Exodus 37
1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits, and its width a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height.
Bezaleli akatengeneza Sanduku la mbao za mshita: urefu wake ulikuwa dhiraa mbili na nusu, upana wake dhiraa moja na nusu, na kimo chake dhiraa moja na nusu.
2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold for it around it.
Akalifunika kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulizungushia ukingo wa dhahabu.
3 He cast four rings of gold for it in its four feet—two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.
Akasubu pete nne za dhahabu na kuzifungia kwenye miguu yake minne, pete mbili kwa upande mmoja na pete mbili kwa upande mwingine.
4 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
Kisha akatengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu.
5 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
Akaiingiza hiyo mipiko kwenye zile pete katika pande mbili za Sanduku ili kulibeba.
6 He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and a cubit and a half its width.
Akatengeneza kifuniko cha upatanisho kwa dhahabu safi: urefu wake ulikuwa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wake dhiraa moja na nusu.
7 He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at the two ends of the mercy seat:
Kisha akatengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.
8 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.
Akatengeneza kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho mmoja, na kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho mwingine; akawatengeneza kuwa kitu kimoja na hicho kifuniko katika miisho hiyo miwili.
9 The cherubim spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
Makerubi hao walikuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, wakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao walielekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.
10 He made the table of acacia wood. Its length was two cubits, and its width was a cubit, and its height was a cubit and a half.
Akatengeneza meza ya mbao za mshita yenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili, upana wa dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.
11 He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it.
Kisha akaifunika kwa dhahabu safi, na kuitengenezea ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
12 He made a border of a hand’s width around it, and made a golden molding on its border around it.
Pia akatengeneza upapi wenye upana wa nyanda nne, na kuufanyia ule upapi ukingo wa dhahabu kuuzunguka pande zote.
13 He cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that were on its four feet.
Akasubu pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili ya meza hiyo, na kuzifungia kwenye pembe nne, pale penye miguu yake minne.
14 The rings were close by the border, the places for the poles to carry the table.
Pete hizo ziliwekwa karibu na ukingo ule ili kuishikilia ile mipiko iliyotumika kuibebea hiyo meza.
15 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.
Mipiko hiyo ya kubebea meza ilitengenezwa kwa mti wa mshita, na ilikuwa imefunikwa kwa dhahabu.
16 He made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes, its spoons, its bowls, and its pitchers with which to pour out, of pure gold.
Vyombo vyote vya mezani vilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu safi: yaani sahani zake, masinia, na bakuli na bilauri zake kwa ajili ya kumiminia sadaka za vinywaji.
17 He made the lamp stand of pure gold. He made the lamp stand of beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers were of one piece with it.
Akatengeneza kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi iliyofuliwa vizuri katika kitako chake na ufito wake; vikombe vyake vilivyofanana na ua, matovu na maua vilikuwa kitu kimoja.
18 There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lamp stand out of its one side, and three branches of the lamp stand out of its other side:
Matawi sita yalitokeza kuanzia ule ufito wa katikati wa kinara cha taa: matawi matatu upande mmoja na matatu upande mwingine.
19 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower; so for the six branches going out of the lamp stand.
Vikombe vitatu vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yenye matovu na maua vilikuwa katika tawi moja, vikombe vitatu katika tawi jingine, na vivyo hivyo kwa matawi yote sita yaliyotokeza kwenye kile kinara cha taa.
20 In the lamp stand were four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;
Juu ya kinara chenyewe kulikuwepo na vikombe vinne vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yakiwa na matovu yake na maua yake.
21 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.
Tovu moja lilikuwa chini ya jozi ya kwanza ya matawi yaliyotokeza kwenye kinara cha taa, tovu la pili chini ya jozi ya pili, nalo tovu la tatu chini ya jozi ya tatu, yaani, matawi sita kwa jumla.
22 Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole thing was one beaten work of pure gold.
Matovu na matawi yote yalikuwa kitu kimoja na kile kinara cha taa, yakiwa yamefuliwa kwa dhahabu safi.
23 He made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, of pure gold.
Akatengeneza taa zake saba, na pia mikasi ya kusawazishia tambi, pamoja na masinia, zote kwa dhahabu safi.
24 He made it of a talent of pure gold, with all its vessels.
Akatengeneza kinara hicho cha taa pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote kutumia talanta moja ya dhahabu safi.
25 He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. It was square: its length was a cubit, and its width a cubit. Its height was two cubits. Its horns were of one piece with it.
Akatengeneza madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba kwa mbao za mshita. Ilikuwa ya mraba, urefu na upana wake dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa mbili, nazo pembe zake zilikuwa kitu kimoja nayo.
26 He overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides around it, and its horns. He made a gold molding around it.
Akafunika hayo madhabahu juu na pande zote na pia zile pembe zake kwa dhahabu safi, na akayafanyizia ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka.
27 He made two golden rings for it under its molding crown, on its two ribs, on its two sides, for places for poles with which to carry it.
Akatengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu kwa ajili ya madhabahu chini ya huo ukingo, zikiwa mbili kila upande, za kushikilia hiyo mipiko iliyotumika kuyabebea madhabahu.
28 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Akatengeneza mipiko kwa miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu.
29 He made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer.
Pia akatengeneza mafuta matakatifu ya upako, na uvumba safi wenye harufu nzuri, kazi ya mtengeneza manukato.
