Exodus 25
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Yehova ananena kwa Mose kuti,
2 “Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him.
“Uza Aisraeli kuti abweretse chopereka kwa Ine. Iwe ulandire choperekacho mʼmalo mwanga kuchokera kwa munthu amene akupereka mwakufuna kwake.
3 This is the offering you are to accept from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
Zopereka zimene ulandire kwa anthuwo ndi izi: Golide, siliva ndi mkuwa.
4 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
Nsalu zobiriwira, zapepo, zofiira, nsalu zofewa, ubweya wambuzi;
5 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;
zikopa za nkhosa zazimuna za utoto wofiira ndi zikopa za akatumbu; matabwa amtengo wa mkesha;
6 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
mafuta anyale a olivi, zonunkhiritsa mafuta odzozera ndi zopangira lubani wonunkhira;
7 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
miyala yokongola ya mtundu wa onikisi ndi ina yabwino yoyika pa efodi ndi pa chovala cha pachifuwa.
8 And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.
“Iwo andipangire malo wopatulika, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala pakati pawo.
9 You must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you.
Umange chihema ndiponso ziwiya zamʼkatimo monga momwe Ine ndidzakuonetsere.
10 And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
“Tsono apange bokosi lamatabwa amtengo wa mkesha, ndipo kutalika kwake kukhale masentimita 114, mulifupi mwake masentimita 69, msinkhu wake masentimita 69.
11 Overlay it with pure gold both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it.
Bokosilo ulikute ndi golide wabwino kwambiri, mʼkati mwake ndi kunja komwe, ndipo upange mkombero wagolide kuzungulira bokosilo.
12 Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.
Upange mphete zinayi zagolide ndipo uzimangirire ku miyendo yake inayi ya bokosilo, mbali ina ziwiri ndi mbali inanso ziwiri.
13 And make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
Kenaka upange mizati yamtengo wa mkesha ndi kuzikuta ndi golide.
14 Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, in order to carry it.
Ndipo ulowetse nsichizo mʼmphete zija za mbali zonse ziwiri za bokosilo kuti azinyamulira.
15 The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark; they must not be removed.
Nsichizo zizikhala mʼmphete za bokosilo nthawi zonse, zisamachotsedwe.
16 And place inside the ark the Testimony, which I will give you.
Ndipo udzayike mʼbokosilo miyala iwiri yolembedwapo malamulo imene Ine ndidzakupatse.
17 And you are to construct a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
“Upange chivundikiro cha bokosilo cha golide wabwino kwambiri, kutalika kwake masentimita 114, mulifupi mwake masentimita 69.
18 Make two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,
Ndipo upange Akerubi awiri agolide osula ndi nyundo, uwayike mbali ziwiri za chivundikirocho,
19 one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.
kerubi mmodzi mbali ina ndi wina mbali inayo. Akerubiwa uwapangire limodzi ndi chivundikirocho mʼmapeto mwa mbali ziwirizo.
20 And the cherubim are to have wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the mercy seat.
Mapiko a Akerubiwo adzatambasukire pamwamba pa chivundikiro cha bokosilo kuti achiphimbe. Akerubiwo adzakhale choyangʼanana, aliyense kuyangʼana chivundikirocho.
21 Set the mercy seat atop the ark, and put the Testimony that I will give you into the ark.
Uyike chivundikirocho pamwamba pa bokosi ndipo mʼbokosilo uyikemo miyala ya malamulo, imene ndidzakupatse.
22 And I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I command you regarding the Israelites.
Ndizidzakumana nawe pamenepo, pamwamba pa chivundikiro cha bokosilo, pakati pa Akerubi awiriwo, ndikumadzakupatsa malamulo onse okhudzana ndi Aisraeli.
23 You are also to make a table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
“Upange tebulo la matabwa amtengo wa mkesha, mulitali mwake masentimita 91, mulifupi mwake masentimita 46, msinkhu wake masentimita 69.
24 Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it.
Tebulolo ulikute ndi golide wabwino kwambiri ndipo upange mkombero wagolide mʼmbali mwake.
25 And make a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
Upange feremu yozungulira tebulo, mulifupi mwake ngati chikhatho cha dzanja, ndipo uyike mkombero wagolide kuzungulira feremuyo.
26 Make four gold rings for the table and fasten them to the four corners at its four legs.
Upange mphete zinayi zagolide, ndipo uzilumikize ku ngodya zake zinayi, kumene kuli miyendo yake inayi.
27 The rings are to be close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table.
Mphetezo uziyike kufupi ndi feremu kuti azikolowekamo nsichi zonyamulira tebuloyo.
28 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them.
Upange nsichi zamtengo wa mkesha ndi kuzikuta ndi golide kuti azinyamulira tebulolo.
29 You are also to make the plates and dishes, as well as the pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold.
Upange mbale ndi zipande zagolide wabwino, pamodzinso ndi mitsuko ndi mabeseni zogwiritsa ntchito popereka nsembe.
30 And place the Bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.
Pa tebulopo uyikepo buledi woperekedwa kosalekeza, kuti azikhala pamaso panga nthawi zonse.
31 Then you are to make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. It shall be made of one piece, including its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals.
“Upange choyikapo nyale chagolide wabwino kwambiri. Tsinde lake ndi mphanda zake zikhale zosulidwa ndi nyundo. Zikho zake zokhala ndi mphukira ndi maluwa ake zipangidwire kumodzi.
32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other.
Mʼmbali mwake mukhale mphanda zisanu ndi imodzi, zitatu mbali iliyonse.
33 There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extend from the lampstand.
Zikho zitatu zokhala ngati za maluwa amtowo, mphukira ndi duwa zikhale pa mphanda yoyamba. Pa mphanda yachiwiri pakhalenso zikho zitatu zokhala ngati za maluwa amtowo, mphukira ndi duwa. Ndipo mphanda zonse zisanu ndi imodzi zikhale chimodzimodzi ndipo zituluke mʼchoyikapo nyalecho.
34 And on the lampstand there shall be four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals.
Pa choyikapo nyalecho pakhale zikho zinayi zopangidwa ngati maluwa amtowo ali ndi mphukira ndi maluwa.
35 For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a bud must be under the first pair of branches, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.
Mphukira yoyamba ikhale mʼmunsi mwa nthambi ziwiri zoyamba za pa choyikapo nyale. Mphukira yachiwiri ikhale mʼmunsi mwa nthambi ziwiri zinazo. Ndipo mphukira yachitatu ikhale mʼmunsi mwa nthambi zina ziwirinso. Zonse pamodzi zikhale nthambi zisanu ndi imodzi
36 The buds and branches are to be all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
Mphukira ndi nthambi zonse zisulidwe kumodzi ndi choyikapo nyalecho ndi golide wabwino kwambiri.
37 Make seven lamps and set them up on the lampstand so that they illuminate the area in front of it.
“Ndipo upange nyale zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi kuziyika pa choyikapo nyalecho kuti ziwunikire kutsogolo.
38 The wick trimmers and their trays must be of pure gold.
Mbaniro ndi zowolera phulusa zikhale zagolide wabwino kwambiri.
39 The lampstand and all these utensils shall be made from a talent of pure gold.
Choyikapo nyale ndi zipangizo zonse zipangidwe ndi golide wabwino kwambiri wolemera makilogalamu 34.
40 See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.
Uwonetsetse kuti wapanga zonse monga momwe ndikukuonetsera pa phiri pano.”
