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,
“Nnipa no nkaeɛ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ, aponoanohwɛfoɔ, nnwomtofoɔ, Asɔredan mu asomfoɔ ne wɔn a wɔatwe wɔn ho afiri abosonsomfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛsom Onyankopɔn, na wɔanyinyini a wɔte asɛm ase no,
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;
wɔn nyinaa firi akoma pa mu kaa ntam, de kyekyeree wɔn ho. Wɔkaa ntam dii nse sɛ, sɛ wɔbu Onyankopɔn mmara a ɔnam ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose so de abrɛ wɔn no so a, nnome biara a Onyankopɔn de bɛba wɔn so no, wɔpene so. Wɔfiri akoma mu hyɛɛ bɔ sɛ, wɔbɛto wɔn bo adi Awurade, wɔn Wura, ahyɛdeɛ ne ne mmara nyinaa so.
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;
“Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛremma yɛn mmammaa nware abosonsomfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so, na saa ara nso na yɛremma yɛn mmammarima nso nware wɔn mmammaa.
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.
“Yɛsane hyɛ bɔ sɛ, sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so de adwadeɛ anaa atokoɔ ba bɛtɔn no homeda anaa ɛda kronkron bi a, yɛrentɔ bi. Na yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛrenyɛ adwuma biara mfeɛ nson a ɛbɛba biara mu, na ɛka biara a Yudafoɔ afoforɔ bi de yɛn no, yɛbɛtwam.
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,
“Deɛ ɛka ho ne sɛ, yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛbɛtua Asɔredan afirinhyia toɔ a wɔahyɛ yɛn sɛ yɛntua a ɛyɛ dwetɛ gram ɛnan, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma wɔanya sika bebree de abɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho bra.
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.
Yei bɛboa ama yɛanya Hyiadan mu Burodo no, na yɛatumi abɔ atokoɔ ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ berɛ ano berɛ ano, abɔ homeda afɔdeɛ hodoɔ, adi ɔbosome foforɔ afahyɛ ahodoɔ ne dapɔnna ahodoɔ no. Saa ara na ɛbɛma yɛatumi abɔ kronkronyɛ afɔdeɛ ne bɔne ho afɔdeɛ sɛ mpatadeɛ ama Israel. Afei, ɛbɛboa ama yɛanya nneɛma bi a ɛho bɛhia ama yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho adwumayɛ.
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,
“Yɛabɔ ntonto hodoɔ, ahunu afe biara mu mmerɛ a ɛfata sɛ asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne ɔmanfoɔ no abusuafoɔ de nnyensin ba Onyankopɔn asɔredan ho na wɔhye no Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia so, sɛdeɛ mmara no kyerɛ no.
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,
“Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, daa yɛde otwakane biara mu kyɛfa bi, sɛ ɛyɛ asaseduane anaa aduaba a ɛfiri nnua so bɛba Awurade Asɔredan mu.
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.
“Yɛpene so sɛ, yɛde yɛn mmammarima a wɔyɛ abakan ne yɛn anantwie ne yɛn nnwan mmakan bɛma Onyankopɔn, sɛdeɛ mmara no kyerɛ no. Yɛde wɔn bɛma asɔfoɔ a wɔsom wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu no.
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;
“Yɛbɛkora mfudeɛ no nyinaa wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan adekoradan mu. Yɛde yɛn asikyiresiam a ɛyɛ pa ara ne atokoɔ nkaeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ, yɛn nnuaba papa ne yɛn nsã foforɔ papa ne ngo bɛba. Na yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛde yɛn mfudeɛ biara a ɛfiri yɛn asase so nkyɛmu edu mu baako bɛbrɛ Lewifoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn na wɔgyegye ntotosoɔ dudu no wɔ yɛn nkuraase.
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;
Ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔyɛ Aaron aseni bɛka Lewifoɔ no ho wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔregyegye ntotosoɔ dudu no. Na biribiara a wɔbɛgye sɛ ntotosoɔ dudu no, Lewifoɔ de mu nkyɛmu edu mu baako bɛkɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu, na wɔde akɔsisi adekoradan no mu.
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.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔmanfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no de afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ atokoɔ, nsã foforɔ ne ngo no bɛgu adekoradeɛ kronkron a ɛbɛn asɔfoɔ a wɔresom no, aponoanohwɛfoɔ ne nnwomtofoɔ no wɔ Asɔredan no mu. “Enti, yɛbɔ mu hyɛ bɔ sɛ yɛrentoto yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ase.”
