28 “Andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩo athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii, na aikaria a ihingo, na aini, o na ndungata cia hekarũ na arĩa othe meyamũranĩtie na andũ arĩa maariganĩtie nao nĩguo maathĩkĩre Watho wa Ngai, marĩ hamwe na atumia ao, na aanake, na airĩtu ao othe arĩa mangĩhota gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ maũndũ,
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinim, and all they that had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one that had knowledge and understanding;
29 andũ aya othe maanyiitana na ariũ a ithe wao arĩa marĩ igweta, na meeohe na kĩrumi na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩmarĩrũmagĩrĩra Watho wa Ngai ũrĩa waheirwo Musa ndungata ya Ngai, na mamenyagĩrĩre gwathĩkĩra maathani mothe, na mawatho, na kĩrĩra gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩa Jehova Mwathani witũ.
they cleaved to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, 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;
30 “Tweranĩra atĩ tũtikaheana airĩtu aitũ mahikio nĩ andũ arĩa matũrigiicĩirie o na kana aanake aitũ mahikie airĩtu ao.
and that we would not give our daughters unto the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;
31 “Rĩrĩa andũ a mabũrũri marĩa tũriganĩtie marĩrehaga indo na ngano ya kwendia mũthenya wa Thabatũ, tũtikamagũrĩra mũthenya ũcio wa Thabatũ o na kana mũthenya ũngĩ o wothe mwamũre. O mwaka wa mũgwanja wakinya tũtirĩrĩmaga mĩgũnda iitũ, na nĩtũrĩĩrekanagĩra mathiirĩ mothe.
and if the peoples of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy of them on the sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
32 “Nĩtuoya mũrigo wa kũhingia mawatho ma kũheanaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ gĩa cekeri o mwaka nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ:
Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
33 nĩ ũndũ wa mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩigagwo metha-inĩ; nĩ ũndũ wa mahinda ma maruta ma mũtu na ma njino; na nĩ ũndũ wa maruta marĩa marutagwo mũthenya wa Thabatũ, na wa ciathĩ cia Karũgamo ka Mweri, na wa ciathĩ iria ciathanĩtwo; nĩ ũndũ wa maruta marĩa maamũre; nĩ ũndũ wa maruta ma kũhoroheria mehia ma Isiraeli; o na nĩ ũndũ wa mawĩra mothe ma nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
for the showbread, and for the continual meal-offering, and for the continual burnt-offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the appointed seasons, and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
34 “Ithuĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii o na andũ aya angĩ nĩtũcuukĩte mĩtĩ tũgatuanĩra rĩrĩa o nyũmba iitũ ĩrĩĩrehaga ngũ nyũmba-inĩ ya Ngai witũ, cia gũikaragia mwaki wakanĩte kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova Ngai witũ mahinda marĩa matuanĩirwo o mwaka, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ.
And we cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people, 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 upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the Law;
35 “O na nĩtuoya mũrigo wa kũrehaga maciaro ma mbere ma mĩgũnda iitũ na ma mũtĩ o wothe wa matunda nyũmba-inĩ ya Jehova o mwaka.
and to bring the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all manner of trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD;
36 “O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ, nĩtũrĩĩrehaga marigithathi maitũ ma aanake, na ma ngʼombe, na ma ndũũru cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri ciitũ gũkũ nyũmba-inĩ ya Ngai witũ kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa matungataga kuo.
also the first-born of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the Law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God;
37 “O na ningĩ nĩtũrĩĩrehaga thĩinĩ wa makũmbĩ ma nyũmba ya Ngai, tũnengere athĩnjĩri-Ngai mũtu wa mbere, na magongona maitũ ma ngano ma mbere, na maruta ma matunda ma mĩtĩ iitũ yothe ma mbere, na ma ndibei iitũ ya mũhihano o na ma maguta. O na nĩtũrĩĩrehaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa maciaro ma mĩgũnda iitũ, tũkanengera Alawii, nĩgũkorwo nĩ Alawii maamũkagĩra icunjĩ cia ikũmi kuuma matũũra mothe kũrĩa tũrutaga wĩra.
and that we should bring the first of our dough, and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, the wine and the oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our land unto the Levites; for they, the Levites, take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
38 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai wa rũciaro rwa Harũni nĩarĩkoragwo ho Alawii makĩamũkĩra gĩcunjĩ kĩu gĩa ikũmi, nao Alawii nĩmarĩĩrehaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe makũmbĩ-inĩ ma kĩgĩĩna kĩa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes; and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure-house.
39 Andũ a Isiraeli, hamwe na Alawii, nĩmarĩĩrehaga maruta mao ma ngano, na ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta thĩinĩ wa makũmbĩ marĩa indo cia handũ-harĩa-haamũre ciigagwo, na kũrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maratungata, na aikaria a ihingo, na aini maikaraga. “Tũtirĩrekagĩrĩria nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.”
For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the wine, and of the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers; and we will not forsake the house of our God.
