2 “Tell the Israelites to take an offering for me from every person who is motivated by a willing heart. You must receive these offerings for me.
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be ame sia ame si alɔ̃ la, natsɔ nunana siawo dometɔ aɖewo vɛ nam.
3 These are the offerings that you must receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze;

8 Let them make me a sanctuary so that I may live among them.
elabena medi be Israelviwo natu nɔƒe kɔkɔe aɖe nam, afi si manɔ le wo dome.
9 You must make it exactly as I will show you in the plans for the tabernacle and for all its equipment.
“Nye nɔƒe sia anye agbadɔ. Mafia ale si nàtui kple nu siwo nàtsɔ aɖo atsyɔ̃ nɛ la wò.
10 They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be two and a half cubits; its width will be one cubit and a half; and its height will be one cubit and a half.
“Tsɔ akasiati nàkpa aɖaka wòadidi sentimita alafa ɖeka kple ewo, wòakeke sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade, eye wòakɔ sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade.
11 You must cover it inside and out with pure gold, and you must make on it a border of gold around its top.
Fa sika nyuitɔ ɖe eme kple egodo siaa, eye nàtsɔ sika nyuitɔ ke amli ɖe aɖaka la togawo kpe ɖo.
12 You must cast four rings of gold for it, and put them on the ark's four feet, with two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side.
Wɔ sikagagɔdɔ̃e ene siwo anɔ abe asigɛ ene, eye nàklã wo ɖe dzogoe ene siwo le ete la ŋu; sikagagɔ̃dɔ̃e eve nanɔ aɖaka la ƒe axa ɖe sia ɖe.
13 You must make poles of acacia wood and cover them with gold.
Tsɔ akasiati kpa kpo didiwo, eye nàfa sika nyuitɔ ɖe wo ŋu.

Tsɔ wo ƒo ɖe asigɛ eve siwo le aɖaka la ƒe axa ɖeka dzi la me hena aɖaka la tsɔtsɔ.
15 The poles must remain in the rings of the ark; they must not be taken from it.
Womaɖe ati siawo le sikasigɛawo me o, ke boŋ woanɔ wo me ɖaa.
16 You must put into the ark the covenant decrees that I will give you.
Ekema nàtsɔ nubabla si matsɔ na wò la ade aɖaka la me.
17 You must make an atonement lid of pure gold. Its length must be two and a half cubits, and its width must be a cubit and a half.

Wɔ kerubi ɖeka kple amenuvevezikpui la, eye ɖeka anɔ nutunu la ƒe didime ƒe nu ɖeka.
20 The cherubim must spread out their wings upward and overshadow the atonement lid with them. The cherubim must face one another and look toward the center of the atonement lid.

21 You must put the atonement lid on top of the ark, and you must put into the ark the covenant decrees that I am giving you.
Tsɔ nutunu la tu aɖaka la nu, eye nàtsɔ kpe siwo dzi woŋlɔ seawo ɖo siwo matsɔ na wò la de aɖaka la me.
22 It is at the ark that I will meet with you. I will speak with you from my position above the atonement lid. It will be from between the two cherubim over the ark of the testimony that I will speak to you about all the commands I will give you for the Israelites.
Mado go wò le afi ma, aƒo nu kpli wò le amenuvevezikpui la tame, le kerubi eve siwo le nubablaɖaka tame la dome, eye matsɔ nubablakpe siwo dzi meŋlɔ nye sededewo na Israelviwo ɖo la na wò.
23 You must make a table of acacia wood. Its length must be two cubits; its width must be one cubit, and its height must be a cubit and a half.
“Emegbe la, nàtsɔ akasiati akpa kplɔ̃ wòadidi sentimita blaenyi-vɔ-enyi, akeke sentimita blaene-vɔ-ene, eye wòakɔ sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade.
24 You must cover it with pure gold and put a border of gold around the top.

