28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nathinim, and every one who drew off from the nations of the land to the law of God, their wives, their sons, their daughters, every one who had knowledge and understanding,

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 were urgent with their brethren, and bound them under a curse, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which was given by the hand of Moses, the servant of God; to keep and to do all the commandments of the Lord, and his judgments, and his ordinances;

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 and that we will not, [they said, ]give our daughters to the people of the land, nor will we take their daughters to our sons.

٣٠ كَمَا تَمَّ التَّعَهُّدُ بِعَدَمِ تَزْوِيجِ بَنَاتِنَا مِنْ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، وَلا تَزْوِيجِ أَبْنَائِنَا مِنْ بَنَاتِهِمْ،

31 And [as for] the people of the land who bring wares and all [manner of] merchandise to sell on the sabbath-day, we [will] not buy of them on the sabbath or on the holy day: and we will leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

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 And we will impose ordinances upon ourselves, to levy on ourselves the third part of a didrachm yearly for the service of the house of our God;

٣٢ وَفَرَضْنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا جِزْيَةً سَنَوِيَّةً قَدْرُهَا ثُلْثُ شَاقِلٍ (أَيْ أَرْبَعُ جِرَامَاتِ) فِضَّةٍ، نَدْفَعُهَا لِنَفَقَاتِ خِدْمَةِ هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِنَا.

33 the show bread, and the continual meat-offering, and for the continual whole burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moon, for the feast, and for the holy things, and the sin-offerings, to make atonement for Israel, and for the works of the house 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 And we cast lots for the office of wood-bearing, [we] the priests, and the Levites, and the people, to bring [wood] into the house of our God, according to the house of our families, at certain set times, year by year, to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in 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 and to bring the first fruits of our land, and the first fruits of the fruit of every tree, year by year, into the house of the Lord:

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

36 the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, for the priests that minister in the house of our God.

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

37 And the first fruits of our corn, and the fruit of every tree, of wine, and of oil, will we bring to the priests to the treasury of the house of God; and a tithe of our land to the Levites: for the Levites themselves shall receive tithes in all the cities of the land we cultivate.

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 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites in the tithe of the Levite: and the Levites shall bring up the tenth part of [their] tithe to the house of our God, into the treasuries of the house of God.

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

39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring into the treasuries the first fruits of the corn, and wine, and oil; and there [are] the holy vessels, and the priests, and the ministers, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house 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.
