Exodus 38
1 [Several men helped] Bezalel to make the altar for burning sacrifices. They made it from acacia wood. It was square, (7-1/2 feet/2.2 meters) on each side, and it was (4-1/2 feet/1.3 meters) high.
Anapanga guwa lansembe zopsereza lamatabwa amtengo wa mkesha. Linali lofanana mbali zonse. Msinkhu wake masentimita 137, mulitali mwake masentimita 229, mulifupi masentimita 229.
2 They made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar [was made of]. They covered the whole altar with bronze.
Anapanga nyanga imodziimodzi pa ngodya zake zinayizo, kotero kuti nyangazo ndi guwalo zinali chinthu chimodzi, ndipo anakuta guwalo ndi mkuwa.
3 They made the pans in which to put the greasy ashes [from the animal sacrifices]. They also made the shovels for cleaning out the ashes. They made the basins and forks for turning the meat as it cooked, and buckets for carrying hot coals/ashes. All of those things were made from bronze.
Anapanganso ziwiya zamkuwa izi zogwirira ntchito pa guwalo: miphika, mafosholo, mabeseni owazira magazi, ngowe zokowera nyama ndi zosonkhezera moto.
4 They also made a bronze grating to hold the wood and burning coals. They put the grating under the rim that went around the altar. [They] made it so that it was [inside the altar], halfway down.
Anapanga sefa yachitsulo chamkuwa ya guwa lansembelo kuti ikhale mmunsi mwa khoma la guwa lansembelo, kuchokera pansi mpaka pakati pa khoma la guwalo.
5 They made bronze rings in which to put the poles [for carrying the altar], and fastened one of them to each of the corners of the altar.
Anapanga mphete zamkuwa zinayi ndipo anazilumikiza ku ngodya zinayi za sefa ija kuti zigwire nsichi zonyamulira.
6 They made the poles from acacia wood and covered them with bronze.
Anapanga nsichi zamtengo wa mkesha ndipo anazikuta ndi mkuwa.
7 They put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar. The poles were for carrying the altar.
Iwo analowetsa nsichizo mʼmphetemo mbali zonse ziwiri za guwalo kuti azinyamulira. Guwalo linali lamatabwa ndi logoba mʼkati mwake.
8 The altar was [hollow] like an empty box. It was made from boards [of acacia wood]. They made/cast the washbasin and its base from bronze. The bronze was from the mirrors that belonged to the women who worked at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Anapanga beseni lamkuwa lokhala ndi miyendo yamkuwanso kuchokera ku magalasi oyangʼanira nkhope a amayi amene ankatumikira pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano.
9 [Around the Sacred Tent] Bezalel and his helpers made a courtyard. To form the courtyard, they made curtains of fine white linen. On the south side, the curtain was (150 feet/46 meters) long.
Kenaka anapanga bwalo la chihema. Mbali yakummwera inali yotalika mamita 46 ndipo kunali nsalu yotchinga yofewa yosalala yolukidwa bwino.
10 [To hang the curtain], they made 20 bronze posts and 20 bronze bases, [one for under each post]. [To fasten the curtains to] the posts, they made silver hooks, and [they made metal] rods [covered with] silver.
Anapanganso mizati makumi awiri, matsinde makumi awiri amkuwa ndi ngowe zasiliva ndi zingwe za mizatiyo.
11 They made the same kind of curtains, posts, bases, and hooks for the north side of the courtyard.
Mbali yakumpoto inalinso yotalika mamita 46 ndipo inali ndi mizati makumi awiri, matsinde amkuwa makumi awiri, ngowe zasiliva ndi zingwe za mizatiyo.
12 On the west side [of the courtyard], they made a curtain (75 feet/23 meters) long. They also made ten posts on which to hang the curtains, and ten bases, with silver hooks and [metal] rods [covered with] silver.
Mbali yakumadzulo inali yotalika mamita 23 ndipo inali ndi nsalu yotchinga, mizati khumi ndi matsinde khumi. Inalinso ndi ngowe zasiliva ndi zingwe za mizatiyo.
13 On the east side, [where the entrance is], the courtyard was (75 feet/23 meters) wide.
Mbali yakummawa, kotulukira dzuwa, inalinso yotalika mamita 23.
14 On each side of the entrance, they made a curtain (22-1/2 feet/6.6 meters) wide. On each side they [were hung from] three posts, and one base was under each post.
Mbali imodzi yachipata kunali nsalu yotchinga yotalika mamita asanu ndi awiri, mizati itatu ndi matsinde atatu,
polowera mʼbwalo panali nsalu yotchinga ya mamita asanu ndi awiri pamodzi ndi mizati itatu ndi matsinde atatu.
16 All the curtains around the courtyard were made from fine white linen.
Katani yonse yotchinga kuzungulira chihema inali yofewa, yosalala ndi yolukidwa bwino.
17 All the posts around the courtyard were made of bronze, but the tops were covered with silver. The posts were connected with [metal] rods [covered with] silver. The clasps/fasteners and hooks were made of silver.
