28 et reliqui de populo, Sacerdotes, Levitae, ianitores, et cantores, Nathinaei, et omnes qui se separaverunt de populis terrarum ad legem Dei, uxores eorum, filii eorum, et filiae eorum,
“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 omnes qui poterant sapere spondentes pro fratribus suis, optimates eorum, et qui veniebant ad pollicendum, et iurandum ut ambularent in lege Dei, quam dederat in manu Moysi servi Dei, ut facerent et custodirent universa mandata Domini Dei nostri, et iudicia eius et ceremonias eius,
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 et ut non daremus filias nostras populo terrae, et filias eorum non acciperemus filiis nostris.
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 Populi quoque terrae, qui important venalia, et omnia ad usum, per diem sabbati ut vendant, non accipiemus ab eis in sabbato et in die sanctificato. Et dimittemus annum septimum, et exactionem universae manus.
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 Et statuemus super nos praecepta, ut demus tertiam partem sicli per annum ad opus domus Dei nostri,
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 ad panes propositionis, et ad sacrificium sempiternum, et in holocaustum sempiternum in sabbatis, in calendis, in sollemnitatibus, et in sanctificatis, et pro peccato: ut exoretur pro Israel, et in omnem usum domus Dei nostri.
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 Sortes ergo misimus super oblationem lignorum inter Sacerdotes, et Levitas, et populum, ut inferrentur in domum Dei nostri per domos patrum nostrorum, per tempora, a temporibus anni usque ad annum: ut arderent super altare Domini Dei nostri, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi:
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 et ut afferremus primogenita terrae nostrae, et primitiva universi fructus omnis ligni, ab anno in annum, in domo Domini.
We will also bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the house of the LORD year by year.
36 et primitiva filiorum nostrorum, et pecorum nostrorum, sicut scriptum est in lege, et primitiva boum nostrorum, et ovium nostrarum, ut offerrentur in domo Dei nostri, Sacerdotibus qui ministrant in domo Dei nostri:
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 et primitias ciborum nostrorum, et libaminum nostrorum, et poma omnis ligni, vindemiae quoque et olei afferemus Sacerdotibus ad gazophylacium Dei nostri, et decimam partem terrae nostrae Levitis. Ipsi Levitae decimas accipient ex omnibus civitatibus operum nostrorum.
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 Erit autem Sacerdos filius Aaron cum Levitis in decimis Levitarum, et Levitae offerent decimam partem decimae suae in domo Dei nostri, ad gazophylacium in domum thesauri.
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 Ad gazophylacium enim deportabunt filii Israel, et filii Levi primitias frumenti, vini, et olei: et ibi erunt vasa sanctificata, et Sacerdotes, et cantores, et ianitores, et ministri, et non dimittemus domum Dei nostri.
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.”
