Deuteronomio 20
1 Inton mapankayo makigubat kadagiti kabusoryo, ket makitayo dagiti kabalio, lugan a panggubat, ken ad-adu a tattao ngem kadakayo, masapul a saankayo nga agbuteng kadakuada; ta adda ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo, a nangiruar kadakayo manipud iti daga ti Egipto.
When thou shalt go forth to warre against thine enemies, and shalt see horses and charets, and people moe then thou, be not afrayde of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
2 Inton asidegkayon a makigubat, masapul nga umasideg ti padi ken agsao kadagiti tattao,
And when ye are come neere vnto the battel, then the Priest shall come forth to speake vnto the people,
3 ket ibagana kadakuada, 'Dumngegkayo, Israel, ita nga aldaw, asidegkayon a makigubat kadagiti kabusoryo; saan koma a maupay dagiti pusoyo; saankayo nga agbuteng, wenno agpigerger, wenno agbuteng kadakuada;
And shall say vnto them, Heare, O Israel: ye are come this day vnto battell against your enemies: let not your heartes faynt, neither feare, nor be amased, nor adread of them.
4 ta kumuyog ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo a makiranget kadagiti kabusoryo ken mangisalakan kadakayo.'
For ye Lord your God goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, and to saue you
5 Masapul nga agsao dagiti opisial kadagiti tattao ket ibagada, “Siasino a lalaki ti adda ditoy a nangipatakder iti baro a balay ket saanna pay a naidaton daytoy? Palubosanyo isuna nga agsubli iti balayna, tapno saan isuna a matay iti paggugubatan ket sabali a lalaki ti mangidaton iti daytoy.
And let the officers speake vnto the people, saying, What man is there that hath buylt a new house, and hath not dedicate it? let him go and returne to his house, least he dye in the battel, and an other man dedicate it.
6 Siasino a lalaki ti nagmula iti kaubasan ken saanna pay a napagnumaran ti bunga dagitoy? Palubosanyo isuna nga agsubli iti balayna, tapno saan isuna a matay iti paggugubatan ket sabali a lalaki ti agnumar iti bunga dagitoy.
And what man is there that hath planted a vineyarde, and hath not eaten of the fruite? let him go and returne againe vnto his house, least he die in the battel, and another eate the fruite.
7 Siasino a lalaki ti adda ditoy a naitulag a makiasawa iti maysa a babai ngem saanna pay a naasawa isuna? Palubosanyo isuna nga agsubli iti balayna tapno saan isuna a matay iti paggugubatan ket sabali a lalaki ti mangasawa kenkuana.'
And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and returne againe vnto his house, lest he die in the battell, and another man take her.
8 Masapul nga agsao pay dagiti opisial kadagiti tattao ket kunada, 'Siasino a lalaki ti adda ditoy a managbuteng wenno maup-upay ti pusona? Palubosanyo isuna nga agsubli iti balayna, tapno saan a marunaw ti puso ti kabsatna a kasla iti pusona.'
And let the officers speake further vnto the people, and say, Whosoeuer is afrayde and faynt hearted, let him go and returne vnto his house, least his brethrens heart faynt like his heart.
9 Inton nalpasen ti panagsao dagiti opisial kadagiti tattao, masapul a mangdutokda kadagiti mangidaulo kadakuada.
And after that the officers haue made an ende of speaking vnto the people, they shall make captaines of the armie to gouerne the people.
10 Inton mapanyo rauten ti maysa a siudad, idiayayo ti pannakikapia kadagitoy a tattao.
When thou commest neere vnto a citie to fight against it, thou shalt offer it peace.
11 No awatenda ti idiayayo ket ilukatandakayo iti ruangan, masapul nga inkapilitan nga agtrabaho para kadakayo dagiti amin tattao a masarakan iti daytoy ken masapul nga agserbida kadakayo.
And if it answere thee againe peaceably, and open vnto thee, then let all the people that is founde therein, be tributaries vnto thee, and serue thee.
12 Ngem no saan daytoy a makikapia kadakayo, ngem makigubatda ketdi kadakayo, masapul ngarud a lakubenyo daytoy,
But if it will make no peace with thee, but make war against thee, then shalt thou besiege it.
13 ket inton pagballigiennakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo ken ipaiturayanna ida kadakayo, masapul a papatayenyo ti tunggal lalaki iti ili.
And the Lord thy God shall deliuer it into thine handes, and thou shalt smite all the males thereof with the edge of the sworde.
14 Ngem dagiti babbai, dagiti ubbing, dagiti ayup, ken amin nga adda iti siudad, ken amin a masamsam ditoy, alaenyonto a kas sinamsamyo. Usarenyonto dagiti sinamsam dagiti kabusoryo, nga inted ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo.
Onely the women, and the children, and the cattel, and all that is in the citie, euen all the spoyle thereof shalt thou take vnto thy selfe, and shalt eate the spoyle of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath giuen thee.
15 Masapul nga agtignaykayo iti kastoy a wagas kadagiti amin a siudad nga adayo unay kadakayo, dagiti siudad a saan a dagiti siudad kadagitoy sumaganad a nasion.
Thus shalt thou do vnto all ye cities, which are a great way off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations here.
16 Kadagiti siudad dagitoy a tattao nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo a kas tawidyo, masapul nga awan ibatiyo nga agang-anges.
But of the cities of this people, which the Lord thy God shall giue thee to inherite, thou shalt saue no person aliue,
17 Ngem ketdi, masapul a dadaelenyo ida a naan-anay: dagiti Heteo, ken dagiti Amorreo, dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Heveo ken dagiti Jebuseo a kas imbilin ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo.
But shalt vtterly destroy them: to wit, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee,
18 Aramidenyo daytoy tapno saandakayo a suroan nga agaramid iti aniaman kadagiti makarimon a wagasda, a kas inaramidda kadagiti didiosenda. No aramidenyo, agbasolkayonto kenni Yahweh a Diosyo.
That they teache you not to doe after all their abominations, which they haue done vnto their gods, and so ye should sinne against the Lord your God.
19 Inton lakubenyo ti maysa a siudad iti nabayag a panawen, a kas iti pannakigubatyo iti daytoy tapno masakupyo, masapul a saanyo a dadaelen dagiti kaykayo daytoy babaen iti panangwasayyo kadagitoy. Ta mabalinyo ti mangan manipud kadagitoy, isu a masapul a saanyo a pukanen dagitoy. Ta tao kadi ti kayo iti taltalon a nasken a lakubenyo?
When thou hast besieged a citie long time, and made warre against it to take it, destroy not the trees therof, by smiting an axe into them: for thou mayest eate of them: therfore thou shalt not cut them downe to further thee in the siege, (for the tree of the field is mans life)
20 Dagiti laeng kaykayo nga ammoyo a saan a mabalin a kanen, mabalinyo a dadaelen ken pukanen dagitoy; mangbangonkayonto iti sarikedked a maibusor iti siudad a makigubat kadakayo, agingga a marba daytoy.
Onely those trees, which thou knowest are not for meate, those shalt thou destroy and cut downe, and make fortes against the citie that maketh warre with thee, vntil thou subdue it.
