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 gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and every one who hath been separated from the peoples of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every knowing intelligent one,
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.
are laying hold on their brethren, their honourable ones, and coming in to an execration, and in to an oath, to walk in the law of God, that was given by the hand of Moses, servant of God, and to observe and to do all the commands of Jehovah our Lord, and His judgments, 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 give not our daughters to the peoples of the land, and their daughters we take not to 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 the peoples of the land who are bringing in the wares and any corn on the sabbath-day to sell, we receive not of them on the sabbath, and on a holy day, and we leave the seventh year, and usury on every 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 have appointed for ourselves commands, to put on ourselves the third of a shekel in a 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 bread of the arrangement, and the continual present, and the continual burnt-offering of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for appointed seasons, and for holy things, and for sin-offerings, to make atonement for Israel, even 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 the lots we have caused to fall for the offering of wood, [among] the priests, the Levites, and the people, to bring in to the house of our God, by the house of our fathers, at times appointed, year by year, to burn on the altar of Jehovah 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 in the first fruits of our ground, and the first fruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of Jehovah,
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 the firstlings of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and our flocks, to bring in to the house of our God, to the priests who are ministering in the house of our God.
37 “Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, woatsɔ nuawo adzra ɖo ɖe míaƒe Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la me.

And the beginning of our dough, and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of every tree, of new wine, and of oil, we bring in to the priests, unto the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithe of our ground to the Levites; and they — the Levites — have the tithes in all the cities of our 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 the priest, son of Aaron, hath been with the Levites in the tithing of the Levites, and the Levites bring up the tithe of the tithe to the house of our God unto the chambers, to 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 unto the chambers do they bring in — the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi — the heave-offering of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, and there [are] vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests, those ministering, and the gatekeepers, and the singers, and we do not forsake the house of our God.
