Deuteronomy 20
1 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.
A IA hele oe e kaua aku i kou poe enemi, a ike aku i na lio a me na halekaa, a i na kanaka he nui aku i kou, mai makau ia lakou: no ka mea, me oe no o Iehova o kou Akua, nana oe i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
2 And when ye are come neere vnto the battel, then the Priest shall come forth to speake vnto the people,
A kokoke oukou e hoouka, alaila e hookokoke mai ke kahuna, a e olelo aku i na kanaka,
3 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.
E i aku ia lakou, E hoolohe, e ka Iseraela, Ke hookokoke oukou i keia la e kaua aku i ko oukou poe enemi: mai hoonawaliwaliia ko oukou naau, mai makau, mai pihoihoi, mai weliweli ia lakou:
4 For ye Lord your God goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, and to saue you
No ka mea, o Iehova ko oukou Akua, oia ke hele me oukou e kaua aku no oukou i ko oukou poe enemi, a e hoopakele ia oukou.
5 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.
Ae olelo aku na luna i na kanaka, i ka i ana'ku, Owai ke kanaka i kukulu i hale hou, aole nae i hoolilo aku? e hele ia a hoi aku i kona hale, o make auanei ia i ke kana, a o ke kanaka e ke hoolilo aku ia.
6 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.
Owai la ke kanaka i kana i ka malawaina, aole nae i ohi i ka hua? e hele ia, a hoi aku i kona hale, o make auanei ia i ke kaua, a e ohi ke kanaka e i ka hua.
7 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.
Owai ke kanaka i hoopalau i ka wahine, aole nae i lawe ia ia? e hele no ia, a hoi aku i kona hale, o make auanei ia i ke kana, a e lawe ke kanaka e ia ia.
8 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.
A e olelo hou na luna i na kanaka, a e i aku, Owai la ke kanaka makau a nawaliwali ma ka naau? e hele no ia, a e hoi aku i kona hale, o hee auanei ka naau o kona poe hoahanau e like me kona naau.
9 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.
A pau ka olelo a na luna i na kanaka, alaila e hoonoho lakou i na luna o ke kaua i alakai no na kanaka.
10 When thou commest neere vnto a citie to fight against it, thou shalt offer it peace.
Aia hookokoke aku oe i ke kalanakauhale e kaua aku ia ia, e hai aku oe i ka mea e malu ai ia.
11 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.
A ina i ae mai ia i ka mea e malu ai, a wehe mai ia nou, alaila e lilo na kanaka a pau i loaa malaila i mea hookupu nau, a e hookauwa mai lakou nau.
12 But if it will make no peace with thee, but make war against thee, then shalt thou besiege it.
A i ole ia e ae mai i ka mea e malu ai me oe, aka, e hana mai ia i ke kaua me oe, alaila oe e hoopuni aku ai ia ia.
13 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.
Aia hoolilo mai o Iehova kou Akua ia ia iloko o kou lima, alaila e luku oe i na kane a pau o ia wahi me ka maka o ka pahikaua.
14 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.
Aka, o na wahine a me na kamalii, a me na holoholona, a me na mea a pau iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a me kona waiwai pio a pau, e lawe pio oe ia mau mea nau; a e ai iho oe i ka waiwai pio o kou poe enemi a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe.
15 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.
Pela oe e hana aku ai i na kulanakauhale a pau i mamao loa aku ia oe, aole no na kulanakauhale o keia mau lahuikanaka.
16 But of the cities of this people, which the Lord thy God shall giue thee to inherite, thou shalt saue no person aliue,
Aka, o na kulanakauhale o keia poe kanaka a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai nou, mai hoola oe i kekahi mea e hanu ana.
17 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,
E luku loa aku ia lakou: i ka Heta, i ka Amora, i ka Kanaana, i ka Periza, i ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa, e like me ka Iehova kou Akua i kauoha mai ai ia oe:
18 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.
O ao mai auanei lakou ia oukou e hana aku e like me ka lakou mea haumia i hana aku ai lakou i ko lakou mau akua; a e hana hewa oukou ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua.
19 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)
Ina e loihi kou hoopilikia ana i kekahi kulanakauhale i ke kaua ana aku e hoopio ia ia, mai luku wale oe i kona laau i ka hahau ana ia mea i ke koilipi; no ka mea, e ai paha oe i kona, mai kua ilalo oe ia mea, i mea e pono ai ke kaua ana; no ka mea, no ke kanaka ka laau o ke kula.
20 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.
O ka laau au i ike ai aole he laau ai, oia wale no kau e luku aku, a e kua ilalo, a kukulu iho me ia i pakaua no ke kulanakauhale i kaua mai ai ia oe, a hiolo ia.