Matsinde amizati anali amkuwa. Ngowe ndi zingwe za mizati zinali zasiliva, ndipo pamwamba pa mizatiyo anakutapo siliva. Choncho mizati yonse ya bwalolo inalumikizidwa ndi zingwe zasiliva.
18 For the entrance of the courtyard, they made a curtain from fine white linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. The curtain was (30 feet/9 meters) long and (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high, just like the other curtains around the courtyard.
Nsalu yotchinga ya pa chipata inali yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo ndi yofiira, yofewa yosalala ndi yopangidwa ndi anthu aluso. Nsaluyo inali yotalika mamita asanu ndi anayi, molingana ndi nsalu zotchinga bwalo. Msinkhu wake unali masentimita 229,
19 All the curtains were made of fine white linen. They were supported by four posts, and [under each post] was a base made of bronze. All the posts around the courtyard were connected with [metal] rods [covered with] silver. The clasps/fasteners were made of silver, and the tops of the posts were covered with silver.
pamodzi ndi mizati yake inayi ndi matsinde amkuwa anayi. Ngowe ndi zingwe zake zinali za siliva, ndipo pamwamba pake pa mzati anakutapo ndi siliva.
20 All the tent pegs to support the Sacred Tent and the curtains around the courtyard were made of bronze.
Zikhomo za chihema ndi zina zonse zozungulira chihemacho zinali zamkuwa.
21 Here is a list of the amounts of metal used to make the Sacred Tent. Moses/I told [some men from] the tribe of Levi to [count all the materials used and] write down the amounts. Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest, supervised those men.
Chiwerengero cha zipangizo zimene anagwiritsa ntchito popanga chihema, chihema chaumboni, zimene Mose analamulira Alevi kuti alembe motsogozedwa ndi Itamara mwana wa Aaroni, wansembe, chinali ichi:
22 Bezalel the son of Uri and grandson of Hur made all the things that Yahweh commanded Moses/me to be made.
Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huzi wa fuko la Yuda anapanga chilichonse Yehova analamulira Mose,
23 Bezalel’s helper was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. Oholiab was a skilled engraver who made artistic things. He made fine white linen, and he embroidered designs using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. He also made other cloth.
pamodzi ndi Oholiabu mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa fuko la Dani, wa luso la zopangapanga ndi kulemba mapulani, ndi wopanga nsalu zolukidwa bwino za mtundu wa mtambo, yapepo ndi zofiira, zofewa ndi zosalala.
24 All the gold that was used to make the Sacred Tent weighed (2,195 pounds/1,000 kg.). They used the official standard when they weighed the gold.
Golide yense wochokera ku nsembe yoweyula amene anagwiritsa ntchito pa ntchito yonse yopanga malo wopatulika anali wolemera makilogalamu 1,000 potsata miyeso ya kumalo wopatulika.
25 All the silver that the people contributed when the leaders (took the census/counted the men) weighed (7,500 pounds/3,400 kg.). They also used the official standard when they weighed the silver.
Siliva wochokera ku gulu lonse la anthu anali wolemerera makilogalamu 3,430, potsata miyeso ya ku malo wopatulika.
26 All the men who were at least 20 years old were counted, and they each paid the required amount. That was a total of 603,550 men.
Munthu aliyense amapereka beka imodzi, kufanana ngati makilogalamu 6, potsata muyeso wa ku malo wopatulika. Kuchokera kwa aliyense amene anawerengedwa kuyambira zaka 20 kapena kuposerapo, amuna onse analipo 603,550.
27 They used (75 pounds/34 kg.) of silver for making/casting each of the 100 bases to [put under the posts to support] the curtains of the Sacred Tent.
Anagwiritsa ntchito siliva wolemera makilogalamu 3,400 kupanga matsinde 100 a ku malo wopatulika ndi makatani, ndipo makilogalamu 34 kupanga tsinde limodzi.
28 Bezalel [and his helpers] used the (50 pounds/30 kg.) of silver that was not used for the bases to make the rods and the hooks for the posts, and to cover the tops of the posts.
Makilogalamu otsalawo anagwiritsa ntchito popanga ngowe zamzati kukutira pamwamba pa mizati ndiponso kupanga zingwe zake.
29 The bronze that the people contributed weighed (5,310 pounds/2,425 kg.).
Mkuwa ochokera ku nsembe yoweyula unali makilogalamu 2,425.
30 With the bronze, Bezalel and his helpers made the bases for under the posts at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They also made the altar for burning sacrifices, the grating for it and the tools used with it,
Iwo anawugwiritsa ntchito popanga matsinde a pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano, guwa la mkuwa pamodzi ndi sefa yake ndiponso ziwiya zonse,
31 the bases for the posts [that supported the curtains] that surrounded the courtyard and the bases for the entrance to the courtyard, and the pegs for the Sacred Tent and for [the curtains around] the courtyard.
matsinde ozungulira bwalo ndiponso a pa chipata pake, ndi zikhomo zonse za tentiyo ndi matsinde a malo wozungulirapo.
