1 Hagi ha' vahetaminema ha'ma hunaku'ma vanuta, hosi afuzmine, karisizmine, rama'a ha' vahetamima mani'nesageta kesuta, korora osiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma Isipiti'ma tamavre atiramino tamavreno'ma e'nea Anumzamo'a tamagrane mani'ne.

When you march out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, chariots, and a people more numerous than you, you must not be afraid of them; for Yahweh your God is with you, he who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

2 Hagi ha'ma hunaku'ma urava'oma hanageno'a, pristi vahe'mo eramavugateno amanage huno tamasamino,

When you are about to enter into battle, the priest must approach and speak to the people.

3 Israeli vahetamimota antahiho, ha' vahetamine ha'hunaku erava'o hazanki atrenkeno tamasumnamo'a fakro fakroa osina, tamahirahikura huta ha' vahetamigura korora osiho.

He must say to them, 'Listen, Israel, you are going to battle against your enemies. Do not let your hearts faint. Do not fear or tremble. Do not be afraid of them.

4 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a tamagrane nevuno, tamagri kaziga anteno ha' vahetmia hara huzmantesigeta hara huzmagateregahaze.

For Yahweh your God is the one who is going with you to fight for you against your enemies and to save you.'

5 Hagi sondia vahete (ofisa) kva vahe'mo'za sondia vahera amanage hu'za zamasamigahaze, kasefa noma kinte'neta ana noma nunamuma huta Anumzamofo azampima onte'nesuta, ete nontega viho. Na'ankure ha' kampima tamahena frisageno'a, tusi'a amuho huta kinte'nesaza nona, ru vahe'mo'za ana nompina manigahaze.

The officers must speak to the people and say, 'What man is there who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, so that he does not die in battle and another man dedicates it.

6 Hagi kasefa waini hoza kri'neta, ana hozafinti tagita one'nesamota, ete kumatega viho. Ha'ma hanafima tamahesageno ru vahe'mo'zama ana waini hozatamifinti'ma tagi'za nesageno'a, knarera osugahie.

Is there anyone who has planted a vineyard and has not enjoyed its fruit? Let him go home, so he will not die in battle and another man enjoy its fruit.

7 Hagi izano a' erigahane hu'za huhampri' tamante'nesimota ete kumatega vuta umani'neta ana ara eriho. Ru ha'pima tamahesageno ru vahe'mo'za ana a'ma erisageno'a, haviza hugahie.

What man is there who is engaged to marry a woman but has not yet married her? Let him go home so that he does not die in battle and another man marries her.'

8 Hagi mago'ane sondia vahe'mofo kva vahe'mo'za amanage hiho, koro'ma hanankeno kasumnamo'ma fakro fakroma hanimoka, mago'a tagri sondia vahetimofo zamazeri koro hugahazanki, ete kumatega viho.

The officers must speak further to the people and say, 'What man is there who is fearful or fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house, so that his brother's heart does not melt like his own heart.'

9 Hagi vugota sondia kva vahe'mo'za nanekema huvaretenu'za, sondia vahera kevure kevure refko hunezmante'za kva vahe zamazeri oti'nage'za, mago mago kevurera kegava hugahaze.

When the officers have finished speaking to the people, they must appoint commanders over them.

10 Hagi mago kumate'ma ha'ma hunaku'ma vurava'o hanuta, ese'zana tamarimpa fruge huta hara huormantesunanki amne kumatmia tamigahazo huta zamantahigeho.

When you march up to attack a city, make those people an offer of peace.

11 Hagi zamagrama ana kema antahi'za mago zamarimpa hu'za kuma kafazmima anagisageta ufresuta, ana kumapi vahera maka'mokizmigura hinke'za kazokazo eri'za vahe mani vagareho.

If they accept your offer and open their gates to you, all the people who are found in it must become forced labor for you and must serve you.

12 Hianagi ana kumapi vahe'mo'zama i'o nehu'za ha'ma huramantena, ana kumapi vahera ha' huzmanteho.

But if it makes no offer of peace to you, but instead makes war against you, then you must besiege it,

13 Hagi ana'ma hanageno'ma Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma ana kuma'ma tamazampima antena, maka venene'age bainati kazinteti zamahe frivagareho.

and when Yahweh your God gives you victory and puts them under your control, you must kill every man in the town.

14 Hianagi maka a'nene, mofavreramine, zagagafane, maka zantamina ana kumapinti'ma erisaza zantamina tamagri su'ane. Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo tamigahiankita, e'nerita musena hugahaze.

But the women, the little ones, the cattle, and everything that is in the city, and all its spoil, you will take as booty for yourself. You will consume the booty of your enemies, whom Yahweh your God has given to you.

15 Hianagi tamagri kuma'mofo afete'ma me'nenia kumatmi anara hiho. Hanki anama ufre'naza mopafi kumatmina anara osiho.

You must act in this way toward all the cities that are very far from you, cities that are not of the cities of these following nations.

16 Hianagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma tamami'nia mopafima me'nea kumatamimpima vahe'ene zagagafane zmasimu'ma eri'za nemanisaza zagaramina, magore hutma ozmatreta zamahehna hiho.

In the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance, you must save alive nothing that breathes.

17 Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante anteta, mika Hiti vahe'ma, Amori vahe'ma, Kenani vahe'ma, Perisi vahe'ma, Hivi vahe'ma, Jebusi vahera zamahe hana hiho.

Instead, you must completely destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as Yahweh your God has commanded you.

18 E'ina hinke'za kasrino havizama hu'nea avu'ava'ma hu'za havi anumza zmimofoma mono hunentaza zamavu'zmavara rempia huoraminketa, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avurera kumira osugahaze.

Do this so that they do not teach you to act in any of their abominable ways, as they have done with their gods. If you do, you will sin against Yahweh your God.

19 Mago kuma'ma za'zate'ma avazagi kagita ha'ma huzmantesuta, nezafa ragama renentea zafaramina raga'a negahazanki amne zampina sa'umenura antagi otreho. Na'ankure zafaramina e'i tamagri ha' vahera omani'naze!

When you will besiege a city for a long time, as you wage war against it to capture it, you must not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them. For you may eat from them, so you must not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a man whom you should besiege?

20 Hagi zafama antagisazana raga'ama one' zafage antagita hagina tro nehutma, hara hutma ana kumara erigahaze.

Only the trees that you know are not trees for food, you may destroy and cut down; you will build siege works against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
