28 Ame siawoe de asi nubabla la te ɖe dukɔ blibo la nu, elabena dukɔmeviwo, nunɔlawo, Levitɔwo, agbonudzɔlawo, hadzilawo, gbedoxɔmedɔwɔlawo kple ame bubuawo katã, ame siwo srɔ̃wo, viŋutsuwo, vinyɔnuwo, ame siwo tsi ate ŋu ase nu gɔme la, ɖe wo ɖokuiwo ɖe aga tso trɔ̃subɔla siwo le anyigba la dzi gbɔ ale be woasubɔ Mawu.
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gate-keepers, the singers, the temple-servants, and all those that had separated themselves from the nations of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding,
29 Ame siawo katã wɔ ɖeka kple Israelvi bubumewo, eye woɖe adzɔgbe be Mawu ƒe fiƒode nava wo dzi ne womewɔ Yehowa ƒe Se siwo wòde na wo to Mose, Mawu ƒe dɔla la dzi o, eye woɖe adzɔgbe be woalé Yehowa, woƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe Sewo kple ɖoɖowo katã me ɖe asi.
Held firmly with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which was given through means of Moses the servant of God, and to observe and to do all the commandments of the Eternal One, our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;
30 “Míelɔ̃ ɖe edzi hã be míaɖe mɔ na mía vinyɔnuwo woaɖe amedzrowo o, eye nenema ke míaɖe mɔ mía viŋutsuwo hã naɖe wo vinyɔnuwo o.
And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;
31 “Míelɔ̃ ɖe edzi be ne trɔ̃subɔla siwo le anyigba la dzi anɔ adzɔnu kple agblemenuku alo nu bubu aɖe dzram le Dzudzɔgbe alo ŋkeke kɔkɔe bubu aɖe dzi la, míagbe eƒeƒle.

And that if the people of the land should bring wares or any provisions on the sabbath day to sell, we would not buy of them on the sabbath, or on [another] holy day; and that we would leave [the fields without reaping in] the seventh year, and [give up] every loan of hand.
32 “Míelɔ̃ ɖe edzi be míadzɔ nu ƒe sia ƒe na gbedoxɔ la, ale be ga nasɔ gbɔ ɣe sia ɣi hena mía Mawu la ƒe gbedoxɔ la dzikpɔkpɔ,
And we established for us as one of the commandments to impose on ourselves [to give] the third part of a shekel in every year for the service of the house of our God;
33 elabena míehiã nu tɔxɛwo na Ŋkumeɖobolo, nuɖuvɔsawo kple numevɔsawo na Dzudzɔgbewo, Ɣleti yeye ƒe ŋkekenyuiwo kple Ŋkekenyui siwo míeɖuna ƒe sia ƒe, na vɔsa kɔkɔewo, na avuléle ɖe Israel nu kple dɔwɔwɔ le gbedoxɔ la me.
For the shew-bread, and for the continual meat-offering, and for the continual burnt-offering, [for those of] the sabbaths, of the new-moons, for the appointed feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and [for] all the work of the house of our God.
34 “Míada akɔ be míanya ƒe sia ƒe ƒe ɣeyiɣi si dzi nunɔlawo, Levitɔwo kple kplɔlawo ƒe ƒometɔwo ana nake si ŋu dɔ woawɔ le Yehowa, mía Mawu la ƒe vɔsamlekpui dzi abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖe Se la me ene.
And we, the priests, the Levites, and the people, cast lots concerning the procuring of the wood, to bring it into the house of our God, unto the house of our fathers, at fixed times, year by year, to burn upon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law;
35 “Míelɔ̃ ɖe edzi hã be míatsɔ míaƒe agblemenuku ɖe sia ɖe ƒe gbãtɔ, eɖanye nu si ɖona le to me alo tsena ɖe kutsetsetiwo kple amitiwo dzi o, ayi Yehowa ƒe aƒe me.
And to bring the first-fruits of our ground, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the Lord;
36 “Abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖe Se la me ene la, míelɔ̃ ɖe edzi be míatsɔ míaƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo kple míaƒe nyiwo, alẽwo kple gbɔ̃wo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo ana Yehowa. Míatsɔ wo na nunɔla siwo le subɔsubɔdɔ wɔm le gbedoxɔ la me.
And also the first-born of our sons, and for our [unclean] cattle, as it is written in the law, and to bring the first-born of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God;
37 “Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, woatsɔ nuawo adzra ɖo ɖe míaƒe Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la me. Nu siawoe nye míaƒe bli kple agblemenuku siwo ɖi bli la ƒe nyuitɔwo, míaƒe nudzɔdzɔwo, míaƒe kutsetse gbãtɔwo kple míaƒe wain yeye kple ami ƒe gbãtɔwo.

And that we would bring the first portion of our dough, and our heave-offerings, and this of the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, to the priests, unto the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites; and that these same Levites should be the receivers of the tithes in all the cities of our land-tillage;
38 Nunɔla Aron ƒe dzidzimevi ɖeka anɔ Levitɔwo gbɔ ne wole nuwo ƒe ewoliawo xɔm, eye Levitɔwo atsɔ nu ewolia si woxɔ la ƒe ewolia ayi gbedoxɔ me, adzra ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒe la.
And that the priest the son of Aaron should be with the Levites, when the Levites receive the tithes; and that the Levites should bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure-house.
39 Le Se la nu la, ele be Israelviwo kple Levitɔwo natsɔ woƒe nunana siwo nye bli kple bubuawo, wain yeye kple ami la, ayi gbedoxɔ la me, eye woatsɔ wo ade kɔkɔeƒe ƒe nuwo me hena nunɔla siwo le subɔsubɔ wɔm kple agbonudzɔlawo kple hadzilawo ƒe ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ. “Ale mí katã míelɔ̃ ɖe edzi be míagblẽ míaƒe Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la ɖi o.”
For into the chambers shall the children of Israel and the children of Levi bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, and there shall be the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the gatekeepers, and the singers: and that we will not forsake the house of our God.
