28 A o ke koena o ka poe kanaka, o na kahuna, o na Levi, o ka poe kiaipuka, o ka poe mele, o ka poe Netini, a me ka poe a pau i hookaawaleia ae la mailoko mai o na lahuikanaka o na aina a ma ke kanawai o ke Akua, ka lakou poe wahine, o ka lakou poe keikikane a me ka lakou poe kaikamahine, ka poe a pau e hiki ia lakou ke ike a e hoomaopopo hoi;
“The rest of the people—the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, temple servants, and all who had separated themselves from the people of the land to obey the Law of God—along with their wives and all their sons and daughters who are able to understand,
29 Hoopili mai la lakou i ko lakou mau hoahanau, i na luna o lakou, a hoohiki iho la me ka hoopaa loa ana e hele ma ke kanawai o ke Akua, ka mea i haawiia mai ma ka lima o Mose ke kauwa a ke Akua, a e malama a e hana i na kauoha a pau a Iehova ko kakou Haku, a me kana mau olelo kupaa a me kona mau kapu;
hereby join with their noble brothers and commit themselves with a sworn oath to follow the Law of God given through His servant Moses and to carefully obey all the commandments, ordinances, and statutes of the LORD our Lord.
30 A i haawi ole aku makou i ka makou mau kaikamahine i na lahuikanaka o ka aina, a i lawe ole hoi makou i ka lakou mau kaikamahine na na keikikane a makou:
We will not give our daughters in marriage to the people of the land, and we will not take their daughters for our sons.
31 A ina e halihali mai na kanaka e i na mea kalepa, a i kekahi ai paha, i ka la Sabati e kuai, aole makou e lawe i ka lakou i ka Sabati, i ka la hoano; a i ka hiku o ka makahiki e hooki makou i kela aie keia aie me ka hookaa ole ia mai.
When the people of the land bring merchandise or any kind of grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we will not buy from them on a Sabbath or holy day. Every seventh year we will let the fields lie fallow, and will cancel every debt.
32 A kau iho la makou maluna o makou iho i na kanawai e auhau ia makou iho i ka hapakolu o ka sekela i kela makahiki i keia makahiki no ka oihana o ka hale o ko makou Akua;
We also place ourselves under the obligation to contribute a third of a shekel yearly for the service of the house of our God:
33 No ka berena hoike a me ka mohai makana mau a me ka mohaikuni mau, no na Sabati, no na mahina hou, no na ahaaina i oleloia'i, a no na mea laa, a no na mohaihala e uhi ai i ka hala no ka Iseraela, a no na oihana a pau o ka hale o ko makou Akua.
for the showbread, for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings, for the Sabbath offerings, for the New Moons and appointed feasts, for the holy offerings, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the duties of the house of our God.
34 A hailona iho la makou, o ka poe kahuna, na Levi a me ka poe kanaka, ma ko ka hale o ko makou poe kupuna, no ka haawi ana mai i ka wahie e lawe mai ma ka hale o ko makou Akua, i na manawa i oleloia'i, i kela makahiki i keia makahiki, i mea puhi maluna o ke kuahu o Iehova ko makou Akua, e like me ka mea i kakauia'i iloko o ke kanawai;
We have cast lots among the priests, Levites, and people for the donation of wood by our families at the appointed times each year. They are to bring it to the house of our God to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the Law.
35 A e lawe mai i na mea i ohi mua ia o ko makou aina, a me na mea i ohi mua ia o kela hua keia hua o na laau a pau, i kela makahiki keia makahiki, ma ka hale o Iehova:
We will also bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the house of the LORD year by year.
36 A me na hiapo o ka makou poe keikikane, a me ka makou poe holoholona, e like me ka mea i kakauia'i iloko o ke kanawai, a me na mea hanau mua o ka makou poe bipi a me ka makou ohana hipa, e lawe mai no ma ka hale o ko kakou Akua, i na kahuna e lawelawe ana ma ka hale o ko kakou Akua;
And we will bring the firstborn of our sons and our livestock, as it is written in the Law, and will bring the firstborn of our herds and flocks to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God.
37 A i lawe makou i kauwahi hana mua ia o ka makou palaoa kawiliia, a me na makana a makou, a me ka hua o kela laau o keia laau, ka waina a me ka aila, i na kahuna ma na keena o ka hale o ko kakou Akua; a me ka hapa umi o ka makou mahina ai i na Levi, a na lakou no, na na Levi ka hapa umi ma na kulanakauhale a pau o ko makou mahi ana.
Moreover, we will bring to the priests at the storerooms of the house of our God the firstfruits of our dough, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees, and of our new wine and oil. A tenth of our produce belongs to the Levites, so that they shall receive tithes in all the towns where we labor.
38 A o ke kahuna, ka mamo a Aarona, oia pu kekahi me na Levi i ka lawe ana o na Levi i ka hapa umi; a e halihali mai na Levi i ka hapa umi o ka hapa umi ma ka hale o ko kakou Akua ma na keena iloko o ka hale waihona waiwai.
A priest of Aaron’s line is to accompany the Levites when they collect the tenth, and the Levites are to bring a tenth of these tithes to the storerooms of the treasury in the house of our God.
39 No ka mea, e lawe no ka Iseraela a me na Levi i ka hookupu ana o ka ai, o ka waina a me ka aila ma na keena, a malaila no na ipu o ka luakini, a me na kahuna nana e lawelawe, a me ka poe kiaipuka, a me ka poe mele: aole makou e haalele i ka hale o ko kakou Akua.
For the Israelites and the Levites are to bring the contributions of grain, new wine, and oil to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are kept and where the ministering priests, the gatekeepers, and the singers stay. Thus we will not neglect the house of our God.”
