Exodus 25
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
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.
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be ame sia ame si alɔ̃ la, natsɔ nunana siawo dometɔ aɖewo vɛ nam.
3 And these are the things you must take: gold, and silver, and brass,
“Sika, klosalo, akɔbli,
4 Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
avɔ si nye blɔtɔ, avɔ dzĩ, aklala, gbɔ̃fuwo,
5 And rams’ skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:
agbogbalẽ si wode ama dzĩ, gbɔ̃gbalẽ, akasiati,
6 Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:
ami na akaɖiwo, amiʋeʋĩ hena amisisi kple numeme ʋeʋĩ,
7 Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the rational.
onikskpe siwo woatsɔ aɖo kɔmewu kple akɔtaɖonu ŋu,
8 And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst of them:
elabena medi be Israelviwo natu nɔƒe kɔkɔe aɖe nam, afi si manɔ le wo dome.
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:
“Nye nɔƒe sia anye agbadɔ. Mafia ale si nàtui kple nu siwo nàtsɔ aɖo atsyɔ̃ nɛ la wò.
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.
“Tsɔ akasiati nàkpa aɖaka wòadidi sentimita alafa ɖeka kple ewo, wòakeke sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade, eye wòakɔ sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold within and without: and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:
Fa sika nyuitɔ ɖe eme kple egodo siaa, eye nàtsɔ sika nyuitɔ ke amli ɖe aɖaka la togawo kpe ɖo.
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.
Wɔ sikagagɔdɔ̃e ene siwo anɔ abe asigɛ ene, eye nàklã wo ɖe dzogoe ene siwo le ete la ŋu; sikagagɔ̃dɔ̃e eve nanɔ aɖaka la ƒe axa ɖe sia ɖe.
13 Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.
Tsɔ akasiati kpa kpo didiwo, eye nàfa sika nyuitɔ ɖe wo ŋu.
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.
Tsɔ wo ƒo ɖe asigɛ eve siwo le aɖaka la ƒe axa ɖeka dzi la me hena aɖaka la tsɔtsɔ.
15 And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.
Womaɖe ati siawo le sikasigɛawo me o, ke boŋ woanɔ wo me ɖaa.
16 And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.
Ekema nàtsɔ nubabla si matsɔ na wò la ade aɖaka la me.
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.
Tsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ nublanuikpɔkpɔzikpui si adidi sentimita alafa ɖeka kple ewo, eye wòakeke sentimita blaadre-vɔ-ade.
18 Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle.
Tsɔ sika wɔ kerubi eve, eye nàklã wo ɖe nutunu la ƒe didime ƒe nuwo.
19 Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.
Wɔ kerubi ɖeka kple amenuvevezikpui la, eye ɖeka anɔ nutunu la ƒe didime ƒe nu ɖeka.
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.
Kerubiawo adze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo, eye woanɔ amenuvevezikpui la gbɔ kpɔm. Woakeke woƒe aʋalãwo ɖe sikanutunu la dzi.
21 In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.
Tsɔ nutunu la tu aɖaka la nu, eye nàtsɔ kpe siwo dzi woŋlɔ seawo ɖo siwo matsɔ na wò la de aɖaka la me.
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.
Mado go wò le afi ma, aƒo nu kpli wò le amenuvevezikpui la tame, le kerubi eve siwo le nubablaɖaka tame la dome, eye matsɔ nubablakpe siwo dzi meŋlɔ nye sededewo na Israelviwo ɖo la na wò.
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.
“Emegbe la, nàtsɔ akasiati akpa kplɔ̃ wòadidi sentimita blaenyi-vɔ-enyi, akeke sentimita blaene-vɔ-ene, eye wòakɔ sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade.
24 And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt make to it a golden ledge round about.
Fa sika nyuitɔ ɖe edzi, eye nàfa sika ɖe eto.
25 And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high: and over the same another little golden crown.
Tsɔ akasiati si keke milimita blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ la ɖo kplɔ̃ la to kpe ɖo, eye nàtsɔ sika afa ɖe akasiati la to.
