Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, chariots, and a people more numerous than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.
1Na thunkha taengah caem la na cet tih nang lakah aka yet pilnam kah marhang neh leng te na hmu cakhaw Egypt kho lamloh nang aka khuen BOEIPA na Pathen te nang taengla a om dongah amih te rhih boeh.
2It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
2Caemtloek neh na yoei vaengah khaw khosoih loh ha mop van saeh lamtah pilnam taengah ol aka thui la om van saeh.
3and shall tell them, “Hear, Israel, you draw near today to battle against your enemies. Don’t let your heart faint! Don’t be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;
3Te vaengah amih te, “Israel nang loh hnatun lah. Tihnin kah na thunkha rhoek taengah caemtloek la na mop uh vaengah na thinko phoena sak boeh, rhih uh boeh, tamto uh boeh, amih mikhmuh ah na sarhing uh boeh.
4for the LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”
4Na thunkha rhoek te nangmih ham aka tloek tih nangmih aka khang ham ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih taengah a pongpa,” ti nah saeh.
5The officers shall speak to the people, saying, “What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
5Rhoiboei rhoek long khaw pilnam te voek uh saeh lamtah, “Hlang khat khat loh im thai a sak tih a uum pawt atah cet saeh lamtah amah im la bal saeh. Caemtloek vaengah duek vetih hlang tloe loh vik uum pah ve.
6What man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not used its fruit? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use its fruit.
6Hlang khat khat loh misur a ling tih a uem hlan atah cet saeh lamtah amah im la bal saeh. Caemtloek vaengah duek vetih hlang tloe loh vik uem pah ve.
7What man is there who has pledged to be married to a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.”
7Hlang khat khat loh yuu a bae tih a loh hlan atah cet saeh lamtah a im la bal saeh. Caemtloek vaengah duek vetih hlang tloe loh vik loh pah ve,” ti nah saeh.
8The officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, “What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brother’s heart melt as his heart.”
8Te phoeiah pilnam taengah a thui ham rhoiboei rhoek loh thap uh saeh lamtah, “Hlang khat khat long ni a rhih tih a thinko a mongkawt atah cet saeh lamtah amah im la bal saeh. Te daengah ni anih kah a thinko bangla a manuca rhoek kah a thinko khaw a yut pawt eh?,” ti na uh saeh.
9It shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall appoint captains of armies at the head of the people.
9Pilnam taengkah olthui te rhoiboei rhoek loh a khah phoeiah pilnam kah a lu dongah caempuei rhoek kah mangpa te hlah la om saeh.
10When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
10Khopuei te na paan tih na vathoh thil vaengah anih te rhoepnah neh tuentah dae.
11It shall be, if it gives you answer of peace and opens to you, then it shall be that all the people who are found therein shall become forced laborers to you, and shall serve you.
11Te vaengah nang te rhoepnah neh n'doo tih nang hamla thohka aka ong a om atah a khuikah m'hmuh pilnam boeih neh saldong khaw nang hamla om saeh lamtah nang taengah thotat uh saeh.
12If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.
12Tedae nang te n'thuung pawt tih nang te caem la m'hmoel atah amah te na dum van ni.
13When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword;
13Te vaengah anih te BOEIPA na Pathen loh na kut dongah han tloeng vetih cunghang ha neh amah tongpaca te boeih na tloek bitni.
14but the women, the little ones, the livestock, and all that is in the city, even all its plunder, you shall take for plunder for yourself. You may use the plunder of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.
14Huta camoe neh rhamsa khaw, khopuei khuikah aka om boeih neh a kutbuem boeih khaw namah ham na poel na yoe vetih BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah m'paek na thunkha rhoek kah a kutbuem te na caak ni.
15Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
15A yoei kah namtom khopuei rhoek he pawt tih namah taeng lamloh bahoeng aka hla khopuei rhoek te boeih na saii ni.
16But of the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
16Tedae BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah rho la m'paek, pilnam rhoek kah khopuei ah hiil aka khueh boeih tah na hlun mahpawh.
17but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has commanded you;
17Te dongah amih Khitti neh Amori, Kanaani neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi ngawn tah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang ng'uen vanbangla na thup rhoe na thup ni.
18that they not teach you to follow all their abominations, which they have done for their gods; so would you sin against the LORD your God.
18Amamih kah pathen rhoek taengah a saii uh tueilaehkoi boeih te saii hamla na cang mahpawh. BOEIPA na Pathen taengah na tholh van ve.
19When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them; for you may eat of them. You shall not cut them down, for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged by you?
19Khopuei te tuuk ham neh tloek hamla khohnin a sen na dum atah a taengah hai neh heh tih a thing te na hum mahpawh. Amih te na caak thai dongah na vung mahpawh. Na mikhmuh kah vongup khuiah na paan te khaw khohmuen thingkung lamkah hlang boeiloeih ni.
20Only the trees that you know are not trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down. You shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
20Tedae thingkung te a thaih aka om pawh thingkung la na ming atah na phae thai. Te vaengah na hum vetih nang taengah caem aka saii khopuei loh a tim hlandue tah vongsoel la na saii thai.
