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,
Labantu abaseleyo, abapristi, amaLevi, abalindimasango, abahlabeleli, amaNethini, labo bonke abazehlukanise labantu bamazwe baya emlayweni kaNkulunkulu, omkabo, amadodana abo, lamadodakazi abo, wonke owaziyo, oqedisisayo,
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;
babambelela kubafowabo, izikhulu zabo, bangena kusiqalekiso lesifungo sokuhamba emlayweni kaNkulunkulu owanikwa ngesandla sikaMozisi inceku kaNkulunkulu, lokuyigcina lokuyenza yonke imilayo kaJehova iNkosi yethu, lezahlulelo zayo lezimiso zayo.
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;
Lokuthi kasiyikunika amadodakazi ethu ebantwini belizwe loba singathatheli amadodana ethu amadodakazi abo.
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.
Uba abantu belizwe beletha izimpahla loba yiwaphi amabele ukukuthengisa ngosuku lwesabatha, kasiyikuthenga kibo ngesabatha langosuku olungcwele. Njalo sizayekela umnyaka wesikhombisa, lesikwelede sonke.
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,
Futhi sizazimisela imilayo yokubeka phezu kwethu ingxenye yesithathu yeshekeli emnyakeni ibe ngeyomsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu,
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.
eyesinkwa sokubukiswa, leyomnikelo wokudla wensuku zonke, leyomnikelo wokutshiswa wensuku zonke, eyamasabatha, eyokuthwasa kwezinyanga, eyemikhosi emisiweyo, leyezinto ezingcwele, leyeminikelo yesono ukwenzela uIsrayeli inhlawulo yokuthula, lomsebenzi wonke wendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.
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,
Sasesisenza inkatho yokuphosa mayelana lomnikelo wenkuni, abapristi, amaLevi, labantu, ukuziletha endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu, ngokwendlu yabobaba, ngezikhathi ezimisiweyo umnyaka ngomnyaka, zitshiswe phezu kwelathi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, njengokubhaliweyo emlayweni.
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,
Lokuletha izithelo zokuqala zomhlabathi wethu lezithelo zokuqala zesithelo sonke sesihlahla sonke umnyaka ngomnyaka endlini yeNkosi;
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.
lokuletha amazibulo amadodana ethu lawezifuyo zethu, njengokubhalwe emlayweni, lamazibulo ezinkomo zethu lawezimvu zethu, endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu, kubapristi abasebenza endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu;
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;
lokokuqala kwenhlama yethu, leminikelo yethu, lezithelo zezihlahla zonke, iwayini elitsha, lamafutha, sikulethe kubapristi emakamelweni endlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, lokwetshumi komhlabathi wethu kumaLevi, ukuze lawomaLevi emukele okwetshumi kuyo yonke imizi yomsebenzi wethu.
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;
Umpristi-ke indodana kaAroni uzakuba kanye lamaLevi lapho amaLevi esemukela okwetshumi. LamaLevi azakwenyusa okwetshumi kokwetshumi endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu emakamelweni endlu yokuligugu.
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.
Ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli labantwana bamaLevi bazaletha umnikelo wamabele, iwayini elitsha, lamafutha, emakamelweni, ngoba lapho kulezitsha zendawo engcwele labapristi abasebenzayo labalindimasango labahlabeleli. Njalo kasiyikuyitshiya indlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.
