28 “Namoonni hafan kaan jechuunis luboonni, Lewwonni, eegdonni karraa, faarfattoonni, tajaajiltoonni mana qulqullummaatii fi warri Seera Waaqaatiif jedhanii saboota ollaa irraa kophaa of baasan hundinuu niitota isaanii, ilmaanii fi intallan isaanii kanneen waa hubachuu dandaʼan hunda wajjin
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the doorkeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all they that had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters, every one having knowledge [and] having understanding,
29 obboloota isaanii bebeekamootti dabalamanii akka Seera Waaqaa kan karaa Musee garbicha Waaqaa sanaatiin kenname sana eeganiif ajaja, seeraa fi labsii Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenyaa hundaaf ajajamaniif abaarsaa fi kakuudhaan waadaa galan.
joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which had been given by Moses the servant of God, and to keep and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;
30 “Nu akka warra naannoo keenya jiraatanitti intallan keenya hin heerumsiifne yookaan akka ilmaan keenya illee intallan isaanii hin fuusifne waadaa galla.
and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
31 “Yoo saboonni ollaa keenya jiraatan miʼa daldalaa yookaan midhaan gurguraa guyyaa Sanbataatiin fidan nu guyyaa Sanbataatiin yookaan guyyaa qulqulluu kamiin iyyuu isaan irraa hin bitannu. Waggaa torbaffaa kam iyyuu lafa qotiisaa boqochiifnee idaa hunda namaaf ni dhiifna.
and that if the peoples of the land brought wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, we would not take it of them on the sabbath, or on [any] holy day; and that we would leave [the land uncultivated] the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
32 “Akka waggaa hunda tajaajila mana Waaqa keenyaatiif jennee saqilii argannu harka sadii keessaa harka tokko kenninu itti gaafatamummaa ni fudhanna;
And we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God,
33 kunis buddeena minjaala irratti dhiʼeeffamuuf, kennaa midhaaniitii fi aarsaa gubamu kan yeroo yerootti dhiʼeeffamuuf, aarsaa guyyaa Sanbataatiif, kan ayyaana Baatii Haaraatii fi kan ayyaanota bebeekamoo, aarsaawwan qulqullaaʼoodhaaf, aarsaawwan cubbuu kanneen Israaʼeliif araara buusuuf dhiʼeeffamaniif, akkasumas hojiiwwan mana Waaqa keenyaa keessaa hundaafii dha.
for the bread to be set in rows, and for the continual oblation, and for the continual burnt-offering, [for that] of the sabbaths [and] of the new moons, for the set 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 “Nu, luboonni, Lewwonnii fi sabni yeroo itti tokkoon tokkoon maatiiwwan keenyaa akkuma Seera keessatti barreeffametti waggaa hunda keessaa yeroo murteeffametti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa irratti bobeessuuf kennaa qoraanii gara mana Waaqa keenyaa fiduu qabnu beekuuf ixaa buufanneerra.
And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, 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 upon the altar of Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law;
35 “Akkasumas nu mataa midhaan keenyaatii fi mataa muka ija kennuu hunda waggaa waggaadhaan gara mana Waaqayyoo fiduuf itti gaafatama fudhanneerra.
and to bring the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year to the house of Jehovah,
36 “Akkuma Seera keessatti barreeffametti hangafa ilmaan keenyaatii fi hangafa loon keenyaa, hangafa horii keenyaatii fi hangafa bushaayee keenyaa gara mana Waaqa keenyaa, luboota achi keessa tajaajilanitti ni geessina.
and the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, as it is written in the law; and to bring the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests that minister in the house of our God;
37 “Kana malees nu daakuu keenya kan bukeeffame irraa, kennaawwan midhaan keenyaa irraa, ija mukkeen keenyaa hunda irraa, daadhii wayinii keenyaa haaraa fi zayitii irraa mataa fuunee gara mankuusaalee mana Waaqa keenyaa lubootatti geessina. Amma illee sababii warri harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko walitti qaban Lewwota taʼaniif magaalaawwan keessa hojjennu hunda keessaa oomisha midhaan keenyaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko Lewwotatti geessina.
and that we should bring the first-fruits of our coarse meal and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, new wine and oil, to the priests, into the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that they, the Levites, should take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
38 Yeroo Lewwonni kennaa harka kudhan keessaa tokko walitti qabanitti lubni sanyii Aroon keessaa dhalate tokko isaan wajjin jiraachuu qaba; ergasii Lewwonni kennaa walitti qaban sana keessaa harka kudhan keessaa tokko gara mana Waaqa keenyaa, gara mankuusaa qabeenyaatti fiduu qabu.
And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes; and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, into the chambers of the treasure-house.
39 Sabni Israaʼelii fi ilmaan Lewwii kennaa midhaanii, kan daadhii wayinii haaraa fi kan zayitii gara mankuusaalee miʼi mana qulqullummaa kaaʼamu, iddoo luboonni tajaajilan, eegdonni karraa fi faarfattoonni taaʼanitti fiduu qabu. “Nus mana Waaqa keenyaa hin dagannu.”
For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the new wine and the oil, into the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the doorkeepers and the singers. And we will not forsake the house of our God.
