Then the rest of the people also made a solemn agreement. The people who did it included priests, temple gatekeepers, singers, and temple workers. They also included all the men from other countries who had separated themselves from the other foreigners living in Israel. These men, along with their wives, their sons and daughters who were old enough to understand [what they were doing, were people who wanted to obey God’s laws].
29 dukan waɗannan yanzu suka sadu da manyan gari’yan’uwansu, suka rantse, cewa la’ana ta same su idan ba su kiyaye Dokar Allah da aka bayar ta wurin Musa bawan Allah su kuma mai da hankali ga yin biyayya da dukan umarnai, ƙa’idodi da farillan Ubangiji shugabanmu ba.
They all joined with their leaders in making this solemn agreement. They agreed to obey all the laws that God had given to Moses. They agreed to obey everything that Yahweh our God had commanded, and all his regulations and instructions. [And this is what they promised to do: ]
30 “Mun yi alkawari ba za mu ba da’ya’yanmu mata aure ga mutanen da suke kewaye da mu ba, ba kuwa za mu auri’ya’yansu mata wa’ya’yanmu maza ba.
“We will not allow our daughters to marry people who live in this land [who do not worship Yahweh], and we will not allow our sons to marry them.
31 “Sa’ad da maƙwabta suka kawo kayayyaki ko hatsi don su sayar a ranar Asabbaci, ba za mu saya daga gare su a ranar Asabbaci ko a rana mai tsarki ba. Kowace shekarar Asabbaci ba za mu nome ƙasa ba kuma za mu yafe kowane irin bashi.
“If people from other countries who live in this land bring us grain or other things to sell to us on Sabbath days or any other sacred day, we will not buy anything from them. And in every seventh year, we will not plant any crops, and we will (cancel all debts/declare that people will no longer have to pay back what they owe us).
32 “Mun ɗauka hakkin bin umarnai na ba da kashi ɗaya bisa uku na shekel kowace shekara don hidimar gidan Allahnmu.
“We also promise that every year we will pay (one-eighth of an ounce/4 grams) of silver for the work of taking care of the temple.
33 Za mu tanada burodin da ake ajiye a kan tebur; za mu ba da hadayun hatsi da hadayun ƙonawa na kullum; za mu ba da hadayun Asabbatai, da na bukukkuwan Sabon Wata da na bukukkuwan da aka ƙayyade; za mu ba da hadayu masu tsarki; za mu ba da hadayun zunubi don a yi kafara domin Isra’ila; mu kuma ba da abubuwan da ake bukata dukan domin ayyukan gidan Allahnmu.
With that money they can buy these things: The sacred bread [that is placed before God], the grain that is burned [on the altar] each day, the lambs that were completely burned [on the altar], the sacred offerings for the Sabbath days and for celebrating each new moon and other festivals that God told us to celebrate, and other offerings that are dedicated to God, the animals to be sacrificed to atone for the sins of the Israeli people, and anything else that is needed for the work of taking care of the temple.
34 “Mu, firistoci, da Lawiyawa da kuma mutane, mun jefa ƙuri’a don a san lokacin da kowane iyalinmu zai kawo sadakar itace don ƙonewa a gidan Allahnmu a ƙayyadaddun lokuta a bagaden Ubangiji Allahnmu, kamar yadda yake a rubuce a cikin Doka.
“Each year the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi who help the priests, and the rest of us will (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine [for that year] which clans will provide wood to burn on the altar the sacrifices that are offered to Yahweh our God, in order to do what was written in the laws [God gave to Moses].
35 “Mun kuma ɗauka hakkin kawo nunan fari na hatsinmu da kuma na kowane itace mai ba da’ya’ya a gidan Ubangiji kowace shekara.
“We promise that each year each family will take to the temple an offering from the first grain that we harvest and from the first fruit that grows on our trees [that year].
36 “Kamar yadda yake a rubuce a cikin Doka, za mu kawo ɗan fari na’ya’yanmu maza da na garken shanunmu, da na tumakinmu, da kuma na awakinmu a gidan Allahnmu, don firistocin da suke aikin a can.
“Also, we will take to the priests at the temple our firstborn sons and dedicate them to God. And we will also bring firstborn calves and lambs and baby goats [to be offered as sacrifices]. That is what is written in God’s laws [that we must do].
37 “Ban da haka ma, za mu kawo wa ɗakunan ajiyar gidan Allahnmu, abincinmu na farko daga ƙasa, na hadayun hatsinmu, na’ya’yan dukan itatuwanmu da kuma na sabon ruwan inabinmu da mai namu wa firistoci. Za mu kuma kawo zakkar hatsinmu wa Lawiyawa, gama Lawiyawa ne ke karɓan Zakka cikin dukan garuruwan da muke noma.
“We will also take to the priests at the temple the flour made from the first grain [that we harvest each year], and our other offerings of wine, [olive] oil, and fruit. We will also take to the descendants of Levi [who help the priests] the tithes/10% of [the crops that we grow on] our land, because they are the ones who collect the tithes in all the villages where we work/live.
38 Firist wanda yake daga zuriyar Haruna zai raka Lawiyawa sa’ad da suke karɓan zakka, Lawiyawan kuma za su kawo kashi ɗaya bisa goma na zakka zuwa gidan Allahnmu, su kawo a ɗakunan ajiya na baitulmali.
The priests who are descendants of Aaron will be with the [other] descendants of Levi and supervise them when they collect the tithes. Then the descendants of Levi must take 10% of the things that people bring and put them in the storerooms in the temple.
39 Mutanen Isra’ila haɗe da Lawiyawa, za su kawo sadakokinsu na hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da mai a ɗakunan ajiya inda ake ajiyar kayayyakin wuri mai tsarki da kuma inda firistoci, matsaran ƙofofi da kuma mawaƙa suke zama. “Ba za mu ƙyale gidan Allahnmu ba.”
The descendants of Levi and [some of] the other Israeli people must take 10% of the offerings of grain, wine, and [olive] oil to the storerooms where the various utensils that are used in the temple are kept. That is the place where the priests who are serving at that time, the temple guards, and those who sing in the temple choir live. [We promise that] we will not neglect [taking care of the temple of our God].”
