1 Bezalel kpa numevɔsamlekpui la hã kple akasiati. Etame ƒe didime kple eƒe kekeme siaa nye mita eve kple desimita eve. Eƒe kɔkɔme nye mita ɖeka kple desimita etɔ̃.
[Several men helped] Bezalel to make the altar for burning sacrifices. They made it from acacia wood. It was square, (7-1/2 feet/2.2 meters) on each side, and it was (4-1/2 feet/1.3 meters) high.
2 Dzo ene nɔ dzogoe eneawo dzi; wokpa wo kpe ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la ŋu wonye nu blibo ɖeka. Wofa akɔbli ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la ŋu.
They 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]. They covered the whole altar with bronze.
3 Etsɔ akɔbli wɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋunuwo, afilɔnuwo, gagbɛwo, gafluwo kple dzoɖesonuwo.
They made the pans in which to put the greasy ashes [from the animal sacrifices]. They also made the shovels for cleaning out the ashes. They made the basins and forks for turning the meat as it cooked, and buckets for carrying hot coals/ashes. All of those things were made from bronze.
4 Emegbe la, egatsɔ akɔbli wɔ adzrala, eye wòlée ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te godoo, le titina na anyigba kple vɔsamlekpui la te, le teƒe si woado dzo ɖo.
They also made a bronze grating to hold the wood and burning coals. They put the grating under the rim that went around the altar. [They] made it so that it was [inside the altar], halfway down.
5 Wotu akɔblisigɛ ene ɖe adzrala la ƒe akpa eveawo ŋu be woatsɔ atiawo aƒo ɖe wo me hena ekɔkɔ.
They made bronze rings in which to put the poles [for carrying the altar], and fastened one of them to each of the corners of the altar.
6 Wotsɔ akasiati wɔ ekɔtiawo hãe, eye wofa akɔbli ɖe wo ŋu.
They made the poles from acacia wood and covered them with bronze.
7 Wotsɔ atiawo ƒo ɖe asigɛawo me le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe axawo dzi. Wotsɔ ʋuƒo wɔ vɔsamlekpui lae, eye do le eme.
They put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar. The poles were for carrying the altar.
8 Etsɔ akɔblihuhɔ̃e wɔ tsileze la kple eƒe zɔ. Nyɔnu siwo subɔna le agbadɔ la nu lae na ahuhɔ̃eawo wotsɔ wɔ woe.
The altar was [hollow] like an empty box. It was made from boards [of acacia wood]. They made/cast the washbasin and its base from bronze. The bronze was from the mirrors that belonged to the women who worked at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
9 Le esia megbe la, ewɔ xɔxɔnu ɖe agbadɔ la ŋu. Agbadɔ la ƒe akpa si le dziehe la didi mita blaene-vɔ-ene. Woxee kple avɔ si wolɔ̃ kple ɖetika ɣi,
[Around the Sacred Tent] Bezalel and his helpers made a courtyard. To form the courtyard, they made curtains of fine white linen. On the south side, the curtain was (150 feet/46 meters) long.
10 ɖe kpɔti blaeve ŋu. Ke kpɔti blaeveawo ƒe afɔtiwo nye akɔbliga, eye wotsɔ klosaloga tu gatagbadzɛ siwo wotsɔ avɔawo kui la ɖe kpɔtiawo ŋu.
[To hang the curtain], they made 20 bronze posts and 20 bronze bases, [one for under each post]. [To fasten the curtains to] the posts, they made silver hooks, and [they made metal] rods [covered with] silver.
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 made the same kind of curtains, posts, bases, and hooks for the north side of the courtyard.
12 Agbadɔ la keke mita blaeve-vɔ-ene le ɣetoɖoƒe gome. Wotsi avɔ la ɖe kpɔti ewo siwo te zɔ ɖekaɖeka le kple klosalogatagbadzɛawo kple klosalohelétiawo ŋu.
On the west side [of the courtyard], they made a curtain (75 feet/23 meters) long. They also made ten posts on which to hang the curtains, and ten bases, with silver hooks and [metal] rods [covered with] silver.
13 Ɣedzeƒe gome hã keke mita blaeve-vɔ-eve.
On the east side, [where the entrance is], the courtyard was (75 feet/23 meters) wide.
14 Avɔ la keke mita ade, desimita ade kple afã le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu ƒe akpa ɖeka.
On each side of the entrance, they made a curtain (22-1/2 feet/6.6 meters) wide. On each side they [were hung from] three posts, and one base was under each post.
15 Nenema ke wotsi avɔ si keke mita ade, desimita ade kple afã la ɖe mɔnu la ƒe akpa evelia si te ɖe xɔxɔnu la ŋu, ɖe kpɔti etɔ̃ siwo te zɔ ɖekaɖeka le la ŋu.
16 Wotsɔ ɖeti ɣi lɔ̃ avɔ siwo wotsi ƒo xlã agbadɔ lae.
All the curtains around the courtyard were made from fine white linen.
