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 أَمَّا بَاقِي الشَّعْبِ وَالْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَحُرَّاسِ أَبْوَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالْمُرَتِّلِينَ وَخُدَّامِ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَكُلِّ الَّذِينَ اعْتَزَلُوا شُعُوبَ الأَرَاضِي وَالْتَفُّوا حَوْلَ شَرِيعَةِ اللهِ مَعَ نِسَائِهِمْ، وَسَائِرِ ذَوِي الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَالْفَهْمِ،

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 فَقَدِ انْضَمُّوا إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِمْ وَأَشْرَافِهِمْ، وَتَعَهَّدُوا مُقْسِمِينَ بِالالْتِزَامِ بِالسَّيْرِ فِي شَرِيعَةِ اللهِ الَّتِي أَعْلَنَهَا عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى عَبْدِهِ، وَبِالْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ 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 كَمَا تَمَّ التَّعَهُّدُ بِعَدَمِ تَزْوِيجِ بَنَاتِنَا مِنْ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، وَلا تَزْوِيجِ أَبْنَائِنَا مِنْ بَنَاتِهِمْ،

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 وَرَفْضِ الشِّرَاءِ مِنْ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ الَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ لِبَيْعِ بَضَائِعِهِمْ وَحُبُوبِهِمْ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ أَوْ فِي أَيِّ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الأَيَّامِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، وَأَنْ نَمْتَنِعَ عَنْ زِرَاعَةِ الأَرْضِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ سَابِعَةٍ وَنُلْغِيَ فِيهَا كُلَّ الدُّيُونِ.

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

٣٢ وَفَرَضْنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا جِزْيَةً سَنَوِيَّةً قَدْرُهَا ثُلْثُ شَاقِلٍ (أَيْ أَرْبَعُ جِرَامَاتِ) فِضَّةٍ، نَدْفَعُهَا لِنَفَقَاتِ خِدْمَةِ هَيْكَلِ 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 وَلِتَوْفِيرِ خُبْزِ التَّقْدِمَةِ وَالتَّقْدِمَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ وَالْمُحْرَقَةِ الْيَوْمِيَّةِ وَقَرَابِينِ السُّبُوتِ وَمَطَالِعِ الشُّهُورِ وَالأَعْيَادِ وَالأَقْدَاسِ وَذَبَائِحِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِلْقِيَامِ بِصِيَانَةِ 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 ثُمَّ، نَحْنُ الْكَهَنَةَ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَالشَّعْبَ، أَلْقَيْنَا الْقُرْعَةَ لِنُقَرِّرَ مَتَى يَتَحَتَّمُ عَلَى كُلِّ عَائِلَةٍ مِنْ عَائِلاتِنَا أَنْ تَجْلِبَ تَقْدِمَاتِهَا السَّنَوِيَّةَ مِنَ الْحَطَبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ، لإِحْرَاقِهَا عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، كَمَا نَصَّتِ الشَّرِيعَةُ،

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 كَمَا أَلْزَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا بِحَمْلِ بَاكُورَاتِ أَرْضِنَا مِنَ الْمَحَاصِيلِ أَوْ مِنْ أَثْمَارِ الأَشْجَارِ سَنَةً فَسَنَةً إِلَى هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِنَا

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 وَكَذَلِكَ أَبْكَارِ أَبْنَائِنَا وَبَهَائِمِنَا وَمَوَاشِينَا مِنْ بَقَرٍ وَغَنَمٍ، فَنُحْضِرُهَا إِلَى هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِنَا إِلَى الْكَهَنَةِ الْخَادِمِينَ، كَمَا نَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّرِيعَةُ.

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 وَتَعَهَّدْنَا أَيْضاً أَنْ نَأْتِيَ بِأَوَائِلِ عَجِينِنَا وَقَرَابِينِنَا وَثَمَرِ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ وَأَوَائِلِ الْخَمْرِ وَالزَّيْتِ إِلَى الْكَهَنَةِ إِلَى مَخَازِنِ هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِنَا، وَبِعُشْرِ مَحَاصِيلِ أَرْضِنَا إِلَى اللّاوِيِّينَ، لأَنَّ اللّاوِيِّينَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَجْمَعُونَ الْعُشُورَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُدُنِنَا الرِّيفِيَّةِ.

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 كَاهِنٌ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ هرُونَ مَعَ اللّاوِيِّينَ حِينَ يَقُومُونَ بِجَمْعِ الْعُشُورِ، فَيُوْدِعُ اللّاوِيُّونَ عُشْرَ الأَعْشَارِ فِي مَخَازِنِ هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِنَا،

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 لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ وَأَبْنَاءَ اللّاوِيِّينَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ بِتَقْدِمَاتِ الْقَمْحِ وَالْخَمْرِ وَالزَّيْتِ إِلَى الْمَخَازِنِ، حَيْثُ تُوجَدُ آنِيَةُ الْقُدْسِ وَالْكَهَنَةُ والْقَائِمُونَ بِالْخِدْمَةِ وَحُرَّاسُ أَبْوَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالْمُرَتِّلُونَ. وَهَكَذَا لَا نُهْمِلُ هَيْكَلَ إِلَهِنَا.
