Thaama 36
1 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Bezaleli, na Oholiabu, na mũndũ o wothe warĩ mũũgĩ na wĩra, arĩa Jehova aheete ũũgĩ na ũhoti wa kũmenya kũruta wĩra ũcio wothe wa gwaka handũ-harĩa-haamũre, makĩruta wĩra ũcio o ta ũrĩa Mwathani aathanĩte ũrutwo.”
“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 Ningĩ Musa agĩĩta Bezaleli na Oholiabu na mũndũ o wothe warĩ mũũgĩ, ũrĩa Jehova aheete ũhoti, na ũrĩa warĩ na wendo wa gũũka kũruta wĩra ũcio.
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 Nao makĩamũkĩra kuuma kũrĩ Musa maruta mothe marĩa andũ a Isiraeli maarehete ma kũruta wĩra wa gwaka handũ-harĩa-haamũre. Nao andũ magĩthiĩ o na mbere kũrehe maruta ma kwĩyendera rũciinĩ o rũciinĩ.
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mabundi mothe marĩa maarĩ na ũũgĩ, arĩa maarutaga wĩra wothe wa gwaka handũ-harĩa-haamũre, makĩamba gũtiga wĩra wao,
As a result, the skilled men who were doing various things to make the Sacred Tent came to Moses/me
5 na makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Andũ nĩmararehe indo makĩria ya iria ibatarainie wĩra-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte ũrutwo.”
and said, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work that Yahweh has commanded us!”
6 Nake Musa akĩruta watho, nao magĩtwara ũhoro ũcio kambĩ-inĩ guothe: “Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja ũgũcooka kũrehe iruta rĩngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ makĩrigĩrĩrio gũcooka kũrehe indo ingĩ,
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 tondũ indo iria maarĩ nacio ciarĩ nyingĩ makĩria ma iria ciabatarainie kũruta wĩra ũcio wothe.
What they had already brought was enough to do all the work. [In fact], it was more than was needed!
8 Andũ othe arĩa maarĩ oogĩ thĩinĩ wa aruti a wĩra magĩthondeka hema nyamũre na itambaya ikũmi cia gũcuurio itumĩtwo na gatani yogothetwo wega na ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, na ikĩgemio na makerubi nĩ mũtumi mũũgĩ wa wĩra ũcio.
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 Itambaya ciothe cia gũcuurio nĩciaiganaine, ciarĩ cia mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩnana kũraiha, na mĩkono ĩna kwarama.
Each strip was (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
10 Makĩnyiitithania itambaya ithano hamwe, na magĩĩka o ro ũguo na icio ingĩ ithano.
They sewed five strips together to make one set, and they sewed the other five strips together to make the other set.
11 Ningĩ magĩkundĩka ciana cia gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu mũthia-inĩ wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mũico-inĩ wa mwena ũmwe, na magĩĩka o ro ũguo harĩ gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩa mũico kĩa mwena ũcio ũngĩ.
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 Magĩcooka magĩkundĩka ciana ingĩ mĩrongo ĩtano gĩtambaya-inĩ kĩmwe gĩa gũcuurio kĩa mwena ũmwe, na ingĩ mĩrongo ĩtano gĩtambaya-inĩ gĩa gũcuurio kĩa mũico kĩa mwena ũcio ũngĩ, o kĩana kĩringaine na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
They put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
13 Ningĩ magĩthondeka ngathĩka mĩrongo ĩtano cia thahabu na magĩcihũthĩra kũohithania itambaya icio cia gũcuurio cia mĩena yeerĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio hema ĩyo nyamũre ĩgĩtuĩka kĩndũ kĩmwe.
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 Ningĩ magĩtuma itambaya cia gũcuurio ikũmi na kĩmwe cia guoya wa mbũri igĩtuĩka cia kũhumbĩra hema ĩrĩa nyamũre.
They made a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
15 Itambaya icio ciothe cia gũcuurio ikũmi na kĩmwe nĩciaiganaine; ciarĩ cia mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtatũ kũraiha, na mĩkono ĩna kwarama.
Each piece of cloth was (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
16 Magĩtumithania itambaya ithano cia gũcuurio igĩtuĩka kĩndũ kĩmwe, na cio icio ingĩ ithathatũ igĩtumithanio hamwe.
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 Ningĩ magĩkundĩka ciana mĩrongo ĩtano mũthia-inĩ wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩa mũico kĩa mwena ũmwe, na magĩĩka o ũguo mũthia-inĩ wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩa mũico kĩa mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ.
