Sharciga Kunoqoshadiisa 20
1 Markaad dagaal ugu baxdaan cadaawayaashiinna, oo aad aragtaan fardo iyo gaadhifardood iyo dad idinka sii badan, waa inaydaan ka cabsan, waayo, waxaa idinla jira Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar.
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 Oo markaad dagaalka ku soo dhowaataan, wadaadku waa inuu dadka u soo dhowaadaa oo la hadlaa,
When you are about to enter into battle, the priest must approach and speak to the people.
3 oo ha ku yidhaahdo, Reer binu Israa'iilow, maqla, maanta waxaad ku soo dhowaanaysaan dagaal aad cadaawayaashiinna kula diriraysaan, haddaba qalbigiinnu yuusan itaal darnaan, oo ha cabsanina, hana gariirina, iyagana ha ka baqina,
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 maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa ah kan idinla socda inuu idiin dagaallamo oo cadaawayaashiinna idiinka hiiliyo si uu idiin badbaadiyo.
For Yahweh your God is the one who is going with you to fight for you against your enemies and to save you.'
5 Oo saraakiishu dadka ha la hadleen oo ha ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkee baa guri cusub dhistay oo aan weli u ducaysan? Kaasu ha tago oo gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waaba intaasoo intuu dagaalka ku dhinto uu nin kale u ducaystaaye.
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 Oo ninkee baa beer canab ah beertay oo aan weli midhihiisii ku isticmaalin? Kaasu ha tago oo gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waaba intaasoo intuu dagaalka ku dhinto uu nin kale midhihiisa ku isticmaalaaye.
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 Oo ninkee bay naagu u doonan tahay, oo aan weli guursan? Kaasu ha tago oo gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waaba intaasoo intuu dagaalka ku dhinto uu nin kale guursadaaye.
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 Oo saraakiishu weliba dadka ha la sii hadleen oo ha ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkee baa cabsanaya oo qalbigiisu itaal daranyahay? Kaasu ha tago oo gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waaba intaasoo qalbiga walaalihiis uu u baqaa sida qalbigiisoo kale.
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 Oo markay saraakiishu dadka lahadliddiisa dhammeeyaan waa inay doortaan saraakiil ciidameed inay dadka madax u noqdaan.
When the officers have finished speaking to the people, they must appoint commanders over them.
10 Markaad magaalo ugu soo dhowaataan inaad la dirirtaan, waxaad u naadisaan war nabdeed.
When you march up to attack a city, make those people an offer of peace.
11 Oo hadday jawaab nabdeed idin siiyaan oo ay albaabka idinka furaan, waa inay dadka magaaladaas dhexdeeda laga helo oo dhammu addoommo idiin noqdaan oo ay idiin wada adeegaan.
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 Oo hadday idinla nabdi waayaan, laakiinse ay doonayaan inay idinla diriraan, markaas waa inaad hareeraysaan,
But if it makes no offer of peace to you, but instead makes war against you, then you must besiege it,
13 oo markii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu magaalada idiin soo gacangeliyo, dadkeeda labka ah oo dhan waa inaad seef ku wada laysaan,
and when Yahweh your God gives you victory and puts them under your control, you must kill every man in the town.
14 laakiinse dumarka iyo dhallaanka iyo xoolaha iyo waxa magaalada ku jira oo dhan, xataa wax kasta oo laga dhacaba waa inaad booli ahaan u qaadataan, oo waa inaad cuntaan xoolihii aad cadaawayaashiinna ka dhacdeen oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siiyey.
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 Oo sidaas waa inaad u wada gashaan magaalooyinka idinka fog oo aan ahayn magaalooyinka quruumahan.
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 Laakiinse magaalooyinka dadyowga Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu dhaxalka idiin siiyey waa inaydaan wax nool oo neefsada dhexdooda ku reebin,
In the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance, you must save alive nothing that breathes.
17 illowse waa inaad dhammaantood u wada baabbi'isaan, kuwaasoo ah reer Xeed, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Kancaan, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Yebuusba, siduu Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu idiinku amray,
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 si ayan idiin barin inaad samaysaan waxyaalahooda karaahiyada ah oo ay ilaahyadooda ku sameeyeen oo dhan, oo aydaan idinku saas ugu dembaabin Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
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 Oo markaad wakhti dheer magaalo dagaal ku hareeraynaysaan si aad u qabsataan, waa inaydaan dhirteeda faas ku baabbi'in, waayo, wax baad ka cuni karaysaan, saas aawadeed waa inaydaan jarin. Waayo, bal geedka duurka ma nin baa oo aad saas darteed u weerartaan?
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 Waxaad keliyahoo baabbi'isaan oo jartaan dhirta aad garanaysaan inayan ahayn dhir la cuno, oo magaalada idinla dirirayso waa inaad hareeraheeda ka dhisataan dhufaysyo ilaa ay dhacdo.
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.
