Exodus 35
1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said, These are the words which the Lord has spoken for [you] to do them.
Mose akakusanya jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli na kuwaambia, “Haya ndiyo mambo ambayo Bwana amewaamuru ninyi mfanye:
2 Six days shall you perform works, but on the seventh day [shall be] rest—a holy sabbath—a rest for the Lord: every one that does work on it, let him die.
Kwa siku sita, mtafanya kazi, lakini siku ya saba itakuwa takatifu kwenu, Sabato ya kupumzika kwa Bwana. Yeyote atakayefanya kazi yoyote siku hiyo ni lazima auawe.
3 You shall not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day; I [am] the Lord.
Msiwashe moto mahali popote katika makazi yenu siku ya Sabato.”
4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the Lord has appointed you, saying,
Mose akaiambia jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli, “Hili ndilo Bwana aliloamuru:
5 Take of yourselves an offering for the Lord: every one that engages in his heart shall bring the first fruits to the Lord; gold, silver, brass,
Toeni sadaka kwa Bwana kutoka mali mliyo nayo. Kila mmoja aliye na moyo wa kupenda atamletea Bwana sadaka ya dhahabu, fedha na shaba;
6 blue, purple, double scarlet spun, and fine linen spun, and goats' hair,
nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, za rangi nyekundu na kitani safi; singa za mbuzi;
7 and rams' skins dyed red, and skins [dyed] blue, and incorruptible wood,
ngozi za kondoo dume zilizopakwa rangi nyekundu, na ngozi za pomboo; mbao za mshita;
8 and sardine stones, and stones for engraving for the shoulder-piece and full-length robe.
mafuta ya zeituni kwa ajili ya taa; vikolezi kwa ajili ya mafuta ya upako, pamoja na uvumba wa harufu nzuri;
9 And every man that is wise in heart amongst you, let him come and work all things whatever the Lord has commanded.
vito vya shohamu, na vito vingine vya thamani vya kuweka kwenye kisibau na kile kifuko cha kifuani.
10 The tabernacle, and the cords, and the coverings, and the rings, and the bars, and the posts,
“Wote wenye ujuzi miongoni mwenu inawapasa kuja na kutengeneza kila kitu Bwana alichoamuru:
11 and the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and its propitiatory, and the veil,
Maskani pamoja na hema lake na kifuniko chake, vibanio, mihimili, mataruma, nguzo na vitako;
12 and the curtains of the court, and its posts,
Sanduku la Agano pamoja na mipiko yake, kifuniko cha kiti cha rehema na pazia linalokizuia;
13 and the emerald stones,
meza na mipiko yake pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote, mikate ya Wonyesho;
14 and the incense, and the anointing oil,
kinara cha taa kwa ajili ya mwanga pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote, taa na mafuta kwa ajili ya mwanga;
15 and the table and all its furniture,
madhabahu ya kufukiza uvumba pamoja na mipiko yake, mafuta ya upako na uvumba wenye harufu nzuri; pazia la mlangoni mahali pa kuingilia ndani ya maskani;
16 and the candlestick for the light and all its furniture,
madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketeza pamoja na wavu wake wa shaba, mipiko yake pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote; sinia la shaba pamoja na tako lake;
17 and the altar and all its furniture;
pazia la eneo la ua pamoja na nguzo zake na vitako vyake, pazia la ingilio la kwenye ua;
18 and the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments in which they shall do service;
vigingi vya hema kwa ajili ya maskani pamoja na ua na kamba zake;
19 and the garments of priesthood for the sons of Aaron and the anointing oil, and the compound incense.
mavazi yaliyofumwa yanayovaliwa wakati wa huduma katika mahali patakatifu, yaani mavazi matakatifu kwa ajili ya kuhani Aroni, na mavazi kwa ajili ya wanawe watakapokuwa wakihudumu katika kazi ya ukuhani.”
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel went out from Moses. And they brought, they whose heart prompted them, and they to whoever it seemed good in their mind, each and offering:
Ndipo jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli ilipoondoka mbele ya Mose,
21 and they brought an offering to the Lord for all the works of the tabernacle of witness, and all its services, and for all the robes of the sanctuary.
na kila mmoja aliyependa na ambaye moyo wake ulimsukuma alikuja na kuleta sadaka kwa Bwana, kwa ajili ya kazi katika Hema la Kukutania, kwa ajili ya huduma yake yote na kwa ajili ya mavazi matakatifu.
