, o make auanei ia i ke kaua, a e ohi ke kanaka e i ka hua.
And what man is he that has planted a vineyard, and has not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
7 Owai ke kanaka i hoopalau i ka wahine, aole nae i lawe ia ia? e hele no ia, a hoi aku i kona hale, o make auanei ia i ke kana, a e lawe ke kanaka e ia ia.
And what man is there that has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
8 A e olelo hou na luna i na kanaka, a e i aku, Owai la ke kanaka makau a nawaliwali ma ka naau? e hele no ia, a e hoi aku i kona hale, o hee auanei ka naau o kona poe hoahanau e like me kona naau.
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 faint as well as his heart.
9 A pau ka olelo a na luna i na kanaka, alaila e hoonoho lakou i na luna o ke kaua i alakai no na kanaka.
And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking to the people that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
10 Aia hookokoke aku oe i ke kalanakauhale e kaua aku ia ia, e hai aku oe i ka mea e malu ai ia.
When you come near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
11 A ina i ae mai ia i ka mea e malu ai, a wehe mai ia nou, alaila e lilo na kanaka a pau i loaa malaila i mea hookupu nau, a e hookauwa mai lakou nau.
And it shall be, if it make you answer of peace, and open to you, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries to you, and they shall serve you.
12 A i ole ia e ae mai i ka mea e malu ai me oe, aka, e hana mai ia i ke kaua me oe, alaila oe e hoopuni aku ai ia ia.
And if it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it:
13 Aia hoolilo mai o Iehova kou Akua ia ia iloko o kou lima, alaila e luku oe i na kane a pau o ia wahi me ka maka o ka pahikaua.
And when the LORD your God has delivered it into your hands, you shall smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
14 Aka, o na wahine a me na kamalii, a me na holoholona, a me na mea a pau iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a me kona waiwai pio a pau, e lawe pio oe ia mau mea nau; a e ai iho oe i ka waiwai pio o kou poe enemi a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe.
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shall you take to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.
15 Pela oe e hana aku ai i na kulanakauhale a pau i mamao loa aku ia oe, aole no na kulanakauhale o keia mau lahuikanaka.
Thus shall you do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16 Aka, o na kulanakauhale o keia poe kanaka a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai nou, mai hoola oe i kekahi mea e hanu ana.
But of the cities of these people, which the LORD your God does give you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes:
17 E luku loa aku ia lakou: i ka Heta, i ka Amora, i ka Kanaana, i ka Periza, i ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa, e like me ka Iehova kou Akua i kauoha mai ai ia oe:
But you shall utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD your God has commanded you:
18 O ao mai auanei lakou ia oukou e hana aku e like me ka lakou mea haumia i hana aku ai lakou i ko lakou mau akua; a e hana hewa oukou ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua.
That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so should you sin against the LORD your God.
19 Ina e loihi kou hoopilikia ana i kekahi kulanakauhale i ke kaua ana aku e hoopio ia ia, mai luku wale oe i kona laau i ka hahau ana ia mea i ke koilipi; no ka mea, e ai paha oe i kona, mai kua ilalo oe ia mea, i mea e pono ai ke kaua ana; no ka mea, no ke kanaka ka laau o ke kula.
When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an ax against them: for you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life) to employ them in the siege:
20 O ka laau au i ike ai aole he laau ai, oia wale no kau e luku aku, a e kua ilalo, a kukulu iho me ia i pakaua no ke kulanakauhale i kaua mai ai ia oe, a hiolo ia.
Only the trees which you know that they be not trees for meat, you shall destroy and cut them down; and you shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it be subdued.
