28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nathinim, and every one who drew off from the nations of the land to the law of God, their wives, their sons, their daughters, every one who had knowledge and understanding,
“Nnipa no nkaeɛ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ, aponoanohwɛfoɔ, nnwomtofoɔ, Asɔredan mu asomfoɔ ne wɔn a wɔatwe wɔn ho afiri abosonsomfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛsom Onyankopɔn, na wɔanyinyini a wɔte asɛm ase no,
29 were urgent with their brethren, and bound them under a curse, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which was given by the hand of Moses, the servant of God; to keep and to do all the commandments of the Lord, and his judgements, and his ordinances;
wɔn nyinaa firi akoma pa mu kaa ntam, de kyekyeree wɔn ho. Wɔkaa ntam dii nse sɛ, sɛ wɔbu Onyankopɔn mmara a ɔnam ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose so de abrɛ wɔn no so a, nnome biara a Onyankopɔn de bɛba wɔn so no, wɔpene so.

30 and that we will not, [they said, ]give our daughters to the people of the land, nor will we take their daughters to our sons.
“Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛremma yɛn mmammaa nware abosonsomfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so, na saa ara nso na yɛremma yɛn mmammarima nso nware wɔn mmammaa.
31 And [as for] the people of the land who bring wares and all [manner of] merchandise to sell on the sabbath-day, we [will] not buy of them on the sabbath or on the holy day: and we will leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
“Yɛsane hyɛ bɔ sɛ, sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so de adwadeɛ anaa atokoɔ ba bɛtɔn no homeda anaa ɛda kronkron bi a, yɛrentɔ bi. Na yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛrenyɛ adwuma biara mfeɛ nson a ɛbɛba biara mu, na ɛka biara a Yudafoɔ afoforɔ bi de yɛn no, yɛbɛtwam.
32 And we will impose ordinances upon ourselves, to levy on ourselves the third part of a didrachm yearly for the service of the house of our God;
“Deɛ ɛka ho ne sɛ, yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛbɛtua Asɔredan afirinhyia toɔ a wɔahyɛ yɛn sɛ yɛntua a ɛyɛ dwetɛ gram ɛnan, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma wɔanya sika bebree de abɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho bra.
33 the show bread, and the continual meat-offering, and for the continual whole burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moon, for the feast, and for the holy things, and the sin-offerings, to make atonement for Israel, and for the works of the house of our God.
Yei bɛboa ama yɛanya Hyiadan mu Burodo no, na yɛatumi abɔ atokoɔ ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ berɛ ano berɛ ano, abɔ homeda afɔdeɛ hodoɔ, adi ɔbosome foforɔ afahyɛ ahodoɔ ne dapɔnna ahodoɔ no.

34 And we cast lots for the office of wood-bearing, [we] the priests, and the Levites, and the people, to bring [wood] into the house of our God, according to the house of our families, at certain set times, year by year, to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law:
“Yɛabɔ ntonto hodoɔ, ahunu afe biara mu mmerɛ a ɛfata sɛ asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne ɔmanfoɔ no abusuafoɔ de nnyensin ba Onyankopɔn asɔredan ho na wɔhye no Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia so, sɛdeɛ mmara no kyerɛ no.
35 and to bring the first fruits of our land, and the first fruits of the fruit of every tree, year by year, into the house of the Lord:
“Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, daa yɛde otwakane biara mu kyɛfa bi, sɛ ɛyɛ asaseduane anaa aduaba a ɛfiri nnua so bɛba Awurade Asɔredan mu.
36 the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, 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, for the priests that minister in the house of our God.
“Yɛpene so sɛ, yɛde yɛn mmammarima a wɔyɛ abakan ne yɛn anantwie ne yɛn nnwan mmakan bɛma Onyankopɔn, sɛdeɛ mmara no kyerɛ no. Yɛde wɔn bɛma asɔfoɔ a wɔsom wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu no.
37 And the first fruits of our corn, and the fruit of every tree, of wine, and of oil, will we bring to the priests to the treasury of the house of God; and a tithe of our land to the Levites: for the Levites themselves shall receive tithes in all the cities of the land we cultivate.
“Yɛbɛkora mfudeɛ no nyinaa wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan adekoradan mu. Yɛde yɛn asikyiresiam a ɛyɛ pa ara ne atokoɔ nkaeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ, yɛn nnuaba papa ne yɛn nsã foforɔ papa ne ngo bɛba.

38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites in the tithe of the Levite: and the Levites shall bring up the tenth part of [their] tithe to the house of our God, into the treasuries of the house of God.
Ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔyɛ Aaron aseni bɛka Lewifoɔ no ho wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔregyegye ntotosoɔ dudu no. Na biribiara a wɔbɛgye sɛ ntotosoɔ dudu no, Lewifoɔ de mu nkyɛmu edu mu baako bɛkɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu, na wɔde akɔsisi adekoradan no mu.
39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring into the treasuries the first fruits of the corn, and wine, and oil; and there [are] the holy vessels, and the priests, and the ministers, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔmanfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no de afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ atokoɔ, nsã foforɔ ne ngo no bɛgu adekoradeɛ kronkron a ɛbɛn asɔfoɔ a wɔresom no, aponoanohwɛfoɔ ne nnwomtofoɔ no wɔ Asɔredan no mu. “Enti, yɛbɔ mu hyɛ bɔ sɛ yɛrentoto yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ase.”
