28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the doorkeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all they that had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters, every one having knowledge [and] having understanding,
其餘的民眾、司祭、肋未人、門丁、歌詠者、獻身者,和所有脫離各地人民而來歸奉天主法律的人,連同他們的妻子兒女,及凡有知識能懂事的人,
29 joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which had been given by Moses the servant of God, and to keep and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;
都支持他們為首領的同胞,起咒宣示,必按天主的法律去行,就是遵行天主的僕人梅瑟所頒佈的法律,並遵守履行上主我們的天主的一切命令、規矩和制度;
30 and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
決不將我們的女兒嫁給外方人民,也不為我們的兒子娶他們的女兒。
31 and that if the peoples of the land brought wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, we would not take it of them on the sabbath, or on [any] holy day; and that we would leave [the land uncultivated] the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
外方人民若是在安息日,運貨物或各種食糧來販賣,我們在安息日或聖日,決不向他們購買什麼;每七年停止耕種,豁免一切債務。
32 And we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God,
我們又為自己定下規矩,每年要繳納三分之一「協刻耳,」作為我們天主殿中祭祀之用:
33 for the bread to be set in rows, and for the continual oblation, and for the continual burnt-offering, [for that] of the sabbaths [and] of the new moons, for the set feasts and for the holy [things], and for the sin-offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and [for] all the work of the house of our God.
備辦供餅、恆常祭品、全燔祭品,安息日、月朔和慶節應獻的祭品和各種祭物,為以色列贖罪的贖罪祭品,以及我們天主殿內的一切工作費用。
34 And we cast the lots among 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 upon the altar of Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law;
我們司祭、肋未人和人民,拈鬮規定,按照家族,每年照一定的時間,我們天主的聖殿獻納木柴,放在上主我們的天主的祭壇上燃燒,如法律上所記載的;
35 and to bring the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year to the house of Jehovah,
又當把田地的初熟之物,以及各種樹木的初熟鮮果,每年獻於上主聖殿;
36 and the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, as it is written in the law; and to bring the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests that minister in the house of our God;
按照法律所載,將我們的兒子和家畜中的首生者,以及我們牛羊中的首生者,獻於我們天主的聖殿,交給我們在天主殿內奉職的司祭;
37 and that we should bring the first-fruits of our coarse meal and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, new wine and oil, to the priests, into the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that they, the Levites, should take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
把我們初熟的粗麵餅、祭品、各種樹木的果實、新酒和油,交給司祭,送到我們天主聖殿的廊房裏;將我們田地出產的十分之一,送給肋未人,肋未人應親自在各城鎮,徵收我們勞作的十分之一。
38 And 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, into the chambers of the treasure-house.
當肋未人徵收十分之一時,亞郎子孫中的一個司祭,應與肋未人在一起;肋未人應將所得什一中的十分之一,獻於我們的天主聖殿,交入聖殿廊房的寶庫,
39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the new wine and the oil, into the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the doorkeepers and the singers. And we will not forsake the house of our God.
因為以色列子民和肋未的子孫,應把所獻的五穀、酒和油,送到廊房內,聖所的器具存在那裏,奉職的司祭,守門者和歌詠者也住在那裏,對們天主的聖殿,再也不敢怠慢。
