And we will forgo the crops of the (O)seventh year and the (P)exaction of every debt.
32 “We also take on ourselves the obligation to give yearly (Q)a third part of a shekel[c] for the service of the house of our God: 33 (R)for the showbread, (S)the regular grain offering, (T)the regular burnt offering, the Sabbaths, the new moons, the appointed feasts, the holy things, and the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. 34 (U)We, the priests, the Levites, and the people, have likewise cast lots (V)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 on the altar of the Lord our God, (W)as it is written in the Law. 35 We obligate ourselves (X)to bring the firstfruits of our ground and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of the Lord; 36 also to bring to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God, the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, (Y)as it is written in the Law, and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks; 37 (Z)and to bring the first of our dough, and our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the wine and the oil, to the priests, (AA)to the chambers of the house of our God; and to bring to the Levites the tithes from our ground, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all our towns where we labor. 38 And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive the tithes. And the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers of (AB)the storehouse. 39 For the people of Israel and the sons of Levi (AC)shall bring the contribution of grain, wine, and oil to the chambers, where the vessels of the sanctuary are, as well as the priests who minister, and the gatekeepers and the singers. (AD)We will not neglect the house of our God.”

Ang Kasunduan
28 Kami, ang sambayanang Israel, ang mga pari, mga Levita, mga bantay-pintuan, mga mang-aawit at mga manggagawa sa Templo, at ang lahat ng iba pang lumayo sa mga dayuhang naninirahan sa aming lupain bilang pagsunod sa Kautusan ng Diyos, pati ang aming mga asawa at ang aming mga anak na lalaki at babae na pawang may sapat nang pag-iisip 29 ay nanunumpa kasama ng aming mga pinuno at nangangakong tutuparin ang buong Kautusan na ibinigay ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanyang lingkod na si Moises. Susundin namin ang lahat ng tuntunin at utos ng Diyos naming si Yahweh.
30 Hindi(A) namin papayagang mag-asawa ang aming mga anak sa mga dayuhang naninirahan sa aming lupain.
31 Kung(B) sila'y magtinda ng trigo o anumang paninda sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, hindi kami bibili sa kanila.
Tuwing ika-7 taon, hindi namin tatamnan ang mga bukirin at hindi na namin sisingilin ang mga may utang sa amin.
32 Taun-taon,(C) magbibigay ang bawat isa sa amin ng halos apat na gramong pilak upang makatulong sa gastusin para sa Templo. 33 Magkakaloob kami ng mga sumusunod para sa serbisyo ng pagsamba doon sa Templo: tinapay na handog, pang-araw-araw na handog na pagkaing butil, mga handog na susunugin bilang handog araw-araw, handog sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, Pista ng Bagong Buwan at iba pang kapistahan, iba pang handog, ang mga handog para sa kapatawaran ng kasalanan ng Israel, at iba pang kailangan sa Templo. 34 Kaming lahat ay magpapalabunutan taun-taon, ang mga pari, mga Levita at mga mamamayan, para malaman kung aling angkan ang magdadala ng kahoy na panggatong sa mga handog sa altar ni Yahweh na ating Diyos ayon sa itinatakda ng Kautusan. 35 Taun-taon(D) ay dadalhin din namin sa Templo ni Yahweh ang unang ani ng bukirin at ang unang bunga ng mga punongkahoy. 36 Dadalhin(E) din namin sa mga pari na maglilingkod sa Templo ang mga panganay naming anak na lalaki upang ilaan sa paglilingkod sa Diyos; gayundin ang panganay na anak ng baka, tupa at kambing para naman ihandog ayon sa itinatakda ng Kautusan. 37 Magdadala(F) rin kami taun-taon ng minasang harina mula sa unang ani ng trigo at iba naming mga handog na alak, langis ng olibo at lahat ng uri ng bungangkahoy. Magbibigay rin kami sa mga Levita ng ikasampung bahagi ng mga inani sa aming bukirin. Ang mga Levitang ito ang naglilikom ng mga ikasampung bahagi at magdadala ng mga ito sa Templo. 38 Sasamahan(G) ng mga pari mula sa angkan ni Aaron ang mga Levitang tagapaglikom ng ikasampung bahagi. Ang ikasampung bahagi nito ay dadalhin nila sa kabang-yaman ng Templo para gamitin doon. 39 Ang mga Israelita at ang mga Levita ang magdadala ng mga naipong trigo, alak at langis para itago sa mga bodega ng mga kagamitan sa Templo. Dito nakatira ang mga paring naglilingkod, ang mga bantay-pintuan at ang mga mang-aawit. Hindi namin pababayaan ang Templo ng aming Diyos.

28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;
29 They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
30 And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons:
31 And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
32 Also 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;
33 For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, 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.
34 And 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, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law:
35 And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the Lord:
36 Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God:
37 And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
38 And 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 unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.
