Exodus 25
1 The Lord told Moses,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 “Instruct the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive my offering from everyone who willingly wants to give.
“Waambie Waisraeli waniletee sadaka. Utapokea sadaka kwa niaba yangu kutoka kwa kila mtu ambaye moyo wake wapenda kutoa.
3 These are the items you are to accept from them as contributions: gold, silver, and bronze;
Hizi ndizo sadaka utakazozipokea kutoka kwao: dhahabu, fedha na shaba;
4 blue, purple, and crimson thread; finely-spun linen and goat hair;
nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, za rangi nyekundu, pamoja na kitani safi; singa za mbuzi;
5 ram skins that have been tanned, and fine leather; acacia wood;
ngozi za kondoo dume zilizopakwa rangi nyekundu, na ngozi za pomboo; mbao za mshita;
6 olive oil for the lamps; spices for the olive oil used in anointing and for the fragrant incense;
mafuta ya zeituni kwa ajili ya taa; vikolezi kwa ajili ya mafuta ya upako, pamoja na uvumba wa harufu nzuri;
7 and onyx stones and other gemstones to be used in making the ephod and breastpiece.
na vito vya shohamu na vito vingine vya thamani vya kuweka kwenye kisibau na kile kifuko cha kifuani.
8 They are to make me a sanctuary so I can live among them.
“Kisha uwaamuru wanitengenezee mahali patakatifu, nami nitakaa miongoni mwao.
9 You must make the Tabernacle and all its furnishings according to design I'm going to show you.
Tengeneza hema hili na vyombo vyake vyote sawasawa na kielelezo nitakachokuonyesha.
10 They are to make an Ark of acacia wood that measures two and a half cubits long by a cubit and a half wide by one and a half cubits high.
“Nao watatengeneza Sanduku la mbao za mshita, lenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili na nusu, upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.
11 Cover it with pure gold on the inside and the outside, and make a gold trim to go around it.
Utalifunika hilo Sanduku kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu juu yake kulizunguka.
12 Cast four gold rings and attach them to its four feet, two on one side and two on the other.
Utalisubu kwa pete nne za dhahabu na kuzifungia kwenye miguu yake minne, pete mbili kwa upande mmoja na pete mbili kwa upande mwingine.
13 Make poles of acacia wood and cover them with gold.
Kisha utatengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu.
14 Place the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, so it can be carried.
Utaiingiza hiyo mipiko kwenye zile pete katika pande mbili za Sanduku ili kulibeba.
15 The poles are to stay in the rings of the Ark; don't take them out.
Hiyo mipiko itabakia daima katika hizo pete za hilo Sanduku; haitaondolewa.
16 Place inside the Ark the Testimony which I'm going to give you.
Kisha weka ndani ya hilo Sanduku ule Ushuhuda nitakaokupa.
17 You are to make an atonement cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long by a cubit and a half wide.
“Tengeneza kifuniko cha upatanisho cha dhahabu safi, chenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu.
18 Make two cherubim of hammered gold for the ends of the atonement cover,
Tengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.
19 and put one cherub on each end. All of this is to be made from one piece of gold.
Tengeneza kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho mmoja, na kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho mwingine; watengeneze makerubi hao wawe kitu kimoja na hicho kifuniko katika miisho hiyo miwili.
20 The cherubim are to be designed with spread wings pointing upward, covering the atonement cover. The cherubim are to be placed facing each another, looking down towards the atonement cover.
Makerubi hao watakuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, yakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao wataelekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.
21 Place the atonement cover on top of the Ark, and put the Testimony that I'm going to give you inside the Ark.
Weka huo Ushuhuda nitakaokupa ndani ya hilo Sanduku la Agano, na uweke hicho kifuniko juu ya hilo Sanduku.
22 I will meet with you there as arranged above the atonement cover, between the two cherubim that stand over the Ark of the Testimony, and I will talk with you about all the commands I will give the Israelites.
Hapo juu ya hicho kifuniko, kati ya hao makerubi wawili walioko juu ya hilo Sanduku la Ushuhuda, hapo ndipo nitakapokutana nawe na kukupa maagizo yangu kwa ajili ya Waisraeli.
