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].
El resto del pueblo, incluidos los sacerdotes, los levitas, los porteros, los cantores y los servidores del Templo, y todos los que se habían separado del pueblo de la tierra para guardar la Ley de Dios, así como sus esposas y todos sus hijos e hijas que tuvieran edad suficiente para entender,
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: ]
se unieron a los líderes para jurar seguir la Ley de Dios dada a través de Moisés, el siervo de Dios, para prestar atención y llevar a cabo todos los mandatos del Señor, nuestro Dios, sus normas y reglamentos.
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.
“Prometemos no permitir que nuestras hijas se casen con el pueblo de la tierra, y no permitir que nuestros hijos se casen con sus hijas.
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).
Cuando los pueblos de la tierra traigan mercancías y toda clase de alimentos para venderlos en el santo día de reposo, no les compraremos nada en el día de reposo ni en los demás días sagrados. Cada siete años dejaremos que la tierradescanse, y anularemos todas las deudas.
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.
“Aceptamos la obligación de pagar un tercio de siclo para el funcionamiento del Templo de Dios,
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.
para el pan de la proposición, para las ofrendas regulares de grano y los holocaustos, para las ofrendas del sábado, para la luna nueva y las fiestas anuales, para las ofrendas sagradas, para las ofrendas por el pecado para hacer expiación por Israel, en fin, todo lo que tiene lugar en el Templo de nuestro Dios.
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].
“Hemos repartido por sorteo entre los sacerdotes, los levitas y el pueblo, para determinar quiénes traerán leña al Templo de nuestro Dios para quemarla en el altar del Señor, nuestro Dios, en determinados momentos del año, como lo exige la Ley.
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].
“También prometemos traer cada año al Templo del Señor la primera parte de los productos de nuestros campos y de todos los árboles frutales.
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].
Llevaremos los primogénitos de nuestros hijos y de nuestro ganado y de nuestras manadas y rebaños al Templo de nuestro Dios, a los sacerdotes que allí ejercen su ministerio, como lo exige la Ley.
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.
Llevaremos a los almacenes del Templo de nuestro Dios, para los sacerdotes, la primera parte de nuestra harina molida, de nuestras ofrendas de grano, del fruto de todos nuestros árboles, y de nuestro vino nuevo y aceite de oliva. También llevaremos el diezmo de nuestros productos a los levitas, porque los levitas son los que recogen los diezmos en todas las ciudades agrícolas.
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.
“Un sacerdote descendiente de Aarón acompañará a los levitas cuando recojan el diezmo, y los levitas deberán llevar un diezmo de estos diezmos a las salas del almacén del Templo de nuestro Dios.
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].”
“El pueblo de Israel y los levitas llevarán las ofrendas de grano, vino nuevo y aceite de oliva a los almacenes donde se guardan los objetos del santuario, donde están los sacerdotes ministrantes, los porteros y los cantores. No olvidaremos el Templo de nuestro Dios”.
