27 Malluch, Harim, Baanah.

٢٧ وَمَلُّوخُ وَحَرِيمُ وَبَعْنَةُ.

28 The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone 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 they joined with their brothers, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD, and his ordinances and his statutes;

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 would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;

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

31 and if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy of them on the Sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego 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 Also we made ordinances for ourselves, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel 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 for the show bread, and for the continual meal offering, and for the continual burnt offering, for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work 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 We cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed, 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 ground, and the first fruits of all fruit of all kinds of trees, year by year, to the house of the LORD;

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

36 also the firstborn of our sons, and of our livestock, 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, to the priests who 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 that we should bring the first fruits of our coarse meal, our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the new wine and the oil to the priests to the storerooms of the house of our God; and the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites take the tithes in all the cities where we work.

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 The priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the rooms, into the treasure house.

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 descendants of Levi shall bring the wave offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, to the rooms, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests who minister, and the gatekeepers, and the singers. 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.
