Exodus 26
1 “[Tell the people to] make the Sacred Tent using ten long strips of fine linen. They must take blue, purple, and red thread (OR, weave the strips from blue, purple, and red thread), and [a skilled craftsman] must embroider these strips with [designs that represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
“Thondeka hema nyamũre ĩrĩ na itambaya ikũmi cia gũcuurio itumĩtwo na gatani yogothetwo wega ya ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, na igemio na makerubi nĩ mũtumi mũũgĩ na wĩra ũcio.
2 Each strip is to be (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
Itambaya icio cia gũcuurio ciothe ikorwo ciiganaine, mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩnana kũraiha na mĩkono ĩna kwarama.
3 [Tell them to] sew five strips together to make one set, and sew the other five strips together to make another set.
Itambaya ithano-rĩ, itumanio hamwe, na icio ingĩ ithano itumanio hamwe.
4 For each set, [they must] make loops of blue [cloth] and fasten them along the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
Kundĩka ciana cia gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu mũthia-inĩ wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mũico wa mwena ũmwe, na wĩke o ro ũguo harĩ gĩtambaya kĩa mũico kĩa mwena ũcio ũngĩ.
5 [They must] put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
Kundĩka ciana mĩrongo ĩtano gĩtambaya-inĩ kĩmwe gĩa gũcuurio, na ingĩ mĩrongo ĩtano gĩtambaya-inĩ kĩa mũico kĩa mwena ũcio ũngĩ, na ũringithanie o kĩana na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
6 [Tell them to] make 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. As a result, the inside of the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
Ningĩ ũthondeke ngathĩka mĩrongo ĩtano cia thahabu, na ũcihũthĩre na kuohithania itambaya icio cia gũcuurio nĩguo hema ĩyo nyamũre ĩtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmwe.
7 Also, [tell them to] make a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
“Tuma itambaya ikũmi na kĩmwe cia guoya wa mbũri ituĩke hema ya kũhumbĩra hema ĩrĩa nyamũre.
8 Each piece of cloth is to be (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
Itambaya icio ciothe ikũmi na kĩmwe ikorwo ciiganaine, ikorwo irĩ mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtatũ kũraiha na mĩkono ĩna kwarama.
9 [Tell them to] sew five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and sew the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set. [They] must fold the sixth piece [of cloth] in half to make it double over the front of the Sacred Tent.
Tumania itambaya ithano cia icio cia gũcuurio ituĩke kĩndũ kĩmwe, nacio icio ingĩ ithathatũ itumanio hamwe. Kũnja gĩtambaya gĩa gatandatũ maita meerĩ mwena wa mbere wa hema.
10 [Tell them to] make 100 loops [of blue cloth], and to fasten 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and fasten 50 to the outer edge of the other set.
Kundĩka ciana mĩrongo ĩtano mũthia-inĩ wa itambaya cia gũcuurio cia mwena ũmwe, ningĩ wĩke o ũguo mũthia-inĩ wa itambaya icio cia mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ.
11 [Tell them to] make fifty bronze clasps/fasteners and put them in the cloth loops to join the two sets together. As a result, the cover for the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
Ningĩ ũthondeke ngathĩka mĩrongo ĩtano cia gĩcango, na ũcitoonyie ciana-inĩ nĩgeetha hema ĩyo ĩtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmwe.
12 [Let] the extra part of the cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth], hang over the back of the Sacred Tent.
Harĩ ũraihu wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio ũrĩa ũngĩtigara, nuthu ya gĩtambaya kĩrĩa gĩtigaire nĩ gĩcunjuure mwena wa thuutha wa hema ĩyo nyamũre.
13 The extra half yard/meter of each cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth] on each side, must hang over the two sides of the Sacred Tent, to protect the sides.
Itambaya cia gũcuurio cia hema ikorwo iraihĩte kũrĩ icio ingĩ na mũkono ũmwe mĩena yeerĩ; kĩrĩa gĩgũtigara gĩcunjuure kĩhumbĩre mĩena ya hema ĩyo nyamũre.
14 [Tell them to] make two more covers for the Sacred Tent. One is to be made from rams’ skins that have been (tanned/dyed red), and the top cover is to be made from goatskin leather.”
Thondekera hema ĩyo kĩandarũa kĩa njũa cia ndũrũme itoboketio rangi-inĩ mũtune igatunĩha, na igũrũ wakĩo ũkĩhumbĩre na njũa cia pomboo.
15 “[Tell them to] make frames from acacia wood, frames that will be set up [from which to hang the Sacred Tent covers].
“Thondeka mbaũ cia kũrũgama cia mũtĩ wa mũgaa cia gwaka hema ĩyo nyamũre.
16 Each frame is to be (five yards/four meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
O rũbaũ-inĩ rũkorwo rũrĩ rwa mĩkono ikũmi kũraiha na mũkono ũmwe na nuthu kwarama,
17 [They] must make two projections at the bottom of each frame. These will be to fasten the frames to the bases underneath them. They must make these projections at the bottom of each frame.
mbaũ icio igĩe na tũhocio tũcomokete tũigananĩirie. Thondeka mbaũ icio ciothe cia Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre na njĩra ĩyo.
18 Make 20 frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.
Thondeka mbaũ mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia mwena wa gũthini wa hema ĩyo nyamũre,
19 [Tell them to] make 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases will go under each frame. The projections [at the bottom] of each frame are [to be made] to fit into the bases.
na ũthondeke itina cia betha mĩrongo ĩna cia gũikarĩrwo nĩ mbaũ icio mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, o rũbaũ rũmwe rũgaikarĩra itina igĩrĩ, o rũmwe rũkorwo rũrĩ rungu rwa kahocio.
