28 And the rest of the people were the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, and the singers, the temple servants, and all who had separated themselves, from the peoples of the lands, to the law of God, with their wives, their sons, and their daughters.
Kami, rakyat Israel, para imam orang-orang Lewi, para penjaga gerbang Rumah TUHAN, para pemain musik dan para pekerja di Rumah TUHAN, juga istri dan anak-anak kami yang cukup dewasa untuk mengerti serta semua orang yang taat kepada hukum Allah dan telah memisahkan diri dari orang asing yang tinggal di negeri kami.
29 All who were able to understand, pledged on behalf of their brothers, with their nobles, and they came forward to promise and to swear that they would walk in the law of God, which he had given to the hand of Moses, the servant of God, that they would do and keep all the commandments of the Lord our God, and his judgments and his ceremonies,
Kami semua menggabungkan diri dengan para pemimpin kami dan bersumpah untuk hidup menurut hukum Allah yang telah diberikan-Nya dengan perantaraan Musa, hamba-Nya. Semoga Allah mengutuk kami kalau kami tidak menepati perjanjian ini. Kami bersumpah akan mematuhi segala perintah, hukum dan peraturan TUHAN, Allah kami.
30 and that we would not give our daughters to the people of the land, and that we would not accept their daughters for our sons,
Kami bersumpah untuk tidak kawin campur dengan bangsa-bangsa asing yang tinggal di negeri kami.
31 also that, if the people of the land carry in goods for sale or any useful things, so that they might sell them on the day of the Sabbath, that we would not buy them on the Sabbath, nor on a sanctified day, and that we would release the seventh year and the collection of debt from every hand.
Bilamana ada bangsa asing yang mau menjual gandum atau barang apapun kepada kami pada hari Sabat atau hari suci lainnya, kami tidak akan membelinya. Pada setiap tahun yang ketujuh, kami tidak akan mengerjakan ladang dan tidak akan menagih hutang.
32 And we established precepts over ourselves, so that we would give one third part of a shekel each year for the work of the house of our God,
Setiap tahun kami masing-masing akan menyumbang lima gram perak untuk anggaran belanja Rumah TUHAN.
33 for the bread of the presence, and for the continual sacrifice, and for a continual holocaust on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, on the solemnities, and for the holy things, and for the sin offering, so that atonement would be made for Israel, and for every use within the house of our God.
Kami akan menyediakan keperluan-keperluan ibadat di Rumah TUHAN, yaitu: roti sajian, persembahan gandum harian, binatang untuk kurban bakaran harian, persembahan suci yang lain, kurban-kurban pengampunan dosa Israel, dan segala apa yang diperlukan untuk Rumah TUHAN.
34 Then we cast lots concerning the oblation of the wood among the priests, and the Levites, and the people, so that it would be carried into the house of our God, by the households of our fathers, at set times, from the times of one year to another, so that they might burn upon the altar of the Lord our God, just as it was written in the law of Moses,
Kami, rakyat, para imam dan orang-orang Lewi, akan membuang undi setiap tahun untuk menentukan kaum mana yang harus menyediakan kayu bakar untuk kurban-kurban persembahan kepada TUHAN Allah kami, menurut peraturan Hukum.
35 and so that we might bring in the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of all the produce from every tree, from year to year, in the house of our Lord,
Setiap tahun kami akan membawa ke Rumah TUHAN hasil gandum yang pertama dan buah-buahan yang mula-mula masak pada pohon-pohon kami.
36 and the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, just as it was written in the law, and the firstborn of our oxen and our sheep, so that they might be offered in the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God,
Kami akan membawa anak laki-laki kami yang sulung kepada para imam di Rumah TUHAN untuk menyerahkannya kepada Allah, sesuai dengan peraturan Hukum. Kami akan menyerahkan juga anak sapi, anak domba atau anak kambing kami yang pertama lahir.
37 and so that we might bring in the first-fruits of our foods, and of our libations, and the fruits of every tree, also of the vintage and of the oil, to the priests, to the storehouse of our God, with the tithes of our land for the Levites. The Levites also shall receive tithes from our works out of all the cities.
Kami akan membawa kepada para imam di Rumah TUHAN adonan dari gandum yang pertama dipetik setiap tahun, juga persembahan-persembahan lain berupa anggur, minyak zaitun dan segala macam buah-buahan. Persembahan persepuluhan dari hasil ladang kami akan kami bawa kepada orang-orang Lewi yang memungut persembahan-persembahan persepuluhan di kota-kota pertanian.
38 Now the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites in the tithes of the Levites, and the Levites shall offer a tenth part of their tithes in the house of our God, to the storeroom in the house of the treasury.
Tetapi seorang imam keturunan Harun harus mendampingi orang-orang Lewi itu bilamana mereka memungut persembahan-persembahan itu. Dan sepersepuluh dari semua persembahan itu harus dibawa oleh orang-orang Lewi itu ke kamar-kamar perbekalan di Rumah TUHAN.
39 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi shall carry to the storehouse the first-fruits of the grain, of the wine, and of the oil. And the sanctified vessels shall be there, and the priests, and the singing men, and the gatekeepers, and the ministers. And we shall not forsake the house of our God.
Rakyat Israel dan orang-orang Lewi harus membawa sumbangan tetap berupa gandum, anggur dan minyak zaitun ke kamar-kamar perbekalan tempat menyimpan alat-alat Rumah TUHAN. Di situ pula tempat tinggal para imam yang sedang bertugas, para penjaga gerbang Rumah TUHAN dan para penyanyi. Kami tidak akan lalai merawat Rumah TUHAN kami.
