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].

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 Tagra huvempa hunankita mofa'netia zamatresunke'za megi'a veneneramina vea enorisageta, ne' mofavretirera megi'a vahepintira mofa'ne zamia ara avare ozamigahune.
“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 Hagi megi'a vahe'ma tva'ontire'ma nemaniza vahe'mo'zama Sabati manifru hu knarero, mago'a knama huhampri antegeno ruotgema hu'nea knare'ma zagore'ma atreku mago'a zazmima eri'za ege, witi nazama eri'zama esnageta tagra mizana osegahune huta huvempa hu'none.

“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 Hanki huvempa hunankita mago mago kafufina magoke zupa, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'zama erisnaza zama mizase zana, osi'a silva zagoa refko huta eme atretere hugahune.
“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 Hanki ana zagoretira, Ra Anumzamofo avure'ma mono nompima me'nea trate'ma ante bretia miza nese'za, maka zupama witi ofama hu' witine, maka zupama tevefima kre fanane hu ofama hu sipisipio kao afutamine, Sabati zupama kresaza ofaramine, kasefa ikama ementegeno'ma musema hu knare'ma ofama hu zantamine, mago'a ranra knare'ma ofama huzantaminena miza segahaze.

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.

“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 Tagra anazanke huta kea anakunankita mago mago kafufina hozatifinti'ma ese ne'zama hamaresuna ne'zane, maka zafa rgatimo'ma ese uza'ma resanigeta tagisunana erita Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi egahune.
“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 Hanki ana zanke huta kasegefi hu'nea kante anteta ese zage ne' mofavretine, esema kasentesia ve bulimakao anenta'ene sipisipi anenta'ene meme afu anenta'ene avreta Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'zama eneri'za pristi vahe'ma mani'nazare vugahune.
“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 Ana nehuta Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo mono nompima fenozama nentaza nompima antesnaza zantamima pristi vahete'ma eritama vanuna zantamina, ese'ma rentrama ahesuna witifinti, witi ofama hu'zana osi'a enerita, zafa ragafinti'ene wainifinti'ene olivi masavenena erita vugahune.

“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 Hanki Aroni nagapinti'ma pristi eri'zama e'nerisnaza naga'mo'za mago'a Livae naga'ene mani'ne'za nege'nage'za, 10ni'a kevufinti'ma mago kevuma Livae naga'ma eme zamitere hanaza kevu ne'zana erigahaze.

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 Hagi ana ofama hu'zana witiramine kasefa wainine olivi masaveramina erita tagra maka Israeli vahe'motane, Livae naga'enena, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'zama e'neri'za zuomparamima nentazage'za, ana tava'onte'ma pristi vahe'ene mono nomofo kafante'ma kvama nehaza vahe'ene, zagamema nehaza vahe'ma nemasafinka erita ome antegahune.

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].”
