< Mose 2 37 >
1 Le esia megbe la, Bezalel tsɔ akasiati wɔ nubablaɖaka la. Edidi sentimita alafa ɖeka kple ewo, ekeke sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade, eye wòkɔ sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade.
Now Bezalel also made the ark from setim wood, having two and one half cubits in length, and one and one half cubits in width, and the height was also one and one half cubits. And he clothed it with the purest gold, inside and out.
2 Wofa sika nyuitɔ ɖe eme kple egodo siaa, eye wotsɔ sika mimli do atsiã na eto kpe ɖo.
And for it he made a crown of gold all around,
3 Ewɔ sikagagɔdɔ̃e ene siwo anɔ abe asigɛ ene, eye wòklã wo ɖe dzogoe ene siwo le ete la ŋu; sikagagɔdɔ̃e eve nɔ aɖaka la ƒe axa ɖe sia ɖe.
casting four gold rings at its four corners: two rings on one side, and two on the other.
4 Etsɔ akasiati kpa kpo didi eve, fa sika ɖe wo ŋu,
Likewise, he made bars from setim wood, which he clothed with gold,
5 eye wòtsɔ wo ƒo ɖe sikasigɛawo me hena nubablaɖaka la kɔkɔ.
and he placed them into the rings, which were at the sides of the ark, to carry it.
6 Le esia megbe la, etsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ nubablaɖaka la ƒe nutunu. Woyɔ nutunu sia be, “Amenuveveteƒe.” Edidi sentimita alafa ɖeka kple ewo, eye wòkeke sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade.
He also made the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, from the finest gold, two and one half cubits in length, and one and one half cubits in width,
7 Etsɔ sika tu kerubi eve, eye wòtsɔ wo da ɖe sikanutunu la ƒe nu eveawo.
and then two Cherubim of ductile gold, which he positioned at the two sides of the propitiatory:
8 Ewɔ kerubi ɖeka kple amenuvevezikpui la, eye wòwɔ ɖeka wònɔ nutunu la ƒe didime ƒe nu ɖeka.
one Cherub at the top of one side, and the other Cherub at the top of the other side. The two Cherubim were at each end of the propitiatory,
9 Kerubi eveawo dze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo, wokeke woƒe aʋalawo ɖe “Amenuveveteƒe” la dzi, eye wode mo to ɖe edzi.
spreading their wings, and protecting the propitiatory, and gazing toward it and toward one another.
10 Emegbe la, etsɔ akasiati kpa kplɔ̃e. Kplɔ̃ la didi sentimita blaenyi-vɔ-enyi, ekeke sentimita blaene-vɔ-ene, eye wòkɔ sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade.
He also made the table from setim wood, with a length of two cubits, and a width of one cubit, which had a height of one and one half cubits.
11 Wofa sika nyuitɔ ɖe eŋu eye wotsɔ sika mimli ɖo atsyɔ̃ na eto kpe ɖo.
And he surrounded it with the finest gold, and for it he made a ledge of gold all around,
12 Etsɔ sika wɔ toɖonu si kɔ abe milimita blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ ene la ɖo to na kplɔ̃ la kpe ɖo.
and for the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, four fingers high, and upon the same, another crown of gold.
13 Etu sikasigɛ ene klã ɖe Kplɔ̃ la ƒe afɔ eneawo ŋu.
And he cast four gold rings, which he set at the four corners at each foot of the table,
14 Wote ɖe atsyɔ̃ɖonu mimli la ŋu. Wowɔ wo be woatsɔ ati aƒo ɖe wo me hena aɖaka la kɔkɔ.
opposite the crown. And he placed the bars into them, so that the table could be carried.
15 Wotsɔ akasiati kpa kpo siwo woatsɔ akɔ Kplɔ̃ lae, eye wofa sika ɖe wo ŋuti.
Likewise, the bars themselves he made from setim wood, and he surrounded them with gold.
