Exodus 25
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yehova ananena kwa Mose kuti,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring firstfruits to me: of every man that offereth of his own accord, you shall take them.
“Uza Aisraeli kuti abweretse chopereka kwa Ine. Iwe ulandire choperekacho mʼmalo mwanga kuchokera kwa munthu amene akupereka mwakufuna kwake.
3 And these are the things you must take: gold, and silver, and brass,
Zopereka zimene ulandire kwa anthuwo ndi izi: Golide, siliva ndi mkuwa.
4 Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
Nsalu zobiriwira, zapepo, zofiira, nsalu zofewa, ubweya wambuzi;
5 And rams’ skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:
zikopa za nkhosa zazimuna za utoto wofiira ndi zikopa za akatumbu; matabwa amtengo wa mkesha;
6 Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:
mafuta anyale a olivi, zonunkhiritsa mafuta odzozera ndi zopangira lubani wonunkhira;
7 Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the rational.
miyala yokongola ya mtundu wa onikisi ndi ina yabwino yoyika pa efodi ndi pa chovala cha pachifuwa.
8 And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst of them:
“Iwo andipangire malo wopatulika, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala pakati pawo.
9 According to all the likeness of the tabernacle which I will shew thee, and of all the vessels for the service thereof: and thus you shall make it:
Umange chihema ndiponso ziwiya zamʼkatimo monga momwe Ine ndidzakuonetsere.
10 Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half: the breadth, a cubit and a half: the height, likewise, a cubit and a half.
“Tsono apange bokosi lamatabwa amtengo wa mkesha, ndipo kutalika kwake kukhale masentimita 114, mulifupi mwake masentimita 69, msinkhu wake masentimita 69.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold within and without: and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:
Bokosilo ulikute ndi golide wabwino kwambiri, mʼkati mwake ndi kunja komwe, ndipo upange mkombero wagolide kuzungulira bokosilo.
12 And four golden rings, which thou shall put at the four corners of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.
Upange mphete zinayi zagolide ndipo uzimangirire ku miyendo yake inayi ya bokosilo, mbali ina ziwiri ndi mbali inanso ziwiri.
13 Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.
Kenaka upange mizati yamtengo wa mkesha ndi kuzikuta ndi golide.
14 And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them.
Ndipo ulowetse nsichizo mʼmphete zija za mbali zonse ziwiri za bokosilo kuti azinyamulira.
15 And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.
Nsichizo zizikhala mʼmphete za bokosilo nthawi zonse, zisamachotsedwe.
16 And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.
Ndipo udzayike mʼbokosilo miyala iwiri yolembedwapo malamulo imene Ine ndidzakupatse.
17 Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half.
“Upange chivundikiro cha bokosilo cha golide wabwino kwambiri, kutalika kwake masentimita 114, mulifupi mwake masentimita 69.
18 Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle.
Ndipo upange Akerubi awiri agolide osula ndi nyundo, uwayike mbali ziwiri za chivundikirocho,
19 Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.
kerubi mmodzi mbali ina ndi wina mbali inayo. Akerubiwa uwapangire limodzi ndi chivundikirocho mʼmapeto mwa mbali ziwirizo.
20 Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle, and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is to be covered.
Mapiko a Akerubiwo adzatambasukire pamwamba pa chivundikiro cha bokosilo kuti achiphimbe. Akerubiwo adzakhale choyangʼanana, aliyense kuyangʼana chivundikirocho.
21 In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.
Uyike chivundikirocho pamwamba pa bokosi ndipo mʼbokosilo uyikemo miyala ya malamulo, imene ndidzakupatse.
22 Thence will I give orders, and will speak to thee over the propitiatory, and from the midst of the two cherubims, which shall be upon the ark of the testimony, all things which I will command the children of Israel by thee.
Ndizidzakumana nawe pamenepo, pamwamba pa chivundikiro cha bokosilo, pakati pa Akerubi awiriwo, ndikumadzakupatsa malamulo onse okhudzana ndi Aisraeli.
23 Thou shalt make a table also of setim wood, of two cubits in length, and a cubit in breadth, and a cubit and half in height.
“Upange tebulo la matabwa amtengo wa mkesha, mulitali mwake masentimita 91, mulifupi mwake masentimita 46, msinkhu wake masentimita 69.
