2 And when ye are come neere vnto the battel, then the Priest shall come forth to speake vnto the people,

Galmun nalhun masang kahseuva, nalah uva thempupa chu mipi jouse masang lama namakai sah diu ahi.

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.

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.

Chuphat leh gal vaipoa pang hon mipi henga hitia hi asei diu ahi. Koiham inthah tungdoh a thenso louva koi? Nalah uva hitobang mihem chu auma ahileh, ama chu galmuna thiden jeng thei ahi. Athiden khah tah’a ahileh, a in chu mi dang dinga thensona um ding ahi.

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.

Lengpi lei laiya natonga lengpi thei tepkha lou koiham? Amapa jong chu inlama kile jeng thei ahi. Achuti louva ahileh galmuna thina ato jeng thei, alengpi lei jeng jong mi dang chan lo ding ahi.

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.

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.

Chule sepai vaihom natonga pang hon mipi henga hitia hi asei nah lai diu ahi. Meidoi, kichase um em? Aumleh in a kile hen, ajeh chu midang asuh meidoilo ding ahi, tia aseidiu ahi.

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.

10 When thou commest neere vnto a citie to fight against it, thou shalt offer it peace.

Chule khopi khat nabulhu konu leh, amasan hiche khopi chu ki champi din tem un.

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.

Hiche khopi chun natepnau ahin ngaiyuva, kelkotpi chu nahonpeh uva ahileh, na vaihomna noiyuva umdiu, nakinu bollea pang diu ahi.

12 But if it will make no peace with thee, but make war against thee, then shalt thou besiege it.

Ahinlah kicham ding gel louva kidoupi ding joh ageluva ahileh, khopi chu nabulu tei ding ahi.

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.

Chuteng Pakai, Pathen in hiche khopi chu nangho khut a ahin pehlut ding, na chemjam'uva pasal jouse natha diu ahi.

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.

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.

Nachen nauva kona gamlha tah a um khopi ho, hitia chu nabol sohkei diu ahi.

16 But of the cities of this people, which the Lord thy God shall giue thee to inherite, thou shalt saue no person aliue,

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,

Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in naseipeh bang uva, Hit mite, Amor mite, Canan mite, Periz mite, Hiv mite chule Jebus mite hijongleh abonchauva nasuh gam hel diu ahi.

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.

Chutileh hiche mite akona chu milim doi kisem thuhoa kona nakihei mang thei diu, amaho pathen semthua kona nakiven tup uva, nalhah lutlou diu ahi.

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)

Khopi khat bulu dinga phatsotpi naumkim tenguleh thingphung naphuh lou diu ahi. Aga neuvin, hinlah aphung phuh hih un, thingphung hochu nagalmiteu ahipoi.

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.
