Exodus 38
1 Angbawnhaih hmaicam to shittim thing hoiah a sak, hmaicam loe taki palito oh; dong pangato sawk, dong pangato kawk moe, dong thumto sang.
[Several men helped] Bezalel to make the altar for burning sacrifices. They made it from acacia wood. It was square, (7-1/2 feet/2.2 meters) on each side, and it was (4-1/2 feet/1.3 meters) high.
2 Hmaicam taki palito nuiah takii maeto a sak boih; takiinawk doeh shittim thing hoiah a sak moe, sum kamling tui to pazut boih.
They 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]. They covered the whole altar with bronze.
3 Hmaicam nui ih laomnawk, maiphu sohhaihnawk, tui bawhhaih boengloengnawk, moi thunhaih cakoih baktih kaom sumnawk, sabaenawk hoi hmuennawk boih loe sum kamling hoiah a sak.
They made the pans in which to put the greasy ashes [from the animal sacrifices]. They also made the shovels for cleaning out the ashes. They made the basins and forks for turning the meat as it cooked, and buckets for carrying hot coals/ashes. All of those things were made from bronze.
4 Hmaicam ih vaizoek to sum kamling hoiah a sak moe, hmaicam tlim a um ah a suek.
They also made a bronze grating to hold the wood and burning coals. They put the grating under the rim that went around the altar. [They] made it so that it was [inside the altar], halfway down.
5 Sum kamling vaizoek ih taki palito pongah aputhaih thing to hawt hanah, sum kamling akhawnawk to a sak.
They made bronze rings in which to put the poles [for carrying the altar], and fastened one of them to each of the corners of the altar.
6 Aputhaih thing to shittim thing hoiah a sak moe, sum kamling tui to pazut.
They made the poles from acacia wood and covered them with bronze.
7 Aputhaih thing to hmaicam aqai ih akhaw thungah a hawt; to hmaicam to ranuih hoi atlim akhaw taqawt hanah thingphaek hoiah a sak.
They put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar. The poles were for carrying the altar.
8 Amkhuenghaih kahni im akunhaih thok taengah kamkhueng nongpatanawk mah patoh ih sum kamling hoi sak ih hmaidan to a lak moe, amsaehhaih sabae kathuk hoi angdoethaih akhok to a sak.
The altar was [hollow] like an empty box. It was made from boards [of acacia wood]. They made/cast the washbasin and its base from bronze. The bronze was from the mirrors that belonged to the women who worked at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
9 To pacoengah longhmaa to a sak; aloih bang longhma pakaa hanah dong cumvaito kasawk payang ih kahni to puu tlangqui hoiah a sak.
[Around the Sacred Tent] Bezalel and his helpers made a courtyard. To form the courtyard, they made curtains of fine white linen. On the south side, the curtain was (150 feet/46 meters) long.
10 Tung pumphaeto oh moe, sum kamling hoi sak ih akhok pahnuthaih akhaw doeh pumphaeto oh; toe tung pong ih cakoih baktih kaom sumnawk hoi cungnawk loe sum kanglung hoiah a sak.
[To hang the curtain], they made 20 bronze posts and 20 bronze bases, [one for under each post]. [To fasten the curtains to] the posts, they made silver hooks, and [they made metal] rods [covered with] silver.
11 Longhmaa aluek bang doeh dong cumvaito kasawk payang ih kahni hoi tung pumphaeto oh moe, sum kamling hoiah sak ih akhok pahnuthaih akhaw doeh pumphaeto oh; tungnawk pong ih cakoih baktih kaom sumnawk hoi cungnawk loe sum kanglung hoiah a sak.
They made the same kind of curtains, posts, bases, and hooks for the north side of the courtyard.
12 Niduem bangah loe dong qui pangato kasawk payang ih kahni to oh; tung hato oh moe, akhok pahnuthaih akhaw hato oh; tungnawk pong ih cakoih baktih kaom sumnawk hoi cungnawk loe sum kanglung hoiah a sak.
On the west side [of the courtyard], they made a curtain (75 feet/23 meters) long. They also made ten posts on which to hang the curtains, and ten bases, with silver hooks and [metal] rods [covered with] silver.
13 Ni angyae bangah doeh dong qui pangato oh.
On the east side, [where the entrance is], the courtyard was (75 feet/23 meters) wide.
14 Akunhaih khongkha maeto bang pakaa hanah dong hathlai pangato kasawk payang ih kahni to oh moe, tung thumto pacoengah, akhok pahnuthaih akhaw thumto doeh oh.
On each side of the entrance, they made a curtain (22-1/2 feet/6.6 meters) wide. On each side they [were hung from] three posts, and one base was under each post.
15 Khongkha hae bang hoi ho bang to pakaa hanah, dong hathlai pangato kasawk payang ih kahni to oh moe, tung thumto hoi akhok pahnuthaih akhaw thumto doeh oh.
16 Longhma kangkui ah payang ih kahninawk loe, puu ngan tlangqui hoiah a sak boih.
All the curtains around the courtyard were made from fine white linen.
17 Tungnawk pahnuthaih akhaw loe, sum kamling hoiah a sak; tungnawk pong ih cakoih baktih kaom sumnawk hoi cungnawk loe sum kanglung hoiah a sak; tung ranuih loe sum kanglung hoiah a sak boih; longhmaa ih tungnawk boih doeh sum kanglung hoiah a sak.
