28 Then the rest of the people also made a solemn agreement. The people who did it included priests, temple gatekeepers, singers, and temple workers. They also included all the men from other countries who had separated themselves from the other foreigners living in Israel. These men, along with their wives, their sons and daughters who were old enough to understand [what they were doing, were people who wanted to obey God’s laws].
Und das andere Volk, Priester, Leviten, Torhüter, Sänger, Nethinim und alle, die sich von den Völkern in Landen gesondert hatten zum Gesetz Gottes, samt ihren Weibern, Söhnen und Töchtern, alle, die es verstehen konnten,
29 They all joined with their leaders in making this solemn agreement. They agreed to obey all the laws that God had given to Moses. They agreed to obey everything that Yahweh our God had commanded, and all his regulations and instructions. [And this is what they promised to do: ]
und ihre Mächtigen nahmen's an für ihre Brüder. Und sie kamen, daß sie schwuren und sich mit Eide verpflichteten, zu wandeln im Gesetz Gottes, das durch Mose, den Knecht Gottes, gegeben ist, daß sie hielten und tun wollten nach allen Geboten, Rechten und Sitten des HERRN, unsers HERRSChers,
30 “We will not allow our daughters to marry people who live in this land [who do not worship Yahweh], and we will not allow our sons to marry them.
und daß wir den Völkern im Lande unsere Töchter nicht geben, noch ihre Töchter unsern Söhnen nehmen wollten;
31 “If people from other countries who live in this land bring us grain or other things to sell to us on Sabbath days or any other sacred day, we will not buy anything from them. And in every seventh year, we will not plant any crops, and we will (cancel all debts/declare that people will no longer have to pay back what they owe us).
auch wenn die Völker im Lande am Sabbattage bringen Ware und allerlei Fütterung zu verkaufen, daß wir's nicht von ihnen nehmen wollten auf den Sabbat und heiligen Tagen; und daß wir das siebente Jahr allerhand Beschwerung frei lassen wollten.
32 “We also promise that every year we will pay (one-eighth of an ounce/4 grams) of silver for the work of taking care of the temple.
Und legten ein Gebot auf uns, daß wir jährlich einen dritten Teil eines Sekels gäben zum Dienst im Hause unsers Gottes,
33 With that money they can buy these things: The sacred bread [that is placed before God], the grain that is burned [on the altar] each day, the lambs that were completely burned [on the altar], the sacred offerings for the Sabbath days and for celebrating each new moon and other festivals that God told us to celebrate, and other offerings that are dedicated to God, the animals to be sacrificed to atone for the sins of the Israeli people, and anything else that is needed for the work of taking care of the temple.
nämlich zu Schaubrot, zu täglichem Speisopfer, zu täglichem Brandopfer des Sabbats, der Neumonden und Festtage und zu dem Geheiligten und zu Sündopfer, damit Israel versöhnet werde, und zu allem Geschäfte im Hause unsers Gottes.
34 “Each year the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi who help the priests, and the rest of us will (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine [for that year] which clans will provide wood to burn on the altar the sacrifices that are offered to Yahweh our God, in order to do what was written in the laws [God gave to Moses].
Und wir warfen das Los unter den Priestern, Leviten und dem Volk um das Opfer des Holzes, das man zum Hause unsers Gottes bringen sollte jährlich, nach den Häusern unserer Väter, auf bestimmte Zeit, zu brennen auf dem Altar des HERRN, unsers Gottes, wie es im Gesetz geschrieben stehet,
35 “We promise that each year each family will take to the temple an offering from the first grain that we harvest and from the first fruit that grows on our trees [that year].
und jährlich zu bringen die Erstlinge unsers Landes und die Erstlinge aller Früchte auf allen Bäumen zum Hause des HERRN
36 “Also, we will take to the priests at the temple our firstborn sons and dedicate them to God. And we will also bring firstborn calves and lambs and baby goats [to be offered as sacrifices]. That is what is written in God’s laws [that we must do].
und die Erstlinge unserer Söhne und unsers Viehes, wie es im Gesetz geschrieben stehet, und die Erstlinge unserer Rinder und unserer Schafe; daß wir das alles zum Hause unsers Gottes bringen sollen den Priestern, die im Hause unsers Gottes dienen.
37 “We will also take to the priests at the temple the flour made from the first grain [that we harvest each year], and our other offerings of wine, [olive] oil, and fruit. We will also take to the descendants of Levi [who help the priests] the tithes/10% of [the crops that we grow on] our land, because they are the ones who collect the tithes in all the villages where we work/live.
Auch sollen wir bringen die Erstlinge unsers Teiges und unserer Hebe und die Früchte allerlei Bäume, Most und Öl den Priestern in die Kasten am Hause unsers Gottes und den Zehnten unsers Landes den Leviten, daß die Leviten den Zehnten haben in allen Städten unsers Ackerwerks.
38 The priests who are descendants of Aaron will be with the [other] descendants of Levi and supervise them when they collect the tithes. Then the descendants of Levi must take 10% of the things that people bring and put them in the storerooms in the temple.
Und der Priester, der Sohn Aarons, soll mit den Leviten auch an dem Zehnten der Leviten haben, daß die Leviten den Zehnten ihrer Zehnten heraufbringen zum Hause unsers Gottes in die Kasten im Schatzhause.
39 The descendants of Levi and [some of] the other Israeli people must take 10% of the offerings of grain, wine, and [olive] oil to the storerooms where the various utensils that are used in the temple are kept. That is the place where the priests who are serving at that time, the temple guards, and those who sing in the temple choir live. [We promise that] we will not neglect [taking care of the temple of our God].”
Denn die Kinder Israel und die Kinder Levi sollen die Hebe des Getreides, Mosts und Öls herauf in die Kasten bringen. Daselbst sind die Gefäße des Heiligtums und die Priester, die da dienen, und die Torhüter und Sänger, daß wir das Haus unsers Gottes nicht verlassen.
