1 “Tsɔ akasiati nàkpa vɔsamlekpui lae. Eƒe ta ƒe kekeme kple didime siaa nanye mita ɖeka kple desimita eve, eye wòakɔ mita ɖeka kple desimita etɔ̃.
“Tell them to make an altar from acacia wood. It is to be square, (7-1/2 feet/2.2 meters) on each side, and make it (4-1/2 feet/1.3 meters) high.
2 Wɔ lãdzowo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi, woalé sesĩe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu. Fa akɔbli ɖe nu sia nu ŋu.
[They] must 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 as the altar. [Tell them to] cover the whole altar with gold.
3 Tsɔ akɔbli wɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋunuwo, afilɔnuwo, sofiwo, gagbɛwo, gafluwo kple dzoɖesonuwo.
[They must] make pans in which to put the [greasy] ashes [from the animal sacrifices]. Also [they must] make shovels for cleaning out the ashes, basins and forks for turning the meat as it cooks, and buckets for carrying hot coals/ashes. All of these things must be made from bronze.
4 Tsɔ akɔbli wɔ lãyiga, eye nàwɔ akɔblisigɛ ɖe dzogoe eneawo ŋu.
Also [tell them to] make a bronze grating to hold the wood and burning coals. They must fasten to each of the corners of the altar a bronze ring for carrying the altar.
5 Klã lãyiga la ɖe mlekpui la titina, eye nàna wòanɔ teƒe si wodoa dzo ɖo la tame.
[They must] put the grating under the rim that is around the altar. [They must] make it so that it is [inside the altar], halfway down.
6 Tsɔ akasiati kpa kpo didiwo, eye nàfa akɔbli ɖe wo ŋu hena vɔsamlekpui la kɔkɔ.
For [carrying] the altar, [they must] make poles from acacia wood and cover them with bronze.
7 Na woatsɔ ati didiawo aƒo ɖe asigɛawo me le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe axawo dzi hena vɔsamlekpui la kɔkɔ.
[They must] put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar. The poles are for carrying the altar.
8 Tsɔ ʋuƒo wɔ vɔsamlekpui la, do nanɔ eme abe ale si meɖee fia wò le to la dzi ene pɛpɛpɛ.”
The altar will be like a box, made from boards [of acacia wood]. [They must] make it according to these instructions that I am giving you [here] on [this] mountain.”
9 “Tɔ kpɔ ɖe agbadɔ la ŋu. Agbadɔ la ƒe dziehe gome nadidi mita blaene-vɔ-ene. Tsɔ avɔ si wolɔ̃ kple ɖeti ɣi dada la tɔ kpɔ siae,
“Around the Sacred Tent there is to be a courtyard. To form the courtyard, [tell them to] make curtains of fine linen. On the south side, the curtain is to be (50 yards/44 meters) long.
10 eye nàtu kpɔti blaeve siwo ƒe afɔtiwo woatu kple akɔbliga, eye woatsɔ klosaloga atu gatagbadzɛ siwo woatsɔ avɔawo akui la ɖe kpɔtiawo ŋu.
[To support/hang the curtain], [tell them to] make twenty bronze posts, and one bronze base for each post. To fasten the curtains to the posts, [they must] make silver hooks, and [metal] rods [covered with] silver [to fasten the curtains to the hooks].
11 Woawɔ avɔ la nenema ke le anyiehe gome hã. Woaku avɔ mita blaene-vɔ-ene ɖe klosalogatagbadzɛawo ŋu, ɖe gakawo ŋu le kpɔtiawo ŋu.
[They must] make the same kind of curtains for the north side of the courtyard.
12 Ɣetoɖoƒe gome nadidi mita blaeve-vɔ-eve. Kpɔti ewo siwo te afɔti ewo le la nanɔ afi ma.
On the west side [of the courtyard] they must make a curtain (25 yards/22 meters) long. The curtains are to be supported by ten posts, with a base under [each] post.
13 Ɣedzeƒe gome afi si ɣe dzena tsona hã nadidi mita blaeve-vɔ-eve.
On the east side, [where the entrance is], the courtyard must also be (25 yards/22 meters) wide.
14 Avɔ si didi mita ade kple afã la nanɔ akpa ɖeka na mɔnu la. Woatsi avɔ la ɖe kpɔti etɔ̃ siwo te afɔti etɔ̃ le la ŋu.
[Tell them to] make a curtain (22-1/2 feet/6.6 meters) wide for each side of the entrance [to the courtyard].
15 Avɔ didime ma tɔgbi ke nanɔ agbadɔ la ƒe akpa evelia, eye woatsi eya hã ɖe kpɔti etɔ̃ siwo te afɔti etɔ̃ le la ŋu.
16 “Avɔ si keke mita asiekɛ la, nanɔ kpɔtɔtɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Avɔ la nanye esi avɔlɔ̃la la lɔ̃ kple ka blɔtɔ, dzĩtɔ kple hẽtɔ, eye woatsii ɖe kpɔti ene siwo te afɔti le ɖekaɖeka la ŋu.
They must make a curtain (30 feet/9 meters) long for the entrance. A skilled weaver must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. It must be (supported by/hung from) four posts, each one with a base under it.
17 Woatsɔ klosalogatagbadzɛwo aklã klosalogakawo ɖe kpɔti siwo katã wotsɔ tɔ kpɔ lae la ŋu be woalé kpɔtiawo ɖekae. Akɔblifɔ sesẽwo nanɔ kpɔtiawo te ɖekaɖekae.
All the posts around the courtyard must be connected with metal rods covered with silver. The clasps/fasteners must be made of silver, and the bases must be made of bronze.
18 Ale kpɔtɔtɔ la nadidi mita blaene-vɔ-ene, akeke mita blaeve-vɔ-eve. Kpɔtɔtɔ la ƒe avɔ akɔ abe mita eve ene, eye woalɔ̃e kple ɖeti nyuitɔwo.
The whole courtyard, [from the east entrance to the west end], must be (50 yards/44 meters) long, and the curtains that enclose it must be (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high. All the curtains must be made of fine linen, and all the bases [under the posts] must be made of bronze.
19 “Na woatsɔ akɔbli awɔ nu sia nu si woatsɔ ga awɔe le agbadɔ la ŋu: woatsɔ akɔbli awɔ gatagbadzɛawo kple tsyotiawo hã.
All the things [that are not made of gold] that are to be used inside the Sacred Tent and in the courtyard, and all the tent pegs to support the Sacred Tent and the curtains, must be made of bronze.
20 “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be woana amiti ƒe ami nyuitɔ wò nàde akaɖiawo me le agbadɔ la me, ale be akaɖiawo nanɔ bibim ɣe sia ɣi.
“Command the Israeli people that they must bring to you the best kind of olive oil to [burn in] the lamps. [They must bring this oil to you continually], in order that the lamps can burn continually.
21 Ele be Aron kple viawo nakɔ akaɖi sia, si womana wòatsi akpɔ o la ada ɖe agbadɔ la me, le xɔmetsovɔ, si xe nublaɖaka ŋkume la ŋgɔ. Woana wòanɔ bibim zã kple keli le Yehowa ŋkume. Esia nye se mavɔ na Israelviwo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
They must put the lampstand outside of the curtain which is in front of [the sacred chest which contains the stone slabs on which I have written] my commandments. Aaron must take care of the lamps. [After he dies], his descendants must do this work. The lamps are to burn every night, from evening until morning. The Israeli people must obey this regulation throughout all future generations.”
