Exodus 30
1 “[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
Andrafito kitrely, toem-pañembohañe; mendoraveñe ty itsenea’o aze.
2 It is to be square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It is to be (3 feet/90 cm.) high. [Tell them to] make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood that the altar [is made from].
Ho kiho raike ty andava’e naho kiho raike ty ampohe’e, ho efa-mira, kiho roe ty haabo’e vaho raik’ ama’e o tsifa’eo.
3 [They must] cover the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. Put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
Ipakoro am-bolamena ki’e: ty ambone’e naho o ila’e mañarikatok’ azeo naho o tsifa’eo vaho itefeo soñi’e volamena hamahetse aze.
4 [They must] make two gold rings for carrying the altar. [They must] attach them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. These rings are for the poles for carrying the altar.
Anefeo ravake volamena roe ambane’ i soñi’ey, le añ’ila’e roe ty itsenea’o iareo ho fitanañe o bao-pitakonañeo.
5 [Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
Rafito ami’ty mendoraveñe o bao’eo le ipakoro volamena;
6 [They must] put this altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest and its lid. That is the place where I will talk with you.
le apoho aolo’ i lamba-fañefe’ i vatam-pañinay aolo’ i toem-pijebañañe fikape’ i fañinay, amy hifañaoñako ama’oiy.
7 Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
Hañoro emboke mañitse ama’e boa-maraindray t’i Aharone; ie mañalahala jiro ro hañemboke ama’e.
8 and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
Hañembok’ ama’e ka t’i Aharone amy fameloman-jiro harivay, le ho nainai’e añatrefa’ Iehovà amo hene tarira’ areo mifandimbeo i embokey.
9 The priests must not burn on the altar any incense that I have not told you to burn, or burn any animal on it, or any grain offering for me, or pour any wine on it as an offering.
Ko mañenga emboke ila’e ama’e, ndra enga horoañe, he mahakama, le ko añiliña’o engan-drano.
10 One time every year Aaron must perform the ritual for making this altar pure. He must do it by putting on its four projections some of the blood from the animal that was sacrificed (to remove the guilt of the people’s sins/so that the people would no longer be guilty for sins). This ritual is to be done by Aaron and his descendants throughout all future generations. This altar must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.”
Le hanao fijebańañe amo tsifa’eo boa-taoñe t’i Aharone ami’ty lion-tsoron-kakeo-pijebañañe, indraike boa-taoñe amo tarira’ areo mifandimbe iabio, t’ie ijebañañe. Miava-do’e amy Iehovà izay.
11 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Le nanao ty hoe amy Mosè t’Iehovà:
12 “When your [leaders] (take a census of/count) the Israeli people, each man [who is counted] must pay to me a price to save his life. They must do this in order that no disaster will happen to them while the people are being counted.
Ihe mamolily o ana-dahi’ Israeleo ami’ty ia’ iareo, le songa hanolotse ty vilin’ai’e amy Iehovà amy fañiahañey, tsy mone hisilofañ’ angorosy ty amy famoliliañey.
13 Every man who is counted must pay to me (0.2 ounces/5.7 grams) of silver. They must use the official standard when they weigh the silver.
Sindre hanolotse zao te iaheñe: ty vakin-tsekele amy sekelen-toe-mivakeiy (roapolo gerà ty sekele raike). Ho banabana am’ Iehovà i vakin-tsekeley.
14 All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
Ze hene niaheñe roapolo taoñe mañambone ro hañenga am’ Iehovà.
15 Rich men must not pay more than this amount, and poor men must not pay less than this amount, when they pay this money to save their lives.
Ie mañenga i vilin’ aiñey am’ Iehovà, le tsy hanolotse maro ty mpañaleale vaho tsy hanolotse ambane’ i vakin-tsekeley ty rarake.
16 Your leaders must collect this money from the Israeli people and give it to [those who will] take care of the Sacred Tent. This money is the payment for the lives of those who take care of the Sacred Tent, (to enable me not to forget them/and then I will remember to protect them).”
Ho rambese’o amo ana’ Israeleo i bogadim-bilin’ aiñey vaho havì’o ho fitoroñañe i kibohom-pamantañañey; le ho tiahy amo ana’ Israeleo añatrefa’ Iehovà, hijebañañe anahareo.
17 Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
Le nanao ty hoe amy Mosè t’Iehovà,
18 “[Tell the skilled workers to] make a bronze washbasin and a bronze base for it. [They must] put it between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
Anefeo fanasàñe torisìke reke-poto’e torisìke, ho fisasàñe, le apoho añivo’ i kibohom-pamantañañey naho i kitreliy izay vaho añiliño rano,
19 Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
le boak’ ama’e ty hanasà’ i Aharone miroanake fitàñe naho fandia.
