< 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 akafanya Sanduku la mbao za mshita. Mikono miwili na nusu urefu wake, na mkono mmoja na nusu upana wake, na mkono mmoja na nusu kimo chake.
2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made for it a crown of gold round about.
Kisha akalifunika kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje na kulifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu kulizunguka pande zote.
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.
Kisha akalitengenezea pete nne za dhahabu, za juu ya miguu yake minne, pete mbili upande wake mmoja na pete mbili upande wake mwingine
4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Kisha akafanya miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu.
5 And he put the staves into the rings upon the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
Halafu akaitia miti hiyo kwenye zile pete zilizo pande za Sanduku ili kulibeba Sanduku.
6 And he made a cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half was its length, and one cubit and a half its breadth.
Naye akafanya kifuniko cha dhahabu safi. Mikono miwili na nusu urefu wake, na mkono mmoja na nusu upana wake.
7 And he made two cherubim of gold, of beaten work made he them, on the two ends of the cover;
Bezaleli akafanya makerubi wawili wa dhahabu. Kwa kazi ya kufua akawafanya kwenye miisho yote miwili ya 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.
Kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho ule, na yule kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho huu. Aliwafanya makerubi juu ya kifuniko kwenye miisho yote 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.
Nao wakawa makerubi wanaonyoosha mabawa yao mawili kuelekea juu, wakisitiri kifuniko kwa mabawa yao, nazo nyuso zao zilikuwa zikielekeana. Nyuso za makerubi hao zilielekea kifuniko hicho.
10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;
Bezaleli akafanya meza ya mbao za mshita. Mikono miwili urefu wake, na mkono mmoja upana wake, na mkono mmoja na nusu kimo chake.
11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round about.
Halafu akaifunika kwa dhahabu safi na kufanya ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
12 And he made unto it a rim of a hand's breadth round about, and made a golden crown on its rim round about.
Kisha akafanya mzingo wa upana wa kiganja kuizunguka na kufanya ukingo wa dhahabu kwa ajili ya mzingo wake kuizunguka pande zote.
13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and he put the rings on the four corners, that were on the four feet thereof.
Tena, akatengeneza pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili yake na kuziweka pete hizo kwenye zile pembe nne zilizokuwa kwa ajili ya ile miguu minne.
14 Close under the rim were the rings, as receptacles for the staves to bear the table.
Pete hizo zilikuwa karibu na ule mzingo, ili kutegemeza ile miti ya kuibeba meza hiyo.
15 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
Halafu akafanya ile miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu ili kuibeba ile meza.
16 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, its dishes, and its spoons, and its purifying tubes, and the supporters wherewith [the bread] was covered, of pure gold.
Baada ya hilo akafanya kutokana na dhahabu safi vile vyombo vilivyo juu ya meza, sahani zake na vikombe vyake na mabakuli yake na mitungi yake iliyotumiwa kumimina matoleo ya kinywaji.
17 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick, its shaft, and its branches, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers, were out of one piece with it.
Kisha akafanya kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi. Kwa kazi ya kufua akakifanya kinara cha taa. Pande zake na matawi yake, vikombe vyake, mafundo yake na maua yake vikatokea kwake.
18 And six branches were coming out of its sides; three branches of the candlestick out of its one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof.
Na matawi sita yalikuwa yakitoka kwenye pande zake, matawi matatu ya kinara cha taa kutoka kwenye upande wake mmoja na matawi mengine matatu ya kinara cha taa kutoka kwenye ule upande wake mwingine.
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 vyenye umbo la maua ya mlozi vilikuwa kwenye kikundi kimoja cha matawi, vifundo na maua yakifuatana; na vikombe vitatu vyenye umbo la maua ya mlozi vilikuwa kwenye kile kikundi kingine cha matawi, vifundo na maua yakifuatana. Hivyo ndivyo ilivyokuwa kwa yale matawi sita yaliyokuwa yakitoka katika kile kinara cha taa.
20 And on the candlestick itself were four bowls, almond-shaped, with its knobs, and its flowers:
Na kwenye kile kinara cha taa kulikuwa na vikombe vinne vyenye umbo la maua ya mlozi, vifundo vyake na maua yake yakifuatana.
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.
Na kile kifundo chini ya matawi mawili kilitoka kwake, na kifundo kilicho chini ya yale matawi mengine mawili kilitoka kwake, na kifundo kingine kilicho chini ya matawi mengine mawili zaidi kilitoka kwake, kwa ajili ya matawi sita yanayotoka katika kinara.
22 Their knobs and their branches were out of one piece with it; all of it was one piece of beaten work, of pure gold.
Vifundo vyake na matawi yake vilitoka kwake, vyote vilikuwa kitu kimoja cha kazi ya kufua, cha dhahabu safi.
23 And he made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold.
Kisha akafanya taa zake saba na mikasi ya tambi zake na vyetezo vyake kutokana na dhahabu safi.
24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all its vessels.
Alikifanya kwa talanta ya dhahabu safi, hicho pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote.
25 And he made the altar of incense of shittim wood: its length was a cubit, and its breadth a cubit; it was foursquare, and two cubits was its height; from itself were its horns.
Sasa akafanya madhabahu ya uvumba kutokana na mbao za mshita. Mkono mmoja urefu wake na mkono mmoja upana wake, ikiwa mraba, na mikono miwili kimo chake. Pembe zake zilitoka kwake.
26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns: and he made unto it a crown of gold round about.
Kisha akaifunika kwa dhahabu safi, upande wake wa juu na pande zake za kando kuizunguka na pembe zake, naye akafanya ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
27 And two rings of gold he made for it beneath its crown, on its two corners, upon both its sides, as receptacles for the staves to bear it by means of them.
Naye akaifanyia pete mbili za dhahabu chini ya ukingo wake kwenye pande zake mbili, kwenye pande zake mbili zinazoelekeana, za kutegemeza ile miti ya kuibeba.
28 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Kisha akafanya ile miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu.
29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
Tena akafanya yale mafuta yanayotumiwa kutia mafuta na ule uvumba safi uliotiwa manukato, kazi ya mtengenezaji wa marhamu.
