28 Na, ko era atu o te iwi, ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ko nga kaitiaki kuwaha, ko nga kaiwaiata, ko nga Netinimi, me te hunga katoa i wehea i roto i nga iwi o nga whenua ki te ture a te Atua, ko a ratou wahine, ko a ratou tama, ko a ratou tama hine, ko te hunga katoa i mohio, i whai whakaaro;
“The rest of the people—the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, temple servants, and all who had separated themselves from the people of the land to obey the Law of God—along with their wives and all their sons and daughters who are able to understand,
29 Piri tonu ratou ki o ratou tuakana, teina, ki o ratou rangatira, a uru ana ki te kanga, ki te oati, kia haere i runga i te ture a te Atua i homai nei e ia, ara e Mohi, e te pononga a te Atua, kia puritia hoki, kia mahia nga whakahau katoa a Ihow a, a to matou Ariki, ana whakaritenga, me ana tikanga;
hereby join with their noble brothers and commit themselves with a sworn oath to follow the Law of God given through His servant Moses and to carefully obey all the commandments, ordinances, and statutes of the LORD our Lord.
30 Kia kaua hoki e hoatu a matou tamahine ma nga iwi o te whenua, kia kaua e tangohia a ratou tamahine ma a matou tama:
We will not give our daughters in marriage to the people of the land, and we will not take their daughters for our sons.
31 A, ki te kawea mai e nga iwi o te whenua etahi taonga, tetahi kai ranei i te ra hapati hei hoko, kia kaua e hokona ta ratou mea i te hapati, i te ra tapu ranei; a me whakarere noa iho te whitu o nga tau, kaua hoki e tohea te moni tarewa.
When the people of the land bring merchandise or any kind of grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we will not buy from them on a Sabbath or holy day. Every seventh year we will let the fields lie fallow, and will cancel every debt.
32 I hanga ano e matou he tikanga ma matou kia hoatu e matou te toru o nga wahi o te hekere i te tau mo te mahi o te whare o to matou Atua;
We also place ourselves under the obligation to contribute a third of a shekel yearly for the service of the house of our God:
33 Mo te taro aroaro, mo te whakahere totokore tuturu, mo nga tahunga tinana tuturu o nga hapati, o nga kowhititanga marama, mo nga hakari tuturu, mo nga mea tapu, mo nga whakahere hara, hei whakamarie mo Iharaira; mo te mahi katoa ano o te whare o to matou Atua.
for the showbread, for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings, for the Sabbath offerings, for the New Moons and appointed feasts, for the holy offerings, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the duties of the house of our God.
34 I maka rota ano matou, nga tohunga, nga Riwaiti, te iwi, mo te whakahere rakau kia kawea ki te whare o to matou Atua i runga i nga whare o o matou matua, i nga wa i whakaritea o tenei tau, o tenei tau, hei tahu ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa, a to matou Atua, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture;
We have cast lots among the priests, Levites, and people for the donation of wood by our families at the appointed times each year. They are to bring it to the house of our God to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the Law.
35 Mo nga matamua o to matou oneone, mo nga matamua ano o nga hua katoa o nga rakau katoa, kia kawea i tenei tau, i tenei tau, ki te whare o Ihowa;
We will also bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the house of the LORD year by year.
36 Mo nga matamua ano o a matou tama, o a matou kararehe, kia peratia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture, mo nga matamua ano o a matou kau, o a matou hipi, kia kawea ki te whare o to matou Atua, ki nga tohunga e minita nei i te whare o to matou Atua:
And we will bring the firstborn of our sons and our livestock, as it is written in the Law, and will bring the firstborn of our herds and flocks to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God.
37 Kia kawea ano e matou nga matamua o a matou paraoa pokepoke, me a matou whakahere hapahapai, me nga hua o nga rakau katoa, o te waina, o te hinu, ki nga tohunga, ki nga ruma o te whare o to matou Atua; me nga whakatekau o nga hua o to matou oneo ne ki nga Riwaiti, e riro ana hoki i a ratou, i nga Riwaiti nga whakatekau i nga pa katoa e ngaki ai matou.
Moreover, we will bring to the priests at the storerooms of the house of our God the firstfruits of our dough, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees, and of our new wine and oil. A tenth of our produce belongs to the Levites, so that they shall receive tithes in all the towns where we labor.
38 Na ko te tohunga, ko te tama a Arona, hei hoa mo nga Riwaiti, ina tango nga Riwaiti i nga whakataekau; a me mau e nga Riwaiti nga whakatekau o nga whakatekau ki te whare o to matou Atua, ki nga ruma, ki te whare taonga.
A priest of Aaron’s line is to accompany the Levites when they collect the tenth, and the Levites are to bring a tenth of these tithes to the storerooms of the treasury in the house of our God.
39 Me mau hoki e nga tama a Iharaira, e nga tama a Riwai, nga whakahere hapahapai, ara te witi, te waina, te hinu, ki nga ruma; kei reira hoki nga oko o te wahi tapu, me nga tohunga hei minita, me nga kaitiaki kuwaha, me nga kaiwaiata; e kore hoki e whakarerea e matou te whare o to matou Atua.
For the Israelites and the Levites 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 ministering priests, the gatekeepers, and the singers stay. Thus we will not neglect the house of our God.”
