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,
As for the rest of the people, who were priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, temple servants, and all who had separated themselves from the people of the neighboring lands and pledged themselves to the law of God, including their wives, their sons and their daughters, all who have knowledge and understanding,
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;
they joined together with their brothers, their nobles, and bound themselves with both a curse and an oath to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and obey all the commandments of Yahweh our Lord and his decrees and his statutes.
30 ary tsy hanome ny zananivavy ho vadin’ ny tompon-tany, na haka ny zananivavy ho vadin’ ny zanakai-lahy;
We promised that we would not give our daughters to the people of the land or take their daughters for our sons.
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.
We also promised that if the people of the land bring goods or any grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we would not buy from them on the Sabbath or on any holy day. Every seventh year we will let our fields 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 accepted the commands to give a third of a shekel each year for the service of the house of our 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.
to provide for the bread of the presence, and for the regular grain offering, the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, the new moon festivals and appointed feasts, and for the holy offerings, and for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, as well as for all the work of the house 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,
The priests, the Levites, and the people cast lots for the wood offering. The lots would select which of our families would bring wood into the house of our God at the appointed times each year, to be burned on the altar of Yahweh our God, as it is written in 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 promised to bring to the house of Yahweh the firstfruits grown from our soil, and the firstfruits of every tree each 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;
As it is written in the law, we promised to bring to the house of God and to the priests who serve there, the firstborn of our sons and of our herds and flocks.
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 the first of our dough and our grain offerings, and the fruit of every tree, and the new wine and the oil we will bring to the priests, to the storerooms of the house of our God. We will bring to the Levites the tithes from our soil because the Levites collect the tithes in all the towns where we work.
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, a descendant of Aaron, must be with the Levites when they receive the tithes. The Levites must bring a tenth of the tithes to the house of our God to the storerooms of the treasury.
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.
For the people of Israel and the descendants of Levi 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 priests who are serving, and the gatekeepers, and the singers stay. We will not neglect the house of our God.
