1 Bezaleli nĩathondekire ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩa mbaũ cia mũgaa, mũigana wa mĩkono ĩĩrĩ kũraiha, na mũkono ũmwe na nuthu kwarama, na mũkono ũmwe na nuthu kũraiha na igũrũ.
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 Akĩrĩgemia na thahabu therie thĩinĩ na nja, na akĩrĩtiriha na mũcibi wa thahabu mĩena yothe.
He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.
3 Nĩarĩtwekeirie icũhĩ inya cia thahabu na agĩciohania na magũrũ marĩo mana, o icũhĩ igĩrĩ mwena ũmwe na icũhĩ igĩrĩ mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ.
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 Ningĩ agĩthondeka mĩtĩ mĩraaya ya mũgaa na akĩmĩgemia na thahabu.
He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.
5 Agĩcooka agĩtoonyia mĩtĩ ĩyo mĩraaya mĩrĩnga-inĩ ĩyo yarĩ mĩena-inĩ ya ithandũkũ ĩrĩ ya kũrĩkuua.
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 Nĩarĩthondekeire gĩtĩ gĩa tha gĩa thahabu, therie kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩrĩ na nuthu, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe na nuthu.
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 Agĩcooka agĩtura makerubi meerĩ ma thahabu akĩmekĩra mĩthia-inĩ ya gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha.
He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.
8 Nĩathondekire ikerubi rĩmwe rĩikare mũthia-inĩ ũmwe na ikerubi rĩu rĩngĩ rĩikare mũthia-inĩ ũrĩa ũngĩ; mĩthia-inĩ ĩyo yeerĩ akĩmathondeka marĩ kĩndũ kĩmwe na gĩtĩ gĩa tha.
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 Mathagu ma makerubi macio matambũrũkĩtio na igũrũ, magathiĩka gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha. Makerubi macio maathondeketwo maroranĩte, na marorete gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha.
[He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.
10 Nĩmathondekire metha ya mbaũ cia mũgaa, ũraihu wayo warĩ mĩkono ĩĩrĩ, na wariĩ wayo warĩ mũkono ũmwe, na kũraiha na igũrũ kwayo kwarĩ mũkono ũmwe na nuthu.
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 Ningĩ makĩmĩgemia na thahabu therie, na makĩmĩtiriha na mũcibi wa thahabu.
He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.
12 Magĩcooka makĩmĩthondekera karũbaũ gaceke ka wariĩ wa rũhĩ, gagĩthiũrũrũkĩria metha ĩyo, na magĩgatiriha na mũcibi wa thahabu.
He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.
13 Magĩtwekeria metha ĩyo mĩrĩnga ĩna ya thahabu, na makĩmĩoherera koine-inĩ inya ciayo, o harĩa magũrũ mayo mana maarĩ.
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 Icũhĩ icio ciekĩrirwo hakuhĩ na mũcibi wa karũbaũ karĩa gaceke, nĩgeetha ĩnyiitagĩrĩre mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩraaya yahũthagĩrwo gũkuua metha ĩyo.
The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.
15 Mĩtĩ ĩyo mĩraaya ya gũkuua metha yarĩ ya mbaũ cia mũgaa, na ĩkagemio na thahabu.
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 Ningĩ magĩthondeka indo cia thahabu therie, cia kũigagĩrĩrwo metha, na nacio nĩ: thaani, na thaani nene, na mbakũri, na ndigithũ cia gũitaga iruta rĩa kũnyuuo.
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 Nĩmathondekire mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa wa thahabu therie. Mũrũgamo waguo na gĩtina kĩaguo igĩturwo inyiitanĩte o hamwe na ikombe ciaguo na mahũa maguo, na tũkonyo twaguo; ciothe igĩkorwo irĩ kĩndũ kĩmwe naguo.
[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 Mũtĩ ũcio warĩ na honge ithathatũ ciumĩte mĩena-inĩ ya mũrũgamo wa mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa; ithatũ mwena ũmwe, na ithatũ mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ.
There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
19 Ikombe ithatũ ciaturĩtwo ihaana ta mahũa ma mũrothi, irĩ na tũkonyo na mahũa, igakorwo rũhonge-inĩ rũmwe, nacio ithatũ igakorwo rũhonge-inĩ rũu rũngĩ; honge icio ciothe ithathatũ ciahaanaga ũguo ciumĩte mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa.
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 Na mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa haarĩ na ikombe inya ciathondeketwo ihaana ta mahũa ma mũrothi, irĩ na tũkonyo na mahũa.
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 Gakonyo kamwe kaarĩ rungu rwa honge igĩrĩ ciumĩte mũrũgamo-inĩ wa mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa, nako gakonyo ga keerĩ kaarĩ rungu rwa honge cia keerĩ igĩrĩ, na gakonyo ga gatatũ kaarĩ rungu rwa honge cia gatatũ igĩrĩ; ciothe ciarĩ honge ithathatũ.
On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.
22 Tũkonyo na honge ciarĩ kĩndũ kĩmwe na mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa, iturĩtwo kuuma thahabu therie.
All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
23 Nĩmathondekire matawa mũgwanja maguo, o ũndũ ũmwe na magathĩ ma gũtinia ndaambĩ, na thaani cia mũrarĩ wa ndaambĩ, cia thahabu therie.
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 Maahũthĩrire taranda ĩmwe ya thahabu therie gũthondeka mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa na indo ciaguo ciothe.
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 Nĩmathondekire kĩgongona gĩa gũcinĩra ũbumba na mbaũ cia mũgaa. Kĩaiganaine mĩena yothe, mũigana wa mũkono ũmwe kũraiha, na mũkono ũmwe kwarama, na mĩkono ĩĩrĩ kũraiha na igũrũ. Hĩa ciakĩo ciarĩ kĩndũ kĩmwe na kĩgongona.
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 Magĩkĩgemia igũrũ na mĩena yothe o na hĩa ciakĩo na thahabu therie na magĩgĩtiriha na mũcibi wa thahabu ũgĩgĩthiũrũrũkĩria.
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 Magĩthondeka mĩrĩnga ĩĩrĩ ya thahabu mũhuro wa mũcibi ũcio, ĩĩrĩ mwena ũmwe na ĩĩrĩ mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ. Mĩrĩnga ĩyo nĩyo yatoonyagio mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩraihu yatũmagĩrwo gũgĩkuua.
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 Magĩcooka magĩthondeka mĩtĩ ĩngĩ mĩraaya ya mũgaa na makĩmĩgemia na thahabu.
He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold.
29 O na ningĩ magĩthondeka maguta matheru ma gũitanĩrĩrio na ũbumba mũnungi wega ũrĩa mũtherie, wĩra wa mũthondeki mũũgĩ wa maguta.
He also made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
