Exodus 36
1 So Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other craftsmen with the necessary expertise and given the skill and ability by the Lord, are to work out how to accomplish all the work of constructing the sanctuary as commanded by the Lord.”
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 Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled people who had been given special abilities by the Lord, everyone willing to come and do 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 Moses gave them everything the Israelites had contributed to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. In the meantime the people went on bringing freewill offerings every morning,
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 so much so that all the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary stopped what they were doing
Ikafika wakati mafundi wote wenye ujuzi waliokuwa wakiifanya kazi yote ya mahali patakatifu wakasimamisha kazi zao,
5 and went and told Moses, “The people have already brought enough to complete the work the Lord has ordered us to do.”
wakaja na kumwambia Mose, “Watu wanaleta vitu vingi kuliko tunavyohitaji kwa ajili ya kazi hii ambayo Bwana ameagiza ifanyike.”
6 Moses gave the order, and an announcement was made throughout the camp: “Men and women, don't bring anything more as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were stopped from bringing anything more,
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 since there was already more than enough to do all the work necessary.
kwa sababu walivyokuwa navyo tayari vilitosha na kuzidi kuifanya kazi yote.
8 The skilled craftsmen among the workers made the ten curtains for the Tabernacle. They were made of finely-spun linen together with blue, purple, and crimson thread, embroidered with cherubim.
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 Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long by four cubits wide, and they were all the same size.
Mapazia yote yalitoshana kwa ukubwa: kila moja lilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa ishirini na nane, na upana wa dhiraa nne
10 They joined together five of the curtains as one set, and the other five he joined as a second set.
Wakayaunganisha mapazia matano pamoja, pia wakafanya vivyo hivyo kwa hayo mengine matano.
11 They used blue material to make loops on the edge of the last curtain of both sets.

Wakatengeneza pia vitanzi hamsini katika pazia mmoja, na vitanzi vingine hamsini kwenye pazia la mwisho la fungu hilo lingine, nazo vitanzi vyote vikaelekeana.
13 They also made fifty gold clips and joined the curtains together with the clips, so that the Tabernacle was a single structure.
Kisha wakatengeneza vifungo hamsini vya dhahabu, na wakavitumia kufunga na kuunganisha zile fungu mbili za mapazia pamoja ili maskani ipate kuwa kitu kimoja.
14 They made eleven curtains of goat hair as a tent to cover the Tabernacle.

21 Each frame was ten cubits long by one and a half cubits wide.
Kila mhimili ulikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa kumi, na upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu,
22 Each frame had two pegs so the frames could be connected to each other. They made all the frames of the Tabernacle like this.

Wakatengeneza pia mataruma kwa mti wa mshita: matano kwa ajili ya mihimili ya upande mmoja wa maskani,
32 five for those on the north, and five for those at the back of the Tabernacle, to the west.
matano kwa ajili ya mihimili ya upande mwingine, na matano kwa ajili mihimili ya upande wa magharibi, mwisho kabisa mwa maskani.
33 They made the central crossbar which was placed halfway up the frames and ran from one end to the other.
