28 Ndambo mosusu ya bana ya Isalaele bayaki kosangana na bango: kati na Banganga-Nzambe, kati na Balevi, kati na bakengeli bikuke, kati na bayembi, kati na basali ya Tempelo mpe kati na bato nyonso oyo bakabwanaki na bikolo ya bapaya oyo ezalaki zingazinga na bango mpo na kotosa Mobeko ya Nzambe, elongo na basi na bango, bana na bango nyonso ya mibali mpe ya basi, bato nyonso oyo bazali na makoki ya kososola.
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gate-keepers, the singers, the temple-servants, and all those that had separated themselves from the nations of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding,
29 Bango nyonso basanganaki elongo na bandeko na bango, bakambi kati na bana ya Isalaele. Bandimaki mpe balapaki ndayi ete bakotambola kolanda Mibeko oyo Nzambe apesaki bango na nzela ya Moyize, mosali na Ye, mpe bakotosa mitindo, malako mpe bikateli nyonso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso; bongo soki batosi yango te, tika ete Nzambe alakela bango mabe!
Held firmly with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which was given through means of Moses the servant of God, and to observe and to do all the commandments of the Eternal One, our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;
30 Balobaki: « Topesi elaka ete tokobalisa lisusu te bana na biso ya basi epai ya bapaya oyo bazali elongo na biso to bana na biso ya mibali epai ya bana na bango ya basi.
And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;
31 Tokosomba lisusu te epai ya bapaya oyo bazali elongo na biso, biloko nyonso to mbuma nyonso oyo bakoya kotekela biso na mokolo ya Saba to na mikolo mosusu ya bule. Sima na mibu sambo nyonso, tokopemisa mabele mpe tokotikela bato baniongo na biso nyonso.
And that if the people of the land should bring wares or any provisions on the sabbath day to sell, we would not buy of them on the sabbath, or on [another] holy day; and that we would leave [the fields without reaping in] the seventh year, and [give up] every loan of hand.
32 Tozwi lisusu mokano ya kotosa mibeko, ya kopesa bagrame minei ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata mobu na mobu, mpo na misala ya Ndako ya Nzambe na biso,
And we established for us as one of the commandments to impose on ourselves [to give] the third part of a shekel in every year for the service of the house of our God;
33 mpo na mapa oyo batiaka na mesa liboso ya Yawe, mpo na makabo ya ble ya mokolo na mokolo, mpo na mbeka ya kotumba ya tango nyonso, mpo na makabo ya mikolo ya Saba, ya ebandeli ya sanza mpe ya bafeti oyo ekatama, mpo na makabo ya bule, mpo na bambeka ya bolimbisi masumu ya Isalaele mpe mpo na misala nyonso ya Ndako ya Nzambe na biso. »
For the shew-bread, and for the continual meat-offering, and for the continual burnt-offering, [for those of] the sabbaths, of the new-moons, for the appointed 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 Biso, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi mpe bato, tobetaki zeke mpo na kokata tango oyo libota na libota kati na biso ekomema likabo ya bakoni na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso, na mibu nyonso mpo na kopelisa moto na etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na Mobeko.
And we, the priests, the Levites, and the people, cast lots concerning the procuring of the wood, to bring it into the house of our God, unto the house of our fathers, at fixed times, year by year, to burn upon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law;
35 Tozwi lisusu mokano ya komema mobu na mobu na Tempelo ya Yawe, bambuma ya liboso ya bilanga na biso mpe ya nzete nyonso oyo ebotaka mbuma, mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe.
And to bring the first-fruits of our ground, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the Lord;
36 Tokomema lisusu bana ya liboso kati na bana na biso ya mibali, kati na bangombe na biso, kati na bameme mpe kati na bantaba na biso, na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso, epai ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka mosala kuna, ndenge ekomama na Mobeko.
And also the first-born of our sons, and for our [unclean] cattle, as it is written in the law, and to bring the first-born of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God;
37 Tokomema lisusu epai ya Banganga-Nzambe, na bibombelo ya Ndako ya Nzambe na biso, ndambo oyo eleki kitoko ya farine na biso, ya makabo na biso ya ble, ya mbuma ya nzete na biso nyonso, ya vino na biso ya sika mpe ya mafuta na biso. Tokomema mpe eteni ya zomi ya milona na biso epai ya Balevi, pamba te bango nde bazali na mokumba ya kokongola eteni yango ya zomi kati na bingumba nyonso epai wapi tosalelaka mosala.
And that we would bring the first portion of our dough, and our heave-offerings, and this of the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, to the priests, unto the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites; and that these same Levites should be the receivers of the tithes in all the cities of our land-tillage;
38 Nganga-Nzambe moko, mokitani ya Aron, asengeli kotambola nzela moko na Balevi na tango ya kokongola eteni ya zomi, mpe Balevi bakozala na mokumba ya komema eteni ya zomi ya eteni ya zomi, na bibombelo ya Ndako ya Nzambe na biso.
And that the priest the son of Aaron should be with the Levites, when the Levites receive the tithes; and that the Levites should bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure-house.
39 Bana ya Isalaele elongo na Balevi basengeli komema makabo na bango ya ble, ya vino ya sika, ya mafuta, na bibombelo epai wapi babombaka bisalelo ya Esika ya bule, mpe epai wapi Banganga-Nzambe basalaka mosala na bango mpe bakengeli bikuke elongo na bayembi batelemaka. Boye, tokotika Ndako ya Nzambe na biso te.
For into the chambers shall the children of Israel and the children of Levi bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, and there shall be the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the gatekeepers, and the singers: and that we will not forsake the house of our God.
