28 “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,

28 وَبَاقِي ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ وَٱلْبَوَّابِينَ وَٱلْمُغَنِّينَ وَٱلنَّثِينِيمَ، وَكُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱنْفَصَلُوا مِنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ، وَنِسَائِهِمْ وَبَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ، كُلِّ أَصْحَابِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ وَٱلْفَهْمِ،

29 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 obey carefully all the commandments, ordinances, and statutes of the LORD our Lord.

29 لَصِقُوا بِإِخْوَتِهِمْ وَعُظَمَائِهِمْ وَدَخَلُوا فِي قَسَمٍ وَحِلْفٍ أَنْ يَسِيرُوا فِي شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي أُعْطِيَتْ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ ٱللهِ، وَأَنْ يَحْفَظُوا وَيَعْمَلُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ سَيِّدِنَا، وَأَحْكَامِهِ وَفَرَائِضِهِ،

30 We will not give our daughters in marriage to the people of the land, and we will not take their daughters for our sons.

30 وَأَنْ لَا نُعْطِيَ بَنَاتِنَا لِشُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا نَأْخُذَ بَنَاتِهِمْ لِبَنِينَا.

31 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.

31 وَشُعُوبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ بِٱلْبَضَائِعِ وَكُلِّ طَعَامِ يَوْمِ ٱلسَّبْتِ لِلْبَيْعِ، لَا نَأْخُذُ مِنْهُمْ فِي سَبْتٍ وَلَا فِي يَوْمٍ مُقَدَّسٍ، وَأَنْ نَتْرُكَ ٱلسَّنَةَ ٱلسَّابِعَةَ، وَٱلْمُطَالَبَةَ بِكُلِّ دَيْنٍ.

32 We also place ourselves under the obligation to contribute a third of a shekel yearly for the service of the house of our God:

32 وَأَقَمْنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا فَرَائِضَ: أَنْ نَجْعَلَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ثُلْثَ شَاقِلٍ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ لِخِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا،

33 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.

33 لِخُبْزِ ٱلْوُجُوهِ وَٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ وَٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ وَٱلسُّبُوتِ وَٱلْأَهِلَّةِ وَٱلْمَوَاسِمِ وَٱلْأَقْدَاسِ وَذَبَائِحِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِكُلِّ عَمَلِ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا.

34 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.

34 وَأَلْقَيْنَا قُرَعًا عَلَى قُرْبَانِ ٱلْحَطَبِ بَيْنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ وَٱلشَّعْبِ، لِإِدْخَالِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِنَا، فِي أَوْقَاتٍ مُعَيَّنَةٍ سَنَةً فَسَنَةً، لِأَجْلِ إِحْرَاقِهِ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ،

35 We will also bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the house of the LORD year by year.

35 وَلِإِدْخَالِ بَاكُورَاتِ أَرْضِنَا، وَبَاكُورَاتِ ثَمَرِ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ سَنَةً فَسَنَةً إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،

36 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.

36 وَأَبْكَارِ بَنِينَا وَبَهَائِمِنَا، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ، وَأَبْكَارِ بَقَرِنَا وَغَنَمِنَا لِإِحْضَارِهَا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا، إِلَى ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلْخَادِمِينَ فِي بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا.

37 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.

37 وَأَنْ نَأْتِيَ بِأَوَائِلِ عَجِينِنَا وَرَفَائِعِنَا وَأَثْمَارِ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلزَّيْتِ إِلَى ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، إِلَى مَخَادِعِ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا، وَبِعُشْرِ أَرْضِنَا إِلَى ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ، وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُعَشِّرُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ فَلَاحَتِنَا.

38 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.

38 وَيَكُونُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱبْنُ هَارُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ حِينَ يُعَشِّرُ ٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ، وَيُصْعِدُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ عُشْرَ ٱلْأَعْشَارِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا، إِلَى ٱلْمَخَادِعِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْخَزِينَةِ.

39 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.”

39 لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي لَاوِي يَأْتُونَ بِرَفِيعَةِ ٱلْقَمْحِ وَٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلزَّيْتِ إِلَى ٱلْمَخَادِعِ، وَهُنَاكَ آنِيَةُ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلْخَادِمُونَ وَٱلْبَوَّابُونَ وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ، وَلَا نَتْرُكُ بَيْتَ إِلَهِنَا.
