28 "Nā, ko ērā atu o te iwi, ko ngā tohunga, ko ngā Rīwaiti, ko ngā kaitiaki kūwaha, ko ngā kaiwaiata, ko ngā Netinimi, me te hunga katoa i wehea i roto i ngā iwi o ngā whenua ki te ture a te Atua, ko ā rātou wāhine, ko ā rātou tama, ko ā rātou tamāhine, ko te hunga katoa i mōhio, i whai whakaaro; 29 piri tonu rātou ki ō rātou tuākana, tēina, ki ō rātou rangatira, ā, uru ana ki te kanga, ki te oati, kia haere i runga i te ture a te Atua i hōmai nei e ia arā e Mohi, e te pononga a te Atua, kia puritia hoki, kia mahia ngā whakahau katoa a Ihowā, a tō mātou Ariki, āna whakaritenga, me āna tikanga.

30 "Kia kaua hoki e hoatu ā mātou tamāhine mā ngā iwi o te whenua, kia kaua e tangohia ā rātou tamāhine mā ā mātou tama.

31 "Ā, ki te kawea mai e ngā iwi o te whenua ētahi taonga, tētahi kai rānei i te rā hāpati hei hoko, kia kaua e hokona tā rātou mea i te hāpati, i te rā tapu rānei; ā, me whakarere noa iho te whitu o ngā tau, kaua hoki e tohea te moni tārewa.

32 "I hangā anō e mātou he tikanga mā mātou kia hoatu e mātou te toru o ngā wāhi o te hekere i te tau mō te mahi o te whare o tō mātou Atua: 33 mō te taro aroaro, mō te whakahere totokore tūturu, mō ngā tahunga tinana tūturu o ngā hāpati, o ngā kōwhititanga marama, mō ngā hākari tūturu, mō ngā mea tapu, mō ngā whakahere hara, hei whakamārie mō Īharaira; mō te mahi katoa anō o te whare o tō mātou Atua.

34 "I maka rota anō mātou, ngā tohunga, ngā Rīwaiti, te iwi, mō te whakahere rākau kia kawea ki te whare o tō mātou Atua i runga i ngā whare o ō mātou mātua, i ngā wā i whakaritea o tēnei tau, o tēnei tau, hei tahu ki runga ki te āta a Ihowā, a tō mātou Atua, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture.

35 "Mō ngā mātāmua o tō mātou oneone, mō ngā mātāmua anō o ngā hua katoa o ngā rākau katoa, kia kawea i tēnei tau, i tēnei tau, ki te whare o Ihowā.

36 "Mō ngā mātāmua anō o ā mātou tama, o ā mātou kararehe, kia pērātia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture, mō ngā mātāmua anō o ā mātou kau, o ā mātou hipi, kia kawea ki te whare o tō mātou Atua, ki ngā tohunga e minita nei i te whare o tō mātou Atua.

37 "Kia kawea anō e mātou ngā mātāmua o ā mātou parāoa pokepoke, me ā mātou whakahere hapahapai, me ngā hua o ngā rākau katoa, o te wāina, o te hinu, ki ngā tohunga, ki ngā rūma o te whare o tō mātou Atua; me ngā whakatekau o ngā hua o tō mātou oneone ki ngā Rīwaiti, e riro ana hoki i a rātou, i ngā Rīwaiti ngā whakatekau i ngā pā katoa e ngaki ai mātou. 38 Nā, ko te tohunga, ko te tama a Ārona, hei hoa mō ngā Rīwaiti, ina tango ngā Rīwaiti i ngā whakatekau; ā, me mau e ngā Rīwaiti ngā whakatekau o ngā whakatekau ki te whare o tō mātou Atua, ki ngā rūma, ki te whare taonga. 39 Me mau hoki e ngā tama a Īharaira, e ngā tama a Rīwai, ngā whakahere hapahapai, arā te wīti, te wāina, te hinu, ki ngā rūma; kei reira hoki ngā oko o te wāhi tapu, me ngā tohunga hei minita, me ngā kaitiaki kūwaha, me ngā kaiwaiata.

"E kore hoki e whakarērea e mātou te whare o tō mātou Atua."

28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinim, and all they that had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one that had knowledge, and 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 Jehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes; 30 and that we would not give our daughters unto the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons; 31 and if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy of them on the sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego 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 showbread, and for the continual meal-offering, and for the continual burnt-offering, for the sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. 34 And we cast lots, 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; 35 and to bring the first-fruits of our ground, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all manner of trees, year by year, unto the house of Jehovah; 36 also the first-born 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 first-fruits of our dough, and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, the new wine and the oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites; for they, the Levites, take 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 heave-offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of 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.
