28 “Nnipa no nkaeɛ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ, aponoanohwɛfoɔ, nnwomtofoɔ, Asɔredan mu asomfoɔ ne wɔn a wɔatwe wɔn ho afiri abosonsomfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛsom Onyankopɔn, na wɔanyinyini a wɔte asɛm ase no,
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and every one who hath been separated from the peoples of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every knowing intelligent one,
29 wɔn nyinaa firi akoma pa mu kaa ntam, de kyekyeree wɔn ho. Wɔkaa ntam dii nse sɛ, sɛ wɔbu Onyankopɔn mmara a ɔnam ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose so de abrɛ wɔn no so a, nnome biara a Onyankopɔn de bɛba wɔn so no, wɔpene so. Wɔfiri akoma mu hyɛɛ bɔ sɛ, wɔbɛto wɔn bo adi Awurade, wɔn Wura, ahyɛdeɛ ne ne mmara nyinaa so.
are laying hold on their brethren, their honourable ones, and coming in to an execration, and in to an oath, to walk in the law of God, that was given by the hand of Moses, servant of God, and to observe and to do all the commands of Jehovah our Lord, and His judgments, and His statutes;
30 “Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛremma yɛn mmammaa nware abosonsomfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so, na saa ara nso na yɛremma yɛn mmammarima nso nware wɔn mmammaa.
and that we give not our daughters to the peoples of the land, and their daughters we take not to our sons;
31 “Yɛsane hyɛ bɔ sɛ, sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so de adwadeɛ anaa atokoɔ ba bɛtɔn no homeda anaa ɛda kronkron bi a, yɛrentɔ bi. Na yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛrenyɛ adwuma biara mfeɛ nson a ɛbɛba biara mu, na ɛka biara a Yudafoɔ afoforɔ bi de yɛn no, yɛbɛtwam.
and the peoples of the land who are bringing in the wares and any corn on the sabbath-day to sell, we receive not of them on the sabbath, and on a holy day, and we leave the seventh year, and usury on every hand.
32 “Deɛ ɛka ho ne sɛ, yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛbɛtua Asɔredan afirinhyia toɔ a wɔahyɛ yɛn sɛ yɛntua a ɛyɛ dwetɛ gram ɛnan, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma wɔanya sika bebree de abɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ho bra.
And we have appointed for ourselves commands, to put on ourselves the third of a shekel in a year, for the service of the house of our God,
33 Yei bɛboa ama yɛanya Hyiadan mu Burodo no, na yɛatumi abɔ atokoɔ ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ berɛ ano berɛ ano, abɔ homeda afɔdeɛ hodoɔ, adi ɔbosome foforɔ afahyɛ ahodoɔ ne dapɔnna ahodoɔ no.

for bread of the arrangement, and the continual present, and the continual burnt-offering of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for appointed seasons, and for holy things, and for sin-offerings, to make atonement for Israel, even all the work of the house of our God.
34 “Yɛabɔ ntonto hodoɔ, ahunu afe biara mu mmerɛ a ɛfata sɛ asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne ɔmanfoɔ no abusuafoɔ de nnyensin ba Onyankopɔn asɔredan ho na wɔhye no Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia so, sɛdeɛ mmara no kyerɛ no.
And the lots we have caused to fall for the offering of wood, [among] the priests, the Levites, and the people, to bring in to the house of our God, by the house of our fathers, at times appointed, year by year, to burn on the altar of Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law,
35 “Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, daa yɛde otwakane biara mu kyɛfa bi, sɛ ɛyɛ asaseduane anaa aduaba a ɛfiri nnua so bɛba Awurade Asɔredan mu.
and to bring in the first fruits of our ground, and the first fruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of Jehovah,
36 “Yɛpene so sɛ, yɛde yɛn mmammarima a wɔyɛ abakan ne yɛn anantwie ne yɛn nnwan mmakan bɛma Onyankopɔn, sɛdeɛ mmara no kyerɛ no. Yɛde wɔn bɛma asɔfoɔ a wɔsom wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu no.
and the firstlings of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and our flocks, to bring in to the house of our God, to the priests who are ministering in the house of our God.
37 “Yɛbɛkora mfudeɛ no nyinaa wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan adekoradan mu. Yɛde yɛn asikyiresiam a ɛyɛ pa ara ne atokoɔ nkaeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ, yɛn nnuaba papa ne yɛn nsã foforɔ papa ne ngo bɛba.

And the beginning of our dough, and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of every tree, of new wine, and of oil, we bring in to the priests, unto the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithe of our ground to the Levites; and they — the Levites — have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage;
38 Ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔyɛ Aaron aseni bɛka Lewifoɔ no ho wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔregyegye ntotosoɔ dudu no. Na biribiara a wɔbɛgye sɛ ntotosoɔ dudu no, Lewifoɔ de mu nkyɛmu edu mu baako bɛkɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu, na wɔde akɔsisi adekoradan no mu.
and the priest, son of Aaron, hath been with the Levites in the tithing of the Levites, and the Levites bring up the tithe of the tithe to the house of our God unto the chambers, to the treasure-house;
39 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔmanfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no de afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ atokoɔ, nsã foforɔ ne ngo no bɛgu adekoradeɛ kronkron a ɛbɛn asɔfoɔ a wɔresom no, aponoanohwɛfoɔ ne nnwomtofoɔ no wɔ Asɔredan no mu. “Enti, yɛbɔ mu hyɛ bɔ sɛ yɛrentoto yɛn Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ase.”
for unto the chambers do they bring in — the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi — the heave-offering of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, and there [are] vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests, those ministering, and the gatekeepers, and the singers, and we do not forsake the house of our God.
