28 “Joma moko duto ma gin, jodolo, jo-Lawi, jorit dhorangeye, jower, jotij hekalu, to gi jogo duto mane owalore koa kuom jogo mokiewo kodgi nikech Chik mar Nyasaye, kaachiel gi mondegi kod yawuotgi kod nyigi duto manyalo winjo tiend chike,

The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge, and understanding—

29 noriwore gi owetegi ma joka ruoth mi gikwongʼore giduto kendo negikwongʼore ni ginilu Chike Nyasaye, mane ochiwo kokalo kuom Musa jatichne kendo ginirit chike duto gi yore duto kod puonj mag Jehova Nyasaye Ruodhwa.

they joined with their brothers, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD, and his ordinances and his statutes;

30 “Wasingore ni ok wanachiw nyiwa mondo okendi gi jogo modak mokiewo kodwa to kata mana mondo yawuotwa okend nyigi.

and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;

31 “Ka jogo modak machiegni kodwa okelo gigegi mag ohala kata chambgi mondo giusi chiengʼ Sabato, ok wabi ngʼiewo kodgi chiengʼ Sabato kata e odiechiengʼ moro maler. E higa mar abiriyo ka mar abiriyo wabiro weyo tiyo e puodho kendo wabiro weyone ji gopegi duto.

and if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy of them on the Sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

32 “Higa ka higa wabiro kawo tingʼ mar kelo osuru madirom achiel kuom adek mar shekel ne tij od Nyasachwa,

Also we made ordinances for ourselves, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;

33 mibiro ngʼiewogo makati miketo e nyim Nyasaye pile, gi misango mar cham mitimo pile, gi misengini miwangʼo pep, kod misengini mamoko mitimo chiengʼ Sabato, kod mago mitimo ka dwe opor kod ndalo mag sewni moyier kendo ni tich misengini mamoko kod misengini mag golo richo jo-Israel kaachiel gi tije duto mag od Nyasachwa.

for the show bread, and for the continual meal offering, and for the continual burnt offering, for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

34 “Wan; jodolo, gi jo-Lawi kaachiel gi ji mamoko wasegoyo ombulu mondo wayier chiengʼ ma dala ka dala biro chiwoe yien miwangʼogo misengini ewi kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa e kinde moketi higa ka higa, mana kaka ondiki e Chik.

We cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed, year by year, to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law;

35 “Bende wachiwore mar kelo nyak mokwongo mar chambwa kod olemo moro amora higa ka higa e od Jehova Nyasaye.

and to bring the first fruits of our ground, and the first fruits of all fruit of all kinds of trees, year by year, to the house of the LORD;

36 “Wabiro kelo yawuotwa makayo kod dhowa gi rombwa mokwong nywol ni jodolo matiyo e od Nyasachwa mana kaka ondik e Chik.

also the firstborn of our sons, and of our livestock, as it is written in the law, and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God;

37 “Bende wabiro kelo e kar keno mar od Nyasaye gik machalo kaka; chiembwa mokwongo mar lowo, chiwo mar chambwa, olembe mar yiendwa duto kod divai manyien; chiembwa mokwongo mar lowo, chiwo mar chambwa, olembe mag yiendwa duto kod divai manyien gi mo ni jodolo. Kendo wabiro kelo achiel kuom apar mag chambwa ni jo-Lawi, nikech gin ema oyienigi choko achiel kuom apar e mier duto ma watiyoe.

and that we should bring the first fruits of our coarse meal, our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the new wine and the oil to the priests to the storerooms of the house of our God; and the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites take the tithes in all the cities where we work.

38 Jadolo moa e anywola Harun nyaka dhi gi jo-Lawi sa ma gikawo achiel kuom apar, to jo-Lawi nyaka kel achiel kuom apar mar achiel kuom aparno e kuonde keno mag od Nyasachwa.

The priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the rooms, into the treasure house.

39 Jo-Israel kaachiel gi jo-Lawi, nyaka kel chiwo margi mar cham, divai manyien kod mo nyaka e kar keno kama gigo mag kama ler mar lemo ikanoe kendo kama jodolo, jorit dhorangeye kod jower odakie. “Ok wanajwangʼ od Nyasachwa.”

For the children of Israel and the descendants of Levi shall bring the wave offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, to the rooms, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests who minister, and the gatekeepers, and the singers. We will not forsake the house of our God.
