< Exodus 31 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
“Ta rora wone, nĩthuurĩte Bezaleli mũrũ wa Uri ũrĩa mũriũ wa Huri wa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda,
3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
na nĩndĩmũiyũrĩtie na Roho wa Ngai, na ũũgĩ na ũhoti na ũmenyo mawĩra-inĩ ma mĩthemba yothe ya moko;
4 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
ya gũcora mĩcoro ya ũũgĩ indo-inĩ cia thahabu, na betha na gĩcango, na
5 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft.
gwacũhia tũhiga twa goro twa gũthecererwo indo-inĩ, na kũruta wĩra wa gũkaaya mbaũ, na kũruta mawĩra ma mĩthemba yothe ya ũbundi.
6 Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have commanded you:
O na rĩrĩ, nĩthuurĩte Oholiabu mũrũ wa Ahisamaku, wa mũhĩrĩga wa Dani, nĩguo ateithagie Bezaleli wĩra. Ningĩ nĩheete mabundi mothe ũũgĩ wa gũthondeka indo ciothe iria ngwathĩte:
7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—
nacio nĩ Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira, na gĩtĩ gĩa tha kĩrĩa kĩrĩ igũrũ rĩarĩo, na indo iria ingĩ ciothe cia hema,
8 the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
nacio nĩ metha na indo ciayo, na mũtĩ wa thahabu therie wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa na indo ciaguo ciothe, na kĩgongona gĩa gũcinĩra ũbumba, na
9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—
kĩgongona kĩa iruta rĩa njino na indo ciakĩo, na kĩraĩ na kĩgũrũ gĩakĩo,
10 as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,
o na nguo iria ndume, iria theru cia kwĩhumbwo nĩ Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na nguo cia kwĩhumbwo nĩ ariũ ake rĩrĩa megũtungata marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai,
11 in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”
na maguta ma gũitanĩrĩrio, na ũbumba mũnungi wega wa Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru. Mathondeke indo icio o ta ũrĩa ngwathĩte.”
12 And the LORD said to Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
13 “Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli ũũ: ‘No nginya mũrũmagie Thabatũ ciakwa. Rũrũ nĩruo rũgatuĩka rũũri gatagatĩ gakwa na inyuĩ njiarwa iria igooka, nĩguo mũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa ũmũtheragia.
14 Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. Whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from among his people.
“‘Menyagĩrĩrai Thabatũ tondũ nĩ mũthenya mũtheru harĩ inyuĩ. Mũndũ ũngĩũthaahia no nginya ooragwo; mũndũ ũngĩruta wĩra mũthenya ũcio nĩakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
15 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.
Wĩra nĩũrutagwo mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩ Thabatũ theru ya Jehova ya andũ kũhurũka. Ũrĩa wothe ũkaaruta wĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ no nginya ooragwo.
16 The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to come.
andũ a Isiraeli nĩmathĩkagĩre Thabatũ, mamĩkũngũyagĩre ĩtuĩke kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra njiarwa iria igooka.
17 It is a sign between Me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”
Rũrũ nĩruo rũgaatuĩka rũũri gatagatĩ gakwa na andũ a Isiraeli nginya tene, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ombire igũrũ na thĩ na mĩthenya ĩtandatũ na mũthenya wa mũgwanja ndaigana kũruta wĩra, akĩhurũka.’”
18 When the LORD had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
Rĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkirie kwaria na Musa kũu igũrũ rĩa Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai, akĩmũnengera ihengere icio igĩrĩ cia Ũira, o ihengere icio cia mahiga, o icio ciandĩkĩtwo na kĩara kĩa Ngai.
