28 The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants, 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—
“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 joined with their brothers, their nobles, and entered into a curse and into an oath, to walk in God’s Torah, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his ordinances 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 to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters 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 bring wares or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy from them on the Sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego the seventh year crops and the exaction of every debt.
“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 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:
“Akka waggaa hunda tajaajila mana Waaqa keenyaatiif jennee saqilii argannu harka sadii keessaa harka tokko kenninu itti gaafatamummaa ni fudhanna;
33 for the show bread, for the continual meal offering, for the continual burnt offering, for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, for the holy things, for the sin offerings to make atonement for 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 We, the priests, the Levites, and the people, cast lots 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 LORD our God’s altar, as it is written in the Torah;
“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 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 LORD’s house;
“Akkasumas nu mataa midhaan keenyaatii fi mataa muka ija kennuu hunda waggaa waggaadhaan gara mana Waaqayyoo fiduuf itti gaafatama fudhanneerra.
36 also the firstborn of our sons and of our livestock, as it is written in the Torah, 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;
“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 that we should bring the first fruits of our dough, our wave offerings, the fruit of all kinds of trees, and the new wine and the oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take the tithes in all our farming villages.
“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 The priest, the descendent of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites take tithes. The Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the rooms, into 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 the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the wave offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, to the rooms where the vessels of the sanctuary are, and the priests who minister, with the gatekeepers and the singers. We will not forsake 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.”
