Exodus 25
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
“Waambie Waisraeli waniletee sadaka. Utapokea sadaka kwa niaba yangu kutoka kwa kila mtu ambaye moyo wake wapenda kutoa.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
Hizi ndizo sadaka utakazozipokea kutoka kwao: dhahabu, fedha na shaba;
4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, za rangi nyekundu, pamoja na kitani safi; singa za mbuzi;
5 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,
ngozi za kondoo dume zilizopakwa rangi nyekundu, na ngozi za pomboo; mbao za mshita;
6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
mafuta ya zeituni kwa ajili ya taa; vikolezi kwa ajili ya mafuta ya upako, pamoja na uvumba wa harufu nzuri;
7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
na vito vya shohamu na vito vingine vya thamani vya kuweka kwenye kisibau na kile kifuko cha kifuani.
8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
“Kisha uwaamuru wanitengenezee mahali patakatifu, nami nitakaa miongoni mwao.
9 According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture, even so shall ye make it.
Tengeneza hema hili na vyombo vyake vyote sawasawa na kielelezo nitakachokuonyesha.
10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
“Nao watatengeneza Sanduku la mbao za mshita, lenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili na nusu, upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold around it.
Utalifunika hilo Sanduku kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu juu yake kulizunguka.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners; and two rings shall be in its one side, and two rings in its other side.
Utalisubu kwa pete nne za dhahabu na kuzifungia kwenye miguu yake minne, pete mbili kwa upande mmoja na pete mbili kwa upande mwingine.
13 And thou shalt make staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
Kisha utatengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu.
14 And thou shalt put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
Utaiingiza hiyo mipiko kwenye zile pete katika pande mbili za Sanduku ili kulibeba.
15 The staffs shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
Hiyo mipiko itabakia daima katika hizo pete za hilo Sanduku; haitaondolewa.
16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
Kisha weka ndani ya hilo Sanduku ule Ushuhuda nitakaokupa.
17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
“Tengeneza kifuniko cha upatanisho cha dhahabu safi, chenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu.
18 And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
Tengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.
19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubim on its two ends.
Tengeneza kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho mmoja, na kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho mwingine; watengeneze makerubi hao wawe kitu kimoja na hicho kifuniko katika miisho hiyo miwili.
20 And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
Makerubi hao watakuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, yakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao wataelekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.
21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
Weka huo Ushuhuda nitakaokupa ndani ya hilo Sanduku la Agano, na uweke hicho kifuniko juu ya hilo Sanduku.
22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment to the children of Israel.
Hapo juu ya hicho kifuniko, kati ya hao makerubi wawili walioko juu ya hilo Sanduku la Ushuhuda, hapo ndipo nitakapokutana nawe na kukupa maagizo yangu kwa ajili ya Waisraeli.
23 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: its length shall be two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its height a cubit and a half.
“Tengeneza meza ya mbao za mshita yenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili, upana wa dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.
24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make for it a crown of gold around it.
Ifunike kwa dhahabu safi, na kuitengenezea ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
25 And thou shalt make for it a border of an hand breadth around it, and thou shalt make a golden crown to its border around it.
Kisha tengeneza upapi wenye upana wa nyanda nne, na ufanyie ule upapi ukingo wa dhahabu kuuzunguka pande zote.
26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet.
Tengeneza pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili ya meza hiyo, na uzifungie kwenye pembe nne, pale penye miguu yake minne.
27 Close to the border shall the rings be for places of the staffs to bear the table.
Pete hizo zitakuwa karibu na ukingo ule ili kuishikilia ile mipiko itakayotumika kuibebea hiyo meza.
28 And thou shalt make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
Tengeneza mipiko hiyo kwa mbao za mshita, uifunike na dhahabu, uitumie kubeba hiyo meza.
29 And thou shalt make its dishes, and its spoons, and its covers, and its bowls, to cover it with: of pure gold shalt thou make them.
Tengeneza sahani zake na masinia yake kwa dhahabu safi, pamoja na bilauri na bakuli zake kwa ajili ya kumiminia sadaka.
30 And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before me always.
Utaweka mikate ya Wonyesho juu ya meza hii iwe mbele yangu daima.
31 And thou shalt make a lampstand of pure gold: of beaten work shall the lampstand be made: its shaft, and its branches, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers, shall be of the same.
“Tengeneza kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi iliyofuliwa vizuri katika kitako chake na ufito wake; vikombe vyake vinavyofanana na ua, matovu yake na maua yake viwe kitu kimoja.
32 And six branches shall extend from the sides of it; three branches of the lampstand from the one side, and three branches of the lampstand from the other side:
Matawi sita yatatokeza kuanzia ule ufito wa katikati wa kinara cha taa: matawi matatu upande mmoja na matatu upande mwingine.
33 Three bowls made like almonds, with a knob and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knob and a flower: so in the six branches that go out from the lampstand.
Vikombe vitatu vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yenye matovu na maua vitakuwa katika tawi moja, vikombe vitatu katika tawi jingine, na vivyo hivyo kwa matawi yote sita yanayotokeza kwenye kile kinara cha taa.
34 And in the lampstand shall be four bowls made like almonds, with their knobs and their flowers.
Juu ya kinara chenyewe vitakuwepo vikombe vinne vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yakiwa na matovu yake na maua yake.
35 And there shall be a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that go out from the lampstand.
Tovu moja litakuwa chini ya jozi ya kwanza ya matawi yaliyotokeza kwenye kinara cha taa, tovu la pili chini ya jozi ya pili, nalo tovu la tatu chini ya jozi ya tatu, yaani matawi sita kwa jumla.
36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of the same: all of it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
Matovu na matawi yote yatakuwa kitu kimoja na kile kinara cha taa, yakifuliwa kwa dhahabu safi.
37 And thou shalt make its seven lamps: and they shall light its lamps, that they may give light in front of it.
“Kisha tengeneza taa zake saba na uziweke juu ya kinara hicho ili ziangaze mbele yake.
38 And its tongs, and its snuffdishes, shall be of pure gold.
Mikasi ya kusawazishia tambi, pamoja na masinia, zote zitakuwa za dhahabu safi.
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
Utatumia talanta moja ya dhahabu safi kutengeneza hicho kinara na vifaa vyake vyote.
40 And see that thou make them after their pattern, which was shown thee on the mount.
Hakikisha kuwa umevitengeneza sawasawa na ule mfano ulioonyeshwa kule mlimani.
