28 “Ndị ọzọ fọdụrụ bụ ndị nchụaja, ndị Livayị, ndị nche, ndị ọbụ abụ, ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ na ndị ahụ niile sitere nʼirube isi nʼiwu Chineke wezuga onwe ha site nʼebe ndị mba ọzọ ahụ bi ha gburugburu nọ, ha na ndị nwunye ha na ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom, bụ ndị niile tozuru ịghọta ihe.
The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants, and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters—everyone who had knowledge and understanding—
29 Ndị a niile sooro ụmụnne ha ndị Izrel a na-asọpụrụ, jikọtaa onwe ha nʼọbụbụ ọnụ na ịṅụ iyi ịgbaso iwu Chineke, nke o nyere site nʼaka Mosis, bụ ohu Chineke; na ilezi anya rube isi nʼihe niile enyere nʼiwu, ntụziaka niile na ụkpụrụ niile nke Onyenwe anyị bụ Onyenwe anyị.
joined with their brothers, their nobles, and entered into a curse and into an oath, to walk in God’s Torah, 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 “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 if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy from them on the Sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego the seventh year crops 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,
Also we made ordinances for ourselves, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God:
33 maka ime ka ihe ndị a dịrị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ: achịcha nsọ, onyinye ọka nke ụbọchị niile, aja nsure ọkụ na onyinye nke ụbọchị izuike, mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ niile, ha na mmemme ndị ọzọ niile a kara aka, maka aja dị nsọ niile na aja ikpuchi mmehie ndị Izrel, maka ozi niile a na-aga nʼụlọnsọ Chineke anyị.
for the show bread, for the continual meal offering, for the continual burnt offering, for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, for the holy things, for the sin offerings to make 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.
We, the priests, the Levites, and the people, cast lots 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 on the LORD our God’s altar, as it is written in the Torah;
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.
and to bring the first fruits of our ground and the first fruits of all fruit of all kinds of trees, year by year, to the LORD’s house;
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.
also the firstborn of our sons and of our livestock, as it is written in the Torah, and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, to the priests who 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 dough, our wave offerings, the fruit of all kinds of trees, and the new wine and the oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take the tithes in all our farming villages.
38 Ndị nchụaja bụ ụmụ ụmụ Erọn ga-eso ndị Livayị mgbe ha na-anakọta onyinye otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri ndị a. Ha ga-ewekọta ihe ndị a niile webaa ha nʼụlọ Chineke anyị, ruo nʼime ọnụụlọ ịchịkọba ihe, nke ụlọakụ.
The priest, the descendent of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites take tithes. The Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the rooms, into 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 wave offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, to the rooms where the vessels of the sanctuary are, and the priests who minister, with the gatekeepers and the singers. We will not forsake the house of our God.
