Exodus 25

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

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.

“Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke nau ʻomi kiate au ʻae meʻaʻofa; pea ʻilonga ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku foaki loto lelei pe, te mou maʻu mei ai ʻeku meʻaʻofa.

3 And this [is] the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

Pea ko e meʻaʻofa ʻeni te mou maʻu ʻiate kinautolu; ko e koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa.

4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ [hair],

Mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e silika, mo e fulufuluʻi kosi,

5 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,

Mo e kili ʻoe sipitangata kuo tuku kula, mo e kili ʻoe pasa, mo e ʻakau ko e sitimi,

6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

Mo e lolo ke maama ʻaki, mo e ʻakau nanamu ki he lolo tākai, pea ki he meʻa namu kakala.

7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

Ko e maka ko e oniki, mo e maka ke ʻai ki he ʻefoti, pea ki he sifa fatafata.

8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

Pea tuku ke nau ngaohi kiate au ʻae Potu Toputapu; koeʻuhi ke u nofo ʻiate kinautolu.

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].

Te mou ngaohi ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē te u fakahā kiate koe, ki he fakatātā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, mo e fakatātā ʻo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē.

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.

“Pea te nau ngaohi ha puha ʻoe ʻakau ko e sitimi: ko e hanga ʻe nima mo e toe ʻa hono lōloa ʻo ia, pea ko e hanga ʻe tolu ʻa hono māukupu, mo e hanga ʻe tolu ʻa hono māʻolunga.

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.

Pea ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae koula haohaoa, ke ke ʻaofi ia ʻi loto mo tuʻa, pea ke ngaohi ʻi ai ʻae tatā koula ke takatakai.

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.

Pea te ke ngaohi hono kavei koula ʻe fā, ʻo ʻai ia ki hono tuliki ʻe fā; ʻe ai ʻae kavei ʻe ua ʻi hono faʻahi ʻe taha, mo e kavei ʻe ua ʻi hono faʻahi ʻe taha.

13 And thou shalt make staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

Pea ke ngaohi ʻae ongo haʻamo mei he ʻakau ko e sitimi, ʻo ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula.

14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.

Pea ke velo ʻae haʻamo ki he kavei ʻi he potu ʻe ua ʻoe puha, koeʻuhi ke haʻamo ʻaki ʻae puha.

15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.

‌ʻE tuku maʻuaipē ʻae ongo haʻamo ʻi he kavei ʻoe puha: ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻo ʻave ia mei ai.

16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

Pea te ke ai ki he loto puha ʻae tohi ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia te u ʻatu kiate koe.

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.

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻaki ʻae koula haohaoa: ko e hanga ʻe nima ʻa hono lōloa ʻo ia, mo e hanga ʻe tolu ʻa hono māukupu.

18 And thou shalt make two cherubims [of] gold, [of] beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae selupimi koula ʻe ua, ke ke ngaohi ia ʻaki ʻae koula tuki, ʻi hono tā ʻe ua ʻoe nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa.

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.

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae selupi ʻe taha[ke tuʻu ]ʻi he tā ʻe taha, mo e selupi ʻe taha [ke tuʻu ]ʻi he tā ʻe taha; ʻe ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻae ongo selupimi ʻi hono tā ʻe ua ʻo ia.

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.

Pea ʻe mafola atu hona kapakau ʻi ʻolunga ʻe he ongo selupimi, ke maluʻi ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻaki hona kapakau, pea ʻe fehangaʻaki hona mata, ʻo na femamataʻaki; pea ʻe hanga ki he nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻae mata ʻoe ongo selupimi.

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.

Pea te ke hilifaki ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ki ʻolunga ki he funga puha; pea te ke ʻai ki loto ʻi he puha ʻae tohi ʻoe fuakava ʻaia te u ʻatu kiate koe.

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.

Pea te u fakafetaulaki ʻi ai kiate koe, pea te tā lea ai mo koe mei ʻolunga ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa, mei he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo selupimi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia te u fekau atu ai kiate koe, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

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.

“Pea te ke ngaohi foki ʻae palepale mei he ʻakau ko e sitimi: ko e hanga ʻe fā ʻa hono lōloa, mo e hanga ʻe ua ʻa hono māukupu ʻo ia, mo e hanga ʻe tolu ʻa hono māʻolunga.

