< Exodus 37 >

1 And Bezalel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
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 for it a crown of gold round about.
Akalifunika kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulizungushia ukingo wa dhahabu.
3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, for the four corners 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 shittim 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 upon the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

7 And he made two cherubim of gold, of beaten work made he them, on the two ends of the cover;
Kisha akatengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.
8 One cherub was on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end; out of the cover itself made he the cherubim on 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 were spreading forth their wings on high, overshadowing with their wings the cover, with their faces one to the other; toward the cover were the faces of the cherubim directed.
Makerubi hao walikuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, wakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao walielekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.

19 Three bowls, almond-shaped, were on one branch, with a knob and a flower; and three bowls, almond-shaped, were on the other branch, with a knob and a flower; so on the six branches that were coming out of the candlestick.
Vikombe vitatu vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yenye matovu na maua vilikuwa katika tawi moja, vikombe vitatu katika tawi jingine, na vivyo hivyo kwa matawi yote sita yaliyotokeza kwenye kile kinara cha taa.
20 And on the candlestick itself were four bowls, almond-shaped, with its knobs, and its flowers:
Juu ya kinara chenyewe kulikuwepo na vikombe vinne vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yakiwa na matovu yake na maua yake.
21 And a knob was under two branches that came out of the same, and a knob under two branches that came out of the same, and a knob under two branches that came out of the same, for the six branches that proceeded out of it.
