28 Then the rest of the people also made a solemn agreement. The people who did it included priests, temple gatekeepers, singers, and temple workers. They also included all the men from other countries who had separated themselves from the other foreigners living in Israel. These men, along with their wives, their sons and daughters who were old enough to understand [what they were doing, were people who wanted to obey God’s laws].
Nama-nama dalam perjanjian itu mewakili semua orang Israel yang lain, termasuk para imam, orang Lewi, para penjaga pintu gerbang, para penyanyi, pelayan rumah TUHAN, beserta istri dan anak-anak mereka— yaitu semua orang yang sudah cukup dewasa untuk mengerti dan menyetujui perjanjian itu. Mereka sudah memisahkan diri dari orang-orang bangsa lain di negeri itu untuk menaati hukum Allah.
29 They all joined with their leaders in making this solemn agreement. They agreed to obey all the laws that God had given to Moses. They agreed to obey everything that Yahweh our God had commanded, and all his regulations and instructions. [And this is what they promised to do: ]
Dalam perjanjian itu, kami umat Israel beserta para bangsawan bersumpah, “Biarlah kami terkena kutuk apabila tidak menaati semua perintah, peraturan, dan ketetapan TUHAN Allah, yakni hukum yang diberikan Penguasa kita melalui hamba-Nya Musa.
30 “We will not allow our daughters to marry people who live in this land [who do not worship Yahweh], and we will not allow our sons to marry them.
Kami berjanji tidak akan menikahkan anak-anak kami, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, dengan anak-anak dari bangsa-bangsa asing yang tinggal di negeri kami.
31 “If people from other countries who live in this land bring us grain or other things to sell to us on Sabbath days or any other sacred day, we will not buy anything from them. And in every seventh year, we will not plant any crops, and we will (cancel all debts/declare that people will no longer have to pay back what they owe us).
Pada hari Sabat dan hari suci lainnya, kami tidak akan membeli gandum dan berbagai barang dagangan yang dijual oleh penduduk negeri ini yang bukan bangsa Israel. Setiap tahun ketujuh, kami tidak akan menanami ladang-ladang kami dan tidak akan menagih hutang dari sesama orang Israel.
32 “We also promise that every year we will pay (one-eighth of an ounce/4 grams) of silver for the work of taking care of the temple.
“Kami juga akan memenuhi tanggung jawab sesuai perintah Allah, yaitu memberikan 4 gram uang perak setiap tahun untuk mencukupi kebutuhan ibadah di rumah TUHAN.
33 With that money they can buy these things: The sacred bread [that is placed before God], the grain that is burned [on the altar] each day, the lambs that were completely burned [on the altar], the sacred offerings for the Sabbath days and for celebrating each new moon and other festivals that God told us to celebrate, and other offerings that are dedicated to God, the animals to be sacrificed to atone for the sins of the Israeli people, and anything else that is needed for the work of taking care of the temple.
Uang tersebut akan digunakan untuk menyediakan roti sajian, persembahan gandum-ganduman, dan kurban yang dibakar habis pada setiap hari Sabat, perayaan bulan baru, perayaan tahunan, dan untuk kurban penebusan dosa bangsa Israel. Uang tersebut juga akan digunakan untuk membeli barang-barang lain dalam mendukung pekerjaan di rumah TUHAN.
34 “Each year the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi who help the priests, and the rest of us will (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine [for that year] which clans will provide wood to burn on the altar the sacrifices that are offered to Yahweh our God, in order to do what was written in the laws [God gave to Moses].
Kami juga akan menaati perintah-Nya untuk memperhatikan supaya api di mezbah TUHAN Allah tetap menyala, dengan cara menyediakan kayu bakar. Jadi kami, seluruh rakyat Israel— termasuk seluruh keluarga para imam dan orang Lewi— akan mengundi setiap tahun untuk menentukan giliran orang-orang yang bertugas menyediakan kayu bakar yang cukup dan membawanya ke rumah TUHAN.
35 “We promise that each year each family will take to the temple an offering from the first grain that we harvest and from the first fruit that grows on our trees [that year].
“Kami akan mempersembahkan hasil panen pertama dari ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun kami ke rumah TUHAN setiap tahun.
36 “Also, we will take to the priests at the temple our firstborn sons and dedicate them to God. And we will also bring firstborn calves and lambs and baby goats [to be offered as sacrifices]. That is what is written in God’s laws [that we must do].
Sesuai peraturan dalam hukum Allah, kami akan membawa setiap anak sulung kami kepada para imam yang bertugas di rumah TUHAN supaya anak-anak sulung itu dikhususkan bagi TUHAN. Kami akan mempersembahkan anak hewan ternak kami yang pertama lahir, baik sapi, kambing, maupun domba.
37 “We will also take to the priests at the temple the flour made from the first grain [that we harvest each year], and our other offerings of wine, [olive] oil, and fruit. We will also take to the descendants of Levi [who help the priests] the tithes/10% of [the crops that we grow on] our land, because they are the ones who collect the tithes in all the villages where we work/live.
Hasil pertama dari gilingan gandum dan jelai, persembahan khusus, panen buah-buahan, dan air anggur serta minyak zaitun yang pertama dibuat akan kami serahkan kepada para imam untuk disimpan di gudang rumah TUHAN karena semua itu adalah bagian untuk mereka. Selain itu, kami juga akan memberikan sepersepuluh dari hasil panen kami kepada orang Lewi yang bertanggung jawab untuk mengumpulkannya di lumbung kota kami masing-masing.
38 The priests who are descendants of Aaron will be with the [other] descendants of Levi and supervise them when they collect the tithes. Then the descendants of Levi must take 10% of the things that people bring and put them in the storerooms in the temple.
Seorang imam dari keturunan Harun harus hadir bersama orang-orang Lewi ketika mereka mengumpulkan perpuluhan dari rakyat. Orang-orang Lewi harus membawa sepersepuluh dari semua yang mereka terima ke gudang-gudang perbendaharaan di rumah TUHAN.
39 The descendants of Levi and [some of] the other Israeli people must take 10% of the offerings of grain, wine, and [olive] oil to the storerooms where the various utensils that are used in the temple are kept. That is the place where the priests who are serving at that time, the temple guards, and those who sing in the temple choir live. [We promise that] we will not neglect [taking care of the temple of our God].”
Umat Israel dan orang-orang Lewi akan membawa persembahan gandum dan hasil panen lainnya, air anggur baru, serta minyak zaitun ke gudang-gudang perbendaharaan rumah TUHAN, supaya siap digunakan oleh para imam, penjaga pintu gerbang, dan penyanyi yang bertugas di rumah Allah. Kami berjanji tidak akan menelantarkan rumah Allah kita.”
