28 “Nnipa no nkae a wɔyɛ asɔfo, Lewifo, aponanohwɛfo, nnwontofo, Asɔredan mu asomfo ne wɔn a wɔatwe wɔn ho afi abosonsomfo a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa, sɛnea wɔbɛsom Nyankopɔn, na wɔanyinyin a wɔte asɛm ase no,
The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, 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 wɔn nyinaa fi koma pa mu kaa ntam de kyekyeree wɔn ho. Wɔkaa ntam dii nsew sɛ, sɛ wobu Onyankopɔn mmara a ɔnam ne somfo Mose so de abrɛ wɔn no so a, nnome biara a Onyankopɔn de bɛba wɔn so no, wɔpene so. Wofi koma mu hyɛɛ bɔ sɛ, wɔbɛtɔ wɔn bo adi Awurade, wɔn Wura, ahyɛde ne ne mmara nyinaa so.
they 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 the LORD, and his ordinances and his statutes;
30 “Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛremma yɛn mmabea nware abosonsomfo a wɔwɔ asase no so, na saa ara nso na yɛremma yɛn mmabarima nso nware wɔn mmabea.
and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;
31 “Yɛsan hyɛ bɔ sɛ, sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so de aguade anaa atoko ba bɛtɔn no homeda anaa da kronkron bi a, yɛrentɔ bi. Na yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛrenyɛ adwuma biara mfe ason a ɛbɛba biara mu, na ka biara a Yudafo afoforo bi de yɛn no, yebetwa mu.
and if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy of them on the Sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
32 “Nea ɛka ho ne sɛ, yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yebetua Asɔredan afirihyiatow a wɔahyɛ yɛn sɛ yentua a ɛyɛ dwetɛ gram anan, sɛnea ɛbɛma wɔanya sika bebree de abɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho bra.
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 Eyi bɛboa ama yɛanya Daa Daa Brodo, na yɛatumi abɔ atoko ne ɔhyew afɔre bere ano bere ano, abɔ homeda afɔre ahorow, adi ɔsram foforo afahyɛ ahorow ne dapɔnna ahorow no. Saa ara na ɛbɛma yɛatumi abɔ kronkronyɛ afɔre ne bɔne ho afɔre sɛ mpata ama Israel. Afei, ɛbɛboa ama yɛanya nneɛma bi a ɛho behia ama yɛn Nyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho adwumayɛ.
for the show bread, and for the continual meal offering, and for the continual burnt offering, for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
34 “Yɛabɔ ntonto ahorow, ahu afe biara mu mmere a ɛfata sɛ asɔfo, Lewifo ne ɔmanfo no abusuafo de nnyansin ba Onyankopɔn asɔredan ho na wɔhyew wɔ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn afɔremuka so, sɛnea mmara no kyerɛ no.
We cast lots, 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 on the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law;
35 “Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, daa yɛde otwakan biara mu kyɛfa bi, sɛ ɛyɛ asaseduan anaa aduaba a efi nnua so no, bɛba Awurade Asɔredan mu.
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 the house of the LORD;
36 “Yɛpene so sɛ, yɛde yɛn mmabarima a wɔyɛ abakan ne yɛn anantwi ne yɛn nguan mmakan bɛma Onyankopɔn, sɛnea mmara no kyerɛ no. Yɛde wɔn bɛma asɔfo a wɔsom wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn Asɔredan mu no.
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 “Yɛbɛkora nnɔbae no nyinaa wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn Asɔredan adekoradan mu. Yɛde yɛn asikresiam a eye pa ara ne atoko nkae afɔrebɔde, yɛn nnuaba papa ne yɛn nsa foforo papa ne ngo bɛba.

and that we should bring the first fruits of our coarse meal, our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the new wine and the oil to the priests to the storerooms of the house of our God; and the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites take the tithes in all the cities where we work.
38 Ɔsɔfo a ɔyɛ Aaron aseni bɛka Lewifo no ho bere a wɔregyigye ntotoso du du no. Na biribiara a wobegye sɛ ntotoso du du no, Lewifo de mu nkyɛmu du mu baako bɛkɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu, na wɔde akosisi adekoradan no mu.
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, to the rooms, into the treasure house.
39 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔmanfo no ne Lewifo no de afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ atoko, nsa foforo ne ngo no begu adekorade kronkron a ɛbɛn asɔfo a wɔresom no, aponanohwɛfo ne nnwontofo no wɔ Asɔredan no mu. “Enti yɛbɔ mu hyɛ bɔ sɛ yɛrentoto yɛn Nyankopɔn Asɔredan no ase.”
For the children of Israel and the descendants of Levi shall bring the wave offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, to the rooms, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests who minister, and the gatekeepers, and the singers. We will not forsake the house of our God.
