“Andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩo athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii, na aikaria a ihingo, na aini, o na ndungata cia hekarũ na arĩa othe meyamũranĩtie na andũ arĩa maariganĩtie nao nĩguo maathĩkĩre Watho wa Ngai, marĩ hamwe na atumia ao, na aanake, na airĩtu ao othe arĩa mangĩhota gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ maũndũ,
29 All that could understand promising for their brethren, with their chief men, and they came to promise, and swear that they would walk in the law of God, which he gave in 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.
andũ aya othe maanyiitana na ariũ a ithe wao arĩa marĩ igweta, na meeohe na kĩrumi na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩmarĩrũmagĩrĩra Watho wa Ngai ũrĩa waheirwo Musa ndungata ya Ngai, na mamenyagĩrĩre gwathĩkĩra maathani mothe, na mawatho, na kĩrĩra gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩa Jehova Mwathani witũ.
30 And that we would not give our daughters to the people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons.
“Tweranĩra atĩ tũtikaheana airĩtu aitũ mahikio nĩ andũ arĩa matũrigiicĩirie o na kana aanake aitũ mahikie airĩtu ao.
31 And if the people of the land bring in things to sell, or any things for use, to sell them on the sabbath day, that we would not buy them of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day. And that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every hand.
“Rĩrĩa andũ a mabũrũri marĩa tũriganĩtie marĩrehaga indo na ngano ya kwendia mũthenya wa Thabatũ, tũtikamagũrĩra mũthenya ũcio wa Thabatũ o na kana mũthenya ũngĩ o wothe mwamũre. O mwaka wa mũgwanja wakinya tũtirĩrĩmaga mĩgũnda iitũ, na nĩtũrĩĩrekanagĩra mathiirĩ mothe.
32 And we made ordinances for ourselves, to give the third part of a side every year for the work of the house of our God,
“Nĩtuoya mũrigo wa kũhingia mawatho ma kũheanaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ gĩa cekeri o mwaka nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ:
33 For the leaves of proposition, and for the continual sacrifice, and for a continual holocaust on the sabbaths, on the new moons, on the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offering: that atonement might be made for Israel, and for every use of the house of our God.
nĩ ũndũ wa mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩigagwo metha-inĩ; nĩ ũndũ wa mahinda ma maruta ma mũtu na ma njino; na nĩ ũndũ wa maruta marĩa marutagwo mũthenya wa Thabatũ, na wa ciathĩ cia Karũgamo ka Mweri, na wa ciathĩ iria ciathanĩtwo; nĩ ũndũ wa maruta marĩa maamũre; nĩ ũndũ wa maruta ma kũhoroheria mehia ma Isiraeli; o na nĩ ũndũ wa mawĩra mothe ma nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
34 And we cast lots among the priests, and the Levites, and the people for the offering of wood, that it might be brought into the house of our God by the houses of our fathers at set times, from year to year: to burn upon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law of Moses:
“Ithuĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii o na andũ aya angĩ nĩtũcuukĩte mĩtĩ tũgatuanĩra rĩrĩa o nyũmba iitũ ĩrĩĩrehaga ngũ nyũmba-inĩ ya Ngai witũ, cia gũikaragia mwaki wakanĩte kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova Ngai witũ mahinda marĩa matuanĩirwo o mwaka, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ.
35 And that we would bring the first fruits of our land, and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, from year to year, in the house of our Lord.
“O na nĩtuoya mũrigo wa kũrehaga maciaro ma mbere ma mĩgũnda iitũ na ma mũtĩ o wothe wa matunda nyũmba-inĩ ya Jehova o mwaka.
36 And the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our oxen, and of our sheep, to be offered in the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God.
“O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ, nĩtũrĩĩrehaga marigithathi maitũ ma aanake, na ma ngʼombe, na ma ndũũru cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri ciitũ gũkũ nyũmba-inĩ ya Ngai witũ kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa matungataga kuo.
37 And that we would bring the firstfruits of our meats, and of our libations, and the fruit of every tree, of the vintage also and of oil to the priests, to the storehouse of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites. The Levites also shall receive the tithes of our works out of all the cities.
“O na ningĩ nĩtũrĩĩrehaga thĩinĩ wa makũmbĩ ma nyũmba ya Ngai, tũnengere athĩnjĩri-Ngai mũtu wa mbere, na magongona maitũ ma ngano ma mbere, na maruta ma matunda ma mĩtĩ iitũ yothe ma mbere, na ma ndibei iitũ ya mũhihano o na ma maguta. O na nĩtũrĩĩrehaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa maciaro ma mĩgũnda iitũ, tũkanengera Alawii, nĩgũkorwo nĩ Alawii maamũkagĩra icunjĩ cia ikũmi kuuma matũũra mothe kũrĩa tũrutaga wĩra.
38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites in the tithes of the Levites, and the Levites shall offer the tithe of their tithes in the house of our God, to the storeroom into the treasure house.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai wa rũciaro rwa Harũni nĩarĩkoragwo ho Alawii makĩamũkĩra gĩcunjĩ kĩu gĩa ikũmi, nao Alawii nĩmarĩĩrehaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe makũmbĩ-inĩ ma kĩgĩĩna kĩa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall carry to the treasury the firstfruits of corn, of wine, and of oil: and the sanctified vessels shall be there, and the priests, and the singing men, and the porters, and ministers, and we will not forsake the house of our God.
Andũ a Isiraeli, hamwe na Alawii, nĩmarĩĩrehaga maruta mao ma ngano, na ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta thĩinĩ wa makũmbĩ marĩa indo cia handũ-harĩa-haamũre ciigagwo, na kũrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maratungata, na aikaria a ihingo, na aini maikaraga. “Tũtirĩrekagĩrĩria nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.”