20 [Similarly], [tell them to] make twenty frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.
Ningĩ mwena ũcio ũngĩ, mwena wa gathigathini wa hema ĩyo nyamũre, thondeka mbaũ mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ
21 [They] must make 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases to be put under each frame.
na itina mĩrongo ĩna cia betha o igĩrĩ igaikarĩrwo nĩ rũbaũ rũmwe.
22 For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, [tell them to] make six frames.
Thondeka mbaũ ithathatũ cia mwena wa na thuutha, nĩguo mwena wa mũthia wa ithũĩro wa hema ĩyo nyamũre,
23 Also, [tell them to] make two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].
na ũthondeke mbaũ igĩrĩ cia koine cia mwena wa na thuutha.
24 The two corner frames must be joined from the bottom to the top (OR, joined at both the bottom and the top). At the top of each of the two corner frames there must be a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
Koine-inĩ icio cierĩ no nginya ikorwo irĩ mbaũ igĩrĩ igĩrĩ kuuma thĩ nginya igũrũ, na ciohanio na mũrĩnga ũmwe; koine cierĩ igakorwo itariĩ ũguo.
25 In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there will be eight frames, and there will be 16 bases, two under each frame.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio hegũkorwo na mbaũ inyanya, na itina ikũmi na ithathatũ cia betha, o igĩrĩ igaikarĩrwo nĩ rũbaũ rũmwe.
26 [Tell them to] make 15 crossbars from acacia wood.
“Ningĩ ũthondeke mĩgamba ya mbaũ cia mũgaa: ĩtano yayo nĩ ũndũ wa mbaũ cia mwena ũmwe wa hema ĩyo nyamũre,
27 Five of them will be for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five will be for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.
na ĩtano nĩ ũndũ wa mbaũ cia mwena ũcio ũngĩ, na ĩtano nĩ ũndũ wa mbaũ cia mwena wa ithũĩro mũthia-inĩ ũrĩa wa na thuutha wa hema ĩyo nyamũre.
28 Tell them to fasten the crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent to the middle of the frames. The two long ones must extend from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side must extend from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other.
Mũgamba wa gatagatĩ uume mũthia ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ, ũgereire gatagatĩ ka mbaũ icio.
29 [Tell them to] cover the frames with gold, and make gold rings to fasten the crossbars to the frames. The crossbars must [also] be covered with gold.
Gemia mbaũ icio na thahabu, na ũthondeke mĩrĩnga ya thahabu ya kũnyiitĩrĩra mĩgamba ĩyo. O nayo mĩgamba ĩyo nĩĩgemio na thahabu.
30 Erect the Sacred Tent in the way that I have shown you [here] on [this] mountain.”
“Aka hema ĩyo nyamũre kũringana na mũhianĩre ũrĩa wonirio rĩrĩa warĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ.
31 “[Tell them to] make a curtain from fine linen. A skilled craftsman must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making [designs to represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
“Tuma gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩa ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, na cia gatani ĩrĩa yogothetwo wega na ĩkagemio na makerubi nĩ mũbundi mũũgĩ.
32 [Tell them to] suspend/hang the curtain from four posts made from acacia wood and covered with gold. Set [each] post in a silver base.
Cuuria gĩtambaya kĩu na tũcuurio twa thahabu ikĩngĩ-inĩ inya cia mũgaa iria igemetio na thahabu, na ikarũgama igũrũ rĩa njikarĩro inya cia betha.
33 [They] must suspend/hang the [top of the] curtain by hooks that are fastened to the roof of the Sacred Tent. Behind the curtain, in the [room called the] Very Holy Place, [they] must put the chest containing the [two stone slabs on which I have written my] commandments. That curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place.
Cuuria gĩtambaya kĩu gĩa gũcuurio na ngathĩka, na ũcooke ũige ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira thuutha wa gĩtambaya kĩu gĩa gũcuurio. Gĩtambaya kĩu gĩa gũcuurio kĩhakanie Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru na Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno.
34 On top of the chest in the Very Holy Place [they] must put the lid which will be the place where [blood will be sprinkled to] forgive people’s sins.
Igĩrĩra gĩtĩ gĩa tha igũrũ rĩa ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira thĩinĩ wa Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno.
35 [In the room that is] outside of the Very Holy Place, [they] must put the table [for the sacred] bread on the north side, and put the lampstand on the south side.
Iga metha nja ya gĩtambaya kĩu gĩa gũcuurio mwena wa gathigathini wa hema ĩyo nyamũre, naguo mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩra matawa ũũige mwena wa gũthini ũngʼethanĩre na metha ĩyo.
36 [Tell them to] make a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They must make it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
“Itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hema, thondeka gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩa rangi wa bururu, na rangi wa ndathi, na rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, na gatani ĩrĩa yogothetwo wega, kĩgemetio nĩ mũgemia mũũgĩ.
37 To hold up this curtain, [they] must make five posts from acacia wood. [They] must cover them with gold, and fasten gold clasps/fasteners to them. Also [they] must make a bronze base for each of these posts.”
Thondekera gĩtambaya kĩu gĩa gũcuurio tũcuurio twa thahabu na itugĩ ithano cia mũgaa igemetio na thahabu. Na ũcitwekerie itina ithano cia gĩcango.