24 And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt make to it a golden ledge round about.
Tebulolo ulikute ndi golide wabwino kwambiri ndipo upange mkombero wagolide mʼmbali mwake.
25 And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high: and over the same another little golden crown.
Upange feremu yozungulira tebulo, mulifupi mwake ngati chikhatho cha dzanja, ndipo uyike mkombero wagolide kuzungulira feremuyo.
26 Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put them in the four corners of the same table over each foot.
Upange mphete zinayi zagolide, ndipo uzilumikize ku ngodya zake zinayi, kumene kuli miyendo yake inayi.
27 Under the crown shall the golden rings be, that the bars may be put through them, and the table may be carried.
Mphetezo uziyike kufupi ndi feremu kuti azikolowekamo nsichi zonyamulira tebuloyo.
28 The bars also themselves thou shalt make of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold to bear up the table.
Upange nsichi zamtengo wa mkesha ndi kuzikuta ndi golide kuti azinyamulira tebulolo.
29 Thou shalt prepare also dishes, and bowls, censers, and cups, wherein the libations are to be offered of the purest gold.
Upange mbale ndi zipande zagolide wabwino, pamodzinso ndi mitsuko ndi mabeseni zogwiritsa ntchito popereka nsembe.
30 And thou shalt set upon the table loaves of proposition in my sight always.
Pa tebulopo uyikepo buledi woperekedwa kosalekeza, kuti azikhala pamaso panga nthawi zonse.
31 Thou shalt make also a candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold, the shaft thereof, and the branches, the cups, and the bowls, and the lilies going forth from it.
“Upange choyikapo nyale chagolide wabwino kwambiri. Tsinde lake ndi mphanda zake zikhale zosulidwa ndi nyundo. Zikho zake zokhala ndi mphukira ndi maluwa ake zipangidwire kumodzi.
32 Six branches shall come out of the sides, three out of the one side, and three out of the other.
Mʼmbali mwake mukhale mphanda zisanu ndi imodzi, zitatu mbali iliyonse.
33 Three cups as it were nuts to every branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily; and three cups, likewise of the fashion of nuts in the other branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily. Such shall be the work of the six branches, that are to come out from the shaft:
Zikho zitatu zokhala ngati za maluwa amtowo, mphukira ndi duwa zikhale pa mphanda yoyamba. Pa mphanda yachiwiri pakhalenso zikho zitatu zokhala ngati za maluwa amtowo, mphukira ndi duwa. Ndipo mphanda zonse zisanu ndi imodzi zikhale chimodzimodzi ndipo zituluke mʼchoyikapo nyalecho.
34 And in the candlestick itself shall be four cups in the manner of a nut, and at every one, bowls and lilies.
Pa choyikapo nyalecho pakhale zikho zinayi zopangidwa ngati maluwa amtowo ali ndi mphukira ndi maluwa.
35 Bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six coming forth out of one shaft.
Mphukira yoyamba ikhale mʼmunsi mwa nthambi ziwiri zoyamba za pa choyikapo nyale. Mphukira yachiwiri ikhale mʼmunsi mwa nthambi ziwiri zinazo. Ndipo mphukira yachitatu ikhale mʼmunsi mwa nthambi zina ziwirinso. Zonse pamodzi zikhale nthambi zisanu ndi imodzi
36 And both the bowls and the branches shall be of the same beaten work of the purest gold.
Mphukira ndi nthambi zonse zisulidwe kumodzi ndi choyikapo nyalecho ndi golide wabwino kwambiri.
37 Thou shalt make also seven lamps, and shalt set them upon the candlestick, to give light over against.
“Ndipo upange nyale zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi kuziyika pa choyikapo nyalecho kuti ziwunikire kutsogolo.
38 The snuffers also and where the snuffings shall be put out, shall be made of the purest gold.
Mbaniro ndi zowolera phulusa zikhale zagolide wabwino kwambiri.
39 The whole weight of the candlestick with all the furniture thereof shall be a talent of the purest gold.
Choyikapo nyale ndi zipangizo zonse zipangidwe ndi golide wabwino kwambiri wolemera makilogalamu 34.
40 Look and make it according to the pattern, that was shewn thee in the mount.
Uwonetsetse kuti wapanga zonse monga momwe ndikukuonetsera pa phiri pano.”
