28 Ary ny olona sisa, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita sy ny mpiandry varavarana sy ny mpihira sy ny Netinima, ary izay rehetra efa niavaka tamin’ ny tompon-tany hanaraka ny lalàn’ Andriamanitra mbamin’ ny vadin’ ireo sy ny zananilahy ary ny zananivavy, izay rehetra efa nahahaino,
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 dia samy nikambana tsara tamin’ ny andriandahy rahalahiny ka niozona sy nianiana hanaraka ny lalan’ Andriamanitra, izay nampilazaina an’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra, ary hitandrina sy hankatò ny didy rehetra izay nataon’ i Jehovah Tompontsika mbamin’ ny fitsipika sy ny lalàny;
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 ary tsy hanome ny zananivavy ho vadin’ ny tompon-tany, na haka ny zananivavy ho vadin’ ny zanakai-lahy;
“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 tsy hividy zavatra amin’ ny andro Sabata, na amin’ izay andro masìna, raha misy entana na vary entin’ ny tompon-tany hamidy amin’ ny andro Sabata, ary tsy hamboly zavatra amin’ ny taona fahafito sady hamoy izay trosa rehetra.
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 Ary nanao lalàna ho anay koa izahay handoa ny ampahatelon-tsekely isan-taona hanaovana ny fanompoana momba ny tranon’ Andriamanitsika:
We accept the obligation to pay one third of a shekel for the operation of the Temple of God,
33 dia ho amin’ ny mofo aseho sy ny fanatitra hohanina mandrakariva sy ny fanatitra dorana mandrakariva, ary ho amin’ ny Sabata sy ny voaloham-bolana sy ny fotoam-pivavahana, ary ho amin’ ny zava-masìna sy ny fanatitra noho ny ota hanaovana fanavotana ho an’ ny Isiraely, dia hanaovana ny raharaha rehetra momba ny tranon’ Andriamanitsika.
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 Ary nanao filokana izahay ny amin’ ny hanateran’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita sy ny olona ny kitay hazo, hitondranay azy ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra araka ny fianakavianay avy amin’ ny fotoan’ andro isan-taona, handoroana eo ambonin’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàna,
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 ary mba hitondranay ny voaloham-bokatry ny taninay sy ny voaloham-bokatry ny hazo mamoa rehetra ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah isan-taona isan-taona;
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 ary ny lahimatoanay sy ny voalohan-teraky ny biby fiompinay, araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàna, ary ny voalohan-teraky ny ombinay sy ny ondry aman’ osinay dia nekenay hohentina ho an-tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, ho an’ ny mpisorona izay manao fanompoam-pivavahana ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitsika;
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 ary mba hitondranay ho an’ ny mpisorona koa ny voalohan’ ny kobanay voafetafeta sy ny fanatitra asandratray sy ny voaloham-bokatry ny hazo rehetra sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny diloilo ho amin’ ny efi-trano ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitsika, ary ny ampahafolon’ ny vokatry ny taninay ho an’ ny Levita; fa ny Levita no mpandray ny fahafolon-karena eny an-tanàna rehetra akaikin’ ny fambolenay.
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 Ary hisy mpisorona anankiray, taranak’ i Arona, hiaraka amin’ ny Levita, raha mandray ny fahafolon-karena izy; ary ny ampahafolon’ ny fahafolon-karena dia ho entin’ ny Levita miakatra ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitsika, ho ao amin’ ny efi-trano ao an-trano fitehirizan-drakitra.
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 Fa ho ao amin’ ireo efi-trano ireo no hitondran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ny Levita ny fanatitra asandratra, dia vary sy ranom-boaloboka ary diloilo, dia ho ao amin’ ilay itoeran’ ny fanaky ny fitoerana masìna sy ny mpisorona izay manao fanompoam-pivavahana sy ny mpiandry varavarana ary ny mpihira; ary tsy hahafoy ny tranon’ Andriamanitsika izahay.
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.”
