< Exodus 37 >
1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was four feet four inches, and its breadth two feet seven inches, and two feet seven inches 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 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold for it around it.
Akalifunika kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulizungushia ukingo wa dhahabu.
3 He cast four rings of gold for it, in its four feet; even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.
Akasubu pete nne za dhahabu na kuzifungia kwenye miguu yake minne, pete mbili kwa upande mmoja na pete mbili kwa upande mwingine.
4 He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Kisha akatengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu.
5 He put the poles 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. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.
Akatengeneza kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho mmoja, na kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho mwingine; akawatengeneza kuwa kitu kimoja na hicho kifuniko katika miisho hiyo miwili.
9 The cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
Makerubi hao walikuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, wakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao walielekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.

21 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.
Tovu moja lilikuwa chini ya jozi ya kwanza ya matawi yaliyotokeza kwenye kinara cha taa, tovu la pili chini ya jozi ya pili, nalo tovu la tatu chini ya jozi ya tatu, yaani, matawi sita kwa jumla.
