Mose 2 36
1 Dɔwɔla siwo si aɖaŋu kple ŋutete tɔxɛwo le la nakpe ɖe Bezalel kple Oholiab ŋu le agbadɔ la tutu kple eŋunuwo wɔwɔ me abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe ene.”
“Bezalel and Oholiab, and all the other men to whom Yahweh has given ability and enabled them to understand how to do all the work to make the Sacred Tent, must make everything just as Yahweh has commanded.”
2 Ale Mose yɔ Bezalel kple Oholiab kple ame bubu siwo katã Yehowa na ŋutetee, eye wolɔ̃ be yewoawɔ dɔ la be woadze dɔ la gɔme.
So Moses/I summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other skilled men to whom Yahweh had given special ability and who wanted to do some of the work.
3 Mose tsɔ nu siwo Israelviwo dzɔ la na wo bena woatsɔ awɔ kɔkɔeƒe la ŋu dɔwoe. Nudzɔdzɔ bubuwo gavana ŋdi sia ŋdi.
Moses/I gave them all the things that the people had brought as offerings to Yahweh for making the Sacred Tent. But the people continued bringing more things every morning.
4 Mlɔeba la, dɔa wɔlawo katã gblẽ woƒe dɔdeasiwo ɖi.
As a result, the skilled men who were doing various things to make the Sacred Tent came to Moses/me
5 Woyi ɖado go Mose, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Nu siwo nètsɔ na mí be míatsɔ awɔ dɔ si Yehowa gblɔ be woawɔ la sɔ gbɔ wu esiwo míehiã na dɔa nu wuwu!”
and said, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work that Yahweh has commanded us!”
6 Ale Mose ɖe gbeƒã na amewo katã le asaɖa la me be nudzɔdzɔ aɖeke megahiã o. Ale ameawo dzudzɔ nunanawo tsɔtsɔ vɛ,
So Moses/I gave the skilled men this message that was proclaimed throughout the camp: “No one should bring anything more as an offering to make the Sacred Tent!” When the people [heard that], they did not bring anything more.
7 elabena nu siwo wotsɔ vɛ do ŋgɔ la su na dɔ la.
What they had already brought was enough to do all the work. [In fact], it was more than was needed!
8 Aɖaŋuvɔlɔ̃lawo katã tsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ kple avɔ dzĩ ƒomevi eve wɔ avɔkpo ewo, eye wolɔ̃ Kerubiwo aɖaŋutɔe ɖe wo me hetsɔ wo wɔ Mawu ƒe dɔ lae.
All the most skilled men among the workmen made the Sacred Tent. They made it from ten strips of fine linen, and carefully embroidered it using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make figures that resembled the winged creatures.
9 Avɔawo katã sɔ; woƒe didime nye mita wuietɔ̃, wokeke mita eve.
Each strip was (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
10 Wotɔ avɔkpo atɔ̃ ɖe wo nɔewo nu, le didime nu, eye wogatɔ avɔkpo atɔ̃ mamlɛa hã nenema ke. Ale wokpɔ xɔgbãvɔ didi eve.
They sewed five strips together to make one set, and they sewed the other five strips together to make the other set.
11 Wotɔ aɖabɛka blɔtɔ kpuikpuikpui blaatɔ̃ ɖe xɔgbãvɔ ɖe sia ɖe ƒe axa ɖeka ƒe didime, ale be gbãtɔ ƒe kawo sɔ ɖe evelia tɔwo nu.
For each set, they made loops of blue [cloth] and fastened them on the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
12 Ale wotɔ ka kpuikpuikpui blaatɔ̃ hã ɖe xɔgbãvɔ la to le go kemɛ hã me, eye ɖe sia ɖe sɔ ɖe esi dze ŋgɔe la nu.
They put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
13 Emegbe la, wotsɔ sika tu ganuvi blaatɔ̃. Wosa ka kpuikpuikpuiawo ɖe ganuviawo ŋu ale wowɔ xɔgbãvɔ didi eveawo ɖekae, eye wona wòzu dzisasa na agbadɔ la.
They made 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. In that way, the inside of the Sacred Tent was [as though it was] one piece.
14 Emegbe la, wotsɔ avɔ titri siwo wolɔ̃ kple gbɔ̃fu la ƒe teƒe wuiɖekɛ gbã agbadɔ lae.
They made a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
15 Avɔkpo ɖe sia ɖe didi mita wuietɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita eve.
Each piece of cloth was (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
16 Bezalel tɔ avɔkpo atɔ̃ ɖekae, eye wòtɔ ade mamlɛa hã ɖekae, ale wozu avɔ gã didi eve.
They sewed five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and they sewed the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set.
17 Etɔ ka kpuikpuikpui ɖe avɔ gã didi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe axa ɖeka ŋu,
They made 100 loops [of blue cloth]. They fastened 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and they fastened 50 to the outer edge of the other set.
18 eye wòtu gavi blaatɔ̃ kple akɔbli na ka kpuikpuikpuiawo, ale wotsya avɔ gã didi eveawo ɖe wo nɔewo nu.
