28 The rest of the people, including the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and Temple servants, and everyone who had separated themselves from the people of the land to keep the Law of God, as well as their wives and all their sons and daughters who were old enough to understand,

٢٨ وَبَاقِي ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ وَٱلْبَوَّابِينَ وَٱلْمُغَنِّينَ وَٱلنَّثِينِيمَ، وَكُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱنْفَصَلُوا مِنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ، وَنِسَائِهِمْ وَبَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ، كُلِّ أَصْحَابِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ وَٱلْفَهْمِ،

29 joined the leaders in swearing an oath to follow the Law of God given through Moses the servant of God, to pay attention to and carry out all the commands of the Lord our God, his rules and regulations.

٢٩ لَصِقُوا بِإِخْوَتِهِمْ وَعُظَمَائِهِمْ وَدَخَلُوا فِي قَسَمٍ وَحِلْفٍ أَنْ يَسِيرُوا فِي شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي أُعْطِيَتْ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ ٱللهِ، وَأَنْ يَحْفَظُوا وَيَعْمَلُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ سَيِّدِنَا، وَأَحْكَامِهِ وَفَرَائِضِهِ،

30 “We promise not to allow our daughters to marry the people of the land, and not to allow our sons to marry their daughters.

٣٠ وَأَنْ لَا نُعْطِيَ بَنَاتِنَا لِشُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا نَأْخُذَ بَنَاتِهِمْ لِبَنِينَا.

31 When the people of the land bring goods and all kinds of food to sell on the holy Sabbath, we will not buy anything from them on the Sabbath or on other holy days. Every seventh year we will leave the land to rest, and we will cancel all debts.

٣١ وَشُعُوبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ بِٱلْبَضَائِعِ وَكُلِّ طَعَامِ يَوْمِ ٱلسَّبْتِ لِلْبَيْعِ، لَا نَأْخُذُ مِنْهُمْ فِي سَبْتٍ وَلَا فِي يَوْمٍ مُقَدَّسٍ، وَأَنْ نَتْرُكَ ٱلسَّنَةَ ٱلسَّابِعَةَ، وَٱلْمُطَالَبَةَ بِكُلِّ دَيْنٍ.

32 We accept the obligation to pay one third of a shekel for the operation of the Temple of God,

٣٢ وَأَقَمْنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا فَرَائِضَ: أَنْ نَجْعَلَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ثُلْثَ شَاقِلٍ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ لِخِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا،

33 for the showbread, for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings, for the Sabbath offerings, for the new moon and yearly festivals, for the holy offerings, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, in short all that takes place in the Temple of our God.

٣٣ لِخُبْزِ ٱلْوُجُوهِ وَٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ وَٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ وَٱلسُّبُوتِ وَٱلْأَهِلَّةِ وَٱلْمَوَاسِمِ وَٱلْأَقْدَاسِ وَذَبَائِحِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِكُلِّ عَمَلِ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا.

34 We have allocated by lot among the priests, Levites, and the people, to determine who will bring wood to the Temple of our God to burn on the altar of the Lord our God at specific times during the year, as required by the Law.

٣٤ وَأَلْقَيْنَا قُرَعًا عَلَى قُرْبَانِ ٱلْحَطَبِ بَيْنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ وَٱلشَّعْبِ، لِإِدْخَالِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِنَا، فِي أَوْقَاتٍ مُعَيَّنَةٍ سَنَةً فَسَنَةً، لِأَجْلِ إِحْرَاقِهِ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ،

35 We also promise to bring the first part of the produce from our fields and from every fruit tree to the Lord's Temple every year.

٣٥ وَلِإِدْخَالِ بَاكُورَاتِ أَرْضِنَا، وَبَاكُورَاتِ ثَمَرِ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ سَنَةً فَسَنَةً إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،

36 We will bring the firstborn of our sons and of our livestock and of our herds and flocks to the Temple of our God, to the priests who minister there, as required by the Law.

٣٦ وَأَبْكَارِ بَنِينَا وَبَهَائِمِنَا، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ، وَأَبْكَارِ بَقَرِنَا وَغَنَمِنَا لِإِحْضَارِهَا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا، إِلَى ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلْخَادِمِينَ فِي بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا.

37 We will bring to the storerooms of the Temple of our God, to the priests, the first part of our coarse-ground flour, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees, and of our new wine and olive oil. We will also bring a tithe of our produce to the Levites, for the Levites are the ones who collect the tithes in all the farming towns.

٣٧ وَأَنْ نَأْتِيَ بِأَوَائِلِ عَجِينِنَا وَرَفَائِعِنَا وَأَثْمَارِ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلزَّيْتِ إِلَى ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، إِلَى مَخَادِعِ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا، وَبِعُشْرِ أَرْضِنَا إِلَى ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ، وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُعَشِّرُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ فَلَاحَتِنَا.

38 A priest descended from Aaron will accompany the Levites when they collect the tithe, and the Levites are to bring a tithe of these tithes to the rooms of the storehouse in the Temple of our God.

٣٨ وَيَكُونُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱبْنُ هَارُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ حِينَ يُعَشِّرُ ٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ، وَيُصْعِدُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ عُشْرَ ٱلْأَعْشَارِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا، إِلَى ٱلْمَخَادِعِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْخَزِينَةِ.

39 The people of Israel and the Levites are to bring the offerings of grain, new wine, and olive oil to the storerooms where the sanctuary objects are kept, where the ministering priests, the gatekeepers, and the singers are. We will not forget the Temple of our God.”

٣٩ لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي لَاوِي يَأْتُونَ بِرَفِيعَةِ ٱلْقَمْحِ وَٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلزَّيْتِ إِلَى ٱلْمَخَادِعِ، وَهُنَاكَ آنِيَةُ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلْخَادِمُونَ وَٱلْبَوَّابُونَ وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ، وَلَا نَتْرُكُ بَيْتَ إِلَهِنَا.
