< Exodus 36 >

1 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whom Jehovah had put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work of the service of the sanctuary — according to all that Jehovah had commanded.
Kwa hiyo Bezaleli, Oholiabu na kila mtu Bwana aliyempa ustadi na uwezo wa kujua jinsi ya kufanya kazi zote za kujenga mahali patakatifu wataifanya hiyo kazi kama vile Bwana alivyoagiza.”
2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart God had put wisdom, every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it.
Ndipo Mose akawaita Bezaleli na Oholiabu na kila mtu mwenye ustadi ambaye Bwana alikuwa amempa uwezo na mwenye kupenda kuja na kufanya kazi.
3 And they took from Moses every heave-offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought him voluntary offerings morning by morning.
Wakapokea kutoka kwa Mose sadaka zote ambazo Waisraeli walikuwa wameleta ili kuifanya kazi ya ujenzi wa Mahali Patakatifu. Nao watu wakaendelea kuleta sadaka za hiari kila asubuhi.
4 And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they wrought,
Ikafika wakati mafundi wote wenye ujuzi waliokuwa wakiifanya kazi yote ya mahali patakatifu wakasimamisha kazi zao,
5 and spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded to be done.
wakaja na kumwambia Mose, “Watu wanaleta vitu vingi kuliko tunavyohitaji kwa ajili ya kazi hii ambayo Bwana ameagiza ifanyike.”
6 Then Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed through the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary! So the people were restrained from bringing;
Ndipo Mose akatoa agizo, nao wakapeleka neno hili katika kambi yote: “Mtu yeyote mwanaume au mwanamke asilete tena kitu chochote kwa ajili ya sadaka ya mahali patakatifu.” Hivyo watu wakazuiliwa kuleta zaidi,
7 for the work they had was sufficient for all the work to do it, and it was too much.
kwa sababu walivyokuwa navyo tayari vilitosha na kuzidi kuifanya kazi yote.
8 And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubim of artistic work did he make them.
Watu wote wenye ustadi miongoni mwa wafanyakazi wote wakatengeneza maskani kwa mapazia kumi ya kitani iliyosokotwa vizuri, na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu, naye fundi stadi akatirizi makerubi kwenye mapazia hayo.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits — one measure for all the curtains.
Mapazia yote yalitoshana kwa ukubwa: kila moja lilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa ishirini na nane, na upana wa dhiraa nne
10 And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled he one to another.
Wakayaunganisha mapazia matano pamoja, pia wakafanya vivyo hivyo kwa hayo mengine matano.
11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.
Kisha wakatengeneza vitanzi vya kitambaa cha buluu kwenye upindo wa pazia la mwisho la fungu la kwanza, pia wakafanya vivyo hivyo na pazia la fungu la mwisho.
12 He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another.
Wakatengeneza pia vitanzi hamsini katika pazia mmoja, na vitanzi vingine hamsini kwenye pazia la mwisho la fungu hilo lingine, nazo vitanzi vyote vikaelekeana.
13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one.
Kisha wakatengeneza vifungo hamsini vya dhahabu, na wakavitumia kufunga na kuunganisha zile fungu mbili za mapazia pamoja ili maskani ipate kuwa kitu kimoja.
14 And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them.
Wakatengeneza mapazia kumi na moja ya singa za mbuzi kwa ajili ya kufunika maskani.
15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain — one measure for the eleven curtains.
Mapazia hayo kumi na moja yalikuwa na kipimo kimoja, yaani urefu wa dhiraa thelathini, na upana wa dhiraa nne.
16 And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.
Wakaunganisha mapazia matano kuwa fungu moja, na hayo mengine sita kuwa fungu lingine.
17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.
Kisha wakatengeneza vitanzi hamsini kwenye upindo wa pazia la mwisho la fungu moja, na vivyo hivyo kwenye upindo wa pazia la mwisho la fungu hilo lingine.
