Exodus 37
1 And Bezalel made the ark of hard 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 Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.
Kisha akalifunika kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje na kulifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu kulizunguka pande zote.
3 And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two 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 And rods of the same wood plated with gold.
Kisha akafanya miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu.
5 These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.
Halafu akaitia miti hiyo kwenye zile pete zilizo pande za Sanduku ili kulibeba Sanduku.
6 And he made the cover all of 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 And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;
Bezaleli akafanya makerubi wawili wa dhahabu. Kwa kazi ya kufua akawafanya kwenye miisho yote miwili ya kifuniko.
8 Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.
Kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho ule, na yule kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho huu. Aliwafanya makerubi juu ya kifuniko kwenye miisho yote miwili.
9 And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.
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 And he made the table of hard 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 Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it.
Halafu akaifunika kwa dhahabu safi na kufanya ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
12 And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round.
Kisha akafanya mzingo wa upana wa kiganja kuizunguka na kufanya ukingo wa dhahabu kwa ajili ya mzingo wake kuizunguka pande zote.
13 And he made four gold rings, and put the rings at the angles of its four feet.
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 fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.
Pete hizo zilikuwa karibu na ule mzingo, ili kutegemeza ile miti ya kuibeba meza hiyo.
15 The rods for lifting the table he made of hard wood plated with gold.
Halafu akafanya ile miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu ili kuibeba ile meza.
16 And all the table-vessels, the plates and spoons and basins and the cups for liquids, he made of the best gold.
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 support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal:
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 It had six branches coming out from its sides, three from one side and three from 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 Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches;
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 its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;
Na kwenye kile kinara cha taa kulikuwa na vikombe vinne vyenye umbo la maua ya mlozi, vifundo vyake na maua yake yakifuatana.
21 And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it.
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 the branches were made of the same metal, all together one complete work of the best hammered gold.
Vifundo vyake na matawi yake vilitoka kwake, vyote vilikuwa kitu kimoja cha kazi ya kufua, cha dhahabu safi.
23 And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold.
Kisha akafanya taa zake saba na mikasi ya tambi zake na vyetezo vyake kutokana na dhahabu safi.
24 A talent of the best gold was used for the making of it and its vessels.
Alikifanya kwa talanta ya dhahabu safi, hicho pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote.
25 And he made the altar for the burning of spices, using the same hard wood; it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high; the horns made of the same.
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 The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round 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 And he made two gold rings, placing them on the two opposite sides under the edge, to take the rods for lifting 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 The rods he made of the same hard wood, plating them with gold.
Kisha akafanya ile miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu.
29 And he made the holy oil and the perfume of sweet spices for burning, after the art of the perfume-maker.
Tena akafanya yale mafuta yanayotumiwa kutia mafuta na ule uvumba safi uliotiwa manukato, kazi ya mtengenezaji wa marhamu.
