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.
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 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!
joined with their brothers, their nobles, and entered into a curse and into an oath, to walk in God’s law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of Yahweh 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 to the peoples 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 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 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,
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 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 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 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.
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 Yahweh our God’s altar, 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 kinds of trees, year by year, to Yahweh’s house;
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.
also the firstborn of our sons and of our livestock, as it is written in the law, 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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.
