Exodus 37
1 Bezalel went on to construct the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
Bezaleli akafanya Sanduku la mbao za mshita. Mikono miwili na nusu urefu wake, na mkono mmoja na nusu upana wake, na mkono mmoja na nusu kimo chake.
2 He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
Kisha akalifunika kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje na kulifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu kulizunguka pande zote.
3 And he cast four gold rings for its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.
Kisha akalitengenezea pete nne za dhahabu, za juu ya miguu yake minne, pete mbili upande wake mmoja na pete mbili upande wake mwingine
4 Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
Kisha akafanya miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu.
5 He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry it.
Halafu akaitia miti hiyo kwenye zile pete zilizo pande za Sanduku ili kulibeba Sanduku.
6 He constructed a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
Naye akafanya kifuniko cha dhahabu safi. Mikono miwili na nusu urefu wake, na mkono mmoja na nusu upana wake.
7 He made two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,
Bezaleli akafanya makerubi wawili wa dhahabu. Kwa kazi ya kufua akawafanya kwenye miisho yote miwili ya kifuniko.
8 one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.
Kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho ule, na yule kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho huu. Aliwafanya makerubi juu ya kifuniko kwenye miisho yote miwili.
9 And the cherubim had wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the mercy seat.
Nao wakawa makerubi wanaonyoosha mabawa yao mawili kuelekea juu, wakisitiri kifuniko kwa mabawa yao, nazo nyuso zao zilikuwa zikielekeana. Nyuso za makerubi hao zilielekea kifuniko hicho.
10 He also made the table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
Bezaleli akafanya meza ya mbao za mshita. Mikono miwili urefu wake, na mkono mmoja upana wake, na mkono mmoja na nusu kimo chake.
11 He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
Halafu akaifunika kwa dhahabu safi na kufanya ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
12 And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
Kisha akafanya mzingo wa upana wa kiganja kuizunguka na kufanya ukingo wa dhahabu kwa ajili ya mzingo wake kuizunguka pande zote.
13 He cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners at its four legs.
Tena, akatengeneza pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili yake na kuziweka pete hizo kwenye zile pembe nne zilizokuwa kwa ajili ya ile miguu minne.
14 The rings were placed close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table.
Pete hizo zilikuwa karibu na ule mzingo, ili kutegemeza ile miti ya kuibeba meza hiyo.
15 He made the poles of acacia wood for carrying the table and overlaid them with gold.
Halafu akafanya ile miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu ili kuibeba ile meza.
16 He also made the utensils for the table out of pure gold: its plates and dishes, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.
Baada ya hilo akafanya kutokana na dhahabu safi vile vyombo vilivyo juu ya meza, sahani zake na vikombe vyake na mabakuli yake na mitungi yake iliyotumiwa kumimina matoleo ya kinywaji.
17 Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold, all of one piece: its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals.
Kisha akafanya kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi. Kwa kazi ya kufua akakifanya kinara cha taa. Pande zake na matawi yake, vikombe vyake, mafundo yake na maua yake vikatokea kwake.
18 Six branches extended from the sides, three on one side and three on the other.
Na matawi sita yalikuwa yakitoka kwenye pande zake, matawi matatu ya kinara cha taa kutoka kwenye upande wake mmoja na matawi mengine matatu ya kinara cha taa kutoka kwenye ule upande wake mwingine.
19 There were 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 extended from the lampstand.
Vikombe vitatu vyenye umbo la maua ya mlozi vilikuwa kwenye kikundi kimoja cha matawi, vifundo na maua yakifuatana; na vikombe vitatu vyenye umbo la maua ya mlozi vilikuwa kwenye kile kikundi kingine cha matawi, vifundo na maua yakifuatana. Hivyo ndivyo ilivyokuwa kwa yale matawi sita yaliyokuwa yakitoka katika kile kinara cha taa.
20 And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals.
Na kwenye kile kinara cha taa kulikuwa na vikombe vinne vyenye umbo la maua ya mlozi, vifundo vyake na maua yake yakifuatana.
21 A bud was under the first pair of branches that extended from the lampstand, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.
Na kile kifundo chini ya matawi mawili kilitoka kwake, na kifundo kilicho chini ya yale matawi mengine mawili kilitoka kwake, na kifundo kingine kilicho chini ya matawi mengine mawili zaidi kilitoka kwake, kwa ajili ya matawi sita yanayotoka katika kinara.
22 The buds and branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
Vifundo vyake na matawi yake vilitoka kwake, vyote vilikuwa kitu kimoja cha kazi ya kufua, cha dhahabu safi.
23 He also made its seven lamps, its wick trimmers, and trays of pure gold.
Kisha akafanya taa zake saba na mikasi ya tambi zake na vyetezo vyake kutokana na dhahabu safi.
24 He made the lampstand and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.
Alikifanya kwa talanta ya dhahabu safi, hicho pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote.
25 He made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns were of one piece.
Sasa akafanya madhabahu ya uvumba kutokana na mbao za mshita. Mkono mmoja urefu wake na mkono mmoja upana wake, ikiwa mraba, na mikono miwili kimo chake. Pembe zake zilitoka kwake.
26 And he overlaid with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns. Then he made a molding of gold around it.
Kisha akaifunika kwa dhahabu safi, upande wake wa juu na pande zake za kando kuizunguka na pembe zake, naye akafanya ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
27 He made two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.
Naye akaifanyia pete mbili za dhahabu chini ya ukingo wake kwenye pande zake mbili, kwenye pande zake mbili zinazoelekeana, za kutegemeza ile miti ya kuibeba.
28 And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
Kisha akafanya ile miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu.
29 He also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense, the work of a perfumer.
Tena akafanya yale mafuta yanayotumiwa kutia mafuta na ule uvumba safi uliotiwa manukato, kazi ya mtengenezaji wa marhamu.
