Exodus 25

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Bwana akamwambia Mose,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take first fruits of all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and you shall take my first fruits.

“Waambie Waisraeli waniletee sadaka. Utapokea sadaka kwa niaba yangu kutoka kwa kila mtu ambaye moyo wake wapenda kutoa.

3 And this is the offering which you shall take of them; gold and silver and brass,

Hizi ndizo sadaka utakazozipokea kutoka kwao: dhahabu, fedha na shaba;

4 and blue, and purple, and double scarlet, and fine spun linen, and goats' hair,

nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, za rangi nyekundu, pamoja na kitani safi; singa za mbuzi;

5 and rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins, and incorruptible wood,

ngozi za kondoo dume zilizopakwa rangi nyekundu, na ngozi za pomboo; mbao za mshita;

6 and oil for the light, incense for anointing oil, and for the composition of incense,

mafuta ya zeituni kwa ajili ya taa; vikolezi kwa ajili ya mafuta ya upako, pamoja na uvumba wa harufu nzuri;

7 and sardius stones, and stones for the carved work of the breast-plate, and the full-length robe.

na vito vya shohamu na vito vingine vya thamani vya kuweka kwenye kisibau na kile kifuko cha kifuani.

8 And you shall make me a sanctuary, and I will appear amongst you.

“Kisha uwaamuru wanitengenezee mahali patakatifu, nami nitakaa miongoni mwao.

9 And you shall make for me according to all things which I show you in the mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture: so shall you make it.

Tengeneza hema hili na vyombo vyake vyote sawasawa na kielelezo nitakachokuonyesha.

10 And you shall make the ark of testimony of incorruptible wood; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half, and the height of a cubit and a half.

“Nao watatengeneza Sanduku la mbao za mshita, lenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili na nusu, upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.

11 And you shall gild it with pure gold, you shall gild it within and without; and you shall make for it golden wreaths twisted round about.

Utalifunika hilo Sanduku kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu juu yake kulizunguka.

12 And you shall cast for it four golden rings, and shall put them on the four sides; two rings on the one side, and two rings on the other side.

Utalisubu kwa pete nne za dhahabu na kuzifungia kwenye miguu yake minne, pete mbili kwa upande mmoja na pete mbili kwa upande mwingine.

13 And you shall make staves [of] incorruptible wood, and shall gild them with gold.

Kisha utatengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu.

14 And you shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark with them.

Utaiingiza hiyo mipiko kwenye zile pete katika pande mbili za Sanduku ili kulibeba.

15 The staves shall remain fixed in the rings of the ark.

Hiyo mipiko itabakia daima katika hizo pete za hilo Sanduku; haitaondolewa.

16 And you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.

Kisha weka ndani ya hilo Sanduku ule Ushuhuda nitakaokupa.

17 And you shall make a propitiatory, a lid of pure gold; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half.

“Tengeneza kifuniko cha upatanisho cha dhahabu safi, chenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu.

18 And you shall make two cherubs graven in gold, and you shall put them on both sides of the propitiatory.

Tengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.

19 They shall be made, one cherub on this side, and another cherub on the other side of the propitiatory; and you shall make the two cherubs on the two sides.

Tengeneza kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho mmoja, na kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho mwingine; watengeneze makerubi hao wawe kitu kimoja na hicho kifuniko katika miisho hiyo miwili.

20 The cherubs shall stretch forth their wings above, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be towards each other, the faces of the cherubs shall be towards the propitiatory.

Makerubi hao watakuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, yakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao wataelekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.

21 And you shall set the propitiatory on the ark above, and you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.

Weka huo Ushuhuda nitakaokupa ndani ya hilo Sanduku la Agano, na uweke hicho kifuniko juu ya hilo Sanduku.

22 And I will make myself known to you from thence, and I will speak to you above the propitiatory between the two cherubs, which are upon the ark of testimony, even in all things which I shall charge you concerning the children of Israel.

Hapo juu ya hicho kifuniko, kati ya hao makerubi wawili walioko juu ya hilo Sanduku la Ushuhuda, hapo ndipo nitakapokutana nawe na kukupa maagizo yangu kwa ajili ya Waisraeli.

