Eksodo 31
1 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose,
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “Taona, ndasankha Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa fuko la Yuda.
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 Ndipo ndamudzaza ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu kotero kuti ali ndi luso ndi nzeru zomvetsa zinthu ndipo akudziwa bwino ntchito zonse zamanja monga izi:
And I have filled him with the spirit of Elohim, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 Kulemba ndondomeko ya ntchito zaluso ndi kupanga zinthu zagolide, zasiliva ndi zamkuwa,
To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 kusema ndi kuyika miyala yokongola, kukonza zinthu zamatabwa ndiponso kugwira ntchito ina iliyonse yamanja.
And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 Ndasankhanso Oholiabu mwana wa Ahisamaki wa fuko la Dani. Ndiponso ndapereka nzeru kwa anthu aluso motero adzagwira ntchito zonse zimene ndakulamulira kuti zichitike monga izi:
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
7 Kupanga tenti ya msonkhano, bokosi laumboni pamodzi ndi chophimbira chake, ndiponso zonse za mu tenti,
The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
8 tebulo ndi zida zake, choyikapo nyale cha golide wabwino kwambiri ndi ziwiya zake zonse, guwa lofukizirapo lubani,
And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
9 guwa lansembe yopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse, beseni ndi nsichi yake,
And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10 ndiponso zovala zonse zolukidwa, zovala zopatulika za Aaroni wansembe pamodzi ndi za ana ake, zovala pamene akutumikira monga ansembe,
And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
11 ndiponso mafuta odzozera ndi lubani wonunkhira wa ku malo opatulika. Iwo azipanga monga momwe Ine ndinakulamulira.”
And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose,
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
13 “Uza ana a Israeli kuti azisunga Masabata anga. Ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro pakati pa inu ndi Ine pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zanu mʼtsogolomo, chosonyeza kuti Ine ndine amene ndimakuyeretsani.
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am YHWH that doth sanctify you.
14 “Motero muzisunga tsiku la Sabata chifukwa ndi loyera kwa inu. Aliyense amene adetsa tsiku la Sabata ayenera kuphedwa. Aliyense amene agwira ntchito iliyonse pa tsikuli ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu anzake.
Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Mugwire ntchito kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi Sabata, lopuma, tsiku lopatulika la Yehova. Aliyense amene agwira ntchito iliyonse pa tsiku la Sabata ayenera kuphedwa.
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to YHWH: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Aisraeli onse komanso zidzukulu zawo mʼtsogolo azidzasunga tsiku la Sabata ngati pangano lamuyaya.
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 Tsiku la Sabata lidzakhala chizindikiro chamuyaya pakati pa Ine ndi Aisraeli chosonyeza kuti Yehova analenga za kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi ndi kuti pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri analeka kugwira ntchito napumula.”
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 Yehova atamaliza kuyankhula ndi Mose pa phiri la Sinai, anamupatsa Mose miyala iwiri yaumboni, imene Mulungu analembapo ndi chala chake.
And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.