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 Ningĩ magĩthondeka ngathĩka mĩrongo ĩtano cia gĩcango cia kuohania hema ĩtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmwe.
They made 50 bronze clasps/fasteners and joined the two sets together with them. In that way it formed one cover.
19 Magĩcooka magĩthondekera hema kĩhumbĩri kĩa njũa cia ndũrũme itoboketio rangi-inĩ mũtune igatunĩha, na igũrũ wakĩo hakĩhumbĩrwo na njũa cia pomboo.
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 Ningĩ magĩthondeka buremu cia kũmĩrũgamia cia mbaũ cia mũtĩ wa mũgaa nĩ ũndũ wa hema ĩyo nyamũre.
They made frames from acacia wood and set them up [to support the covers for the Sacred Tent].
21 O buremu yarĩ ya mĩkono ikũmi kũraiha, na mũkono ũmwe na nuthu kwarama,
Each frame was (15 feet/4.5 meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
22 natuo tũhocio tũgĩcomoka tũigananĩirie. Maathondekire buremu ciothe cia hema ĩyo nyamũre na njĩra ĩyo.
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 Ningĩ magĩthondeka buremu mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia mwena wa gũthini wa hema ĩyo nyamũre,
The skilled workmen made twenty frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.
24 na magĩthondeka itina mĩrongo ĩna cia betha cia gwĩkĩrwo rungu rwacio; o itina igĩrĩ ikanyiitĩrĩra buremu ĩmwe, rungu rwa kahocio kamwe.
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 Cia mwena ũcio ũngĩ, mwena wa gathigathini wa hema ĩyo nyamũre, magĩthondeka buremu mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ
[Similarly], they made 20 frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.
26 na itina mĩrongo ĩna cia betha, o igĩrĩ igaikarĩrwo nĩ buremu ĩmwe.
They made 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases for under each frame.
27 Ningĩ magĩthondeka buremu ithathatũ cia mwena wa na thuutha, nĩguo mwena wa mũthia wa ithũĩro wa hema ĩyo nyamũre,
For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, they made six frames.
28 na buremu igĩrĩ igĩthondekwo nĩ ũndũ wa tũkoine-inĩ twa hema ĩyo nyamũre cia mwena wa na thuutha.
They also made two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].
29 Koine-inĩ ici cierĩ, buremu ciarĩ igĩrĩ igĩrĩ, kuuma thĩ nginya igũrũ, ikoohanio na mũrĩnga ũmwe; nacio cierĩ igakorwo ihaanaine.
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio haarĩ na buremu inyanya na itina ikũmi na ithathatũ cia betha; o igĩrĩ igaikarĩrwo nĩ buremu ĩmwe.
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 Magĩcooka magĩthondeka mĩgamba ya mbaũ cia mũgaa: ĩtano yayo nĩ ũndũ wa buremu cia mwena ũmwe wa hema ĩyo nyamũre,
The workmen made 15 crossbars from acacia wood.
32 na ĩtano nĩ ũndũ wa buremu cia mwena ũcio ũngĩ, na ĩtano nĩ ũndũ wa buremu cia mwena wa ithũĩro, mũthia-inĩ wa na thuutha wa hema ĩyo nyamũre.
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 Maathondekire mũgamba wa gatagatĩ uumĩte mũthia ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ hau gatagatĩ ga buremu icio.
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 Nĩmagemirie buremu icio na thahabu, na magĩthondeka mĩrĩnga ya thahabu ya kũnyiitĩrĩra mĩgamba ĩyo. Magĩcooka makĩgemia mĩgamba ĩyo na thahabu.
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 Nĩmatumire gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩa ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, na gatani ĩrĩa njogothe wega, na gĩkĩgemio na makerubi nĩ mũbundi mũũgĩ.
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 Makĩmĩthondekera itugĩ inya cia mbaũ cia mĩgaa na magĩcigemia na thahabu. Magĩcooka magĩthondeka tũcuurio twa thahabu, na magĩtwekia itina inya ciacio cia betha.
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 Itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hema makĩrĩthondekera gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩa ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, na gatani ĩrĩa njogothe wega, nakĩo kĩagemetio nĩ mũgemia mũũgĩ;
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 na magĩthondeka itugĩ ithano irĩ na tũcuurio twacio. Makĩgemia itugĩ icio na igũrũ na mĩcibi yacio na thahabu, na magĩcithondekera itina ithano cia gĩcango.
[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.