23 And you shall make a golden table of pure gold, in length two cubits, and in breadth a cubit, and in height a cubit and a half.

“Tengeneza meza ya mbao za mshita yenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili, upana wa dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.

24 And you shall make for it golden wreaths twisted round about, and you shall make for it a crown of an hand-breadth round about.

Ifunike kwa dhahabu safi, na kuitengenezea ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.

25 And you shall make a twisted wreath for the crown round about.

Kisha tengeneza upapi wenye upana wa nyanda nne, na ufanyie ule upapi ukingo wa dhahabu kuuzunguka pande zote.

26 And you shall make four golden rings; and you shall put the four rings upon the four parts of its feet under the crown.

Tengeneza pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili ya meza hiyo, na uzifungie kwenye pembe nne, pale penye miguu yake minne.

27 And the rings shall be for bearings for the staves, that they may bear the table with them.

Pete hizo zitakuwa karibu na ukingo ule ili kuishikilia ile mipiko itakayotumika kuibebea hiyo meza.

28 And you shall make the staves of incorruptible wood, and you shall gild them with pure gold; and the table shall be borne with them.

Tengeneza mipiko hiyo kwa mbao za mshita, uifunike na dhahabu, uitumie kubeba hiyo meza.

29 And you shall make its dishes and its censers, and its bowls, and its cups, with which you shall offer drink-offerings: of pure gold shall you make them.

Tengeneza sahani zake na masinia yake kwa dhahabu safi, pamoja na bilauri na bakuli zake kwa ajili ya kumiminia sadaka.

30 And you shall set upon the table show bread before me continually.

Utaweka mikate ya Wonyesho juu ya meza hii iwe mbele yangu daima.

31 And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold; you shall make the candlestick of graven work: its stem and its branches, and its bowls and its knops and its lilies shall be of one piece.

“Tengeneza kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi iliyofuliwa vizuri katika kitako chake na ufito wake; vikombe vyake vinavyofanana na ua, matovu yake na maua yake viwe kitu kimoja.

32 And six branches proceeding sideways, three branches of the candlestick from one side of it, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side.

Matawi sita yatatokeza kuanzia ule ufito wa katikati wa kinara cha taa: matawi matatu upande mmoja na matatu upande mwingine.

33 And three bowls fashioned like almonds, on each branch a knop and a lily; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick,

Vikombe vitatu vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yenye matovu na maua vitakuwa katika tawi moja, vikombe vitatu katika tawi jingine, na vivyo hivyo kwa matawi yote sita yanayotokeza kwenye kile kinara cha taa.

34 and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds, in each branch knops and the flowers of the same.

Juu ya kinara chenyewe vitakuwepo vikombe vinne vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yakiwa na matovu yake na maua yake.

35 A knop under two branches out of it, and a knop under four branches out of it; so to the six branches proceeding from the candlestick; and in the candlestick four bowls fashioned like almonds.

Tovu moja litakuwa chini ya jozi ya kwanza ya matawi yaliyotokeza kwenye kinara cha taa, tovu la pili chini ya jozi ya pili, nalo tovu la tatu chini ya jozi ya tatu, yaani matawi sita kwa jumla.

36 Let the knops and the branches be of one piece, altogether graven of one piece of pure gold.

Matovu na matawi yote yatakuwa kitu kimoja na kile kinara cha taa, yakifuliwa kwa dhahabu safi.

37 And you shall make its seven lamps: and you shall set on [it] the lamps, and they shall shine from one front.

“Kisha tengeneza taa zake saba na uziweke juu ya kinara hicho ili ziangaze mbele yake.

38 And you shall make its funnel and its snuff-dishes of pure gold.

Mikasi ya kusawazishia tambi, pamoja na masinia, zote zitakuwa za dhahabu safi.

39 All these articles [shall be] a talent of pure gold.

Utatumia talanta moja ya dhahabu safi kutengeneza hicho kinara na vifaa vyake vyote.

40 See, you shall make them according to the pattern showed you in the mount.

Hakikisha kuwa umevitengeneza sawasawa na ule mfano ulioonyeshwa kule mlimani.
