²⁸And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the doorkeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all they that had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters, every one having knowledge [and] having understanding,

²⁸Maloka, Harima, Bana.

²⁹joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which had been given by Moses the servant of God, and to keep and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;

²⁹Ary ny olona sisa, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita sy ny mpiandry varavarana sy ny mpihira sy ny Netinima, ary izay rehetra efa niavaka tamin'ny tompon-tany hanaraka ny lalàn'Andriamanitra mbamin'ny vadin'ireo sy ny zananilahy ary ny zananivavy, izay rehetra efa nahahaino,

³⁰and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:

³⁰dia samy nikambana tsara tamin'ny andriandahy rahalahiny ka niozona sy nianiana hanaraka ny lalan'Andriamanitra, izay nampilazaina an'i Mosesy, mpanompon'Andriamanitra, ary hitandrina sy hankatò ny didy rehetra izay nataon'i Jehovah Tompontsika mbamin'ny fitsipika sy ny lalàny;

³¹and that if the peoples of the land brought wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, we would not take it of them on the sabbath, or on [any] holy day; and that we would leave [the land uncultivated] the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

³¹ary tsy hanome ny zananivavy ho vadin'ny tompon-tany, na haka ny zananivavy ho vadin'ny zanakai-lahy;

³²And we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God,

³²tsy hividy zavatra amin'ny andro Sabata, na amin'izay andro masina, raha misy entana na vary entin'ny tompon-tany hamidy amin'ny andro Sabata, ary tsy hamboly zavatra amin'ny taona fahafito sady hamoy izay trosa rehetra.

³³for the bread to be set in rows, and for the continual oblation, and for the continual burnt-offering, [for that] of the sabbaths [and] of the new moons, for the set feasts and for the holy [things], and for the sin-offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and [for] all the work of the house of our God.

³³Ary nanao lalàna ho anay koa izahay handoa ny ampahatelon-tsekely isan-taona hanaovana ny fanompoana momba ny tranon'Andriamanitsika:

³⁴And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood-offering, to bring [it] into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law;

³⁴dia ho amin'ny mofo aseho sy ny fanatitra hohanina mandrakariva sy ny fanatitra dorana mandrakariva, ary ho amin'ny Sabata sy ny voaloham-bolana sy ny fotoam-pivavahana, ary ho amin'ny zava-masina sy ny fanatitra noho ny ota hanaovana fanavotana ho an'ny Isiraely, dia hanaovana ny raharaha rehetra momba ny tranon'Andriamanitsika.

³⁵and to bring the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year to the house of Jehovah,

³⁵Ary nanao filokana izahay ny amin'ny hanateran'ny mpisorona sy ny Levita sy ny olona ny kitay hazo, hitondranay azy ho ao an-tranon'Andriamanitra araka ny fianakavianay avy amin'ny fotoan'andro isan-taona, handoroana eo ambonin'ny alitaran'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika araka izay voasoratra ao amin'ny lalàna,

³⁶and the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, as it is written in the law; and to bring the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests that minister in the house of our God;

³⁶ary mba hitondranay ny voaloham-bokatry ny taninay sy ny voaloham-bokatry ny hazo mamoa rehetra ho ao an-tranon'i Jehovah isan-taona isan-taona;

³⁷and that we should bring the first-fruits of our coarse meal and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, new wine and oil, to the priests, into the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that they, the Levites, should take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.

³⁷ary ny lahimatoanay sy ny voalohan-teraky ny biby fiompinay, araka izay voasoratra ao amin'ny lalàna, ary ny voalohan-teraky ny ombinay sy ny ondry aman'osinay dia nekenay hohentina ho an-tranon'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, ho an'ny mpisorona izay manao fanompoam-pivavahana ao an-tranon'Andriamanitsika;

³⁸And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes; and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, into the chambers of the treasure-house.

³⁸ary mba hitondranay ho an'ny mpisorona koa ny voalohan'ny kobanay voafetafeta sy ny fanatitra asandratray sy ny voaloham-bokatry ny hazo rehetra sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny diloilo ho amin'ny efi-trano ao an-tranon'Andriamanitsika, ary ny ampahafolon'ny vokatry ny taninay ho an'ny Levita; fa ny Levita no mpandray ny fahafolon-karena eny an-tanàna rehetra akaikin'ny fambolenay.

³⁹For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the new wine and the oil, into the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the doorkeepers and the singers. And we will not forsake the house of our God.

³⁹Ary hisy mpisorona anankiray, taranak'i Arona, hiaraka amin'ny Levita, raha mandray ny fahafolon-karena izy; ary ny ampahafolon'ny fahafolon-karena dia ho entin'ny Levita miakatra ho ao an-tranon'Andriamanitsika, ho ao amin'ny efi-trano ao an-trano fitehirizan-drakitra.Fa ho ao amin'ireo efi-trano ireo no hitondran'ny Zanak'Isiraely sy ny Levita ny fanatitra asandratra, dia vary sy ranom-boaloboka ary diloilo, dia ho ao amin'ilay itoeran'ny fanaky ny fitoerana masina sy ny mpisorona izay manao fanompoam-pivavahana sy ny mpiandry varavarana ary ny mpihira; ary tsy hahafoy ny tranon'Andriamanitsika izahay.

⁴⁰Fa ho ao amin'ireo efi-trano ireo no hitondran'ny Zanak'Isiraely sy ny Levita ny fanatitra asandratra, dia vary sy ranom-boaloboka ary diloilo, dia ho ao amin'ilay itoeran'ny fanaky ny fitoerana masina sy ny mpisorona izay manao fanompoam-pivavahana sy ny mpiandry varavarana ary ny mpihira; ary tsy hahafoy ny tranon'Andriamanitsika izahay.
