व्यवस्था 20
1 तिमीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्धमा जाँदा तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको भन्दा धेरै घोडा, रथ र मानिसहरू देख्यौ भने तिनीहरूदेखि नडराओ । किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर तिमीहरूसितै हुनुहुन्छ जसले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट निकालेर ल्याउनुभयो ।
And if you should go forth to war against your enemies, and should see horse, and rider, and a people more numerous than yourself; you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God [is] with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
2 तिमीहरू युद्धमा जानै लाग्दा पुजारी नजिक आएर मानिसहरूलाई उसले यसो भन्नुपर्छ,
And it shall come to pass whenever you shall draw near to battle, that the priest shall draw near and speak to the people, and shall say to them,
3 'हे इस्राएली हो, सुन । तिमीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुको विरुद्धमा युद्धमा जान लागेका छौ । तिमीहरूका ह्रदय विचलत नहोऊन् । नडराओ, नकाम । तिनीहरूदेखि भयभीत नहोओ ।
Hear, O Israel; you are going this day to battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint, fear not, neither be confounded, neither turn aside from their face.
4 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर नै तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूको विरुद्धमा लडी तिमीहरूलाई बचाउन तिमीहरूको अगिअगि जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।'
For [it is] the Lord your God who advances with you, to fight with you against your enemies, [and] to save you.
5 अधिकारीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई यसो भनून्, 'के घर निर्माण गरेर त्यसलाई अर्पण गर्न नपाएको यहाँ कोही छ? त्यो आफ्नो घरमा फर्केर जाओस् ताकि त्यो युद्धमा मर्नु नपरोस् र अर्कोले त्यसको घर अर्पण नगरोस् ।
And the scribes shall speak to the people, saying, What man [is] he that has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the war, and another man dedicate it.
6 के दाखबारी लगाएर यसको फल खान नपाउने यहाँ कोही छ? त्यो घरमा जाओस् र युद्धमा मर्नु नपरोस् अनि अर्कोले त्यसलाई उपभोग गर्न नपाओस् ।
And what man [is] he that has planted a vineyard, and not been made merry with it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man be made merry with it.
7 के मगनी भएर बिहे नभएको यहाँ कोही मानिस छ? त्यो घरमा जाओस् ताकि त्यो युद्धमा मर्नु नपरोस् र त्यसलाई अर्कोले बिहे गर्न नपाओस् ।'
And what man [is] he 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 यसबाहेक अधिकारीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई यसो भनून्, 'के यहाँ कोही डरपोक र कातर छ? त्यो फर्केर आफ्नो घरमा जाओस् ताकि त्यसको भाइको हृदय त्यसको झैँ शिथिल नहोस् ।'
And the scribes shall speak further to the people, and say, What man [is] he that fears and is cowardly in his heart? Let him go and return to his house, lest he make the heart of his brother fail, as his own.
9 अधिकारीहरूले मानिसहरूसित बोलिसकेपछि तिनीहरूले उनीहरूमाथि सेनानायकहरू नियुक्त गरून् ।
And it shall come to pass when the scribes shall have ceased speaking to the people, that they shall appoint generals of the army to be leaders of the people.
10 कुनै सहरलाई आक्रमण गर्न तिमीहरू नजिक पुग्दा ती मानिसहरूसित शान्तिको प्रस्ताव राख्नू ।
And if you shall draw near to a city to overcome them by war, then call them out peaceably.
11 तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको प्रस्तावलाई स्वीकार गरी तिमीहरूलाई सहरमा स्वागत गरे भने त्यस सहरमा भएका सबै मानिसलाई बेगार काममा लगाउनू र तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको सेवा गरून् ।
If then they should answer peaceably to you, and open to you, it shall be that all the people found in it shall be tributary and subject to you.
12 तर तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूसित कुनै शान्ति सम्झौता गर्नुको साटो तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न आए भने तब तिमीहरूले सहरलाई घेरा हाल्नू,
But if they will not listen to you, but wage war against you, you shall invest it;
13 र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई विजय दिई तिमीहरूको नियन्त्रणमा ल्याउनुहुँदा तिमीहरूले त्यस सहरको हरेक व्यक्तिलाई मार्नू ।
until the Lord your God shall deliver it into your hands, and you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword:
14 तर स्त्री, बालबच्चा, गाईवस्तु र सहरमा भएका हरेक थोक लुटको मालको रूपमा आफ्नो लागि लैजानू । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूबाट दिनुभएको लुटको माल तिमीहरूले उपभोग गर्नू ।
except the women and the stuff: and all the cattle, and whatever shall be in the city, and all the plunder you shall take as spoil for yourself, and shall eat all the plunder of your enemies whom the Lord your God gives you.
15 तिमीहरूबाट टाढा भएका सबै सहरलाई मात्र तिमीहरूले यसो गर्नू, तिमीहरूले यी जातिहरूका सहरहरूलाई भने त्यसो नगर्नू ।
Thus shall you do to all the cities that are very far off from you, not [being] of the cities of these nations which the Lord your God gives you to inherit their land.
16 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिनुहुने यी जातिहरूको सहरहरूमा भने तिमीहरूले सास फेर्ने कसैलाई जीवित नराख्नू ।
[Of these] you shall not take any thing alive;
17 बरु, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिमीहरूले हित्ती, एमोरी, कनानी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गरिदिनू ।
but you shall surely curse them, the Chettite, and the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Gergesite; as the Lord your God commanded you:
18 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना देवताहरूसित गरेका तिनीहरूका घृणित मार्गहरू तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई नसिकाऊन् भन्नाका लागि यसो गर्नू । तिनीहरूको मार्ग पछ्यायौ भने तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरका विरुद्धमा पाप गर्ने छौ ।
that they may not teach you to do all their abominations, which they did to their gods, and [so] you should sin before the Lord your God.
19 कुनै सहरलाई कब्जा गर्न तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई लामो समयसम्म घेर्दा तिमीहरूले बञ्चरोले यसका रुखहरू नकाट्नू । किनकि तिमीहरूले तीबाट खान सक्छौ । त्यसैले, तिनलाई नकाट । किनकि के जङ्गलका रुखहरू जाति हुन् जसलाई तिमीहरू घेरा हाल्छौ?
And if you should besiege a city many days to prevail against it by war to take it, you shall not destroy its trees, by applying an iron tool to them, but you shall eat of it, and shall not cut it down: Is the tree that is in the field a man, to enter before you into the work of the siege?
20 फल दिने रुखहरू होइनन् भनी तिमीहरूले चिनेका रुखहरूलाई मात्र तिमीहरूले काटेर नष्ट गर्नू । तिमीहरूसित युद्ध गर्ने सहर पराजित नभएसम्म घेरा हाल्ने काममा ती प्रयोग गर्न सक्छौ ।
But the tree which you know to be not fruit-bearing, this you shall destroy and cut down; and you shall construct a mound against the city, which makes war against you, until it be delivered up.
