“The rest of the people—the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, temple servants, and all who had separated themselves from the people of the land to obey the Law of God—along with their wives and all their sons and daughters who are able to understand,
29 nihcae loe angmacae ih nawkamyanawk, angraengnawk khaeah akanh o moe, Sithaw ih tamna Mosi khaeah paek ih Sithaw ih kaalok baktiah ka caeh o han, tiah lokkam o, kaicae Angraeng Sithaw lokcaekhaih, zaehhoihhaih daan hoi lokpaekhaihnawk boih ka sak o han, tiah lokkamhaih a sak o.
hereby join with their noble brothers and commit themselves with a sworn oath to follow the Law of God given through His servant Moses and to carefully obey all the commandments, ordinances, and statutes of the LORD our Lord.
30 Nihcae mah ka canunawk hae ataeng ah kaom prae kaminawk hanah ka paek o mak ai, prae kaminawk ih canunawk doeh ka capanawk ih zu ah ka la pae o mak ai, tiah lokkkamhaih a sak o.
We will not give our daughters in marriage to the people of the land, and we will not take their daughters for our sons.
31 Prae kaminawk mah Sabbath niah hmuenmae hoi canghumnawk zaw o cadoeh, Sabbath hoi ciimcai niah loe ka qan o mak ai; saning sarihto kruek lawk toksah ai ah ka oh o moe, laibanawk boih ka tahmen pae o han, tiah lok takroekhaih a sak o.
When the people of the land bring merchandise or any kind of grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we will not buy from them on a Sabbath or holy day. Every seventh year we will let the fields lie fallow, and will cancel every debt.
32 Aicae Sithaw im sak haih hanah, saning kruek shekel thumto thungah maeto ka paek o han, tiah lok takroekhaih ka sak o;
We also place ourselves under the obligation to contribute a third of a shekel yearly for the service of the house of our God:
33 Sabbath ni hoi khrah kangtha ah, caboi nuiah takaw patoem moe, apet ai ah canghum to paek han ih, apet ai ah angbawnhaih sak han ih, poihsakhaih, kaciim hmuenpaekhaih, Israel kaminawk zae angbawnhaih to sak moe, aicae ih Sithaw im ah toksak kangaih hmuennawk boih to sak hanah lok takroekhaih ka sak o.
for the showbread, for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings, for the Sabbath offerings, for the New Moons and appointed feasts, for the holy offerings, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the duties of the house of our God.
34 Kaalok thungah tarik ih baktih toengah, imthung takoh boih mah, saning kruek atue phak naah, aicae Angraeng Sithaw ih hmaicam nuiah, hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah, aimacae Sithaw ih im ah thing sin o hanah, qaimanawk, Levinawk hoi kaminawk salakah taham khethaih phoisa to ka vah o.
We have cast lots among the priests, Levites, and people for the donation of wood by our families at the appointed times each year. They are to bring it to the house of our God to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the Law.
35 Saning kruek Angraeng im ah, long hoi tacawt tangsuek thingthai, thingkung pong ih kathai tangsuek thingthai to sin hanah lok ka takroek o.
We will also bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the house of the LORD year by year.
36 Kaalok pongah tarik ih baktih toengah, tapen tangsuek calu, tapen tangsuek tuucaa hoi maitaw caanawk loe, qaimanawk mah toksak o haih hanah, aimacae ih Sithaw im ah ka sinh o han;
And we will bring the firstborn of our sons and our livestock, as it is written in the Law, and will bring the firstborn of our herds and flocks to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God.
37 to pacoengah sak tangsuek ih takaw, hmuen tathlanghaih, thingthai congca, misurtui hoi situi doeh, aimacae Sithaw im ih hmuenmae suekhaih ahmuen ah, qaimanawk khaeah ka sin o han; lawk toksah kaminawk ohhaih avang boih ah Levinawk mah hato thungah maeto cong o pongah, lawk thung hoi tacawt thingthai qumpo hato thungah maeto Levinawk khaeah ka sin o han, tiah lok takroekhaih a sak o.
Moreover, we will bring to the priests at the storerooms of the house of our God the firstfruits of our dough, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees, and of our new wine and oil. A tenth of our produce belongs to the Levites, so that they shall receive tithes in all the towns where we labor.
38 Levinawk mah hato thungah maeto lak o naah, to ah Aaron ih acaeng qaima maeto oh han angaih; Levinawk mah doeh aimacae Sithaw im ih hmuenmae patunghaih ahmuen ah hato thungah maeto sin o toeng tih.
A priest of Aaron’s line is to accompany the Levites when they collect the tenth, and the Levites are to bring a tenth of these tithes to the storerooms of the treasury in the house of our God.
39 Israel caanawk hoi Levinawk loe canghum, misurtui, situinawk to, qaimanawk toksakhaih, khongkha toep kaminawk ohhaih, laasah kaminawk ohhaih, kaciim hmuenmae suekhaih ahmuen ah sin o tih. Kaicae ih Sithaw im to ka pahnawt o sut mak ai.
For the Israelites and the Levites are to bring the contributions of grain, new wine, and oil to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are kept and where the ministering priests, the gatekeepers, and the singers stay. Thus we will not neglect the house of our God.”