18 And he made fifty clasps of copper to couple the tent, that it might be one.
Wakatengeneza vifungo hamsini vya shaba ili kukaza hema pamoja kuwa kitu kimoja.
19 And he made a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above [that].
Kisha wakatengeneza kifuniko cha hema kwa ngozi za kondoo dume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu, na juu yake kifuniko cha ngozi za pomboo.
20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up;
Wakatengeneza mihimili ya kusimamisha ya mti wa mshita kwa ajili ya maskani.
21 ten cubits the length of the boards, and one cubit and a half the breadth of one board;
Kila mhimili ulikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa kumi, na upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu,
22 two tenons in one board, connected one with the other: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
zikiwa na ndimi mbili zilizokuwa sambamba kila mmoja na mwingine. Wakatengeneza mihimili yote ya maskani jinsi hii.
23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward;
Wakatengeneza mihimili ishirini kwa ajili ya upande wa kusini wa maskani,
24 and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board, for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.
na wakatengeneza vitako arobaini vya fedha vya kuweka chini ya hiyo mihimili, vitako viwili kwa kila mhimili, kimoja chini ya kila ulimi.
25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side toward the north, he made twenty boards,
Kwa upande wa kaskazini wa maskani wakatengeneza mihimili ishirini
26 and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
na vitako arobaini vya fedha, viwili chini ya kila mhimili.
27 And at the rear of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards;
Wakatengeneza mihimili sita kwa mwisho ulio mbali, yaani upande wa magharibi wa maskani,
28 and he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;
na mihimili miwili ikatengenezwa kwa ajili ya pembe za maskani za upande uliokuwa mbali.
29 and they were joined beneath, and were coupled together at the top thereof into one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners;
Katika pembe hizi mbili mihimili yake ilikuwa miwili kuanzia chini mpaka juu, na ikaingizwa kwenye pete moja; mihimili ya pembe hizi mbili ilifanana.
30 and there were eight boards, and their silver bases: sixteen bases, under every board two bases.
Kwa hiyo kulikuwa na mihimili minane, na vitako kumi na sita vya fedha, viwili chini ya kila mhimili.
31 — And he made bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
Wakatengeneza pia mataruma kwa mti wa mshita: matano kwa ajili ya mihimili ya upande mmoja wa maskani,
32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle at the rear, westward.
matano kwa ajili ya mihimili ya upande mwingine, na matano kwa ajili mihimili ya upande wa magharibi, mwisho kabisa mwa maskani.
33 And he made the middle bar in the midst of the boards reach from one end to the other.
Wakatengeneza taruma la katikati, likapenya katikati ya mihimili kutoka mwisho mmoja hadi mwisho mwingine.
34 And he overlaid the boards with gold; and made their rings of gold [as] receptacles for the bars; and overlaid the bars with gold.
Wakaifunika hiyo mihimili kwa dhahabu, na wakatengeneza pete za dhahabu za kushikilia hayo mataruma. Pia wakayafunika hayo mataruma kwa dhahabu.
35 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus: of artistic work he made it [with] cherubim.
Wakatengeneza pazia la nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu na kitani safi iliyosokotwa vizuri, naye fundi stadi akatirizi makerubi kwenye hilo pazia.
36 And he made four pillars of acacia[-wood] for it, and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four bases of silver.
Wakatengeneza nguzo nne za mti wa mshita kwa ajili yake na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu. Wakatengeneza kulabu za dhahabu kwa ajili ya nguzo hizo, na kusubu vitako vinne vya fedha.
37 And he made a curtain for the entrance of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery;
Kwa ajili ya ingilio la hema wakatengeneza pazia la nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu na kitani safi iliyosokotwa vizuri, kazi ya mtarizi.
38 and its five pillars with their hooks; and he overlaid their capitals and their connecting-rods with gold; and their five bases were of copper.
Pia wakatengeneza nguzo tano zenye kulabu. Wakafunika ncha za juu za hizo nguzo pamoja na tepe zake kwa dhahabu, na pia wakatengeneza vitako vyake vitano vya shaba.