They made 50 bronze clasps/fasteners and joined the two sets together with them. In that way it formed one cover.
19 Wotsɔ agbogbalẽ siwo woɖa kple ama dzĩ la tsyɔ gbɔ̃fuvɔawo dzi, eye wogatsɔ gbɔ̃gbalẽwo tsyɔ alẽgbalẽawo dzi.
They made two more covers for the Sacred Tent. They made one from rams’ skins that had been (tanned/dyed red), and they made the top cover from goatskin leather.
20 Wotsɔ akasiati wɔ agbadɔ la ƒe ʋuƒowo, axadzitiwo kple daɖedziwo.
They made frames from acacia wood and set them up [to support the covers for the Sacred Tent].
21 Sɔti ɖe sia ɖe kɔ mita ene, eye wòkeke sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade.
Each frame was (15 feet/4.5 meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
22 Woɖe do ɖe atiawo ƒe nugbɔwo ale be woate ŋu atɔ ati eve ɖe wo nɔewo nu nyuie.
They made two projections at the bottom of each frame. These were for fastening the frames to the bases underneath them. Each frame had these projections.
23 Ʋuƒo blaeve nɔ agbadɔ la ƒe dziehe lɔƒo.
The skilled workmen made twenty frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.
24 Wotsɔ klosalo wɔ afɔti blaene ɖe atiawo te: afɔti eve nɔ ati ɖe sia ɖe te.
They made 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases went under each frame. The projections on each frame fit into these bases.
25 Sɔti blaeve nɔ agbadɔ la ƒe anyiehe lɔƒo.
[Similarly], they made 20 frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.
26 Zɔ blaene siwo wotu kple klosaloga la nɔ sɔtiawo te, eve nɔ ɖe sia ɖe te.
They made 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases for under each frame.
27 Wotu sɔti ade ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo. Afi siae nye agbadɔ la megbe.
For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, they made six frames.
28 Sɔti bubu ɖeka nɔ dzogoe ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
They also made two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].
29 Wotsɔ sikasigɛwo lé sɔtiawo kple dzogoedzitɔwo siaa ɖekae le eƒe dzigbe kple anyigbe siaa.
The two corner frames were joined from the bottom to the top (OR, joined at both the bottom and the top). At the top of each of the two corner frames they fastened a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
30 Ale sɔti enyi nɔ agbadɔ la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒekpa dzi, eye klosalozɔ wuiade nɔ wo te: eve nɔ ɖe sia ɖe te.
In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there were eight frames, and there were 16 bases, two bases under each frame.
31 Le esia megbe la, wodze akasiati tsɔ ɖo sɔtiawo ŋu. Atɔ̃ nɔ agbadɔ la ƒe axa ɖeka dzi,
The workmen made 15 crossbars from acacia wood.
32 atɔ̃ ganɔ axa evelia dzi, eye atɔ̃ bubu ganɔ agbadɔ la ŋgɔ le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo.
Five of them were for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.
33 Woɖo daɖedzitiawo ale gbegbe be wokpe le titina, eye wodo tso go ɖeka me yi go kemɛ me.
The crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent were fastened to the middle of the frames. The two long crossbars extended from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side extended from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other side.
34 Wofa sika ɖe sɔtiawo kple akasiati dzedzeawo ŋu. Wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ asigɛawo.
The workmen covered the frames with gold and fastened gold rings to the poles. The crossbars [were put] into the rings. The crossbars were [also] covered with gold.
35 Wotsɔ aɖabɛ blɔtɔ kple dzĩtɔ kple ɖeti ɣi ƒe kawo lɔ̃ xɔmetsovɔ la, eye wolɔ̃ Kerubiwo aɖaŋutɔe ɖe eme.
They made a curtain from fine white linen. Skilled craftsmen embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making designs [that resembled] the winged creatures.
36 Wotsi xɔmetsovɔ la ɖe sikagatagbadzɛ ene siwo nɔ sɔti ene ŋu la ŋu. Wofa sika ɖe sɔtiawo ŋu, eye wotu wo ɖe klosalozɔ ene dzi.
They suspended/hung the curtain from four posts that were made from acacia [wood] and covered with gold. They set [each] post in a silver base.
37 Etsɔ avɔ si wolɔ̃ kple aɖabɛ blɔtɔ kple dzĩtɔ ƒe ka, ka dzĩ kple ɖeti ɣi ƒe ka la wɔ xɔmemɔnuvɔ na agbadɔ la.
They made a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They made it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
38 Woƒo gatagbadzɛ atɔ̃ ɖe sɔti atɔ̃ ŋu. Wofa sika ɖe sɔtiawo kple woƒe helétiawo ŋu. Wotsɔ akɔbli wɔ zɔ na sɔtiawo, eye wotsɔ xɔmetsovɔ la de sɔtiawo ƒe gatagbadzɛawo ŋu.
[To support this curtain], they also made five posts from acacia wood and fastened gold clasps/fasteners to them. They completely covered the posts with gold. They also made a bronze base for each of those posts.
