< Exodus 37 >
1 And Bezalel made the ark of acacia-wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.
Bezaleli akatengeneza Sanduku la mbao za mshita: urefu wake ulikuwa dhiraa mbili na nusu, upana wake dhiraa moja na nusu, na kimo chake dhiraa moja na nusu.
2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
Akalifunika kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulizungushia ukingo wa dhahabu.
3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, in the four feet thereof: even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
Akasubu pete nne za dhahabu na kuzifungia kwenye miguu yake minne, pete mbili kwa upande mmoja na pete mbili kwa upande mwingine.
4 And he made staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Kisha akatengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu.
5 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

Kisha akatengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.
8 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the ark-cover made he the cherubim at the two ends thereof.
Akatengeneza kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho mmoja, na kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho mwingine; akawatengeneza kuwa kitu kimoja na hicho kifuniko katika miisho hiyo miwili.
9 And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, screening the ark-cover with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the ark-cover were the faces of the cherubim.
Makerubi hao walikuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, wakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao walielekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.
