Exodus 30
1 “[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
“Iddoo aarsaa kan ixaanni irratti aarfamu muka laaftoo irraa tolchi.
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].
Iddoon aarsaa kunis dalga dheerina dhundhuma tokko, balʼina dhundhuma tokkootii fi ol dheerina dhundhuma lamaa qabaatee gama afraniinuu wal qixxee haa taʼu; gaanfawwan isaas iddoo aarsaa sanaan walitti waanuma tokko irraa haa tolfaman.
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].
Gubbaa isaa irra, cinaacha isaa hundumaa fi gaanfawwan isaatti warqee qulqulluu uffisiitii naannoo isaatti marsaa warqee naannessii tolchi.
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.
Iddoo aarsaa sanaafis marsaawwan warqee isaatii gaditti qubeelaawwan warqee lama tolchi; qubeelaawwan kanas akka isaan danqaraawwan ittiin iddoo aarsaa baatan qabataniif gamaa gamanaan cinaacha lamaanitti tolchi.
5 [Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
Danqaraawwan muka laaftoo tolchiitii warqee itti uffisi.
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.
Iddoo aarsaa sanas fuula golgaa taabota kakuu seeraa bira jiru sanaa dura, fuula teessoo araaraa kan kakuu seeraatiin ol jiruu dura iddoo ani itti si argu sana dhaabi.
7 Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
“Aroon yommuu ganama ganama ibsaa qoqopheessutti iddoo aarsaa irratti ixaana urgaaʼaa haa aarsu.
8 and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
Akka ixaanni sun dhaloota dhufu keessatti illee yeroo hunda fuula Waaqayyoo duratti aaruuf Aroon yommuu galgala galgala ibsaa qabsiisutti ixaana haa aarsu.
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.
Iddoo aarsaa kana irratti ixaana gosa biraa yookaan qalma gubamu yookaan kennaa midhaanii hin dhiʼeessin; dhibaayyuus irratti hin dhibaafatin.
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.”
Aroonis waggaatti yeroo tokko gaanfawwan iddoo aarsaa irratti aarsaa araara buusu haa dhiʼeessu; aarsaan waggaatti dhiʼeeffamu kun dhiiga aarsaa cubbuu kan araarri ittiin argamu wajjin dhaloota dhufu keessatti haa dhiʼeeffamu. Aarsaan kunis Waaqayyoof waan hundumaa caalaa qulqulluu dha.”
11 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Ergasiis Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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.
“Yommuu ati baayʼina saba Israaʼel lakkooftutti tokkoon tokkoon namaa yeroo lakkaaʼamutti furii lubbuu isaa Waaqayyoof haa kennu. Yoos yeroo ati isaan lakkooftutti dhaʼichi tokko iyyuu isaan hin argatu.
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.
Namni warra lakkaaʼamanitti dabalamu kam iyyuu akkuma saqilii iddoo qulqulluu kan geeraa digdamaa ulfaatu sanaatti walakkaa saqilii haa kennu. Walakkaan saqilii kunis kennaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamuu dha.
14 All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
Warra lakkaaʼaman keessaa kanneen umuriin isaanii waggaa digdama yookaan isaa oli taʼe hundinuu Waaqayyoof kennaa haa dhiʼeessan.
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.
Yommuu isin lubbuu keessan furuuf jettanii Waaqayyoof kennaa dhiʼeessitanitti sooreyyiin walakkaa saqiliitii oli hin kennin; hiyyeeyyiinis walakkaa saqiliitii gad hin kennin.
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).”
Maallaqa furii sanas Israaʼeloota harkaa fudhiitii tajaajila dunkaana wal gaʼii sanaa irra oolchi; kunis lubbuu keessaniif furii taʼuuf fuula Waaqayyoo duratti yaadannoo saba Israaʼel taʼa.”
17 Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
Ergasiis Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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.
“Gabatee naasii kan miilla naasii qabu dhiqannaadhaaf tolchi. Isas dunkaana wal gaʼiitii fi iddoo aarsaa gidduu kaaʼiitii bishaan itti naqi.
19 Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa bishaani sanaan harka isaaniitii fi miilla isaanii haa dhiqatan.
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].
Isaanis akka hin duuneef yeroo dunkaana wal gaʼii seenan bishaaniin dhiqatu; akkasumas yommuu aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu gubuudhaaf tajaajiluuf iddoo aarsaatti dhiʼaatanitti,
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.”
akka hin duuneef harka isaaniitii fi miilla isaanii haa dhiqatan. Kunis dhaloota dhufu keessatti Aroonii fi sanyii isaatiif seera dhaabataa taʼa.”
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Ergasiis Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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,
“Urgooftuuwwan urgooftuu hunda caalan jechuunis qumbii qulqulluu saqilii 500, qarafaa urgaaʼaa walakkaa isaa jechuunis saqilii 250, marga citaa urgaaʼaa saqilii 250,
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
burgudii saqilii 500 fudhadhu; hundi isaa iyyuu akkuma saqilii iddoo qulqulluutti haa taʼu; akkasumas zayitii ejersaa iinii tokko fudhadhu.
25 to make sacred oil for anointing.
Urgooftuuwwan kanneeniinis zayitii ittiin diban qulqulluu isaa jechuunis makaa urgaaʼaa akkuma ogeessa urgooftuu qopheessu tokkootti tolchi. Kunis zayitii ittiin diban qulqulluu isaa taʼa.
26 Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
Zayitii kanaanis dunkaana wal gaʼii, taabota kakuu seeraa,
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,
minjaalaa fi miʼa isaa hunda, baattuu ibsaa fi miʼa isaa, iddoo aarsaa ixaanaa,
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.
iddoo aarsaa qalma gubamuutii fi miʼa isaa hunda, gabatee itti dhiqatanii fi miilla isaa dibi.
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.
Akka isaan waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼaniif isaan qulqulleessi; wanni isaan tuqu kam iyyuus ni qulqullaaʼa.
30 And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
“Akka isaan luboota taʼanii na tajaajilaniif Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa dibi qulqulleessi.
31 And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi; ‘Kun zayitiin qulqulluu ittiin dhaloota dhufuuf jiru diban naaf haa taʼu.
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.’
Zayitii kana dhagna nama biraa irratti hin dhangalaasin yookaan zayitii kam iyyuu karaa kanaan hin qopheessin. Zayitiin kun qulqulluu dha; innis isiniif qulqulluu haa taʼu.
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.”
Namni shittoo shittoo sana fakkaatu hojjetu kan nama biraattis dibu saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu.’”
34 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Urgooftuu jechuunis hamphee urgaaʼu, elellaan urgaaʼu, aannan muka urgaaʼuu, ixaana makaa hin qabne kan hundi isaa iyyuu baayʼina wal qixxee qabu fudhadhuutii,
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.
akkuma namni urgooftuu qopheessu tokko hojjetutti ixaana makamaa urgaaʼu tolchi. Ixaana kanattis soogidda naqiitii qulqulleessi; akka qulqulluu taʼus godhi.
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.
Isa keessaas gartokko daakii bulleessiitii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa fuula taabota kakuu seeraa dura iddoo ani itti si argu sana kaaʼi. Innis kan waan hunda caalaa qulqullaaʼuu isiniif haa taʼu.
37 The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
Haala kanaan ixaana ofii keessaniif hin qopheeffatinaa; akka inni Waaqayyoof qulqulluu taʼes hubadhu.
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.”
Namni urgaa isaatti gammaduuf jedhee waan isa fakkaatu tokko illee hojjetu saba ofii keessaa haa balleeffamu.”
