< Exodus 25 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, so that they may take the first-fruits to me. You shall accept these from every man who offers of his own accord.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli mandehere iruta. Nĩwe ũkwamũkĩra iruta rĩu handũ hakwa kuuma kũrĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ngoro yake ĩkwenda kũheana.
3 Now these are the things that you must accept: Gold, and silver, and brass,
Maruta marĩa ũrĩamũkagĩra kuuma kũrĩ o nĩmo maya: thahabu, na betha na gĩcango;
4 hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,
na ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, na gatani ĩrĩa njega, o na guoya wa mbũri;
5 and the skins of rams, dyed red, and skins of violet, and setim wood,
na njũa cia ndũrũme itoboketio rangi-inĩ mũtune, na njũa cia pomboo, na mbaũ cia mũgaa;
6 oil to prepare lights, aromatics as ointments and sweet-smelling incense,
na maguta ma mũtamaiyũ ma gwakia tawa; na mahuti manungi wega ma gũthondeka maguta ma gũitanĩrĩrio, na ũbumba ũrĩa mũnungi wega;
7 onyx stones and gems to adorn the ephod as well as the breastplate.
na tũhiga twa onigithi, na tũhiga tũngĩ twa goro twa gwĩkĩrwo ebodi-inĩ na gakuo ga gĩthũri.
8 And they shall make a sanctuary for me, and I will live in their midst.
“Ningĩ ũnjakithĩrie handũ haamũre, na niĩ nĩngatũũranagia nao.
9 According to exact likeness of the tabernacle, and all of the vessels for its rituals, that I will reveal to you, so shall you make it.
Thondekai hema ĩno nyamũre, na mwĩkĩre indo cia thĩinĩ kũringana na mũhano ũrĩa ngũkuonia.
10 Join together an ark of setim wood, whose length shall hold two and one half cubits; the width, one and one half cubits; the height, likewise, one and one half cubits.
“Nĩmathondekere ithandũkũ rĩa mbaũ cia mũgaa. Ũraihu warĩo ũkorwo ũrĩ mĩkono ĩĩrĩ na nuthu, na kwarama kwarĩo gũkorwo kũrĩ mũkono ũmwe na nuthu, na kũraiha na igũrũ kwarĩo gũkorwo nĩ mũkono ũmwe na nuthu.
11 And you shall overlay it with the finest gold, inside and out. And over it, you shall fashion a gold crown all around,
Ithandũkũ rĩu rĩgemio na thahabu therie mĩena yeerĩ nja na thĩinĩ, na mũrĩtirihe na mũcibi wa thahabu mĩena yothe.
12 and four gold rings, which you shall set into the four corners of the ark. Let two rings be on one side and two on the other.
Rĩtwekerie icũhĩ inya cia thahabu, na ũcioherere magũrũ-inĩ marĩo mana, icũhĩ igĩrĩ mwena ũmwe na icũhĩ igĩrĩ mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ.
13 Likewise, you shall make bars of setim wood and cover them with gold.
Ũcooke ũthondeke mĩtĩ mĩraaya ya mũgaa ũmĩgemie na thahabu.
14 And you shall put them through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, so that it may be carried on them.
Toonyia mĩtĩ ĩyo mĩraaya icũhĩ-inĩ iria irĩ mĩena ya ithandũkũ nĩgeetha rĩkuuĩkage.
15 These must always be in the rings, neither shall they ever be drawn out of them.
Mĩtĩ ĩyo mĩraaya ĩrekwo ĩikarage icũhĩ-inĩ cia ithandũkũ rĩĩrĩ, na ndĩkeheragio.
16 And you shall place the testimony, which I will give to you, in the ark.
Ũcooke wĩkĩre thĩinĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩu Ũira, ũrĩa ngũkũhe.
17 You shall also make a propitiatory of the finest gold. Its length shall hold two and one half cubits, and the width, one and one half cubits.
“Thondeka gĩtĩ gĩa tha gĩa thahabu therie, gĩkorwo kĩrĩ kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩĩrĩ na nuthu, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe na nuthu.
18 Likewise, you shall make two Cherubim of formed gold, on both sides of the oracle.
Na ũture makerubi meerĩ ma thahabu, ũmekĩre mĩthia-inĩ ya gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha.
19 Let one Cherub be on the one side, and the other be on the other.
Thondeka ikerubi rĩmwe rĩikare mũthia-inĩ ũmwe, na ikerubi rĩu rĩngĩ rĩikare mũthia-inĩ ũrĩa ũngĩ wa gĩtĩ gĩa tha; thondeka makerubi macio maanyiitanĩte na gĩtĩ gĩa tha mĩthia-inĩ yeerĩ.
20 And let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings and covering the oracle, and let them look out toward one another, their faces being turned toward the propitiatory, with which the ark is to be covered,
Makerubi macio makorwo matambũrũkĩtie mathagu mamo na igũrũ, magathiĩka gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha namo. Makerubi macio makorwo maroranĩte, na marorete gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha.
21 in which you will place the testimony that I will give to you.
Igĩrĩra gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha igũrũ rĩa ithandũkũ, na wĩkĩre thĩinĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩu Ũira ũrĩa ngũkũhe.
22 From there, I will warn you and speak to you, above the propitiatory and from the middle of the two Cherubim, which will be over the ark of the testimony, about everything that I will command of the sons of Israel through you.
