²⁸Halkın geri kalanı, kâhinler, Levililer, kapıcılar, ezgi söyleyenler, tapınak hizmetkarları ve Tanrı'nın yasasına uymak için kendilerini ülkenin halklarından ayıranların hepsi, karıları, oğulları ve kızları, yani bilgi ve anlayış sahibi olan herkes,

²⁹kardeşlerini desteklediler ve Tanrı'nın kulu Musa'nın eliyle verilen Tanrı'nın yasasında yürümek, Rabbimiz Tanrı'nın bütün buyruklarını, hükümlerini ve kurallarını tutup yerine getirmek üzere kendilerini lanet ve ant altına soktular.

³⁰Kızlarımızı ülkenin halklarına vermeyeceğimize ve onların kızlarını oğullarımıza almayacağımıza söz verdik.

³¹Ülke halkları şabat günü satmak üzere mal ya da herhangi bir yiyecek getirdiğinde, şabat gününde ya da kutsal bir günde onlardan hiçbir şey satın almayacağız; yedinci yılda toprağı nadasa bırakacağız ve her türlü borcun tahsilinden vazgeçeceğiz.

³²Tanrımızın tapınağının hizmeti için kendimize yükümlülükler koyduk: Yılda bir kez didrahminin üçte birini vereceğiz;

³³huzur ekmekleri, sürekli tahıl sunusu, şabat günlerinin ve yeni ay törenlerinin sürekli yakmalık sunusu, bayramlar, kutsal şeyler, İsrail'i bağışlatmak için sunulan günah sunuları ve Tanrımızın tapınağının bütün işleri için.

³⁴Kâhinler, Levililer ve halk arasında, yasada yazıldığı gibi, Rabbimiz Tanrımızın sunağı üzerinde yakılmak üzere, ailelerimize göre her yıl belirli zamanlarda Tanrımızın tapınağına odun getirme görevi için kura çektik.

³⁵Toprağımızın ilk ürünlerini ve her ağacın meyvesinin ilkini her yıl Rab'bin tapınağına getireceğiz.

³⁶Yasada yazıldığı gibi, oğullarımızın ilk doğanlarını, hayvanlarımızın ilk doğanlarını, sığırlarımızın ve sürülerimizin ilk doğanlarını, Tanrımızın tapınağında hizmet eden kâhinlere, Tanrımızın tapınağına getireceğiz.

³⁷Hamurumuzun ilkini, her ağacın meyvesini, yeni şarabı ve zeytinyağını kâhinlere, Tanrımızın tapınağının hazine odalarına getireceğiz; toprağımızın ondalığını da Levilere vereceğiz. Çünkü köleliğimizin bütün kentlerinde ondalıkları toplayacak olanlar Levililerdir.

³⁸Levililer ondalığı toplarken, Harun oğlu kâhin de onlarla birlikte bulunacak; Levililer de topladıkları ondalığın ondalığını Tanrımızın tapınağına, tapınağın hazine odalarına getirecekler.

³⁹Çünkü İsrail oğulları ve Levi oğulları tahılın, yeni şarabın ve zeytinyağının sunularını bu odalara getirecekler; kutsal kaplar, hizmet eden kâhinler, kapıcılar ve ezgi söyleyenler de oradadır. Tanrımızın tapınağını ihmal etmeyeceğiz.

²⁸καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι τοῦ λαοῦ, οἱ ἱερεῖς, οἱ Λευῖται, οἱ πυλωροί, οἱ ᾄδοντες, οἱ ναθινὶμ καὶ πᾶς ὁ προσπορευόμενος ἀπὸ λαῶν τῆς γῆς πρὸς νόμον τοῦ Θεοῦ, γυναῖκες αὐτῶν, υἱοὶ αὐτῶν, θυγατέρες αὐτῶν, πᾶς ὁ εἰδὼς καὶ συνίων,

²⁹ἐνίσχυον ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ κατηράσαντο αὐτοὺς καὶ εἰσήλθοσαν ἐν ἀρᾷ καὶ ἐν ὅρκῳ τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν νόμῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὃς ἐδόθη ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ δούλου τοῦ Θεοῦ, φυλάσσεσθαι καὶ ποιεῖν πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου καὶ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ προστάγματα αὐτοῦ

³⁰καὶ τοῦ μὴ δοῦναι θυγατέρας ἡμῶν τοῖς λαοῖς τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν οὐ ληψόμεθα τοῖς υἱοῖς ἡμῶν.

