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].
その餘の民祭司レビ人門をまもる者謳歌者ネテニ人ならびに都て國々の民等と離れて神の律法に附る者およびその妻その男子女子など凡そ事を知り辨まふる者は
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: ]
皆その兄弟たる貴き人々に附したがひ呪詛に加はり誓を立て云く我ら神の僕モーセによりて傳はりし神の律法に歩み我らの主ヱホバの一切の誡命およびその例規と法度を守り行はん
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.
我らは此地の民等に我らの女子を與へじ亦われらの男子のために彼らの女子を娶らじ
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).
比地の民等たとひ貨物あるひは食物を安息日に携へ來りて賣んとするとも安息日または聖日には我儕これを取じ又七年ごとに耕作を廢め一切の負債を免さんと
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.
我らまた自ら例を設けて年々にシケルの三分の一を出して我らの神の室の用となし
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.
供物のパン常素祭常燔祭のため安息日月朔および節會の祭物のため聖物のためイスラエルの贖をなす罪祭および我らの神の家の諸の工のために之を用ゐることを定む
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].
また我ら祭司レビ人および民籤を掣き律法に記されたるごとく我らの神ヱホバの壇の上に焚べき薪木の禮物を年々定まれる時にわれらの宗家にしたがひて我らの神の室に納むる者を定め
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].
かつ誓ひて云ふ我らの產物の初および各種の樹の果の初を年々ヱホバの室に携へきたらん
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].
また我らの子等および我らの獣畜の首出および我らの牛羊の首出を律法に記されたるごとく我らの神の室に携へ來りて我らの神の室に事ふる祭司に交し
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.
我らの麥粉の初われらの擧祭の物各種の樹の果および洒油を祭司の許に携へ到りて我らの神の家の室に納め我らの產物の什一をレビ人に與へんレビ人は我らの一切の農作の邑においてその什一を受べき者なればなり
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.
レビ人什一を受る時にはアロンの子孫たる祭司一人そのレビ人と偕にあるべし而してまたレビ人はその什一の十分の一を我らの神の家に携へ上りて府庫の諸室に納むべし
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].”
即ちイスラエルの子孫およびレビの子孫は穀物および酒油の擧祭を携さへいたり聖所の器皿および奉事をする祭司門を守る者謳歌者などが在るところの室に之を納むべし我らは我らの神の家を棄じ
