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].
“Àwọn ènìyàn tókù—àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn ọmọ Lefi, àwọn aṣọ́nà, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ tẹmpili àti gbogbo àwọn tí wọ́n ya ara wọn sọ́tọ̀ kúrò lára àwọn ènìyàn àjèjì nítorí òfin Ọlọ́run, papọ̀ pẹ̀lú ìyàwó wọn, gbogbo ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn, tí òye yé
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: ]
gbogbo wọn fi ara mọ́ àwọn arákùnrin wọn, àwọn ọlọ́lá, wọ́n sì fi ègún àti ìbúra dé ara wọn láti máa tẹ̀lé òfin Ọlọ́run tí a fi fún wọn ní ipasẹ̀ Mose ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run àti láti pa gbogbo àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin Olúwa, wa mọ́ dáradára.
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.
“A ti ṣe ìlérí pé, a kò ní fi àwọn ọmọbìnrin wa fún àwọn tí wọ́n wà ní àyíká wa bí ìyàwó, tàbí fẹ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin wa.
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).
“Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn àdúgbò bá mú ọjà tàbí oúnjẹ wá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi láti tà, àwa kò ní rà á ní ọwọ́ wọn ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi tàbí ní ọjọ́ mímọ́ kankan. Ní gbogbo ọdún keje àwa kò ní ro ilẹ̀ náà, a ó sì pa gbogbo àwọn gbèsè rẹ́.
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.
“Àwa gbà ojúṣe láti máa pa àṣẹ mọ́ pé, a ó máa san ìdámẹ́ta ṣékélì ní ọdọọdún fún iṣẹ́ ilé Ọlọ́run wa:
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.

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].
“Àwa, àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn ọmọ Lefi àti àwọn ènìyàn náà ti dìbò láti pinnu ìgbà tí olúkúlùkù àwọn ìdílé yóò mú ọrẹ igi wá láti sun lọ́ríi pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa sí ilé Ọlọ́run wa, ní àkókò tí a yàn ní ọdọọdún. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé òfin.
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].
“Àwa tún gbà ojúṣe láti mú àkọ́so àwọn èso wa wá àti gbogbo èso igi wá ní ilé Olúwa.
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].
“Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a sì ti kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé òfin, àwa yóò mú àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin wa, ti ohun ọ̀sìn wa, ti àwọn abo màlúù àti ti àwọn àgùntàn wa, wá sí ilé Ọlọ́run wa, fún àwọn àlùfáà tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ níbẹ̀.
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.
“Síwájú sí i, àwa yóò mú àkọ́so oúnjẹ ilẹ̀ wa ti ọrẹ oúnjẹ, ti gbogbo èso àwọn igi àti ti wáìnì tuntun wa àti ti òróró wá sí yàrá ìkó nǹkan pamọ́ sí ilé Ọlọ́run wa àti fún àwọn àlùfáà.

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.
Àlùfáà tí o ti ìdílé Aaroni wá ni yóò wá pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ Lefi nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń gba ìdámẹ́wàá, àwọn ọmọ Lefi yóò sì mú ìdámẹ́wàá ti ìdámẹ́wàá náà wá sí ilé Ọlọ́run, sí yàrá ìkó nǹkan pamọ́ sí inú ilé ìṣúra.
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].”
