1 Bezaleli anapanga Bokosi la Chipangano lamatabwa amtengo wa mkesha. Kutalika kwake kunali masentimita 114, mulifupi mwake munali masentimita 69, msinkhu wake masentimita 69.
Then Bezalel made the [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It was (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
2 Iye analikuta bokosilo ndi golide wabwino kwambiri mʼkati mwake ndi kunja komwe. Anapanganso mkombero wagolide kuzungulira bokosilo.
He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.
3 Iye anapanga mphete zinayi zagolide ndi kuzimangirira ku miyendo yake inayi ija, mbali ina ziwiri ndi mbali inanso ziwiri.
He made/cast four rings from gold [and fastened them] to the legs of the chest. He put two rings on each side of the chest.
4 Kenaka anapanga mizati yamtengo wa mkesha ndi kuzikuta ndi golide.
He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.
5 Ndipo analowetsa nsichizo mʼmphete zija za mbali zonse ziwiri za bokosilo kuti azinyamulira.
He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, in order that the chest could be carried [by means of the poles].
6 Iye anapanga chivundikiro cha bokosilo cha golide wabwino kwambiri, kutalika kwake masentimita 114, mulifupi mwake masentimita 69.
He made a lid for the chest. That was [the place where Yahweh would] forgive people’s sins. It [also] was (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
7 Ndipo anapanga Akerubi awiri agolide osula ndi nyundo ndi kuwayika mbali ziwiri za chivundikirocho.
He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.
8 Iye anapanga kerubi mmodzi mbali ina ndi wina mbali inayo. Akerubiwa anawapangira limodzi ndi chivundikirocho mʼmapeto mwa mbali ziwirizo.
One of these was put at each end of the chest. The gold [with which they were made] was joined to the gold from which the lid [was made].
9 Mapiko a Akerubiwo anatambasukira pamwamba pa chivundikiro cha bokosilo kuti achiphimbe. Akerubiwo anakhala choyangʼanana, aliyense kuyangʼana chivundikirocho.
[He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.
10 Iwo anapanga tebulo la matabwa amtengo wa mkesha, mulitali mwake masentimita 91, mulifupi mwake masentimita 46, msinkhu wake masentimita 69.
Bezalel made a table from acacia wood. It was (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./44 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
11 Kenaka analikuta ndi golide wabwino kwambiri, ndipo anapanga mkombero wagolide mʼmbali mwake.
He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.
12 Iwo anapanga feremu yozungulira tebulo, mulifupi mwake ngati chikhatho cha dzanja, ndipo anayika mkombero wagolide kuzungulira feremuyo.
He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.
13 Iwo anapanga mphete zinayi zagolide ndipo anazilumikiza ku ngodya zake zinayi, kumene kunali miyendo yake inayi.
He made/cast four rings from gold and fastened the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].
14 Mphetezo anaziyika kufupi ndi feremu kuti azikolowekamo nsichi zonyamulira tebuloyo.
The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.
15 Anapanga nsichi zamtengo wa mkesha ndi kuzikuta ndi golide kuti azinyamulira tebulolo.
He made two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. These poles for carrying the table were then inserted into the rings.
16 Ndipo anapanga ziwiya za pa tebulolo zagolide wabwino, mbale ndi zipande, mitsuko ndi mabeseni zogwiritsa ntchito popereka nsembe za chakumwa.
He also made from pure gold all the things to be put on the table. He made the plates, the cups, and the jars and bowls to be used [when the priests] poured out wine [as an offering to Yahweh].
17 Iwo anapanga choyikapo nyale chagolide wabwino kwambiri. Tsinde lake ndi mphanda zake zinasulidwa ndi nyundo. Zikho zake zokhala ndi mphukira ndi maluwa ake zinapangidwa kumodzi.
[He] made the lampstand from pure gold. Its base and its shaft were hammered from [one large lump of] gold. [The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the petals [that decorated the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft were all hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.
18 Mʼmbali mwake munali mphanda zisanu ndi imodzi, zitatu mbali iliyonse.
There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
19 Zikho zitatu zokhala ngati za maluwa amtowo, mphukira ndi duwa zinali pa mphanda yoyamba. Pa mphanda yachiwiri panalinso zikho zitatu zokhala ngati za maluwa amtowo, mphukira ndi duwa. Ndipo mphanda zonse zisanu ndi imodzi zinali chimodzimodzi ndipo zinatuluka mʼchoyikapo nyalecho.
Each of the branches had on it three [gold decorations that looked like] almond blossoms. These decorations also had flower buds and [flower] petals.
20 Pa choyikapo nyalecho panali zikho zinayi zokhala ngati maluwa amtowo, mphukira ndi maluwa ake.
On the [shaft of the] lampstand there were four [gold decorations that also looked like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and [flower] petals.
21 Mphukira yoyamba inali mʼmunsi mwa nthambi ziwiri zoyamba za pa choyikapo nyale. Mphukira yachiwiri inali mʼmunsi mwa nthambi ziwiri zinazo. Mphukira yachitatu inali mʼmunsi mwa nthambi zina ziwirinso. Zonse pamodzi zinali nthambi zisanu ndi imodzi
On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.
22 Mphukira ndi nthambi zonse zinasulidwa kumodzi ndi choyikapo nyalecho ndi golide wabwino kwambiri.
All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
23 Iwo anapanga nyale zisanu ndi ziwiri, mbaniro ndi zowolera phulusa, zonse zinali zagolide wabwino kwambiri.
Bezalel also made seven small cups [for holding oil. He put one cup on top of the shaft and he put the others on top of the branches]. He made from pure gold the tongs [for removing the burned wicks] and the trays [in which to put the burned wicks].
24 Iwo anapanga choyikapo nyale ndi zipangizo zake zonse zagolide wabwino kwambiri wolemera makilogalamu 34.
He used (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the things that were used to take care of it.
25 Iwo anapanga guwa lamatabwa amtengo wa mkesha lofukizirapo lubani. Linali lofanana mbali zonse, mulitali masentimita 46, mulifupi masentimita 46, ndipo msinkhu masentimita 91, ndipo nyanga zake zinapangidwa kumodzi ndi guwalo.
From acacia wood, Bezalel made the altar [for burning] incense. It was square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It was (3 ft./90 cm.) high. He made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar was made of.
26 Iwo anakuta guwa lonse ndi golide wabwino kwambiri, pamwamba pake, mbali zonse ndi nyanga zake, ndipo anapanga mkombero wagolide kuzungulira guwalo.
He covered the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. He put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
27 Anapanga mphete ziwiri pansi pa mkomberowo ndi kulumikiza ku mbali zonse ziwiri kuti apisemo nsichi zonyamulira.
He made two gold rings for carrying the altar. Then he attached them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. The poles by means of which the altar was to be carried were to be inserted into those rings.
28 Anapanga mizati yamtengo wa mkesha ndipo anayikuta ndi golide.
He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold.
29 Iwo anapanganso mafuta opatulika odzozera ndi zofukiza za fungo lokoma kwambiri. Iyi inali ntchito ya mʼmisiri waluso lopanga zonunkhiritsa.
He also made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