17 Akɔblizɔ nɔ kpɔti ɖe sia ɖe te. Wotsɔ klosalo wɔ gatagbadzɛawo kple helétiawo katã. Wofa klosalo ɖe kpɔtiawo tame. Wotsɔ klosalo wɔ heléti siwo ŋu wotsi avɔ la ɖo.
All the posts around the courtyard were made of bronze, but the tops were covered with silver. The posts were connected with [metal] rods [covered with] silver. The clasps/fasteners and hooks were made of silver.
18 Wotsɔ ɖeti ɣi lɔ̃ xɔmemɔnuvɔ, eye wolɔ̃ nu ɖe eme kple aɖabɛ blɔtɔ, dzĩtɔ kple hẽtɔ ƒe ka. Xɔmemɔnuvɔ la didi mita asieke. Ekeke mita eve abe avɔ siwo wotsi ƒo xlã xɔxɔnu la dometɔ ɖeka ene.
For the entrance of the courtyard, they made a curtain from fine white linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. The curtain was (30 feet/9 meters) long and (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high, just like the other curtains around the courtyard.
19 Wotsii ɖe kpɔti ene ŋu. Akɔblizɔ nɔ kpɔti ɖe sia ɖe te. Wotsɔ klosalo wɔ gatagbadzɛawo kple helétiawo. Wofa klosalo ɖe kpɔtiawo tame.
All the curtains were made of fine white linen. They were supported by four posts, and [under each post] was a base made of bronze. All the posts around the courtyard were connected with [metal] rods [covered with] silver. The clasps/fasteners were made of silver, and the tops of the posts were covered with silver.
20 Wotsɔ akɔbli tu tsyoti siwo katã ŋu dɔ wowɔ le agbadɔ la tutu kple xɔxɔnu la wɔwɔ me.
All the tent pegs to support the Sacred Tent and the curtains around the courtyard were made of bronze.
21 Nu siwo katã agbadɔ la tutu lɔ ɖe eme la woe nye: agbadɔ si nye nubablaɖaka la ƒe nɔƒe, esi Levi ƒe viwo lé da ɖi le Mose ƒe sedede nu, eye wowɔ esia le Aron ƒe viŋutsu, nunɔla Itamar ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.
Here is a list of the amounts of metal used to make the Sacred Tent. Moses/I told [some men from] the tribe of Levi to [count all the materials used and] write down the amounts. Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest, supervised those men.
22 Aɖaŋutɔwo ƒe tatɔwoe nye Bezalel, Uri ƒe viŋutsu kple Hur si tso Yuda ƒe to la me ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi. Wowɔ nu sia nu pɛpɛpɛ abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene.
Bezalel the son of Uri and grandson of Hur made all the things that Yahweh commanded Moses/me to be made.

Bezalel’s helper was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. Oholiab was a skilled engraver who made artistic things. He made fine white linen, and he embroidered designs using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. He also made other cloth.
24 Sika si katã ŋu dɔ wowɔ le Kɔkɔeƒe la tutu me hekpe ɖe sika si wotsɔ wɔ nunyevɔsa tɔ ŋu la le “tɔn” ɖeka, le Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu.
All the gold that was used to make the Sacred Tent weighed (2,195 pounds/1,000 kg.). They used the official standard when they weighed the gold.
25 Klosalo si woxɔ le amewo si la ƒe kpekpemee nye kilogram akpe etɔ̃, alafa ene blaetɔ̃, le Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu.
All the silver that the people contributed when the leaders (took the census/counted the men) weighed (7,500 pounds/3,400 kg.). They also used the official standard when they weighed the silver.
26 Ŋutsu siwo katã woxlẽ, woxɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema la dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzɔ gram ade si woɖo na wo le kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu. Ŋutsu siawo ƒe xexlẽmee nye akpe alafa ade kple etɔ̃, alafa atɔ̃ blaatɔ̃.
All the men who were at least 20 years old were counted, and they each paid the required amount. That was a total of 603,550 men.
27 Wotsɔ klosalo kilogram akpe etɔ̃ alafa ene wɔ zɔwo na kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe sɔti kple kpɔti siwo ŋu wotsi xɔmetsovɔ la ɖo. Wotsɔ klosalo kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene wɔ zɔ ɖeka.
They used (75 pounds/34 kg.) of silver for making/casting each of the 100 bases to [put under the posts to support] the curtains of the Sacred Tent.
28 Wotsɔ klosalo si susɔ la fa ɖe kpɔtiawo tame, eye wotsɔ mamlɛa tu helétiawo kple gatagbadzɛawo.
Bezalel [and his helpers] used the (50 pounds/30 kg.) of silver that was not used for the bases to make the rods and the hooks for the posts, and to cover the tops of the posts.
29 Akɔbli si wokpɔ tso nunyevɔsa me la le “tɔn” eve kple afã,
The bronze that the people contributed weighed (5,310 pounds/2,425 kg.).
