28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and everyone who has been separated from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every knowing intelligent one,
“Abantu abalala bakabona, n’Abaleevi, n’abaakuumanga wankaaki, n’abayimbi, n’abaweereza b’omu yeekaalu, n’abo bonna abeeyawula ku mawanga agaali gabaliraanye olw’Amateeka ga Katonda, awamu ne bakyala baabwe, ne batabani baabwe bonna ne bawala baabwe bonna; bonna abamanyi era abategeera
29 are laying hold on their brothers, their majestic ones, and coming into an execration and an oath, to walk in the Law of God, that was given by the hand of Moses, servant of God, and to observe and to do all the commands of YHWH our Lord, and His judgments, and His statutes;
beegatte ku baganda baabwe abakungu balayire okugobereranga Amateeka ga Katonda agaabaweebwa Musa omuddu wa Katonda, n’okugonderanga, amateeka gonna, n’ebiragiro, byonna ebya Mukama Katonda waffe.
30 and that we do not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, and we do not take their daughters to our sons;
“Tusuubiza obutafumbiza bawala baffe mu bantu abatwetoolodde, newaakubadde okukkiriza batabani baffe okuwasa bawala baabwe.
31 and the peoples of the land who are bringing in the wares and any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, we do not receive of them on the Sabbath, and on a holy day, and we leave the seventh year, and usury on every hand.
“Abantu abamawanga agatwetoolodde, bwe banaaleetanga ebyamaguzi oba ebyokulya okubitunda ku lunaku olwa ssabbiiti, tetuubibagulengako ku Ssabbiiti newaakubadde ku lunaku olwatukuzibwa olulala lwonna. Buli mwaka ogw’omusanvu tetuulimenga ttaka lyaffe, era tunaasonyiwanga be tubanja bonna.
32 And we have appointed for ourselves commands, to put on ourselves the third of a shekel in a year, for the service of the house of our God,
“Tunaatwalanga obuvunaanyizibwa okuwangayo eri Katonda waffe kimu kya kusatu ekya sekeri buli mwaka olw’obuweereza mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe:
33 for bread of the arrangement, and the continual present, and the continual burnt-offering of the Sabbaths, of the new moons, for appointed times, and for holy things, and for sin-offerings, to make atonement for Israel, even all the work of the house of our God.
olw’emigaati egy’okulaga; olw’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta ekya buli kiseera, n’olw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya buli kiseera, n’olw’ebiweebwayo ebya Ssabbiiti, n’eby’embaga y’omwezi ogwakaboneka, n’embaga ezaateekebwawo n’olw’ebintu ebyatukuzibwa; n’olw’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi okutangiririra Isirayiri; n’olw’emirimu gyonna egy’omu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe.
34 And we have caused the lots to fall for the offering of wood, [among] the priests, the Levites, and the people, to bring into the house of our God, by the house of our fathers, at times appointed, year by year, to burn on the altar of our God YHWH, as it is written in the Law,
“Ffe bakabona, n’Abaleevi, n’abantu twekubidde obululu okumanya ebiseera ennyumba zaffe mwe zinaaleeteranga enku mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe, okwakanga mu kyoto kya Mukama Katonda waffe nga kyaka buli mwaka, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu mateeka.
35 and to bring in the first-fruits of our ground, and the first-fruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of YHWH,
“Ate era tutwala obuvunaanyizibwa okulaba nga buli mwaka tuleeta mu nnyumba ya Mukama ebibala ebisooka ku bisimbe byaffe ne ku buli muti ogubala ebibala.
36 and the firstlings of our sons, and of our livestock, as it is written in the Law, and the firstlings of our herds and our flocks, to bring into the house of our God, to the priests who are ministering in the house of our God.
“Era nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu mateeka, tunaaletanga abaana aboobulenzi ababereberye, n’ennyana ennume ezisooka ez’ente zaffe, n’ennyana z’amagana gaffe, n’ez’ebisibo byaffe, eri bakabona abaweerereza mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe.
37 And the beginning of our dough, and our raised-offerings, and the fruit of every tree, of new wine, and of oil, we bring to the priests, into the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithe of our ground to the Levites; and they—the Levites—have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage;
“Tunaaleetanga mu mawanika g’ennyumba ya Katonda waffe, eri bakabona, ekitole ekibereberye ku mmere gye tunaabanga tugoyezza, ne ku biweebwayo byaffe, ne ku bibala ebya buli muti gwaffe ebiriibwa, ne ku wayini waffe, ne ku mafuta. Ate era tunaaleeteranga Abaleevi ekimu eky’ekkumi ku bimera byaffe, kubanga Abaleevi be bakuŋŋaanya ebitundu eby’ekkumi mu byalo byaffe byonna gye tulimira.
38 and the priest, son of Aaron, has been with the Levites in the tithing of the Levites, and the Levites bring up the tithe of the tithe to the house of our God to the chambers, to the treasure-house;
Kabona, ow’omu lulyo lwa Alooni, yanaawerekeranga abaleevi, bwe banaabanga bagenze okukima ebitundu eby’ekkumi, era Abaleevi banaaleetanga kimu kya kkumi ku bitundu eby’ekkumi mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe, mu bisenge, mu mawanika.
39 for they bring to the chambers—the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi—the raised-offering of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and there [are] vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests, those ministering, and the gatekeepers, and the singers, and we do not forsake the house of our God.
Abantu ba Isirayiri okwo nga kw’otadde n’Abaleevi, banaaleetanga ebirabo byabwe eby’emmere ey’empeke, ne wayini omuggya, n’omuzigo mu mawanika, ebintu eby’omu kifo ekitukuvu gye biterekebwa, era bakabona abaweereza, n’abakuuma wankaaki n’abayimbi gye babeera. “Tetuulagajjalirenga nnyumba ya Katonda waffe.”
