28 et reliqui de populo sacerdotes Levitae ianitores et cantores Nathinnei et omnes qui se separaverunt de populis terrarum ad legem Dei uxores eorum filii eorum et filiae eorum
The rest of the people, including the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and Temple servants, and everyone who had separated themselves from the people of the land to keep the Law of God, as well as their wives and all their sons and daughters who were old enough to understand,
29 omnis qui poterat sapere spondentes pro fratribus suis optimates eorum et qui veniebant ad pollicendum et iurandum ut ambularent in lege Dei quam dederat in manu Mosi servi Dei ut facerent et custodirent universa mandata Domini Dei nostri et iudicia eius et caerimonias eius
joined the leaders in swearing an oath to follow the Law of God given through Moses the servant of God, to pay attention to and carry out all the commands of the Lord our God, his rules and regulations.
30 et ut non daremus filias nostras populo terrae et filias eorum non acciperemus filiis nostris
“We promise not to allow our daughters to marry the people of the land, and not to allow our sons to marry their daughters.
31 populi quoque terrae qui inportant venalia et omnia ad usum per diem sabbati ut vendant non accipiemus ab eis in sabbato et in die sanctificata et dimittemus annum septimum et exactionem universae manus
When the people of the land bring goods and all kinds of food to sell on the holy Sabbath, we will not buy anything from them on the Sabbath or on other holy days. Every seventh year we will leave the land to rest, and we will cancel all debts.
32 et statuemus super nos praecepta ut demus tertiam partem sicli per annum ad opus domus Dei nostri
We accept the obligation to pay one third of a shekel for the operation of the Temple of God,
33 ad panes propositionis et ad sacrificium sempiternum et in holocaustum sempiternum in sabbatis in kalendis in sollemnitatibus et in sanctificatis et pro peccato ut exoretur pro Israhel 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 moon and yearly festivals, for the holy offerings, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, in short all that takes place in the Temple of our God.
34 sortes ergo misimus super oblatione lignorum inter sacerdotes et Levitas et populos 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 Mosi
We have allocated by lot among the priests, Levites, and the people, to determine who will bring wood to the Temple of our God to burn on the altar of the Lord our God at specific times during the year, as required by the Law.
35 et ut adferremus primogenita terrae nostrae et primitiva universi fructus omnis ligni ab anno in annum in domo Domini
We also promise to bring the first part of the produce from our fields and from every fruit tree to the Lord's Temple every 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
We will bring the firstborn of our sons and of our livestock and of our herds and flocks to the Temple of our God, to the priests who minister there, as required by the Law.
37 et primitias ciborum nostrorum et libaminum nostrorum et poma omnis ligni vindemiae quoque et olei adferemus sacerdotibus ad gazofilacium Dei nostri et decimam partem terrae nostrae Levitis ipsi Levitae decimas accipient ex omnibus civitatibus operum nostrorum
We will bring to the storerooms of the Temple of our God, to the priests, the first part of our coarse-ground flour, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees, and of our new wine and olive oil. We will also bring a tithe of our produce to the Levites, for the Levites are the ones who collect the tithes in all the farming towns.
38 erit autem sacerdos filius Aaron cum Levitis in decimis Levitarum et Levitae offerent decimam partem decimae suae in domum Dei nostri ad gazofilacium in domo thesauri
A priest descended from Aaron will accompany the Levites when they collect the tithe, and the Levites are to bring a tithe of these tithes to the rooms of the storehouse in the Temple of our God.
39 ad gazofilacium enim deportabunt filii Israhel 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
The people of Israel and the Levites are to bring the offerings of grain, new wine, and olive oil to the storerooms where the sanctuary objects are kept, where the ministering priests, the gatekeepers, and the singers are. We will not forget the Temple of our God.”
