28 “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,
“Namoonni hafan kaan jechuunis luboonni, Lewwonni, eegdonni karraa, faarfattoonni, tajaajiltoonni mana qulqullummaatii fi warri Seera Waaqaatiif jedhanii saboota ollaa irraa kophaa of baasan hundinuu niitota isaanii, ilmaanii fi intallan isaanii kanneen waa hubachuu dandaʼan hunda wajjin
29 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.
obboloota isaanii bebeekamootti dabalamanii akka Seera Waaqaa kan karaa Musee garbicha Waaqaa sanaatiin kenname sana eeganiif ajaja, seeraa fi labsii Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenyaa hundaaf ajajamaniif abaarsaa fi kakuudhaan waadaa galan.
30 We will not give our daughters in marriage to the people of the land, and we will not take their daughters for our sons.
“Nu akka warra naannoo keenya jiraatanitti intallan keenya hin heerumsiifne yookaan akka ilmaan keenya illee intallan isaanii hin fuusifne waadaa galla.
31 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.
“Yoo saboonni ollaa keenya jiraatan miʼa daldalaa yookaan midhaan gurguraa guyyaa Sanbataatiin fidan nu guyyaa Sanbataatiin yookaan guyyaa qulqulluu kamiin iyyuu isaan irraa hin bitannu. Waggaa torbaffaa kam iyyuu lafa qotiisaa boqochiifnee idaa hunda namaaf ni dhiifna.
32 We also place ourselves under the obligation to contribute a third of a shekel yearly for the service of the house of our God:
“Akka waggaa hunda tajaajila mana Waaqa keenyaatiif jennee saqilii argannu harka sadii keessaa harka tokko kenninu itti gaafatamummaa ni fudhanna;
33 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.
kunis buddeena minjaala irratti dhiʼeeffamuuf, kennaa midhaaniitii fi aarsaa gubamu kan yeroo yerootti dhiʼeeffamuuf, aarsaa guyyaa Sanbataatiif, kan ayyaana Baatii Haaraatii fi kan ayyaanota bebeekamoo, aarsaawwan qulqullaaʼoodhaaf, aarsaawwan cubbuu kanneen Israaʼeliif araara buusuuf dhiʼeeffamaniif, akkasumas hojiiwwan mana Waaqa keenyaa keessaa hundaafii dha.
34 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.
“Nu, luboonni, Lewwonnii fi sabni yeroo itti tokkoon tokkoon maatiiwwan keenyaa akkuma Seera keessatti barreeffametti waggaa hunda keessaa yeroo murteeffametti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa irratti bobeessuuf kennaa qoraanii gara mana Waaqa keenyaa fiduu qabnu beekuuf ixaa buufanneerra.
35 We will also bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the house of the LORD year by year.
“Akkasumas nu mataa midhaan keenyaatii fi mataa muka ija kennuu hunda waggaa waggaadhaan gara mana Waaqayyoo fiduuf itti gaafatama fudhanneerra.
36 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.
“Akkuma Seera keessatti barreeffametti hangafa ilmaan keenyaatii fi hangafa loon keenyaa, hangafa horii keenyaatii fi hangafa bushaayee keenyaa gara mana Waaqa keenyaa, luboota achi keessa tajaajilanitti ni geessina.
37 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.
“Kana malees nu daakuu keenya kan bukeeffame irraa, kennaawwan midhaan keenyaa irraa, ija mukkeen keenyaa hunda irraa, daadhii wayinii keenyaa haaraa fi zayitii irraa mataa fuunee gara mankuusaalee mana Waaqa keenyaa lubootatti geessina. Amma illee sababii warri harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko walitti qaban Lewwota taʼaniif magaalaawwan keessa hojjennu hunda keessaa oomisha midhaan keenyaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko Lewwotatti geessina.
38 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.
Yeroo Lewwonni kennaa harka kudhan keessaa tokko walitti qabanitti lubni sanyii Aroon keessaa dhalate tokko isaan wajjin jiraachuu qaba; ergasii Lewwonni kennaa walitti qaban sana keessaa harka kudhan keessaa tokko gara mana Waaqa keenyaa, gara mankuusaa qabeenyaatti fiduu qabu.
39 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.”
Sabni Israaʼelii fi ilmaan Lewwii kennaa midhaanii, kan daadhii wayinii haaraa fi kan zayitii gara mankuusaalee miʼi mana qulqullummaa kaaʼamu, iddoo luboonni tajaajilan, eegdonni karraa fi faarfattoonni taaʼanitti fiduu qabu. “Nus mana Waaqa keenyaa hin dagannu.”
