< Teutalonome 20 >
1 “ʻOka ke ka ʻalu ke tauʻi ho ngaahi fili, mo ke mamata ki he fanga hoosi, mo e ngaahi saliote, mo e kakai ʻoku tokolahi hake ʻiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu: he ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
當你出征進攻你的仇敵,見到戰馬戰車和比你更多的群眾時,你不必害怕,因為領你出埃及地的上主你的天主與你在一起。
2 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hoʻomou hoko ʻo ofi ki he tau, ʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻo lea ki he kakai,
當你們快要交戰時,司祭應上前來,對民眾訓話,
3 Pea ʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘Fanongo, ʻE ʻIsileli, ʻoku mou hoko ʻo ofi he ʻaho ni ke tau mo homou ngaahi fili: ʻoua naʻa mou loto foʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē, pe tetetete, pe lilika kiate kinautolu;
向他們說:「以色列,請聽! 你們今天就要上陣攻打你們的仇敵,你們不要灰心,不要害怕,不要恐慌,不要在他們面前戰慄,
4 He ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu mo kimoutolu, ke tauʻi homou ngaahi fili maʻamoutolu, ke fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu.’
因為上主你們的天主與你們同去,幫助你們攻打你們的仇敵,使你們勝利。」
5 “Pea ʻe lea ʻae kau matāpule ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai ha tangata kuo ne langa ha fale foʻou, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hūfia ia; ke ʻalu ia ʻo foki ki hono fale, telia naʻa mate ia ʻi he tau, pea huufi ia ʻe ha tangata kehe.
然後長官對民眾說:「誰若蓋了新房屋,還沒有祝聖,他可回家去,免得他死在戰場,別人來替他祝聖。
6 Pea ko hai ha tangata kuo ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai te ne kai mei ai? Ke ʻalu ia ʻo foki ki hono fale, telia naʻa mate ia ʻi he tau, pea kai mei ai ʻe ha tangata kehe.
誰若栽種了葡萄園,還沒有享用過,他可回家去,免得他死在戰場,別人來替他收穫。
7 Pea ko hai ha tangata kuo poloʻi ha fefine kiate ia, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai te ne maʻu ia? Ke ʻalu ia pea foki ki hono fale, telia naʻa mate ia ʻi he tau, pea maʻu ia ʻe ha tangata kehe.’
誰若與女人訂了婚,還沒有迎娶,他可回家去,免得他死在戰場,別人來娶她。」
8 Pea ʻe toe lea ʻae kau matāpule ki he kakai, pea tenau pehē, ‘Ko hai ha tangata ʻoku manavahē mo loto foʻi? Ke ʻalu ia ʻo foki ki hono fale, telia naʻa vaivai foki ʻae loto ʻo hono ngaahi kāinga ʻo hangē ko hono loto.’
長官再繼續對民眾致辭說:「誰若害怕灰心,他可回家去,免得他使兄弟的心,如他的一樣沮喪。」
9 Pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka hili ʻae lea ʻae kau matāpule ki he kakai tenau toki fakanofo ʻae kau ʻeikitau ki he kau tau kenau taki ʻae tau.
長官向民眾訓完話,就派定軍官統率部隊。
10 “ʻOka ke ka hoko ʻo ofi ki ha kolo ke tauʻi ia, te ke fakahā ʻae melino ki ai.
當你臨近一城要進攻時,應先向那城提議和平;
11 Pea ʻe pehē, kapau ʻoku tali fakamelino ia, pea ʻoku toʻo ia kiate koe, pea ʻe toki pehē, ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai ʻe hopoate kotoa pē kiate koe, pea tenau tauhi koe.
若那地給你和平的答覆,給你開門,城內所有的人民就臣服於你,給你服役。
12 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai fai ia ha fakalelei mo koe, ka ʻoku loto ke tauʻi koe, te ke toki tauʻi ia:
如不與你講和,反願與你作戰,你就圍攻。
13 Pea hili hono tuku ia ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki ho nima, te ke taaʻi ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā:
幾時上主你的天主將城交在你手中,你應用利刃殺盡所有的男人;
14 Ka ko e kau fefine, mo e fānau siʻi, mo e fanga manu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he kolo, ʻio, ko e meʻa vete kotoa pē ʻo ia, ke ke toʻo kiate koe; pea ke kai ʻae meʻa vete ʻa ho ngaahi fili, ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.
至於婦女、嬰兒、牲畜和在城內所有的一切,算是你奪得的勝利品,你可享用你由仇人奪得的勝利品,因為是上主你的天主賜給你的。
15 Ke ke fai pehē pe ki he ngaahi kolo ʻaia ʻoku mamaʻo ʻaupito meiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ni.
這是你對於離你很遠,且不屬於這些民族的城市的作法。
16 Ka ko e ngaahi kolo ʻae kakai ni, ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ko ho tofiʻa, ʻoua naʻa ke fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻoku mānava:
但是在上主你的天主賜給你作產業的這些人民的城市內,你不可讓任何生靈生活,
17 Ka te ke fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu; ʻae kau Heti, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe:
應將他們:即赫特人、阿摩黎人。客納罕人、培黎齊人、希威人和耶步斯人,盡行毀滅,如上主你的天主吩咐你的,
18 Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau ako kiate kimoutolu ke fai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi ngāue kovi ki honau ngaahi ʻotua: pea mou fai angahala ai kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
免得他們教你學習他們對自己的神所行的一切可惡之事,使你們得罪上主你們的天主。
19 “ʻOka ke ka kāpui ha kolo ʻo fuoloa, ʻi hoʻo tauʻi ia ke lavaʻi, ʻoua naʻa ke maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻo ia ʻi hoʻo ʻai mālohi ʻae toki ki ai: he koeʻuhi te ke kai mei ai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke tā hifo ia ke ngāueʻaki ʻi he tau, (he ko e ʻakau ʻoe ngoue ko e moʻui ia ʻae tangata: )
若你圍攻一座城,需要多日纔能攻取佔領,你不可用斧頭砍伐那裏的樹木;你可以吃樹上的果子,卻不可砍倒樹;難道田間的樹可當作你圍攻的敵人看待﹖
20 Ka ko e ngaahi ʻakau ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngaahi ʻakau fua ke kai, ke ke maumau mo ke tā hifo ia, pea te ke tanu puke ki he kolo ʻoku ne tauʻi koe kaeʻoua ke ke lavaʻi ia.
只是那些你不知道不結實的樹木,你可毀壞砍伐,用來建築圍攻的設備,為進攻與你交戰的城市,直到將城攻下。
