28 And, the rest of the people—the priests, the Levites, the doorkeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters, —every one having knowledge and understanding,
“Namoonni hafan kaan jechuunis luboonni, Lewwonni, eegdonni karraa, faarfattoonni, tajaajiltoonni mana qulqullummaatii fi warri Seera Waaqaatiif jedhanii saboota ollaa irraa kophaa of baasan hundinuu niitota isaanii, ilmaanii fi intallan isaanii kanneen waa hubachuu dandaʼan hunda wajjin
29 were holding fast unto their distinguished brethren, and were entering into a curse and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which was given through Moses the servant of God, —and to observe and do, all the commandments of Yahweh our Lord, and his regulations, and his statutes;
obboloota isaanii bebeekamootti dabalamanii akka Seera Waaqaa kan karaa Musee garbicha Waaqaa sanaatiin kenname sana eeganiif ajaja, seeraa fi labsii Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenyaa hundaaf ajajamaniif abaarsaa fi kakuudhaan waadaa galan.
30 and that we would not give our daughters unto the peoples of the land, —and, their daughters, would we not take for our sons;
“Nu akka warra naannoo keenya jiraatanitti intallan keenya hin heerumsiifne yookaan akka ilmaan keenya illee intallan isaanii hin fuusifne waadaa galla.
31 and, if the peoples of the land should be bringing in wares, or any corn on the sabbath day, to sell, we would not buy of them on the sabbath, or on a holy day, —and that we would remit the seventh year, and the loan of every hand.
“Yoo saboonni ollaa keenya jiraatan miʼa daldalaa yookaan midhaan gurguraa guyyaa Sanbataatiin fidan nu guyyaa Sanbataatiin yookaan guyyaa qulqulluu kamiin iyyuu isaan irraa hin bitannu. Waggaa torbaffaa kam iyyuu lafa qotiisaa boqochiifnee idaa hunda namaaf ni dhiifna.
32 And we laid on ourselves charges, appointing for ourselves the third of a shekel, yearly, —for the service of the house of our God:
“Akka waggaa hunda tajaajila mana Waaqa keenyaatiif jennee saqilii argannu harka sadii keessaa harka tokko kenninu itti gaafatamummaa ni fudhanna;
33 for the bread to set in array, and the continual meal-offering, and for the continual ascending-sacrifice, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the appointed feasts, and for things hallowed, and for victims bearing sin, to put a propitiatory-covering over Israel, —and for all the work of the house of our God.
kunis buddeena minjaala irratti dhiʼeeffamuuf, kennaa midhaaniitii fi aarsaa gubamu kan yeroo yerootti dhiʼeeffamuuf, aarsaa guyyaa Sanbataatiif, kan ayyaana Baatii Haaraatii fi kan ayyaanota bebeekamoo, aarsaawwan qulqullaaʼoodhaaf, aarsaawwan cubbuu kanneen Israaʼeliif araara buusuuf dhiʼeeffamaniif, akkasumas hojiiwwan mana Waaqa keenyaa keessaa hundaafii dha.
34 Also, lots, did we cast, concerning the offering of wood among the priests, the Levites, and the people, to bring it unto the house of our God, by our ancestral houses, at times arranged, year by year, —to burn upon the altar of Yahweh our God, as it is written in the law.
“Nu, luboonni, Lewwonnii fi sabni yeroo itti tokkoon tokkoon maatiiwwan keenyaa akkuma Seera keessatti barreeffametti waggaa hunda keessaa yeroo murteeffametti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa irratti bobeessuuf kennaa qoraanii gara mana Waaqa keenyaa fiduu qabnu beekuuf ixaa buufanneerra.
35 And that we would bring in the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruit of all fruit of all trees, year by year, —unto the house of Yahweh;
“Akkasumas nu mataa midhaan keenyaatii fi mataa muka ija kennuu hunda waggaa waggaadhaan gara mana Waaqayyoo fiduuf itti gaafatama fudhanneerra.
36 also that, the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, —and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, we would bring in unto the house of our God, unto the priests who should be in attendance in the house of our God;
“Akkuma Seera keessatti barreeffametti hangafa ilmaan keenyaatii fi hangafa loon keenyaa, hangafa horii keenyaatii fi hangafa bushaayee keenyaa gara mana Waaqa keenyaa, luboota achi keessa tajaajilanitti ni geessina.
37 and, the first part of our meal and our heave-offerings and the fruit of all trees, new wine and oil, would we bring in unto the priests, into the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithe of our ground unto the Levites, —the Levites themselves, taking the tithes in all our cities of agriculture.
“Kana malees nu daakuu keenya kan bukeeffame irraa, kennaawwan midhaan keenyaa irraa, ija mukkeen keenyaa hunda irraa, daadhii wayinii keenyaa haaraa fi zayitii irraa mataa fuunee gara mankuusaalee mana Waaqa keenyaa lubootatti geessina. Amma illee sababii warri harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko walitti qaban Lewwota taʼaniif magaalaawwan keessa hojjennu hunda keessaa oomisha midhaan keenyaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko Lewwotatti geessina.
38 And the priest the son of Aaron should be with the Levites, when the Levites should take the tithes, —and the Levites, should bring up the tithe of the tithe, unto the house of our God, into the chambers pertaining unto the treasure-house.
Yeroo Lewwonni kennaa harka kudhan keessaa tokko walitti qabanitti lubni sanyii Aroon keessaa dhalate tokko isaan wajjin jiraachuu qaba; ergasii Lewwonni kennaa walitti qaban sana keessaa harka kudhan keessaa tokko gara mana Waaqa keenyaa, gara mankuusaa qabeenyaatti fiduu qabu.
39 For, into the chambers, should the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi bring in the heave-offering of the corn, the new wine and the oil, since, there, are the utensils of the sanctuary, and the priests who are in attendance, and the doorkeepers, and the singers, —so would we not neglect the house of our God.
Sabni Israaʼelii fi ilmaan Lewwii kennaa midhaanii, kan daadhii wayinii haaraa fi kan zayitii gara mankuusaalee miʼi mana qulqullummaa kaaʼamu, iddoo luboonni tajaajilan, eegdonni karraa fi faarfattoonni taaʼanitti fiduu qabu. “Nus mana Waaqa keenyaa hin dagannu.”