23 Then you are to make a table of acacia wood two cubits long by a cubit wide by a cubit and a half high.
“Tengeneza meza ya mbao za mshita yenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili, upana wa dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.
24 Cover it with pure gold and make a gold trim to go around it.
Ifunike kwa dhahabu safi, na kuitengenezea ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
25 Make a border around it the width of a hand and put a gold trim on the border.
Kisha tengeneza upapi wenye upana wa nyanda nne, na ufanyie ule upapi ukingo wa dhahabu kuuzunguka pande zote.
26 Make four gold rings for the table and attach them to the four corners of the table by the legs.
Tengeneza pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili ya meza hiyo, na uzifungie kwenye pembe nne, pale penye miguu yake minne.
27 The rings are to be close to the border to hold the poles used to carry the table.
Pete hizo zitakuwa karibu na ukingo ule ili kuishikilia ile mipiko itakayotumika kuibebea hiyo meza.
28 Make the poles of acacia wood for carrying the table and cover them with gold.
Tengeneza mipiko hiyo kwa mbao za mshita, uifunike na dhahabu, uitumie kubeba hiyo meza.
29 Make plates and dishes for the table, as well as pitchers and bowls for pouring out drink offerings. Make all of them out of pure gold.
Tengeneza sahani zake na masinia yake kwa dhahabu safi, pamoja na bilauri na bakuli zake kwa ajili ya kumiminia sadaka.
30 Place the Bread of the Presence on the table so it is always in my presence.
Utaweka mikate ya Wonyesho juu ya meza hii iwe mbele yangu daima.
31 Make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. The whole of it is to be made of one piece—its base, shaft, cups, buds, and flowers.
“Tengeneza kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi iliyofuliwa vizuri katika kitako chake na ufito wake; vikombe vyake vinavyofanana na ua, matovu yake na maua yake viwe kitu kimoja.
32 It is to have six branches coming out of the sides of the lampstand, three on each side.
Matawi sita yatatokeza kuanzia ule ufito wa katikati wa kinara cha taa: matawi matatu upande mmoja na matatu upande mwingine.
33 Have three cups shaped like almond flowers on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch. Each of six branches that come out will have three cups shaped like almond flowers, all complete with buds and petals.
Vikombe vitatu vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yenye matovu na maua vitakuwa katika tawi moja, vikombe vitatu katika tawi jingine, na vivyo hivyo kwa matawi yote sita yanayotokeza kwenye kile kinara cha taa.
34 On the main shaft of the lampstand make four cups shaped like almond flowers, complete with buds and petals.
Juu ya kinara chenyewe vitakuwepo vikombe vinne vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yakiwa na matovu yake na maua yake.
35 On the six branches that come out from the lampstand, place a bud under the first pair of branches, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.
Tovu moja litakuwa chini ya jozi ya kwanza ya matawi yaliyotokeza kwenye kinara cha taa, tovu la pili chini ya jozi ya pili, nalo tovu la tatu chini ya jozi ya tatu, yaani matawi sita kwa jumla.
36 The buds and branches are to be made with the lampstand as one piece, hammered out of pure gold.
Matovu na matawi yote yatakuwa kitu kimoja na kile kinara cha taa, yakifuliwa kwa dhahabu safi.
37 Make seven lamps and place them on the lampstand so they can light up the area in front of it.
“Kisha tengeneza taa zake saba na uziweke juu ya kinara hicho ili ziangaze mbele yake.
38 The wick tongs and their trays are to be made of pure gold.
Mikasi ya kusawazishia tambi, pamoja na masinia, zote zitakuwa za dhahabu safi.
39 The lampstand and all these utensils will require a talent of pure gold.
Utatumia talanta moja ya dhahabu safi kutengeneza hicho kinara na vifaa vyake vyote.
40 Be sure to make everything according to the design you were shown on the mountain.”
Hakikisha kuwa umevitengeneza sawasawa na ule mfano ulioonyeshwa kule mlimani.
