Wuok 30
1 “Los kendo mar misango miwangʼoe ubani gi yiend siala.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
2 Borne gi lachne nyaka bed maromre ma gin nus mita moro ka moro, to borne madhi malo nyaka bed mita achiel, kendo tungene nyaka bed gimoro achiel kode.
It is to be square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It is to be (3 feet/90 cm.) high. [Tell them to] make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood that the altar [is made from].
3 Baw wiye kod bethene duto kod tungene gi dhahabu maler bende losne ndiri mar dhahabu molwore.
[They must] cover the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. Put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
4 Los ratege ariyo mag dhahabu ne kendono mar misangono e bwo ndiri ka gimanyore ariyo koni gi koni mondo omak ludhe mitingʼego.
[They must] make two gold rings for carrying the altar. [They must] attach them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. These rings are for the poles for carrying the altar.
5 Los yiend siala kendo ibawgi gi dhahabu.
[Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
6 Ket kendono mar misango e nyim pasia molier e nyim Sandug Muma man e nyim Sandug Raparno kama abiro romoe kodu.
[They must] put this altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest and its lid. That is the place where I will talk with you.
7 “Harun nyaka wangʼ ubani mangʼwe ngʼar e kendono mar misango okinyi kokinyi koiko teyni.
Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
8 Nyaka owangʼ ubani kendo e seche momokoe teyni godhiambo mondo ubanigo owangʼ kinde duto e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka ne tienge mabiro.
and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
9 Kik ichiw kit ubani moro amora e kendono mar misango kata misango miwangʼo pep kata chiwo mar cham kendo kik ichiw misango miolo piny.
The priests must not burn on the altar any incense that I have not told you to burn, or burn any animal on it, or any grain offering for me, or pour any wine on it as an offering.
10 Harun nochiw misango mar pwodho tunge kendono dichiel e higa. Chiwo mar higa ka higa mar pwodhruok nyaka tim gi remb misango mar golo richo ni tienge duto mabiro. Kendono nobed maler moloyo ni Jehova Nyasaye.”
One time every year Aaron must perform the ritual for making this altar pure. He must do it by putting on its four projections some of the blood from the animal that was sacrificed (to remove the guilt of the people’s sins/so that the people would no longer be guilty for sins). This ritual is to be done by Aaron and his descendants throughout all future generations. This altar must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.”
11 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
12 “Ka ikwano jo-Israel, to ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka chul nengo ne Jehova Nyasaye mowarogo ngimane e sa ma ikwane. Eka onge masira mane ogore kuomgi ka ikwanogi.
“When your [leaders] (take a census of/count) the Israeli people, each man [who is counted] must pay to me a price to save his life. They must do this in order that no disaster will happen to them while the people are being counted.
13 Ngʼato angʼata moriwore gi joma osekwan nyaka chiw nus shekel kaluwore gi kweno mar shekel manie kama ler mar lemo, ma pekne romo kilo auchiel. Nus shekel mochiwo nobed mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Every man who is counted must pay to me (0.2 ounces/5.7 grams) of silver. They must use the official standard when they weigh the silver.
14 Jogo duto moriwore gi joma osekwan ma jo-higni piero ariyo kadhi nyime nyaka kel chiwono ne Jehova Nyasaye.
All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
15 Ka uchulo Jehova Nyasaye chiwo ma upwodhorugo, jo-mwandu kik kel mangʼeny moloyo midwaro, to jachan bende kik kel matin moremo kar midwaro.
Rich men must not pay more than this amount, and poor men must not pay less than this amount, when they pay this money to save their lives.
16 Kaw pesa mar pwodhruokno kuom jo-Israel kendo kete e tich mar Hemb Romo. Enobed Rapar ni jo-Israel e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka utimogo pwodhruok ni ngimau.”
Your leaders must collect this money from the Israeli people and give it to [those who will] take care of the Sacred Tent. This money is the payment for the lives of those who take care of the Sacred Tent, (to enable me not to forget them/and then I will remember to protect them).”