³¹καὶ λαοὶ τῆς γῆς οἱ φέροντες τοὺς ἀγορασμοὺς καὶ πᾶσαν πρᾶσιν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου ἀποδόσθαι, οὐκ ἀγορῶμεν παρ’ αὐτῶν ἐν σαββάτῳ καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἁγίᾳ. καὶ ἀνήσομεν τὸ ἔτος τὸ ἕβδομον καὶ ἀπαίτησιν πάσης χειρός.

³²καὶ στήσομεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ἐντολὰς δοῦναι ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς τρίτον τοῦ διδράχμου κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν εἰς δουλείαν οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν

³⁴καὶ κλήρους ἐβάλομεν περὶ κλήρου ξυλοφορίας, οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ ὁ λαός, ἐνέγκαι εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, εἰς οἶκον πατριῶν ἡμῶν, εἰς καιροὺς ἀπὸ χρόνων, ἐνιαυτὸν κατ’ ἐνιαυτόν, ἐκκαῦσαι ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ὡς γέγραπται ἐν τῷ νόμῳ,

³⁷καὶ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν σίτων ἡμῶν καὶ τὸν καρπὸν παντὸς ξύλου, οἴνου καὶ ἐλαίου οἴσομεν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ δεκάτην γῆς ἡμῶν τοῖς Λευίταις. καὶ αὐτοὶ οἱ Λευῖται δεκατοῦντες ἐν πάσαις πόλεσι δουλείας ἡμῶν·

²⁸And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nathinim, and every one who drew off from the nations of the land to the law of God, their wives, their sons, their daughters, every one who had knowledge and understanding,

²⁹were urgent with their brethren, and bound them under a curse, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which was given by the hand of Moses, the servant of God; to keep and to do all the commandments of the Lord, and his judgments, and his ordinances;

³⁰and that we will not, [they said,] give our daughters to the people of the land, nor will we take their daughters to our sons.

³¹And [as for] the people of the land who bring wares and all [manner of] merchandise to sell on the sabbath-day, we [will] not buy of them on the sabbath or on the holy day: and we will leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

³²And we will impose ordinances upon ourselves, to levy on ourselves the third part of a didrachm yearly for the service of the house of our God;

³³the shewbread, and the continual meat-offering, and for the continual whole-burnt-offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moon, for the feast, and for the holy things, and the sin-offerings, to make atonement for Israel, and for the works of the house of our God.

³⁴And we cast lots for the office of wood-bearing, [we] the priests, and the Levites, and the people, to bring [wood] into the house of our God, according to the house of our families, at certain set times, year by year, to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law:

³⁵and to bring the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of the fruit of every tree, year by year, into the house of the Lord:

³⁶the first-born of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the first-born of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, for the priests that minister in the house of our God.

³⁷And the first-fruits of our corn, and the fruit of every tree, of wine, and of oil, will we bring to the priests to the treasury of the house of God; and a tithe of our land to the Levites: for the Levites themselves shall receive tithes in all the cities of the land we cultivate.

³⁸And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites in the tithe of the Levite: and the Levites shall bring up the tenth part of [their] tithe to the house of our God, into the treasuries of the house of God.

³⁹For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring into the treasuries the first-fruits of the corn, and wine, and oil; and there [are] the holy vessels, and the priests, and the ministers, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.
