“Zaidi ya hayo, tutaleta katika ghala za nyumba ya Mungu wetu, kwa makuhani, vyakula vya kwanza vya mashamba yetu, sadaka zetu za nafaka, matunda ya miti yetu yote, divai yetu mpya na mafuta. Nasi tutaleta zaka za mazao yetu kwa Walawi, kwa kuwa Walawi ndio ambao hukusanya zaka katika miji yote tunakofanya kazi.
38 Sotheli a prest, the sone of Aaron, schal be with the dekenes in the tithis of dekenes; and the dekenes schulen offre the tenthe part of her tithe in the hows of oure God, `at the tresorie, in the hows of tresour.
Kuhani atokanaye na uzao wa Aroni atashirikiana na Walawi wakati wanapopokea zaka, nao Walawi itawapasa kuleta sehemu ya kumi ya zaka katika nyumba ya Mungu wetu katika ghala za hazina.
39 For the sones of Israel and the sones of Leuy schulen brynge the firste fruytis of wheete, of wiyn, and of oile; and halewid vessels schulen be there, and prestis, and syngeris, and porteris, and mynystris; and we schulen not forsake the hows of `oure God.
Watu wa Israeli pamoja na Walawi itawapasa kuleta michango yao ya nafaka, divai mpya na mafuta katika vyumba vya ghala, mahali vifaa vya mahali patakatifu vinapohifadhiwa, na wanapokaa makuhani wanaohudumu, na mabawabu na waimbaji. “Hatutaacha kuijali nyumba ya Mungu wetu.”