16 Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋuti la, wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ agbawo, nutɔgbawo, detsikugbawo kple go siwo me woaku aha ɖo hena nunovɔsasa.
And he made vessels for the diverse uses of the table, as well as the little cups, and bowls, and measuring cups, and the censers, from pure gold, in which the libations would be offered.
17 Egatsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ akaɖiti lae. Akaɖiti la ƒe zɔ, ati didi la, akaɖigbɛawo ƒe nɔƒe kple seƒoƒo siwo woatsɔ aɖo atsyɔ̃ na akaɖiti la katã nye nu blibo ɖeka.
He also made the lampstand, formed from the finest gold. The branches, bowls, and little spheres, as well as the lilies, proceeded from its bar:
18 Alɔ ade nɔ akaɖiti la ŋu, etɔ̃ nɔ akpa ɖeka, eye etɔ̃ nɔ akpa evelia hã.
six on the two sides, three branches on one side, and three on the other.
19 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 katã, siwo le akaɖiti la kɔgo ŋu.
Three bowls, the size of a nut, were on each branch, with little spheres and lilies, and three bowls, in the likeness of a nut, were on the other branch, with the little spheres together with the lilies. The workmanship of the six branches, which proceeded from the shaft of the lampstand, was equal.
20 Nenema ke woɖo atsyɔ̃ na akaɖiti la kple kplu ene siwo wowɔ ɖe “almɔd” seƒoƒo ƒe nɔnɔme me.
Now on the shaft itself were four bowls, the size of a nut, and little spheres together with each one, and lilies,
21 Seƒoƒo ɖeka kple eƒe tamekuku nɔ 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.
and little spheres under two branches in three places, which together made six branches proceeding from one bar.
22 Wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ atsyɔ̃ɖoɖoawo kple alɔawo katã wonye nu blibo ɖeka.
Thus, both the little spheres and the branches were from the same thing: all hand-worked from the purest gold.
23 Emegbe la, wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ akaɖigbɛ adre ɖe alɔawo, ɖovulãnuawo kple dzowɔgagbɛawo siaa ŋu.
He also made the seven lamps with their candle snuffers, and the vessels where the candles would be extinguished, from the finest gold.
24 Wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ si ƒe kpekpeme nye kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre la wɔ akaɖiti la kple eŋunuwoe.
The lampstand with all its vessels weighed a talent of gold.
25 Wotsɔ akasiati kpa dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui lae. Eƒe tame ƒe kekeme kple didime siaa sɔ, anɔ sentimita blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃. Ekɔ sentimita blaasiekɛ. Dzo ɖekaɖeka nɔ dzogoe etɔ̃ dzi; wowɔ wo ɖe dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la ŋu, wònye nu ɖeka.
He also made the altar of incense from setim wood, having one cubit on each of four sides, and in height, two. From its corners proceeded horns.
26 Efa sika nyuitɔ ɖe eŋuti keŋ, eye wòɖo atsyɔ̃ na eto kple sika.
And he clothed it with the purest gold, with its grating, as well as the sides and the horns.
27 Ewɔ sikagagɔdɔ̃e eve ɖe atsyɔ̃ɖonu la te, eye wògawɔ bubu eve ɖe axa eveawo hã dzi be woatsɔ atiwo aƒo ɖe wo me hena dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la kɔkɔ.
And for it he made a crown of gold all around, and two gold rings under the crown at each side, so that the bars might be put into them, and the altar could be carried.
28 Wotsɔ akasiati kpa kpo didiawo, eye wofa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
Now the bars themselves he also made from setim wood, and he covered them with layers of gold.
29 Le esiawo megbe la, etsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo wɔ ami kɔkɔe si woasi na nunɔlawo. Egawɔ dzudzɔdonu kɔkɔe abe ale si amiʋeʋĩwɔla nyuitɔwo wɔnɛ ene.
He also composed the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and the incense, from the purest aromatics, with the skill of a perfumer.