22 And the men, even every one to whom it seemed good in his heart, brought from the women, [even] brought seals and ear-rings, and finger-rings, and necklaces, and bracelets, every article of gold.
Wote waliokuwa na utayari, wanaume kwa wanawake, wakaja wakaleta vito vya dhahabu vya kila aina: vipini, vipuli, pete na mapambo. Wote wakatoa dhahabu zao kama sadaka ya kuinuliwa kwa Bwana.
23 And all as many as brought ornaments of gold to the Lord, and with whoever fine linen was found; and they brought skins [dyed] blue, and rams' skins dyed red.
Kila mmoja aliyekuwa na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, au za rangi nyekundu au kitani safi, au singa za mbuzi, ngozi za kondoo dume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu, au ngozi za pomboo, wakavileta.
24 And every one that offered an offering brought silver and brass, the offerings to the Lord; and [they] with whom was found incorruptible wood; and they brought [offerings] for all the works of the preparation.
Wale waliotoa sadaka ya fedha au shaba wakavileta kama sadaka kwa Bwana, na kila aliyekuwa na mti wa mshita kwa ajili ya kazi yoyote ile akauleta.
25 And every woman skilled in her heart to spin with her hands, brought spun [articles], the blue, and purple, and scarlet and fine linen.
Kila mwanamke aliyekuwa na ujuzi alisokota kwa mikono yake na alileta kile alichosokota, iwe ni nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, au za rangi nyekundu au kitani safi.
26 And all the women to whom it seemed good in their heart in their wisdom, spun the goats' hair.
Wanawake wote waliopenda na waliokuwa na ujuzi wakasokota singa za mbuzi.
27 And the rulers brought the emerald stones, and the stones for setting in the ephod, and the oracle,
Viongozi wakaleta vito vya shohamu pamoja na vito vingine vya thamani kwa ajili ya kuweka kwenye kisibau na kwenye kifuko cha kifuani.
28 and the compounds both for the anointing oil, and the composition of the incense.
Wakaleta pia vikolezi na mafuta ya zeituni kwa ajili ya mwanga, kwa ajili ya mafuta ya upako na kwa ajili ya uvumba wenye harufu nzuri.
29 And every man and woman whose mind inclined them to come in and do all the works as many as the Lord appointed them to do by Moses—[they] the children of Israel brought an offering to the Lord.
Waisraeli wote waume kwa wake waliokuwa wanapenda wakaleta mbele za Bwana kwa hiari yao wenyewe sadaka kwa ajili ya kazi yote ya Bwana aliyokuwa amewaagiza kuifanya kupitia kwa Mose.
30 And Moses said to the children of Israel, Behold, God has called by name Beseleel the [son] of Urias the [son of] Or, of the tribe of Juda,
Kisha Mose akawaambia Waisraeli, “Tazameni, Bwana amemchagua Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa kabila la Yuda,
31 and has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom and understanding, and knowledge of all things,
naye amemjaza Roho wa Mungu, pamoja na ustadi, na uwezo na ujuzi katika aina zote za ufundi,
32 to labour skilfully in all works of cunning workmanship, to form the gold and the silver and the brass,
ili kubuni michoro ya kupendeza katika ufundi wa dhahabu, fedha na shaba,
33 and to work in stone, and to fashion the wood, and to work in every work of wisdom.
kuchonga vito na kuvitia mahali, kufanya ufundi kwa mbao, na kujishughulisha na aina zote za ufundi wa kupendeza.
34 And [God] gave improvement in understanding both to him, and to Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan.
Tena amempa yeye pamoja na Oholiabu, mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa kabila la Dani, uwezo wa kufundisha wengine.
35 And [God] filled them with wisdom, understanding [and] perception, to understand to work all the works of the sanctuary, and to weave the woven and embroidered work with scarlet and fine linen, to do all work of curious workmanship [and] embroidery.
Amewajaza ustadi wa kufanya kazi za aina zote zifanywazo na mafundi, na wenye kubuni michoro, pia na watarizi kwa rangi za buluu, zambarau, nyekundu na kitani safi, na wafumaji: wote wakiwa mafundi na wabunifu hodari.