20 before they enter the Sacred Tent and before they come to the altar to sacrifice offerings that will be burned on it. If [they do that], they will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
Ie mimoak’ amy kibohom-pamantañañey ndra mañarine i kitreliy hitoroñe, hañoro enga am’ Iehovà, ro hisasa an-drano hey tsy mone hikenkañe;
21 They must wash their hands and their feet, in order that they will not die. They and the males descended from them must obey this ritual throughout all generations.”
hanasa fitàñe naho fandia tsy mone hivetrake. Ho fañè tsy modo ho a iareo—ho aze naho o hene tarira’e mifandimbeo.
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
23 “[Tell the people to] collect some of the finest spices— (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (liquid myrrh/sweet-smelling sap named myrrh), (6 pounds/3 kg.) of sweet-smelling cinnamon, (6 pounds/3 kg.) of a sweet-smelling cane/reed,
Rambeso ty emboke soa jinoboñe: ty ron-drame limanjato naho ty kanely mañitse vaki’ izay: roan-jato tsy limampolo, le varemañitse roan-jato tsy limampolo,
24 and (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (cassia/a sweet-smelling bark named cassia). [Be sure] that they use the official standard when they weigh these things. Tell an expert perfumer to mix these with (one gallon/four liters) of olive oil
le ty roi-mañitse limanjato amy sekelen-toe-miavakey vaho menak’ olive hine raike.
25 to make sacred oil for anointing.
Le ano menake fañorizañe miavake i raha rey, raha mañitse aharo an-tsata’ o mpanao tsòtseo, ho mena-pañorizañe miavake.
26 Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
Ie ty hañoriza’o i kibohom-pamantañañey naho i vatam-pañinay,
27 the table and all the things that are used with it, the lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar for [burning] incense,
i rairaiy naho ze hene fanake naho i fitàn-jiroy naho o harao’eo vaho i kitrelim-pañoroañ’ embokey,
28 and the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned, along with its bases and the washbasin and all the things that are used with it.
ty kitrelim-pisoroñañe naho o harao’e iabio vaho i fanasàñey rekets’ i foto’ey.
29 Dedicate them by anointing them, in order that they will be completely holy/sacred. Anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
Atokano ho loho masiñ’ irezay; miavake ze mitsapa aze.
30 And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
Le horiza’o ty Aharone naho o ana’eo hamìha’o hitoroñe ahy ho mpisoroko.
31 And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
Le ty hoe ty hatao’o amo ana’ Israeleo: Itoy ty mena-pañorizañe miavake amako amo hene tarira’ areo mifandimbeo.
32 You must not pour it on the bodies of people who are not priests, and you must not make other oil to be like it by mixing the same amount of those things. This oil is sacred, and you must consider it to be sacred.’
Tsy ailiñe an-tsandri’ ondaty, le tsy tsikombeñe ty fampitraofañe aze, fa miavake, vaho havahe’ areo.
33 I will consider that anyone who makes ointment like this [for any other purpose], and anyone who puts any of this ointment on someone who is not a priest, no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
Ze mampilaro manahak’ aze, ndra mañiliñ’ aze am’ondaty ila’e, ro haitoañe am’ondatio.
34 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè: Rambeso o emboke mañitse zao: sike-mañitse naho sabiba naho taven-tsike; naho tsotse-foty ki’e, i raha mañitse rezay; le ampimirao lanja.
35 and tell an expert perfumer to mix them together to make some perfume. Add some salt to keep it pure and make it holy.
Le mitsenea emboke, am-pilaroañe, satam-panao emboke, siraeñe, malio naho miavake.
36 Beat some of it into a fine powder. Then take some of it into the Sacred Tent and sprinkle it in front of the sacred chest. You must all consider this incense to be very holy.
Lisano ho bo’e ty ila’e, le ano aolo’ i fañinay an-kibohom-pamantañañ’ ao ty ila’e, amy hifañaoñako ama’oy, loho miavake ama’ areo izay.
37 The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
Le i emboke tsenè’oy, tsy hanoe’ areo ho am-batañe amy filaroa’ey, fa miavake am’ Iehovà ho anahareo izay.
38 I will consider that anyone who makes incense like this to use it for perfume will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
Haitoañe am’ondati’eo ze mitsene ty hambañ’ ama’e hañantsoña’e.
