28 Pilnam kah a coih rhoek, khosoih rhoek, Levi rhoek, thoh tawt rhoek, laa sa rhoek, tamtaeng rhoek, khohmuen pilnam lamloh aka hoep boeih, a yuu rhoek, a capa rhoek, a canu rhoek long khaw aka yakming boeih long tah Pathen olkhueng te a ming uh.

And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the door-keepers, the music-makers, the Nethinim, and all those who had made themselves separate from the peoples of the lands, to keep the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and wisdom;

29 Amih a khuet rhoek te a boeinaphung ah moem uh thae tih, Pathen kah sal Moses kut ah a paek Pathen kah olkhueng dongah pongpa ham khaw, ka Boeipa Yahweh kah olpaek boeih, a laitloeknah neh a oltlueh te ngaithuen ham neh vai ham khaw, olcaeng neh, olhlo neh pawk uh.

They were united with their brothers, their rulers, and put themselves under a curse and an oath, to keep their steps in the way of God's law, which was given by Moses, the servant of God, and to keep and do all the orders of the Lord, our Lord, and his decisions and his rules;

30 Kaimih nu rhoek te khohmuen pilnam taengah ka paek pawt ham khaw. Amih nu te khaw kaimih ca rhoek ham loh pah pawt ham khaw.

And that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the lands, or take their daughters for our sons;

31 Khohmuen pilnam kah hnoyoih hang khuen khaw, Sabbath hnin kah a yoih ham cangtham boeih khaw, Sabbath neh a cim khohnin ah tah amih taengkah te lo uh pawt ham. Kum rhih nen tah kut tom kah a casai te yoe sak uh eh.

And if the peoples of the lands come to do trade in goods or food on the Sabbath day, that we would do no trade with them on the Sabbath or on a holy day: and that in the seventh year we would take no payment from any debtor.

32 Kaimih Pathen im kah thothuengnah ham kaimih kah te kum khat ah shekel hlop thum paek ham olpaek te,

And we made rules for ourselves, taxing ourselves a third of a shekel every year for the upkeep of the house of our God;

33 Rhungkung buh neh sainoek khocang ham khaw, hlasae Sabbath kah sainoek hmueihhlutnah ham khaw, khoning ham neh hmuencim ham khaw, Israel ham tholh aka dawth boirhaem ham khaw, kaimih Pathen im kah bitat cungkuem ham khaw kaimih soah ka pai puei eh.

For the holy bread, and for the regular meal offering and the regular burned offering on the Sabbaths and at the new moon and the fixed feasts, and for the sin-offerings to take away the sin of Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

34 Olkhueng dongkah a daek bangla kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA hmueihtuk dongah a toih ham te, a kum, kum kah a tue a hol vaengah, a pa imkhui loh kaimih Pathen im la, Levi khosoih neh pilnam kah nawnnah thing thak ham khaw,

And we, the priests and the Levites and the people, made selection, by the decision of the Lord, of those who were to take the wood offering into the house of God, by families at the regular times, year by year, to be burned on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is recorded in the law;

35 Maimih kah khohmuen thaihcuek, thaih boeih khuikah thaihcuek, thing boeih te a kum, kum ah BOEIPA im la khuen ham khaw,

And to take the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of every sort of tree, year by year, into the house of the Lord;

36 Olkhueng dongkah a daek bangla kaimih kah capa neh rhamsa caming, ka saelhung neh ka boiva cacuek khaw kaimih kah Pathen im ah kaimih Pathen im kah aka thotat khosoih rhoek taengla khuen ham,

As well as the first of our sons and of our cattle, as it is recorded in the law, and the first lambs of our herds and of our flocks, which are to be taken to the house of our God, to the priests who are servants in the house of our God:

37 kaimih kah buhhuem neh ka khosaa tanglue khaw, thing cungkuem kah a thaih khaw, misur thai neh situi khaw, Pathen im kah imkhan ah khosoih taengla, amih Levi rhoek tah kho takuem ah kaimih kah thohtatnah lamloh a duen dongah kaimih khohmuen kah parha pakhat te Levi taengla thak ham hmulung ka naan uh.

And that we would take the first of our rough meal, and our lifted offerings, and the fruit of every sort of tree, and wine and oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tenth of the produce of our land to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take a tenth in all the towns of our ploughed land.

38 Levi rhoek loh a duen vaegah Aaron koca khosoih rhoek te Levi taengah om kuekluek saeh. Parha pakhat dongkah parha pakhat te Levi rhoek loh kaimih Pathen im ah thakvoh im kah imkhan khuila thak uh saeh.

And the priest, the son of Aaron, is to be with the Levites, when the Levites take the tenths: and the Levites are to take a tenth of the tenths into the house of our God, to the rooms, into the store-house;

39 Israel ca rhoek neh Levi ca rhoek loh cangpai khocang khaw, misur thai neh situi khaw imkhan khuila thak uh saeh. Teah te rhokso kah hnopai neh aka thotat khosoih rhoek khaw, thoh tawt rhoek khaw, laa sa rhoek khaw a om dongah kaimih kah Pathen im te ka hnoo uh mahpawh.

For the children of Israel and the children of Levi are to take the lifted offering of the grain and wine and oil into the rooms where the vessels of the holy place are, together with the priests and the door-keepers and the makers of music: and we will not give up caring for the house of our God.