17 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
18 “Los karaya mar luok molos gi mula to gi rachungi miketoe karayano bende olos gi mula. Kete e kind Hemb Romo kod kendo mar misango bangʼe iol pi e iye.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make a bronze washbasin and a bronze base for it. [They must] put it between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
19 Harun gi yawuote noluok tiendegi kod lwetegi gi pi mogol e iye.
Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
20 Kinde ka kinde ka gidonjo e Hemb Romo, to nyaka giluokre gi pigno mondo kik githo. Bende kinde ka kinde ma gidhi kar kendo mar misango mondo gichiw misango miwangʼo pep ni Jehova Nyasaye,
before they enter the Sacred Tent and before they come to the altar to sacrifice offerings that will be burned on it. If [they do that], they will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
21 to nyaka giluok lwetgi gi tiendgi mondo kik githo. Mano nobedi chik mochwere momako Harun gi nyikwaye nyaka ni tienge duto mabiro.”
They must wash their hands and their feet, in order that they will not die. They and the males descended from them must obey this ritual throughout all generations.”
22 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 “Gik mangʼwe ngʼar monego ikaw gin: kilo auchiel mar mane-mane, kilo adek mar dalasini, gi obala ndago maromo kilo adek,
“[Tell the people to] collect some of the finest spices— (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (liquid myrrh/sweet-smelling sap named myrrh), (6 pounds/3 kg.) of sweet-smelling cinnamon, (6 pounds/3 kg.) of a sweet-smelling cane/reed,
24 kasia maromo kilo auchiel, kendo giduto nyaka pimgi gi rapim ma itiyogo e kama ler mar lemo, to bende ikel lita angʼwen mar mo zeituni.
and (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (cassia/a sweet-smelling bark named cassia). [Be sure] that they use the official standard when they weigh these things. Tell an expert perfumer to mix these with (one gallon/four liters) of olive oil
25 Riw gigi duto mondo ilos mor pwodhruok maler madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar mana kaka ngʼat molony e loso gik mangʼwe ngʼar loso. Enobed mor pwodhruok maler.
to make sacred oil for anointing.
26 Bangʼe ti kode ka iwirogo Hemb Romo, Sandug Muma mar Singruok,
Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
27 mesa gi gigene duto mag tije, rachungi taya gi gigene duto mag tich, kendo mar misango miwangʼoe ubani,
the table and all the things that are used with it, the lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar for [burning] incense,
28 kendo mar misango miwangʼo pep gi gik moko duto mitiyogo e kendono, gi karaya kod rachungi mare.
and the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned, along with its bases and the washbasin and all the things that are used with it.
29 Nyaka ipwodhgi mondo gibed maler moloyo kendo gimoro amora morere kuomgi nobed maler.
Dedicate them by anointing them, in order that they will be completely holy/sacred. Anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
30 “Wir Harun gi yawuote kendo pwodhgi mondo gitina kaka jodolo.
And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
31 Nyis jo-Israel kama, ‘Ma ema nobed mor pwodhruok maler ne tienge duto mabiro.
And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
32 Kik iole e dend ji bende kik ilos mo moro amora machal kaka olos mono. En gima owal kendo nyaka ikawe kaka gima owal.
You must not pour it on the bodies of people who are not priests, and you must not make other oil to be like it by mixing the same amount of those things. This oil is sacred, and you must consider it to be sacred.’
33 Ngʼato angʼata manolos mo machal kamano kata manowir ngʼato angʼata ma ok jadolo nongʼad kare oko.’”
I will consider that anyone who makes ointment like this [for any other purpose], and anyone who puts any of this ointment on someone who is not a priest, no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
34 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Kaw gik madum mangʼwe ngʼar kaka duogo, sare, mieny kod ubani maler, kendo pekgi nyaka bed maromre,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
35 kendo riwgi milosgo ubani mangʼwe ngʼar ma en tich jalos gik mangʼwe ngʼar. Ketie chumbi mondo obed gima ler mowal.
and tell an expert perfumer to mix them together to make some perfume. Add some salt to keep it pure and make it holy.
36 Kawe moko matin kuom gigo mondo ireg mayom kendo iketie Sandug Muma manie nyim Hemb Romo, kama abiro romoe kodu, kendo nobednu maler moloyo.
Beat some of it into a fine powder. Then take some of it into the Sacred Tent and sprinkle it in front of the sacred chest. You must all consider this incense to be very holy.
37 Kik ulos ubani moro amora e yo machal kama ne un uwegi, nikech en gima ler mowalne Jehova Nyasaye.
The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
38 Ngʼato angʼata manolos ubani e yo machal kamano mondo owinj tik mamit ma aa kuome nyaka ngʼad kare oko kuom ogandane.”
I will consider that anyone who makes incense like this to use it for perfume will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
