Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1When you go out to war against your enemies and see horses, chariots, and an army larger than yours, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you.
1“Pacl kowos illa in mweun lain mwet lokoalok lowos, ac kowos liye chariot ac horse ac sie un mwet mweun su pus liki kowos, kowos, in tia sangeng selos. LEUM GOD lowos, su molikowosla ac uskowosme liki facl Egypt, El ac fah wi kowos.
2When you are about to go into battle, the priest is to come forward and address the army,
2Meet liki kowos mutawauk mweun, sie mwet tol fah fahsryak nu meet uh ac fahk nu sin un mwet mweun,
3saying to them, “Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle with your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not be alarmed or terrified because of them.
3‘Mukul Israel, porongo! Misenge kowos ac som mweun. Nikmet sangeng sin mwet lokoalok lowos, a kowos in pulaik ac tia sensen ku fosrnga.
4For the LORD your God goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.”
4LEUM GOD lowos El ac wi kowos, ac El ac sot kutangla nu suwos.’
5Furthermore, the officers are to address the army, saying, “Has any man built a new house and not dedicated it? Let him return home, or he may die in battle and another man dedicate it.
5“Na mwet kol lun un mwet mweun uh ac fah fahk nu sin mwet uh, ‘Su suwos tufahna musaela lohm se sel ma soenna kisakunla? Fin oasr, na elan folokla nu lohm sel uh, mweyen el fin tuh anwuki ke mweun uh, siena mwet ac tuh kisaela lohm sel uh.
6Has any man planted a vineyard and not begun to enjoy its fruit? Let him return home, or he may die in battle and another man enjoy its fruit.
6Su suwos tufahna yukwiya sie ima in grape, a soenna kosrani fahko kac? Fin oasr, elan folokla, mweyen el fin tuh misa ke mweun uh, siena mwet ac tuh kang fahko kac.
7Has any man become pledged to a woman and not married her? Let him return home, or he may die in battle and another man marry her.”
7Su suwos akoo in payukyak a soenna alula? Fin oasr, elan folokla nu yen sel, mweyen el fin tuh misa ke mweun uh, siena mwet ac payukyak sin mutan se el ako se uh.’
8Then the officers shall speak further to the army, saying, “Is any man afraid or fainthearted? Let him return home, so that the hearts of his brothers will not melt like his own.”
8“Mwet kol fah oayapa fahk nu sin mwet uh, ‘Su suwos munasla nanka ac sangeng? Fin oasr, elan folokla, mweyen el fin wi kut, el ac akmunasyela nunkun mwet mweun wial uh.’
9When the officers have finished addressing the army, they are to appoint commanders to lead it.
9Ke mwet kol elos sramsram tari nu sin un mwet mweun uh, elos fah pakiya mwet in kol kais sie u.”
10When you approach a city to fight against it, you are to make an offer of peace.
10“Ke kowos som in mweuni sie siti, ma se meet kowos in oru pa in akkalemye nu sin mwet we ke inkanek in orek misla.
11If they accept your offer of peace and open their gates, all the people there will become forced laborers to serve you.
11Elos fin insese in suk misla, na elos nukewa fah mwet kohs lowos ac oru kutena orekma kowos sapkin nu selos.
12But if they refuse to make peace with you and wage war against you, lay siege to that city.
12Tusruktu mwet in siti sac fin tia insese in suk misla, a elos sulela in mweun, kowos fah kuhlusya in mweunelos.
13When the LORD your God has delivered it into your hand, you must put every male to the sword.
13Na ke LEUM GOD lowos El oru tuh kowos in kutangla siti sac, kowos fah uniya mukul nukewa we.
14But the women, children, livestock, and whatever else is in the city—all its spoil—you may take as plunder, and you shall use the spoil of your enemies that the LORD your God gives you.
14Tusruktu, kowos ku in eis mutan, tulik, kosro, ac ma nukewa saya tuh in ma wap lowos. Kowos in insewowokin ma nukewa lun mwet lokoalok lowos, su LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos.
15This is how you are to treat all the cities that are far away from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
15Pa inge ma kowos ac oru nu ke siti nukewa ma oan loessula liki acn kowos ac muta we.
16However, in the cities of the nations that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you must not leave alive anything that breathes.
16“Tusruktu, ke kowos ac kutangla siti in facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos, kowos in onela mwet ac kosro nukewa.
17For you must devote them to complete destruction —the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you,
17Kunausla mwet nukewa: mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Canaan, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv ac mwet Jebus, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu suwos.
18so that they cannot teach you to do all the detestable things they do for their gods, and so cause you to sin against the LORD your God.
18Onelosla nukewa elos in tia luti kowos ouiya ma srungayuk ma elos oru ke elos alu nu sin god lalos, ma pwanang kowos orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD .
19When you lay siege to a city for an extended time while fighting against it to capture it, you must not destroy its trees by putting an axe to them, because you can eat their fruit. You must not cut them down. Are the trees of the field human, that you should besiege them?
19“Ke pacl kowos srike in sruokya sie siti, kowos in tia pakiya sak ma oasr fahko kac, kowos finne kuhlusya acn sac ke pacl na loes. Kang fokinsak kac, tusruk nimet pakela sak uh. Mwet lokoalok lowos pa mwet we, tia sak we.
20But you may destroy the trees that you know do not produce fruit. Use them to build siege works against the city that is waging war against you, until it falls.
20Kowos ku in pakiya sak nukewa ma wangin fahko kac, in orek nien fan nu in siti sacn nwe ke kowos sruokya.