24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.

Pea te ke ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula haohaoa, mo ke ngaohi ʻi ai ʻae tatā koula ke takatakai.

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.

Pea te ke ngaohi ki ai hono tapa takatakai ko e ʻaofinima ʻe taha hono lau lahi; pea ke ngaohi ha tatā takatakai.

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.

Pea te ke ngaohi hono kavei koula ʻe fā, pea ʻai ʻae kavei ki hono tuliki ʻe fā, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono vaʻe ʻe fā.

27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.

‌ʻE tuʻu hanga tonu atu ʻae ngaahi kavei mo hono tapa ke velo ai ʻae ʻakau ke haʻamo ʻaki ʻae palepale.

28 And thou shalt make the staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae haʻamo ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e sitimi, ʻo ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae koula, ke haʻamo ʻaki ʻae palepale.

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.

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻa hono ngaahi ipu, mo hono ngaahi meʻa ohu, mo hono ngaahi tāpuni, mo hono ngaahi ipu luoluo, ke lingi ki ai: ke ke ngaohi ia kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae koula haohaoa.

30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.

Pea te ke hili maʻuaipē ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao ki he palepale ʻi hoku ʻao.

31 And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold: [of] beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga maama koula haohaoa: ʻe ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga maama ʻaki ʻae ngāue tuki: ko hono kau, mo hono ngaahi pasanga mo hono ngaahi ipu siʻi, mo hono ngaahi teunga potopoto, mo hono ngaahi fisiʻiʻakau, ʻe ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia.

32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:

Pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae pasanga ʻe ono mei hono potu ʻe ua: ko e pasanga ʻe tolu mei he potu ʻe taha ʻoe tuʻunga maama, mo e pasanga ʻe tolu mei he potu kehe ʻoe tuʻunga maama:

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 candlestick.

Ko e ipu ʻaiʻanga lolo ʻe tolu kuo ngaohi ʻo hangē ko e fuaʻi telie, ko e teunga potopoto mo hono fisiʻiʻakau ʻi he pasanga ʻe taha; mo e ipu ʻaiʻanga lolo ʻe tolu kuo ngaohi ʻo hangē ko e fuaʻi telie ʻi he pasanga ʻe taha, mo hono teunga potopoto mo hono fisiʻiʻakau: pea ʻe pehē pe ʻi he pasanga ʻe ono ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he tuʻunga maama.

34 And in the candlestick [shall be] four bowls made like unto almonds, [with] their knops and their flowers.

Pea ʻe ʻai ʻae ipu ʻaiʻanga lolo ʻe fā ʻi he tuʻunga maama kuo ngaohi ʻo hangē ko e fuaʻi telie mo honau ngaahi teunga potopoto mo hono ngaahi fisiʻiʻakau.

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 candlestick.

Pea ʻe ʻai ʻae teunga potopoto ʻe taha ʻi lalo ʻi he pasanga ʻe ua, mo e teunga potopoto ʻe taha ʻi lalo ʻi he pasanga ʻe ua, mo e teunga potopoto ʻe taha ʻi lalo ʻi he pasanga ʻe ua, ʻo fakatatau ki he pasanga ʻe ono ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he tuʻunga maama.

36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it [shall be] one beaten work [of] pure gold.

Ko honau ngaahi teunga potopoto mo e ngaahi pasanga, ʻe ngaohi ia kotoa pē ʻi he koula haohaoa kuo tuki.

37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.

Pea te ke ngaohi hono foʻi maama ʻe fitu ʻo ia: pea te nau tutu ʻae maama ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ke nau fakamaama ʻae potu ko ia.

38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, [shall be of] pure gold.

Pea ko hono helekosi, mo hono ʻaiʻanga efu; ʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae koula haohaoa.

39 [Of] a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

Te ne ngaohi ia mo e ngaahi ipu ni kotoa pē, ʻaki ʻae taleniti koula haohaoa pe taha.

40 And look that thou make [them] after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.

Pea vakai ʻe koe, ke ngaohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki hono fakatātā, ʻaia naʻe fakahā kiate koe ʻi he moʻunga.
