28 And the rest of the people, the Priestes, the Leuites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all that were separated from the people of the landes vnto the Lawe of God, their wiues, their sonnes, and their daughters, all that coulde vnderstande.
Na watu wengine waliokuwa makuhani, na Walawi, na walinzi wa malango, na waimbaji, na watumishi wa hekalu, na wote waliokuwa wamejitenga wenyewe na watu wa nchi za jirani, kwa sheria ya Mungu, na wanawake zao, na wana wao, na Binti zao, wote walio na ujuzi na ufahamu,
29 The chiefe of them receiued it for their brethren, and they came to the curse and to the othe to walke in Gods Law, which was giuen by Moses the seruant of God, to obserue and doe all the commandements of the Lord our God, and his iudgements and his statutes:
walijiunga na ndugu zao, wakuu wao, na kujifunga katika laana na kiapo cha kutembea katika sheria ya Mungu, iliyotolewa na Musa mtumishi wa Mungu, na kuzingatia na kutii amri zote za Bwana Mungu wetu na hukumu zake na sheria zake.
30 And that we would not giue our daughters to the people of the lande, neither take their daughters for our sonnes.
Tuliahidi kuwa hatuwezi kuwapa binti zetu watu wa nchi au kuchukua binti zao kwa wana wetu.
31 And if the people of the lande brought ware on the Sabbath, or any vitailes to sell, that we would not take it of them on the Sabbath and on the holy dayes: and that we would let the seuenth yeere be free, and the debtes of euery person.
Pia tuliahidi kwamba ikiwa watu wa nchi wataleta bidhaa au nafaka yoyote ya kuuza siku ya Sabato, hatuwezi kununua kutoka kwao siku ya Sabato au siku yoyote takatifu. Kila mwaka wa saba tutaacha mashamba yetu kupumzika, na tutafuta madeni yote yaliyotokana na Wayahudi wengine.
32 And we made statutes for our selues to giue by the yeere the thirde part of a shekel for the seruice of the house of our God,
Tulikubali amri za kutoa shilingi ya shekeli kila mwaka kwa ajili ya huduma ya nyumba ya Mungu wetu,
33 For the shewbread, and for the daily offring, and for the daily burnt offring, the Sabbaths, the newe moones, for the solemne feastes, and for the thinges that were sanctified, and for the sinne offrings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the worke of the house of our God.
kutoa mkate wa uwepo, na sadaka ya nafaka ya kawaida, sadaka za kuteketezwa siku za Sabato, sikukuu mpya za mwezi na sikukuu za kuteketezwa, na sadaka takatifu, na sadaka za dhambi za kufanya upatanisho kwa Israeli, pamoja na kazi yote ya nyumba ya Mungu wetu.
34 We cast also lottes for the offering of the wood, euen the Priestes, the Leuites and the people to bring it into the house of our God, by the house of our fathers, yeerely at the times appointed, to burne it vpon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the Lawe,
Na makuhani, Walawi, na watu wakapiga kura kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuni. Kura ilichagua ni nani wa familia zetu ataleta kuni ndani ya nyumba ya Mungu wetu kwa nyakati zilizowekwa kila mwaka. Kuni hizo zilichomwa juu ya madhabahu ya Bwana Mungu wetu, kama ilivyoandikwa katika sheria.
35 And to bring the first fruites of our land, and the first of all the fruites of all trees, yeere by yeere, into the house of the Lord,
Tuliahidi kuleta nyumbani kwa Bwana matunda ya kwanza yaliyotokana na udongo wetu, na matunda ya kwanza ya mti kila mwaka.
36 And the first borne of our sonnes, and of our cattel, as it is written in the Lawe, and the first borne of our bullockes and of our sheepe, to bring it into the house of our God, vnto ye Priests that minister in the house of our God,
Na kama ilivyoandikwa katika sheria, tuliahidi kuleta nyumbani kwa Mungu na kwa makuhani watumikao hapo wazaliwa wa kwanza wa wana wetu ma wanyama wetu.
37 And that we should bring the first fruite of our dough, and our offrings, and the fruite of euery tree, of wine and of oyle, vnto the Priests, to the chambers of the house of our God: and the tithes of our lande vnto the Leuites, that the Leuites might haue the tithes in all the cities of our trauaile.
Tutaleta unga wa kwanza na sadaka zetu za nafaka, na matunda ya kila mti, na divai mpya na mafuta tutaleta kwa makuhani, kwenye vyumba vya kuhifadhi vya nyumba ya Mungu wetu. Tutawaletea Walawi sehemu ya kumi kutoka kwenye udongo wetu kwa sababu Walawi hukusanya zaka katika miji yote tunayofanya kazi.
38 And the Priest, the sonne of Aaron shall be with the Leuites, when ye Leuites take tithes, and the Leuites shall bring vp the tenth parte of the tithes vnto the house of our God, vnto the chambers of the treasure house.
Kuhani, mzao wa Haruni, lazima awe na Walawi wakati wanapopokea zaka. Walawi wanapaswa kuleta sehemu ya kumi ya zaka katika nyumba ya Mungu wetu kwenye vyumba vya kuhifadhi hazima.
39 For the children of Israel, and the children of Leui shall bring vp the offerings of the corne, of the wine, and of the oyle, vnto the chabers: and there shalbe the vessels of the Sanctuarie, and the Priestes that minister, and the porters, and the fingers, and we will not forsake the house of our God.
Kwa maana wana wa Israeli na wana wa Lawi, wataleta sadaka za nafaka, divai mpya, na mafuta katika vyumba vya kuhifadhi ambapo vitu vya patakatifu vinasimamishwa, na mahali pa makuhani watumishi, na walinzi wa mlango, na waimbaji. Hatuwezi kuacha nyumba ya Mungu wetu.