All the posts around the courtyard were made of bronze, but the tops were covered with silver. The posts were connected with [metal] rods [covered with] silver. The clasps/fasteners and hooks were made of silver.
18 Longhmaa akunhaih khongkha taengah payang ih kahni loe, rong kamiing, rong kamling hup, rong kathim puu ngan hoiah a sak; kahni sah kop kaminawk mah a sak o; kahni loe dong pumphaeto sawk moe, longhmaa ah payang ih kahni baktih toengah, dong pangato sang.
For the entrance of the courtyard, they made a curtain from fine white linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. The curtain was (30 feet/9 meters) long and (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high, just like the other curtains around the courtyard.
19 Tung palito oh moe, sum kamling hoi sak ih a khok pahnuthaih akhaw palito oh; tungnawk pong ih cakoih baktih kaom sumnawk hoi cungnawk loe sum kanglung hoiah a sak moe, tung ranuih to sui tui hoiah pazut.
All the curtains were made of fine white linen. They were supported by four posts, and [under each post] was a base made of bronze. All the posts around the courtyard were connected with [metal] rods [covered with] silver. The clasps/fasteners were made of silver, and the tops of the posts were covered with silver.
20 Longhmaa taeng boih ih takhinghaih sumnawk loe sum kamling hoiah a sak boih.
All the tent pegs to support the Sacred Tent and the curtains around the courtyard were made of bronze.
21 Hae loe Mosi mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, qaima Aaron ih capa Ithmar zaehhoihaih thungah, Levi kaminawk mah tarik ih kahni im, hnukung kahni im sak naah patoh ih hmuennawk ah oh.
Here is a list of the amounts of metal used to make the Sacred Tent. Moses/I told [some men from] the tribe of Levi to [count all the materials used and] write down the amounts. Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest, supervised those men.
22 Judah acaeng Hur capa Uri, Uri capa Bazalel loe, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih pae ih loknawk baktih toengah a sak.
Bezalel the son of Uri and grandson of Hur made all the things that Yahweh commanded Moses/me to be made.
23 Anih hoi nawnto toksah kami, Dan acaeng Ahisamak capa Aholiab loe, ban hoiah daengh moe, krang soi thaihaih tok, bantok congca sah kop kami, tlangqui kamiing, tlangqui kamling hup, tlangqui kathim puu ngan nuiah a aem takaekhaih sah kop kami ah oh.
Bezalel’s helper was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. Oholiab was a skilled engraver who made artistic things. He made fine white linen, and he embroidered designs using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. He also made other cloth.
24 Hmuenciim sak naah patoh han paek o ih suinawk boih loe, hmuenciim ih shekel tahhaih hoiah tah naah, talent pumphae takawtto hoi shekel cumvai sarih, qui thumto oh.
All the gold that was used to make the Sacred Tent weighed (2,195 pounds/1,000 kg.). They used the official standard when they weighed the gold.
25 Kroek ih rangpui kaminawk mah paek o ih sum kanglung loe, hmuenciim ih shekel tahhaih hoiah tah naah, talent cumvaito oh, shekel ah tah naah loe sang cumvai sarih, qui sarih, pangato oh.
All the silver that the people contributed when the leaders (took the census/counted the men) weighed (7,500 pounds/3,400 kg.). They also used the official standard when they weighed the silver.
26 Milu kroek tangcae, saning pumphaeto hoi ranuih bang kami boih mah, hmuenciim ih shekel tahhaih pongah, bekah maeto pacoeng, shekel ahap paek o boih, saning pumphae ranuih nongpa boih kami sang cumvai taruk, sang thum, cumvai pangato pacoeng, qui pangato oh o.
All the men who were at least 20 years old were counted, and they each paid the required amount. That was a total of 603,550 men.
27 Hmuenciim akhok pahnuthaih ahmuen hoi payang ih kahni tung pahnuthaih ahmuen to sak hanah, sum kanglung talent cumvaito patoh; akhok pahnuthaih maeto naah talent maeto, akhok pahnuthaih cumvaito hanah talent cumvaito patoh.
They used (75 pounds/34 kg.) of silver for making/casting each of the 100 bases to [put under the posts to support] the curtains of the Sacred Tent.
28 Shekel sang, cumvai sarih, qui sarih, pangato loe, tung pong ih cakoih baktih kaom sumnawk hoi cungnawk to sak hanah patoh moe, tung ranuih to kahoih ah a pathoep.
Bezalel [and his helpers] used the (50 pounds/30 kg.) of silver that was not used for the bases to make the rods and the hooks for the posts, and to cover the tops of the posts.
29 Paek o ih sum kamling loe, talent qui sarihto oh moe, shekel sang hnet, cumvai palito oh.
The bronze that the people contributed weighed (5,310 pounds/2,425 kg.).
30 Sum kamling loe kami amkhuenghaih kahni im thok tung pahnuthaih akhaw, sum kamling hmaicam, sum kamling vaizoek hoi hmaicam ah patoh ih hmuennawk boih sak naah patoh.
With the bronze, Bezalel and his helpers made the bases for under the posts at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They also made the altar for burning sacrifices, the grating for it and the tools used with it,
31 Longhmaa pakaahaih tung pahnuthaih akhawnawk, longhmaa ih khongkha tung pahnuthaih akhawnawk, kahni im taeng boih takhuekhaih sumnawk hoi longhmaa kangkui ah takhuekhaih sumnawk boih sak haih hanah doeh patoh.