Na hau igũrũ wa gĩtĩ gĩa tha, gatagatĩ ka makerubi macio meerĩ marĩ igũrũ wa ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira nĩngacemania nawe ngũhe maathani makwa mothe nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli.
23 You shall also make a table of setim wood, having two cubits of length, and one cubit in width, and one cubit and one half cubits in height.
“Thondeka metha na mbaũ cia mũgaa, ũraihu wayo ũkorwo ũrĩ wa mĩkono ĩĩrĩ, na wariĩ wayo ũkorwo ũrĩ wa mũkono ũmwe, na kũraiha na igũrũ ĩkorwo ĩrĩ na mũkono ũmwe na nuthu.
24 And you shall overlay it with the purest gold. And you shall make it with a gold lip all around,
Ũmĩgemie na thahabu therie, na ũmĩtirihe na mũcibi wa thahabu.
25 and for the lip itself an engraved crown, four fingers high, and above it another little gold crown.
Mĩthondekere karũbaũ gaceke ka wariĩ wa rũhĩ gathiũrũrũkĩrie metha ĩyo, na ũgatirihe na mũcibi wa thahabu.
26 Likewise, you shall prepare four gold rings and set them in the four corners of the same table, over each foot.
Thondekera metha ĩyo icũhĩ inya cia thahabu, ũcioherere koona-inĩ iria inya o harĩa magũrũ macio mana marĩ.
27 Under the crown, there shall be gold rings, so that the bars may be put through them and the table may be carried.
Icũhĩ icio ikorwo irĩ hakuhĩ na mũcibi wa karũbaũ karĩa gaceke, nĩgeetha inyiitagĩrĩre mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ya gũkuuaga metha ĩyo.
28 Likewise, the bars themselves you shall make of setim wood, and surround them with gold, to lift up the table.
Thondeka mĩtĩ mĩraaya ya mbaũ cia mũgaa, ũmĩgemie na thahabu na ũkuuage metha nayo.
29 You shall also prepare small cups, as well as bowls, censers, and measuring cups, with which the libations shall be offered, out of the purest gold.
Na ũthondeke thaani ciayo, na thaani nene cia thahabu therie na ndigithũ, na mbakũri cia gũitaga maruta.
30 And you shall place upon the table the bread of the presence, in my sight always.
Iga mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩigagwo mbere yakwa igũrũ rĩa metha ĩyo, nayo ĩikarage hau mbere yakwa mahinda mothe.
31 You shall also make a lampstand, formed from the finest gold, along with its stem and arms, its bowl and little spheres, as well as the lilies proceeding from it.
“Thondeka mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa ma thahabu therie, kĩrũgamo o na gĩtina kĩaguo iturwo inyiitanĩte; ikombe ciaguo ihaana ta mahũa, na tũkonyo twaguo o na mahũa ikorwo irĩ kĩndũ kĩmwe inyiitanĩte naguo.
32 Six branches shall go out from the sides: three out of one side and three out of the other.
Honge ithathatũ ciumĩre mĩena-inĩ ya mũrũgamo wa mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa, ithatũ mwena ũmwe na ithatũ mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ.
33 Three bowls, the size of nuts, shall be on each branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. And three similar bowls, in the likeness of nuts, shall be on the other branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. This shall be the form of the six branches, which are to proceed from the stem.
Ikombe ithatũ iturĩtwo na mũhiano wa mahũa ma mũrothi irĩ na tũkonyo na mahũa ikorwo irĩ rũhonge-inĩ rũmwe, nacio ithatũ ikorwo rũu rũngĩ; honge icio ciothe ithathatũ ikorwo ihaana o ũguo, ciumĩte mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa.
34 Then, in the lampstand itself, there shall be four bowls, the size of nuts, and each with little spheres and lilies.
Na mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩra matawa hagĩe ikombe inya cia mũhiano wa mahũa ma mũrothi irĩ na tũkonyo na mahũa.
35 Little spheres under two branches in three places, which together make six, shall proceed from one of the stems.
Gakonyo kamwe gakorwo karĩ rungu rwa honge cia mbere igĩrĩ ciumĩte mũrũgamo-inĩ wa mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa, nako gakonyo ga keerĩ kagĩe rungu rwa honge cia keerĩ igĩrĩ, nako gakonyo ga gatatũ kagĩe thĩ wa honge cia gatatũ igĩrĩ, ciothe nĩ honge ithathatũ.
36 Thus both the little spheres and the branches shall be made out of the same thing: entirely formed from the purest gold.
Tũkonyo tũu na honge icio ikorwo irĩ kĩndũ kĩmwe na mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa, iturĩtwo na thahabu therie.
37 You shall also make seven lamps, and you shall place them upon the lampstand, so that they may give light in every direction.
“Ningĩ ũthondeke matawa mũgwanja maguo na ũmaigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩaguo nĩgeetha mamũrĩke hau mbere ya guo.
38 Likewise, the candle snuffers, and the place where the candles will be extinguished, shall be made from the purest gold.
Magathĩ ma gũtinia ndaambĩ na thaani cia mũrarĩ wa ndaambĩ ikorwo irĩ cia thahabu therie.
39 The entire weight of the candlestick, with all its parts, shall hold one talent of the purest gold.
Taranda ya thahabu therie ĩhũthĩrwo gũthondeka mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa o na indo icio ciothe.
40 Observe, and then make it according to the example that was shown to you on the mountain.”
Ũtigĩrĩre atĩ nĩwacithondeka kũringana na mũhianĩre ũrĩa wonirio ũrĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ.
