Tell the people to make a big Sacred Tent for me, so that I can live in it among them.
9 W'a fè tant lan ak tout bagay ki pou ale ladan l', dapre modèl mwen pral ba ou a.

“[Tell the people to] make a [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It is to be (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
11 W'a kouvri l' nèt, anndan kou deyò, ak pi bon klas lò ki genyen. Epi w'a mete yon bòdi an lò fè wonn li.
Cover it with pure gold inside and outside, and put a gold border around the top of it.

15 Se pou poto yo toujou rete nan bag yo, san yo pa janm wete yo.
The poles must always be left in the rings; they must not take the poles out [of the rings].
16 Mwen pral ba ou de ròch plat ki va sèvi pou nou toujou chonje m'. W'a mete yo nan bwat la.
Put inside the chest the [two stone slabs that I will give you, on which] I have written my commandments.

One of these is to be put at each end of the chest, but the gold [from which] they [are made] must be joined to the gold from which the lid [is made].

[Tell them to place the] winged creatures so that their wings touch each other and spread out over the lid.
21 W'a mete kouvèti a sou bwat la. Nan bwat la menm, w'a mete de ròch plat mwen pral ba ou pou nou ka toujou chonje mwen.
Put inside the chest the stone slabs that I will give you. Then fasten the lid onto the top of the chest.
22 Se la m'a toujou kontre avè ou. m'a rete anwo kouvèti a, nan mitan de zanj cheriben yo, m'a ba ou tout lòd mwen gen pou m' ba ou yo pou moun Izrayèl yo.
I will set times to talk with you there. From above the lid of the chest, between the two winged creatures, I will tell to you all my laws that [you must tell] to the Israeli people.”

[Tell them to] make/cast four rings from gold and fasten the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].
27 W'a moute bag yo toupre ankadreman an. Se nan twou bag yo pou ou pase poto bwa zakasya ki pou sèvi pou pote tab la.
The rings should be fastened to the table near the rim.
28 W'a fè poto yo ak bwa zakasya, epi w'a kouvri yo nèt ak lò. Se ak poto sa yo pou yo sèvi pou pote tab la.

29 W'a fè asyèt, bòl, tas, kafetyè. W'a mete yo apa pou mwen. W'a fè yo ak pi bon lò ki genyen. Se ak yo pou nou sèvi lè n'ap fè sèvis pou mwen.
Also [tell them to] make plates, cups, jars, and bowls to be used [when the priests] pour out wine [to offer to me]. They must all be made from pure gold.
30 Epi w'a toujou mete sou tab la pen yo ofri ban mwen yo. Wi, se pou pen yo tout tan la devan mwen.
On the table, in front of the chest, there must always be the loaves of sacred bread [that the priests have offered] to me.”
31 W'a fè yon gwo lanp sèt branch ak pi bon lò ki genyen. y'a pran yon sèl gwo mòso lò, y'a bat li ak mato pou fè pye gwo lanp sèt branch lan ansanm ak tout kò li. y'a fè pòtre bèl flè, flè an bouton, flè louvri, sou tout kò li. Yo tout va fè yon sèl pyès ak pye lanp lan.

[The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the [flower] petals [that decorate the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft are all to be hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.
32 Gwo lanp lan va gen sèt branch, yonn kanpe dwat nan mitan ak twa branch chak bò.
There are to be six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
33 Sou chak branch sou kote yo, y'a fè pòtre twa flè nwa kajou ak tout boujon yo.
Each of the branches is to have on it three [gold decorations that will look like] almond blossoms. These decorations must also have flower buds and [flower] petals.
34 Sou branch ki nan mitan an va gen kat flè nwa kajou ak tout boujon yo.
On the [shaft of the] lampstand there are to be four [gold decorations that also look like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and petals.
35 W'a mete yon ti boujon anba chak pè branch sou kote yo.
On each side, there is to be one [flower] bud beneath each of the branches.
36 Boujon yo ak branch yo va fè yon sèl pyès ak pye gwo lanp lan. Se va yon sèl pyès lò y'a bat ak mato pou ba li fòm yo vle a.
All these buds and branches, along with the shaft, are to be hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
37 y'a fè sèt lanp pou gwo lanp lan, y'a moute yo sou li yon jan pou yo ka klere sou devan.
Also [tell them to] make seven small cups [for holding oil. One is to be put on top of the shaft and the others are to be put on top of the branches]. Place these cups so that [when the lamps are lit], the light will shine toward the (front of the lampstand/entrance).

[Tell them to] use (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and the tongs and the trays.
