Exodus 31
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yahweh akasema na Musa,
2 Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,
“Angalia, nimemwita kwa jina lake Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa kabila ya Yuda
3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.
Nami nimemjaza Bezaleli na roho ya Mungu, katika hekima, na maarifa, na ujuzi, na mambo ya kazi ya kila aina,
4 To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
ili abuni kazi za ustadi, kuwa fundi wa dhahabu, na wa fedha, na wa shaba,
5 Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
na kukata vito kwa kutiwa mahali, na kuchora miti, na kufanya kazi ya ustadi iwayo yote.
6 And I have given him for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of every skillful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,
Tena, nimemchagua, awe pamoja naye Oholiabu, mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa kabila ya Dani. Nami nimetia hekima katika mioyo ya wote wenye moyo wa hekima, ili wapate kufanya vyote nilivyokuagiza. Hii ni,
7 The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,
hema ya kukutania na sanduku la ushuhuda, na kiti cha rehema kilicho juu yake, na vyombo vyote vya Hema;
8 And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
na meza, na vyombo vyake, na kinara cha taa safi pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote,
9 And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
na madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba; na madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake vyote, na birika na tako lake.
10 The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:
Pia mavazi yenye kufumwa kwa uzuri, na mavazi matakatifu ya Haruni kuhani, na mavazi ya wanawe, ili kutumika katika kazi ya ukuhani.
11 The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
Pia mafuta ya kutiwa, na uvumba wa manukato mazuri, kwa ajili ya mahali patakatifu; sawasawa na yote niliyokuagiza ndivyo watakavyofanya wao.
12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
akasema na Musa,
13 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that thou keep my sabbath: because it is a sign between me and you in your generations: that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify you.
“Waambie wana wa Israeli, 'Hakika mtazishika Sabato zangu, kwa kuwa ni ishara kati ya mimi na ninyi katika vizazi vyenu vyote; ili mpate kujua ya kuwa mimi ndimi BWANA niwatakasaye ninyi.
14 Keep you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do my work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of his people.
Basi mtaishika hiyo Sabato; kwa kuwa ni takatifu kwenu; kila mtu atakayeitia unajisi hakika yake atauawa; kwa kuwa kila mtu afanyaye kazi katika siku hiyo, nafsi hiyo itakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.
15 Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.
Kazi itafanywa siku sita; lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato ya kustarehe kabisa, takatifu kwa BWANA; kila mtu atakayefanya kazi yo yote katika siku ya Sabato, hakika yake atauawa.
16 Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
Kwa ajili ya hayo wana wa Israeli wataishika Sabato. Kuiangalia sana hiyo Sabato katika vizazi vyao vyote, ni agano la milele.
17 Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.
Ni ishara kati ya mimi na wana wa Israeli milele; kwani kwa siku sita Yahweh alifanya mbingu na nchi, akastarehe kwa siku ya saba na kupumzika.
18 And the Lord, when he had ended these words in mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God.
Hapo Mungu alipokuwa amekwisha zungumza na Musa katika mlima wa Sinai, akampa hizo mbao mbili za ushuhuda, mbao mbili za mawe, zilizoandikwa kwa mkono wake.
