“[Tell the people to] make the Sacred Tent using ten long strips of fine linen. They must take blue, purple, and red thread (OR, weave the strips from blue, purple, and red thread), and [a skilled craftsman] must embroider these strips with [designs that represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
2 Chak lèz twal va gen katòz mèt longè, de mèt lajè. Yo tout va menm gwosè.
Each strip is to be (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.

[Tell them to] sew five strips together to make one set, and sew the other five strips together to make another set.
4 Lè w'a fin koud senk premye lèz yo ansanm, w'a fè pasan ak kòdon ble sou tout bòdi senk premye lèz yo. W'a fè menm jan an tou ak senk lòt lèz yo.
For each set, [they must] make loops of blue [cloth] and fasten them along the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
5 W'a fè senkant pasan nan premye lèz premye gwoup la, ak senkant pasan nan dènye lèz dezyèm gwoup la. W'a fè yo koresponn de pa de.
[They must] put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
6 W'a fè senkant ti kwòk an lò ki va sèvi pou kole de gwoup lèz yo yonn ak lòt pou yo fè yon sèl tant.
[Tell them to] make 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. As a result, the inside of the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
7 W'a fè onz lèz twal ak pwal kabrit pou fè yon gwo tant pou kouvri kay Bondye a.
Also, [tell them to] make a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.

Each piece of cloth is to be (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
9 W'a pran senk ladan yo, w'a koud yo ansanm. Apre sa, w'a pran lòt sis yo, w'a koud yo ansanm tou. W'a pliye sizyèm lèz la an de sou devan tant lan.
[Tell them to] sew five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and sew the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set. [They] must fold the sixth piece [of cloth] in half to make it double over the front of the Sacred Tent.

[Tell them to] make fifty bronze clasps/fasteners and put them in the cloth loops to join the two sets together. As a result, the cover for the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.

[Let] the extra part of the cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth], hang over the back of the Sacred Tent.
13 Menm jan an tou, lèz ki sou kote yo pral gen yon pye edmi k'ap depase. Sa ki an plis la pral desann sou bò kay Bondye a pou kouvri l'.
The extra half yard/meter of each cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth] on each side, must hang over the two sides of the Sacred Tent, to protect the sides.
14 W'a fè yon kouvèti ak po belye pou tant lan. W'a tenn li wouj. Apre sa, w'a fè yon lòt kouvèti ak po bazann pou kouvri tant Bondye a.
[Tell them to] make two more covers for the Sacred Tent. One is to be made from rams’ skins that have been (tanned/dyed red), and the top cover is to be made from goatskin leather.”
15 W'a pran bwa zakasya pou fè planch ankadreman pou soutni tant Bondye a.

[Tell them to] make 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases will go under each frame. The projections [at the bottom] of each frame are [to be made] to fit into the bases.
20 Konsa tou, w'a fè ven ankadreman pou bò nò a

The two corner frames must be 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 there must be a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
25 Konsa, va gen wit ankadreman avèk sèz sipò an ajan, de sipò anba chak ankadreman.
In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there will be eight frames, and there will be 16 bases, two under each frame.

31 W'a fè yon rido ak bon twal koulè ble, violèt ak wouj ansanm ak twal fen blan tise byen sere. y'a bwode bèl pòtre zanj cheriben byen fèt sou tout rido a.
“[Tell them to] make a curtain from fine linen. A skilled craftsman must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making [designs to represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].

[Tell them to] suspend/hang the curtain from four posts made from acacia wood and covered with gold. Set [each] post in a silver base.

On top of the chest in the Very Holy Place [they] must put the lid which will be the place where [blood will be sprinkled to] forgive people’s sins.
