Exodus 36
1 Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord 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 when Moses had called them, and every skillful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,
Ndipo Mose akawaita Bezaleli na Oholiabu na kila mtu mwenye ustadi ambaye Bwana alikuwa amempa uwezo na mwenye kupenda kuja na kufanya kazi.
3 He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.
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 Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,
Ikafika wakati mafundi wote wenye ujuzi waliokuwa wakiifanya kazi yote ya mahali patakatifu wakasimamisha kazi zao,
5 Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.
wakaja na kumwambia Mose, “Watu wanaleta vitu vingi kuliko tunavyohitaji kwa ajili ya kazi hii ambayo Bwana ameagiza ifanyike.”
6 Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier’s voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,
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 Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.
kwa sababu walivyokuwa navyo tayari vilitosha na kuzidi kuifanya kazi yote.
8 And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:
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 four: all the curtains were of the same size.
Mapazia yote yalitoshana kwa ukubwa: kila moja lilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa ishirini na nane, na upana wa dhiraa nne
10 And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.
Wakayaunganisha mapazia matano pamoja, pia wakafanya vivyo hivyo kwa hayo mengine matano.
11 He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,
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 That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.
Wakatengeneza pia vitanzi hamsini katika pazia mmoja, na vitanzi vingine hamsini kwenye pazia la mwisho la fungu hilo lingine, nazo vitanzi vyote vikaelekeana.
13 Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.
Kisha wakatengeneza vifungo hamsini vya dhahabu, na wakavitumia kufunga na kuunganisha zile fungu mbili za mapazia pamoja ili maskani ipate kuwa kitu kimoja.
14 He made also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
Wakatengeneza mapazia kumi na moja ya singa za mbuzi kwa ajili ya kufunika maskani.
15 One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.
Mapazia hayo kumi na moja yalikuwa na kipimo kimoja, yaani urefu wa dhiraa thelathini, na upana wa dhiraa nne.
16 Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.
Wakaunganisha mapazia matano kuwa fungu moja, na hayo mengine sita kuwa fungu lingine.
17 And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.
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 fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.
Wakatengeneza vifungo hamsini vya shaba ili kukaza hema pamoja kuwa kitu kimoja.
19 He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.
Kisha wakatengeneza kifuniko cha hema kwa ngozi za kondoo dume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu, na juu yake kifuniko cha ngozi za pomboo.
20 He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.
Wakatengeneza mihimili ya kusimamisha ya mti wa mshita kwa ajili ya maskani.
21 The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.
Kila mhimili ulikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa kumi, na upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu,
22 There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made 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 Of which twenty were at the south side southward,
Wakatengeneza mihimili ishirini kwa ajili ya upande wa kusini wa maskani,
24 With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.
na wakatengeneza vitako arobaini vya fedha vya kuweka chini ya hiyo mihimili, vitako viwili kwa kila mhimili, kimoja chini ya kila ulimi.
25 At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.
Kwa upande wa kaskazini wa maskani wakatengeneza mihimili ishirini
26 With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.
na vitako arobaini vya fedha, viwili chini ya kila mhimili.
27 But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,
Wakatengeneza mihimili sita kwa mwisho ulio mbali, yaani upande wa magharibi wa maskani,
28 And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:
na mihimili miwili ikatengenezwa kwa ajili ya pembe za maskani za upande uliokuwa mbali.
29 Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at 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 So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.
Kwa hiyo kulikuwa na mihimili minane, na vitako kumi na sita vya fedha, viwili chini ya kila mhimili.
31 He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of 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 others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.
matano kwa ajili ya mihimili ya upande mwingine, na matano kwa ajili mihimili ya upande wa magharibi, mwisho kabisa mwa maskani.
33 He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.
Wakatengeneza taruma la katikati, likapenya katikati ya mihimili kutoka mwisho mmoja hadi mwisho mwingine.
34 And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.
Wakaifunika hiyo mihimili kwa dhahabu, na wakatengeneza pete za dhahabu za kushikilia hayo mataruma. Pia wakayafunika hayo mataruma kwa dhahabu.
35 He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:
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 four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets 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 He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.
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 five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.
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.
