1 ¶ When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies and seest horses and chariots and a people more than thou, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

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.

2 A nd it shall be, when ye are come near unto the battle that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people

Oo markaad dagaalka ku soo dhowaataan, wadaadku waa inuu dadka u soo dhowaadaa oo la hadlaa,

3 a nd shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies; let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them,

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,

4 f or the LORD your God is he that goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa ah kan idinla socda inuu idiin dagaallamo oo cadaawayaashiinna idiinka hiiliyo si uu idiin badbaadiyo.

5 A nd the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house lest peradventure he die in the battle and another man dedicate it.

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.

6 A nd who has planted a vineyard and has not yet eaten of it? Let him also go and return unto his house lest peradventure he die in the battle and another man eat of it.

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.

7 A nd what man is there that has betrothed a wife and has not taken her? Let him go and return unto his house lest peradventure he die in the battle and another man take her.

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.

8 A nd the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and a coward at heart? Let him go and return unto his house that he not cause his brethren’s hearts to become as his heart.

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.

9 A nd it shall be when the officers have finished speaking unto the people that the captains of the armies shall lead before the people.

Oo markay saraakiishu dadka lahadliddiisa dhammeeyaan waa inay doortaan saraakiil ciidameed inay dadka madax u noqdaan.

10 ¶ When thou comest near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.

Markaad magaalo ugu soo dhowaataan inaad la dirirtaan, waxaad u naadisaan war nabdeed.

11 A nd it shall be, if it makes thee an answer of peace and opens unto thee, that all the people that are found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.

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.

12 A nd if it will make no peace with thee but will make war against thee, and if thou should besiege it,

Oo hadday idinla nabdi waayaan, laakiinse ay doonayaan inay idinla diriraan, markaas waa inaad hareeraysaan,

13 a nd if the LORD thy God should deliver it into thine hands, then thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword.

oo markii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu magaalada idiin soo gacangeliyo, dadkeeda labka ah oo dhan waa inaad seef ku wada laysaan,

14 O nly the women and the little ones and the animals and all that is in the city, all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat of the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God has given thee.

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.

15 T hus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these Gentiles.

Oo sidaas waa inaad u wada gashaan magaalooyinka idinka fog oo aan ahayn magaalooyinka quruumahan.

16 O nly of the cities of these peoples, which the LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breathes;

Laakiinse magaalooyinka dadyowga Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu dhaxalka idiin siiyey waa inaydaan wax nool oo neefsada dhexdooda ku reebin,

17 b ut thou shalt utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the LORD thy God has commanded thee,

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,

18 t hat they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they do unto their gods, lest ye should sin against the LORD your God.

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.

19 W hen thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them, for thou may eat of them; and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life) to employ them in the siege.

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?

20 O nly the trees which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that makes war with thee, until it is subdued.

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.
