Exodus 31
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Behold, I haue called by name, Bezaleel the sonne of Vri, the sonne of Hur of the tribe of Iudah,
“Tazama, nimemchagua Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa kabila la Yuda,
3 Whom I haue filled with the Spirit of God, in wisedome, and in vnderstanding and in knowledge and in all workmanship:
nami nimemjaza Roho wa Mungu, pamoja na ustadi, uwezo na ujuzi katika aina zote za ufundi,
4 To finde out curious workes to worke in golde, and in siluer, and in brasse,
ili kubuni michoro ya kupendeza katika ufundi wa dhahabu, fedha na shaba,
5 Also in the arte to set stones, and to carue in timber, and to worke in all maner of workmaship.
kuchonga vito na kuvitia mahali, kufanya ufundi kwa mbao, na kujishughulisha na aina zote za ufundi.
6 And behold, I haue ioyned with him Aholiab the sonne of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted, haue I put wisdome to make all that I haue commanded thee:
Tena nimemteua Oholiabu mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa kabila la Dani, ili kumsaidia. Pia mafundi wote nimewapa ustadi wa kutengeneza kila kitu nilichokuamuru wewe:
7 That is, the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Arke of the Testimonie, and the Merciseate that shalbe therevpon, with all instruments of the Tabernacle:
Hema la Kukutania, Sanduku la Ushuhuda pamoja na kiti cha rehema juu yake, pia na vifaa vyote vya kwenye hema,
8 Also the Table and the instruments thereof, and the pure Candlesticke with all his instruments, and the Altar of perfume:
meza na vifaa vyake, kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi na vifaa vyake vyote, madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba,
9 Likewise the Altar of burnt offring with al his instruments, and the Lauer with his foote:
madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake vyote, sinia na kinara chake,
10 Also the garments of the ministration, and ye holy garments for Aaron ye Priest, and the garmets of his sonnes, to minister in the Priestes office,
pamoja na mavazi matakatifu yaliyofumwa ya kuhani Aroni, na mavazi kwa ajili ya wanawe wakati wanahudumu katika kazi ya ukuhani,
11 And the anoynting oyle, and sweete perfume for the Sanctuarie: according to all that I haue commanded thee, shall they do.
pia mafuta ya upako na uvumba wenye harufu nzuri kwa ajili ya Mahali Patakatifu. Watavitengeneza sawasawa kama vile nilivyokuagiza wewe.”
12 Afterwarde the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
13 Speake thou also vnto the children of Israel, and say, Notwithstanding keepe yee my Sabbaths: for it is a signe betweene me and you in your generations, that ye may know that I the Lord do sanctifie you.
“Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Ninyi ni lazima mzishike Sabato zangu. Hii itakuwa ni ishara kati yangu na ninyi kwa ajili ya vizazi vijavyo, ili mpate kujua kwamba Mimi Ndimi Bwana, niwafanyaye ninyi watakatifu.
14 Ye shall therefore keepe the Sabbath: for it is holy vnto you: he that defileth it, shall die the death: therefore whosoeuer worketh therin, the same person shalbe euen cut off from among his people.
“‘Mtaishika Sabato, kwa sababu ni takatifu kwenu. Yeyote atakayeinajisi lazima auawe, yeyote atakayefanya kazi siku hiyo lazima akafie mbali na watu wake.
15 Sixe dayes shall men worke, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the holy rest to the Lord: whosoeuer doeth any worke in the Sabbath day, shall dye the death.
Kwa siku sita, mtafanya kazi, lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato ya kupumzika, takatifu kwa Bwana. Yeyote afanyaye kazi yoyote siku ya Sabato ni lazima auawe.
16 Wherfore the children of Israel shall keepe the Sabbath, that they may obserue the rest throughout their generations for an euerlasting couenant.
Waisraeli wataishika Sabato, kuiadhimisha kwa vizazi vijavyo kuwa Agano la milele.
17 It is a signe betweene me and the children of Israel for euer: for in sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen and the earth, and in the seuenth day he ceased, and rested.
Itakuwa ishara kati yangu na Waisraeli milele, kwa kuwa kwa muda wa siku sita Bwana aliumba mbingu na dunia, na siku ya saba akaacha kufanya kazi, akapumzika.’”
18 Thus (when the Lord had made an ende of communing with Moses vpon mount Sinai) he gaue him two Tables of the Testimonie, euen tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Bwana alipomaliza kusema na Mose juu ya Mlima Sinai, Mungu akampa vile vibao viwili vya Ushuhuda, vibao vya mawe vilivyoandikwa kwa kidole cha Mungu.
