And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the doorkeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all they that had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters, every one having knowledge [and] having understanding,

joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which had been given by Moses the servant of God, and to keep and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;
30 “Anyị kpebikwara na ụmụ anyị ndị ikom na ndị inyom agaghị alụ di maọbụ nwunye site na mba ọzọ.
and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
31 “Anyị kpebikwara na ọ bụrụ na ndị mba ọzọ eburu ngwa ahịa ha maọbụ mkpụrụ ubi ha bịa ire ya nʼụbọchị izuike, maọbụ nʼụbọchị ọzọ dị nsọ, anyị agaghị azụ ihe ọbụla.

and that if the peoples of the land brought wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, we would not take it of them on the sabbath, or on [any] holy day; and that we would leave [the land uncultivated] the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
32 “Anyị kwekọrịtakwara na anyị ga-atụ ụtụ otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke otu shekel afọ niile maka iji kwadoo ọrụ ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke,
And 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,

for the bread to be set in rows, and for the continual oblation, and for the continual burnt-offering, [for that] of the sabbaths [and] of the new moons, for the set 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 “Anyị bụ ndị nchụaja, ndị Livayị na ndị ọzọ, ejirila ife nza chọpụta mgbe ezinaụlọ ọbụla nʼetiti anyị ga-eji bubata nku nʼụlọ Chineke anyị nʼoge ya kwa afọ, maka ebe ịchụ aja nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị dịka e dere ya nʼiwu.
And we cast the lots among 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 Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law;
35 “Anyị kpebikwara na mmadụ niile nʼotu nʼotu ga na-ewebata mkpụrụ mbụ nke ihe ubi ya nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na mkpụrụ osisi ọbụla, maọbụ ihe ubi ndị ọzọ.

36 “Dịka e dere ya nʼIwu, anyị ga-ewebata ụmụ ndị ikom mbụ anyị, na nwa mbụ nke igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị niile, nʼụlọ Chineke anyị. A ga-enye ha ndị nchụaja na-eje ozi nʼebe ahụ.
and the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, as it is written in the law; and to bring the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests that minister in the house of our God;
37 “Karịsịa, anyị ga-ewebata nʼụlọ ịchịkọba ihe nke ụlọnsọ Chineke anyị, nyekwa ha ndị nchụaja, ụtụ ọka mbụ anyị kwọrọ, ya na onyinye ndị ọzọ nke mkpụrụ ubi mbụ anyị, dịka mmanya vaịnị mbụ, mmanụ oliv mbụ na mkpụrụ osisi ndị ọzọ.

and that we should bring the first-fruits of our coarse meal and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, new wine and oil, to the priests, into the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that they, the Levites, should take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.

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 to the house of our God, into the chambers of the treasure-house.
39 Ndị Izrel na ndị Livayị, kwesiri iweta onyinye ọka ha, na mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ, na mmanụ oliv nʼime ụlọ ịchịkọba ihe, nʼebe a na-edebe ngwongwo niile e ji eje ozi nʼụlọ ukwu ahụ, nke ndị nchụaja na-eje ozi, ndị nche na nke ndị ọbụ abụ. “Anyị agaghị agbakụtakwa ụlọ Chineke anyị azụ.”
For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the new wine and the oil, into the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the doorkeepers and the singers. And we will not forsake the house of our God.
