< Exodus 27 >
1 “You are to build an altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.
“Upange guwa lansembe lamatabwa amtengo wa mkesha. Likhale lofanana mbali zonse, msinkhu wake masentimita 137, mulitali mwake masentimita 229, mulifupi mwake masentimita 229.
2 Make a horn on each of its four corners, so that the horns are of one piece, and overlay it with bronze.
Upange nyanga imodziimodzi pa ngodya zake zinayizo kuti nyangazo ndi guwalo zikhale chinthu chimodzi, ndipo ulikute guwalo ndi mkuwa.
3 Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots for removing ashes, its shovels, its sprinkling bowls, its meat forks, and its firepans.
Upange ziwiya zamkuwa izi zogwirira ntchito pa guwalo: miphika yochotsera phulusa, mafosholo, mabeseni owazira magazi, ngowe zokowera nyama ndi zosonkhezera moto.
4 Construct for it a grate of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the mesh.
Upange sefa yachitsulo chamkuwa ndipo mʼngodya zake zinayizo upangiremo mphete zamkuwa.
5 Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.
Uyike sefayo mmunsi mwa khoma la guwa lansembelo, ndipo ilekezere pakati pa guwa lansembelo.
6 Additionally, make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.
Upange nsichi zamtengo wa mkesha ndipo uzikutire ndi mkuwa.
7 The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.
Pamene mukunyamula guwalo, muzilowetsa nsichizo mʼmphetemo mbali zonse ziwiri za guwalo.
8 Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.
Guwalo likhale lamatabwa ndi logoba mʼkati mwake. Ulipange monga momwe ndinakuonetsera pa phiri paja.
9 You are also to make a courtyard for the tabernacle. On the south side of the courtyard make curtains of finely spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,
“Upange bwalo la chihema. Mbali yakummwera ikhale yotalika mamita 46 ndipo ikhale ndi nsalu yotchinga yofewa yosalala yolukidwa bwino.
10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands on the posts.
Upangenso mizati makumi awiri, matsinde makumi awiri amkuwa, ndi ngowe zasiliva ndi zingwe za mizatiyo.
11 Likewise there are to be curtains on the north side, a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
Mbali yakumpoto ikhalenso yotalika mamita 46 ndipo ikhale ndi nsalu yotchinga. Pakhalenso mizati makumi awiri, matsinde amkuwa makumi awiri, ngowe zasiliva ndi zingwe za mizatiyo.
12 The curtains on the west side of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten bases.
“Mbali yakumadzulo ya bwalolo ikhale yotalika mamita 23 ndipo ikhale ndi nsalu yotchinga, nsichi khumi ndi matsinde khumi.
13 The east side of the courtyard, toward the sunrise, is to be fifty cubits wide.
Mbali yakummawa, kotulukira dzuwa, kutalika kwa bwalo kukhale mamita 23.
14 Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases,
Mbali imodzi yachipata kukhale nsalu yotchinga yotalika mamita asanu ndi awiri, mizati itatu ndi matsinde atatu.
15 and the curtains on the other side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.
Ndipo ku mbali inayo kukhale nsalu yotchinga ya mamita asanu ndi awiri pamodzi ndi mizati itatu ndi matsinde atatu.
16 The gate of the courtyard shall be twenty cubits long, with a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It shall have four posts and four bases.
“Pa chipata cha bwalolo pakhale nsalu yotchinga yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo ndi yofiira ndiponso yofewa yosalala. Nsaluyo ikhale yotalika mamita asanu ndi anayi, yopangidwa ndi anthu aluso. Pakhalenso mizati yake inayi ndi matsinde akenso anayi.
17 All the posts around the courtyard shall have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases.
Mizati yonse yozungulira bwalolo ilumikizidwe ndi zingwe zasiliva. Ngowe zake zikhale zasiliva, koma matsinde ake akhale amkuwa.
18 The entire courtyard shall be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, with curtains of finely spun linen five cubits high, and with bronze bases.
Kutalika kwa bwalolo kukhale mamita 46, mulifupi mwake mamita 23, msinkhu wake masentimita 230. Nsalu ya katani ikhale yofewa ndi yosalala bwino. Matsinde ake akhale amkuwa.
19 All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, including all its tent pegs and the tent pegs of the courtyard, shall be made of bronze.
Zipangizo zonse zogwiritsa ntchito zosiyanasiyana pa chihemacho, zikhomo za chihema ndi zabwalolo zikhale zamkuwa.
20 And you are to command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
“Lamula Aisraeli kuti akupatse mafuta anyale a olivi wabwino kwambiri kuti nyalezo ziziyaka nthawi zonse.
21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to come.
Mʼchihema cha msonkhano, koma kunja kwa nsalu yotchinga Bokosi la Chipangano, Aaroni ndi ana ake azionetsetsa kuti nyale ikukhala chiyakire pamaso pa Yehova kuyambira madzulo mpaka mmawa. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pakati pa Aisraeli pa mibado yonse.”