26 Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put them in the four corners of the same table over each foot.
Wɔ sikasigɛ ene na kplɔ̃ la, eye nàklã wo ɖe kplɔ̃ la ƒe axa eneawo dzi, woate ɖe afɔti eneawo ŋu.
27 Under the crown shall the golden rings be, that the bars may be put through them, and the table may be carried.
Asigɛawo nate ɖe kplɔ̃ la ƒe to lɔƒo be woatsɔ atiwo ade asigɛawo me hena kplɔ̃ la kɔkɔ.
28 The bars also themselves thou shalt make of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold to bear up the table.
Tsɔ akasiati wɔ kplɔ̃kɔtiawo, eye nàfa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
29 Thou shalt prepare also dishes, and bowls, censers, and cups, wherein the libations are to be offered of the purest gold.
Wɔ sikagbawo, sikagatsiwo, nutɔgbawo, goewo kple trewo, nu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le kplɔ̃a dzi,
30 And thou shalt set upon the table loaves of proposition in my sight always.
eye nàtsɔ Ŋkumeɖobolo tɔxɛ ada ɖe kplɔ̃ la dzi le nye ŋkume ɣe sia ɣi.
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.
“Tsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ akaɖiti lae. Na akaɖiti blibo la nanye nu ɖeka; ele be woatu akaɖiti la ƒe afɔwo, eƒe titinati diditɔ, akaɖiawo kple seƒoƒoawo nanye nu blibo ɖeka.
32 Six branches shall come out of the sides, three out of the one side, and three out of the other.
“Alɔ ade nanɔ akaɖiti la ƒe axawo dzi, etɔ̃ nanɔ akaɖiti la ƒe axawo kple eve dzi.
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:
Kplu etɔ̃ siwo wowɔ abe yevuzi ƒe seƒoƒo siwo do, eye woke ene la nanɔ alɔdze ɖeka ŋu, etɔ̃ nanɔ alɔdze bubu ŋu. Nenema ke wòanɔ na alɔdze adeawo siwo katã le akaɖiti la kɔgo ŋu.
34 And in the candlestick itself shall be four cups in the manner of a nut, and at every one, bowls and lilies.
Kplu ene siwo wowɔ abe yevuzi ƒe seƒoƒo si do, eye wòke ene la nanɔ akaɖiti la dzi.
35 Bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six coming forth out of one shaft.
Seƒoƒo ɖeka kple eƒe tamekuku nanɔ alɔdze eve ƒe kpeƒe; ɖeka nanɔ alɔdze eve siwo kplɔ gbãtɔ ɖo la ƒe kpeƒe, eye ɖeka hã nanɔ etɔ̃lia ƒe kpeƒe, ale be alɔdzeawo nanye ade.
36 And both the bowls and the branches shall be of the same beaten work of the purest gold.
Ele be woawɔ atsyɔ̃ɖonuawo kple alɔdzeawo kple titinati didi la siaa kple sika nyuitɔ woanye nu blibo ɖeka.
37 Thou shalt make also seven lamps, and shalt set them upon the candlestick, to give light over against.
Le esia megbe la, wɔ akaɖi adre na akaɖiti la, eye nàna woaklẽ ɖe ŋgɔ.
38 The snuffers also and where the snuffings shall be put out, shall be made of the purest gold.
Tsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ ɖovulãnuwo, eye nàtsɔ eya ke awɔ agba vi siwo me woada wo ɖo la.
39 The whole weight of the candlestick with all the furniture thereof shall be a talent of the purest gold.
Sika nyuitɔ si ŋu dɔ woawɔ na akaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo la ƒe kpekpeme nade kilogram blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃.
40 Look and make it according to the pattern, that was shewn thee in the mount.
“Kpɔ egbɔ be nu sia nu sɔ ɖe nu si mele fiawòm le toa dzi la dzi tututu.”
