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.
Then Bezalel made the [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It was (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
2 Wofa sika nyuitɔ ɖe eme kple egodo siaa, eye wotsɔ sika mimli do atsiã na eto kpe ɖo.
He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.
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.
He made/cast four rings from gold [and fastened them] to the legs of the chest. He put two rings on each side of the chest.
4 Etsɔ akasiati kpa kpo didi eve, fa sika ɖe wo ŋu,
He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.
5 eye wòtsɔ wo ƒo ɖe sikasigɛawo me hena nubablaɖaka la kɔkɔ.
He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, in order that the chest could be carried [by means of the poles].
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 made a lid for the chest. That was [the place where Yahweh would] forgive people’s sins. It [also] was (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
7 Etsɔ sika tu kerubi eve, eye wòtsɔ wo da ɖe sikanutunu la ƒe nu eveawo.
He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.
8 Ewɔ kerubi ɖeka kple amenuvevezikpui la, eye wòwɔ ɖeka wònɔ nutunu la ƒe didime ƒe nu ɖeka.
One of these was put at each end of the chest. The gold [with which they were made] was joined to the gold from which the lid [was made].
9 Kerubi eveawo dze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo, wokeke woƒe aʋalawo ɖe “Amenuveveteƒe” la dzi, eye wode mo to ɖe edzi.
[He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.
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.
Bezalel made a table from acacia wood. It was (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./44 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
11 Wofa sika nyuitɔ ɖe eŋu eye wotsɔ sika mimli ɖo atsyɔ̃ na eto kpe ɖo.
He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.
12 Etsɔ sika wɔ toɖonu si kɔ abe milimita blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ ene la ɖo to na kplɔ̃ la kpe ɖo.
He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.
13 Etu sikasigɛ ene klã ɖe Kplɔ̃ la ƒe afɔ eneawo ŋu.
He made/cast four rings from gold and fastened the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].
14 Wote ɖe atsyɔ̃ɖonu mimli la ŋu. Wowɔ wo be woatsɔ ati aƒo ɖe wo me hena aɖaka la kɔkɔ.
The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.
15 Wotsɔ akasiati kpa kpo siwo woatsɔ akɔ Kplɔ̃ lae, eye wofa sika ɖe wo ŋuti.
He made two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. These poles for carrying the table were then inserted into the rings.
16 Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋuti la, wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ agbawo, nutɔgbawo, detsikugbawo kple go siwo me woaku aha ɖo hena nunovɔsasa.
He also made from pure gold all the things to be put on the table. He made the plates, the cups, and the jars and bowls to be used [when the priests] poured out wine [as an offering to Yahweh].
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] made the lampstand from pure gold. Its base and its shaft were hammered from [one large lump of] gold. [The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the petals [that decorated the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft were all hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.
18 Alɔ ade nɔ akaɖiti la ŋu, etɔ̃ nɔ akpa ɖeka, eye etɔ̃ nɔ akpa evelia hã.
There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
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.
Each of the branches had on it three [gold decorations that looked like] almond blossoms. These decorations also had flower buds and [flower] petals.
20 Nenema ke woɖo atsyɔ̃ na akaɖiti la kple kplu ene siwo wowɔ ɖe “almɔd” seƒoƒo ƒe nɔnɔme me.
On the [shaft of the] lampstand there were four [gold decorations that also looked like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and [flower] petals.
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.
On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.
22 Wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ atsyɔ̃ɖoɖoawo kple alɔawo katã wonye nu blibo ɖeka.
All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
23 Emegbe la, wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ akaɖigbɛ adre ɖe alɔawo, ɖovulãnuawo kple dzowɔgagbɛawo siaa ŋu.
Bezalel also made seven small cups [for holding oil. He put one cup on top of the shaft and he put the others on top of the branches]. He made from pure gold the tongs [for removing the burned wicks] and the trays [in which to put the burned wicks].
24 Wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ si ƒe kpekpeme nye kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre la wɔ akaɖiti la kple eŋunuwoe.
He used (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the things that were used to take care of it.
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.
From acacia wood, Bezalel made the altar [for burning] incense. It was square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It was (3 ft./90 cm.) high. He made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar was made of.
26 Efa sika nyuitɔ ɖe eŋuti keŋ, eye wòɖo atsyɔ̃ na eto kple sika.
He covered the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. He put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
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.
He made two gold rings for carrying the altar. Then he attached them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. The poles by means of which the altar was to be carried were to be inserted into those rings.
28 Wotsɔ akasiati kpa kpo didiawo, eye wofa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with 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 made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
