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].
Nou menm, moun pèp Izrayèl la, prèt yo, ak moun Levi yo, gad pòtay tanp yo, mizisyen tanp yo, travayè tanp yo, ak tout lòt moun yo ki te wete kò yo nan mitan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a pou nou ka fè sa lalwa Bondye a mande nou an, ansanm ak madanm nou yo, pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo ki gen laj konprann,
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: ]
nou mete tèt nou ansanm ak frè nou yo ki chèf nan mitan nou, nou fè sèman pou nenpòt bagay rive nou si nou pa kenbe pwomès n'ap fè la a. Nou pran angajman n'ap mache dapre lalwa Bondye te bay Moyiz, sèvitè l' la, pou nou. Nou pran angajman n'ap obeyi tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kòmande nou pou nou swiv ansanm ak tout regleman ak tout lòd li ban nou yo.
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.
Nou pran angajman espesyalman pou nou pa marye pitit fi nou ak lòt moun k'ap viv nan peyi a, epi pou nou pa chwazi pitit fi moun sa yo pou marye ak pitit gason nou yo.
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).
Si moun sa yo pote machandiz osinon nenpòt pwovizyon vin vann nou jou repo a, nou p'ap achte anyen nan men yo jou sa a. Se menm bagay la tou si se yon jou fèt pou Seyè a. Chak sètan, n'a kite jaden nou yo poze, epi tout moun ki dwe nou, n'a kite dèt la pou yo.
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.
Men lòt obligasyon nou bay tèt nou ankò: Chak lanne, chak moun ap bay yon demi ka ons ajan pou depans y'ap fè pou sèvis Bondye nou an nan tanp lan.
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.
N'a bay tou pen pou yo mete apa pou Bondye yo, ofrann grenn pou chak jou yo, bèt pou yo boule chak jou pou Bondye yo, ofrann pou jou repo yo, pou fèt lalin nouvèl yo, ak pou lòt gwo fèt yo, manje pou yo mete apa pou Bondye yo, ofrann pou wete peche moun pèp Izrayèl yo, ak tout lòt bagay yo ka bezwen pou fè sèvis nan tanp Bondye nou an.
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].
Nou menm, prèt yo, moun Levi yo ak rès pèp la, men ki jan pou nou regle keksyon livrezon bwa pou tanp lan: Chak lanne y'a tire osò pou konnen kilè chak fanmi, yonn apre lòt, va pote bwa y'a bezwen pou boule sou lotèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan sa ekri nan lalwa Bondye a.
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].
Nou deside tou chak lanne, n'a pote nan tanp lan pou n' ofri bay Seyè a premye grenn nou rekòlte nan jaden nou ak premye fwi ki mi sou tout pyebwa nou yo.
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].
Jan sa ekri nan lalwa Bondye a, n'a pote bay prèt yo k'ap sèvi nan tanp Bondye nou an premye pitit gason nou yo lè yo fèt pou yo ka mete yo apa pou Bondye. Konsa tou, n'a pote ba yo premye ti towo manman bèf nou yo va fè ak premye ti belye manman mouton nou yo va fè ak premye ti bouk manman kabrit nou yo va fè paske se pou prèt yo yo ye.
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.
Konsa tou, n'a pote bay prèt yo kote y'ap viv nan tanp lan pen n'a fè ak premye grenn n'a rekòlte chak lanne yo, ansanm ak lòt ofrann fwi pyebwa nou yo va donnen, diven ki fenk fèt ak lwil oliv fre. N'a pote ladim tout rekòt n'a fè nan jaden nou bay moun Levi yo. Se yo menm ki va mache nan tout ti bouk nou yo pou ranmase ladim kote yo fè jaden.
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.
Yonn nan pret yo, ki soti nan branch fanmi Arawon an, va toujou ale avèk moun Levi yo lè yo pral ranmase ladim lan. Lèfini, moun Levi yo va pote mete nan depo pwovizyon tanp lan yon dizyèm nan tout ladim y'a ranmase a pou sèvis Tanp lan.
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].”
Se nan chanm depo tanp lan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ak moun Levi yo va pote tout grenn, tout diven ak tout lwil yo fèt pou bay la. Se la tou y'a mete tout veso ak tout lòt bagay ki pou sèvi nan tanp lan. Epitou, prèt desèvis yo, gad pòtay tanp yo ak mizisyen tanp yo va gen kote pou yo rete la tou. Se konsa nou pran angajman nou p'ap janm neglije kay Bondye nou an ankò!
