Exodus 25
1 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
“Waambie Waisraeli wanitolee sadaka kila mtu nawe utapokea kutoka kwa mtu yeyote atakayetoa kwa moyo mkunjufu. Lazima upokee hizi sadaka kwa ajili yangu.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
Hizi ndio sadaka utakazopokea kwao; dhahabu, fedha na shaba,
4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
buluu, zambarau na nyekundu, na nguo za kitani safi, na manyoya ya mbuzi;
5 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,
na ngozi za kondoo dume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu na ngozi za pomboo, miti ya mjohoro,
6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
mafuta ya ile taa, na viungo vya manukato kwa yale mafuta ya kupaka na kwa ule uvumba wenye harufu nzuri;
7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
mawe ya shohamu na mawe mengine ya kutiwa kwa ile naivera na kwa kile kifuko cha kifuani.
8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
Waache wanifanyie patakatifu ili nipate kukaa kati yao.
9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
Lazima ufanye sawa na haya yote nikuoneshayo mfano wa maskani, na vifaa vyake, ndivyo utakavyovifanya.
10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
Wana paswa wafanye sanduku la mti wa mjohoro. Urefu wake na uwe dhiraa mbili na nusu; na upana wake moja na nusu, na kwenda juu kwake dhiraa moja na nusu.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
Lazima ulifunike nadni kwa dhahabu safi, na utie na ukingo wa dhahabu kulizunguka pande zote.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
Nawe uta yayusha katika viduara vinne vya dhahabu, na kuviweka katika miguu yake minne; viduara viwili upande mmoja, na viduara viwili upande wake wa pili.
13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
Nawe lazima ufanya miti mirefu ya mshita na kuifunika dhahabu.
14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
Nawe lazima uweka hiyo miti katika vile viduara vilivyo katika pande mbili za sanduku ili kulichukua hilo sanduku.
15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
Hiyo miti itakaa katika vile viduara vya sanduku; haitaondolewa.
16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
Kisha weka ndani ya sanduku hizo amri nitakazokupa.
17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
Nawe lazima utengeneze kifuniko cha dhahabu safi. Urefu wake utakuwa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wake dhiraa moja na nusu.
18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
Nawe fanya makerubi mawili ya dhahabu katika hiyo miisho miwili ya kiti cha rehema.
19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
Weka kerubi moja mwisho mmoja wa kiti cha rehema, na kerubi la pili mwisho wa pili. Lazima hao makerubi wawe kitu kimoja na kiti cha rehema.
20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
Na hao makerubi watainua mabawa yao juu, na kukifunika hicho kiti cha rehema kwa mabawa yao. Nyuso zao makerubi zitaelekeana na zitaelekea kiti cha rehema.
21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
Lazima uweke kiti cha rehema juu ya hilo sanduku, kisha uwe hizo amri nitakazokupa ndani ya sanduku.
22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
Nami nitaonana nawe hapo katika sanduku. Nitazungumza nawe pale nilipo juu ya kiti cha rehema. Itakuwa katikati ya hao makerubi mawili waliyo juu ya sanduku la ushuhuda nitakapo zungumza na wewe katika mambo yote nitakayokuagiza kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli.
23 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
Nawe fanya meza ya mti wa mshiti. Urefu wake utakuwa dhiraa mbili, na upana wake dhiraa moja, na kwenda juu kwake dhiraa moja na nusu.
24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
Uifunike dhahabu safi na kuifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu wa kuizunguka pande zote.
25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
Lazima ufanyie fremu ya kuizunguka pande zote, upana wake utakuwa nyanda nne, ukingo wa dhahabu wa kuuzunguka fremu pande zote.
26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
Uifanyie viduara vinne vya dhahabu na kuvitia vile viduara katika pembe zake nne, katika miguu yake minne ilipo kuwa.
27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
Vile viduara na viwe karibu na ile fremu ili viwe mahali pa kutilia ile miti, ya kuichukulia meza.
28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
Fanya ile miti ya mti wa mshita, na kuifunika dhahabu, kwamba ile meza ichukuliwe kwayo.
29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.

30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
Nawe utaiweka mikate ya wonyesho juu ya meza mbele yangu daima.
31 And thou shalt make a lampstand of pure gold: of beaten work shall the lampstand be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
Nawe fanya kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi; hicho kinara na kifanywe cha kazi ya kufua, kitako chake, na mti wake, vikombe vyake, na matovu yake, na maua yake, vyote vitakuwa vya kitu kimoja nacho.
32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the lampstand out of the one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side:
Nacho kitakuwa na matawi sita yenye kutoka ubavuni mwake - matawi matatu ya kinara upande wake mmoja, na matawi matatu ya kinara upande wake wa pili.
33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the lampstand.
Tawi la kwanza lazima liwe na vikombe vitatu vilivyotengenezwa mfano wa maua ya mlozi katika tawi moja, tovu na ua na vikombe vitatu vilivyofanywa mfano wa maua ya mlozi katika tawi la pili, tovu na ua. Vivyo hivyo hayo matawi yote sita yatokayo katika kile kinara.
34 And in the lampstand shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
Katika hicho kinara, lazima kuwe na vikombe vinne vilivyofanywa mfano wa maua ya mlozi, matovu yake, na maua yake.
35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the lampstand.
Lazima kuwe na tovu chini ya matawi - mawili la kitu kimoja nacho, na tovu chini ya matawi mawili la kitu kimoja nacho, na tovu chini ya matawi mawili la kitu kimoja nacho, kwa hayo matawi sita yatokayo katika kile kinara.
36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
Matovu yake na matawi yake yatakuwa ya kitu kimoja nacho, kiwe chote pia kazi moja ya kufua, ya dhahabu safi.
37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
Lazima nawe uzifanye hivyo vinara saba na taa zake saba, nao wataziwasha hizo taa zake, zitoe nuru mbele yake.
38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.
Na makoleo yake, na visahani vyake, vyote vitakuwa vya dhahabu safi.
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