Tsɔ akasiati si keke milimita blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ la ɖo kplɔ̃ la to kpe ɖo, eye nàtsɔ sika afa ɖe akasiati la to.
26 You must make for it four rings of gold and attach the rings to the four corners, where the four feet were.
Wɔ sikasigɛ ene na kplɔ̃ la, eye nàklã wo ɖe kplɔ̃ la ƒe axa eneawo dzi, woate ɖe afɔti eneawo ŋu.
27 The rings must be attached to the frame to provide places for the poles, in order to carry the table.
Asigɛawo nate ɖe kplɔ̃ la ƒe to lɔƒo be woatsɔ atiwo ade asigɛawo me hena kplɔ̃ la kɔkɔ.
28 You must make the poles out of acacia wood and cover them with gold so that the table may be carried with them.
Tsɔ akasiati wɔ kplɔ̃kɔtiawo, eye nàfa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
29 You must make the dishes, spoons, pitchers, and bowls to be used to pour out drink offerings. You must make them of pure gold.

30 You must regularly set the bread of the presence on the table before me.
eye nàtsɔ Ŋkumeɖobolo tɔxɛ ada ɖe kplɔ̃ la dzi le nye ŋkume ɣe sia ɣi.
31 You must make a lampstand of pure hammered gold. The lampstand is to be made with its base and shaft. Its cups, its leafy bases, and its flowers are to be all made of one piece with it.
“Tsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ akaɖiti lae. Na akaɖiti blibo la nanye nu ɖeka; ele be woatu akaɖiti la ƒe afɔwo, eƒe titinati diditɔ, akaɖiawo kple seƒoƒoawo nanye nu blibo ɖeka.
32 Six branches must extend out from its sides—three branches must extend from one side, and three branches of the lampstand must extend from the other side.
“Alɔ ade nanɔ akaɖiti la ƒe axawo dzi, etɔ̃ nanɔ akaɖiti la ƒe axawo kple eve dzi.
33 The first branch must have three cups made like almond blossoms, with a leafy base and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, with a leafy base and a flower. It must be the same for all six branches extending out from the lampstand.
Kplu etɔ̃ siwo wowɔ abe yevuzi ƒe seƒoƒo siwo do, eye woke ene la nanɔ alɔdze ɖeka ŋu, etɔ̃ nanɔ alɔdze bubu ŋu. Nenema ke wòanɔ na alɔdze adeawo siwo katã le akaɖiti la kɔgo ŋu.
34 On the lampstand itself, the central shaft, there must be four cups made like almond blossoms, with their leafy bases and the flowers.
Kplu ene siwo wowɔ abe yevuzi ƒe seƒoƒo si do, eye wòke ene la nanɔ akaɖiti la dzi.
35 There must be a leafy base under the first pair of branches—made as one piece with it, and a leafy base under the second pair of branches—also made as one piece with it. In the same way there must be a leafy base under the third pair of branches, made as one piece with it. It must be the same for all six branches extending out from the lampstand.
Seƒoƒo ɖeka kple eƒe tamekuku nanɔ alɔdze eve ƒe kpeƒe; ɖeka nanɔ alɔdze eve siwo kplɔ gbãtɔ ɖo la ƒe kpeƒe, eye ɖeka hã nanɔ etɔ̃lia ƒe kpeƒe, ale be alɔdzeawo nanye ade.
36 Their leafy bases and branches must all be one piece with it, one beaten piece of work of pure gold.
Ele be woawɔ atsyɔ̃ɖonuawo kple alɔdzeawo kple titinati didi la siaa kple sika nyuitɔ woanye nu blibo ɖeka.
37 You must make the lampstand and its seven lamps, and set up its lamps for them to give light from it.
Le esia megbe la, wɔ akaɖi adre na akaɖiti la, eye nàna woaklẽ ɖe ŋgɔ.
38 The tongs and their trays must be made of pure gold.
Tsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ ɖovulãnuwo, eye nàtsɔ eya ke awɔ agba vi siwo me woada wo ɖo la.
39 Use one talent of pure gold to make the lampstand and its accessories.
Sika nyuitɔ si ŋu dɔ woawɔ na akaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo la ƒe kpekpeme nade kilogram blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃.
40 Be sure to make them after the pattern that you are being shown on the mountain.
“Kpɔ egbɔ be nu sia nu sɔ ɖe nu si mele fiawòm le toa dzi la dzi tututu.”
