Egzòd 25
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “There [are many things that I want] you to tell to the Israeli people.
2 “Pale fis Israël yo pou yo rasanble yon ofrann pou Mwen. Soti nan chak òm ki gen bon kè ou va resevwa yon ofrann.
Tell them that they must give offerings/gifts to me. Receive from the people every offering/gift that they want to give to me.
3 “Sa se ofrann ke nou va rekeyi nan men yo: lò, lajan, ak bwonz,
These are the things that they may offer/give: Gold, silver, bronze,
4 Twal nan koulè ble, mov, ak wouj, avèk twal fen blan, pwal kabrit,
blue, purple, and scarlet yarn/wool, fine (linen/white cloth), goats’ hair for making [cloth],
5 po belye fonse wouj, po dofen bwa akasya,
rams’ skins that have been (tanned/dyed red), goatskins, [hard] wood from acacia [trees],
6 lwil pou limyè, epis pou lwil onksyon, e pou lansan santi bon
olive oil [to burn] in the lamps, spices to [put in] the olive oil for anointing [the priests] and in the sweet-smelling incense,
7 pyè oniks ak pyè baz bijou pou efòd la, e pou pyès vètman lestomak la.
[expensive quartz] stones [called] onyx, and other expensive stones to be fastened [to the priest’s vest] and put on the pouches [that are to be fastened to the vest].
8 “Kite yo konstwi yon sanktyè pou Mwen, pou Mwen kapab rete pami yo.
Tell the people to make a big Sacred Tent for me, so that I can live in it among them.
9 Selon tout sa ke M gen pou montre nou, kòm modèl tabènak la, ak patwon tout mèb li yo, se konsa ojis ke nou va konstwi li.
They must make the Sacred Tent and all the things that will be used inside it according to the plan/model that I will show you.”
10 “Yo va konstwi yon lach avèk bwa akasya, de koude edmi nan longè, yon koude edmi nan lajè, ak yon koude edmi nan wotè.
“[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 Ou va kouvri li avèk lò pi ni anndan, ni deyò. Fè yon kouch lò pou kouvri li nèt, e fè yon woulèt lò pou antoure li.
Cover it with pure gold inside and outside, and put a gold border around the top of it.
12 Ou va fonde kat gwo wondèl pou li, e tache yo nan kat pye li yo, epi de wondèl va yon kote, e de wondèl yon lòt kote.
[They must] make/cast four rings from gold and fasten them to the legs of the chest. Put two rings on each side of the chest.
13 “Ou va fè poto ak bwa akasya e kouvri yo avèk yon kouch lò.
[They must] make [two] poles from acacia wood, and they must cover them with gold.
14 Ou va mete poto yo pase anndan wondèl yo sou kote lach la, e pote lach la avèk yo.
[They must] put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, so that the chest can be carried by the poles.
15 Poto yo va rete nan wondèl lach yo. Yo p ap retire sou li.
The poles must always be left in the rings; they must not take the poles out [of the rings].
16 Ou va mete nan lach la temwayaj ke Mwen va bay ou a.
Put inside the chest the [two stone slabs that I will give you, on which] I have written my commandments.
17 “Ou va fè yon chèz pwopyatwa avèk lò pi, de koude edmi nan longè, ak yon koude edmi nan lajè.
[Tell them to] make a lid for the chest from pure gold. [It will be the place where I will] forgive people’s sins. It [also] is to be (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
18 Ou va fè de cheriben an lò, fè yo tankou yon zèv an lò ki bat avèk zouti nan de bout a chèz pwopyatwa a.
[Tell them to] hammer [huge lump of] gold into the form of two creatures that have wings.
19 Fè yon cheriben nan yon pwent, e youn lòt nan lòt pwent lan. Ou va fè cheriben yo tankou yon sèl pyès avèk chèz pwopyatwa a, nan de pwent li.
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].
20 Cheriben yo va gen zèl yo k ap ouvri pa anlè. Yo va kouvri chèz pwopyatwa a avèk zèl yo, epi figi a youn ap vire vè lòt. Konsa, fas toude cheriben yo ap gade vè chèz pwopyatwa a.
[Tell them to place the] winged creatures so that their wings touch each other and spread out over the lid.
21 “Ou va mete chèz pwopyatwa a sou lach la, e nan lach la ou va mete temwayaj ke Mwen va bay ou a.
Put inside the chest the stone slabs that I will give you. Then fasten the lid onto the top of the chest.
22 La Mwen va rakontre avèk ou, epi soti anwo chèz pwopyatwa a, nan antre de cheriben yo ki sou lach temwayaj la, Mwen va pale avèk ou selon tout sa ke Mwen va ba ou nan kòmandman pou fis Israël 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.”
23 “Ou va fè yon tab avèk bwa akasya, de koude nan longè, yon koude nan lajè e yon koude edmi nan wotè.
“[Tell them to] make a table from acacia wood. It is to be (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
24 Ou va kouvri li avèk yon kouch lò pi, e antoure li avèk yon woulèt fèt an lò.
[Tell them to] cover it with pure gold and put a gold border around it.
25 Ou va fè yon rebò lajè kat dwat pou antoure li, e ou va fè yon bòdi pou rebò ki antoure li a.
[Tell them to] make a rim all around it, (3 in./7.5 cm.) wide, and put a gold border around the rim.
26 “Ou va fè kat wondèl an lò pou li, e mete wondèl yo sou kat kwen ki sou kat pye li yo.
[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 Wondèl yo va toupre rebò a kòm soutyen k ap resevwa poto k ap pote tab la.
The rings should be fastened to the table near the rim.
28 Ou va fè poto yo avèk bwa akasya e kouvri yo avèk yon kouch lò, dekwa ke pa yo menm, tab la kapab pote.
Make two poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold. The poles for carrying the table are to be inserted in the rings.
29 “Ou va fè asyèt, kiyè yo, louch ak chodyè yo, avèk bòl li yo k ap sèvi pou vide ofrann yo. Ou va fè yo avèk lò pi.
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 “Ou va mete pen Prezans lan sou tab la devan Mwen pou li la tout lè.
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 “Alò, ou va fè yon chandelye avèk lò pi. Chandelye a avèk baz ak pyè li yo gen pou fòme avèk lò ki bat. Tas li yo, boujon li yo, avèk flè li yo va fèt nan yon sèl pyès avèk li.
“[Tell them to] make a lampstand from pure gold. They must hammer [one large lump of] gold to make its base and its shaft. [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 “Sis branch yo va soti sou kote li yo; twa branch chandelye a nan yon bò, e twa branch chandelye a nan lòtbò a.
There are to be six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
33 Twa tas yo va fòme tankou flè zanmann sou yon branch, yon boujon, yon flè, e twa tas yo fòme tankou flè zanmann sou lòt branch lan, yon boujon avèk yon flè—konsa pou sis branch yo sòti nan chandelye a;
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 Epi nan chandelye a, kat tas ki fòme tankou flè zanmann yo, avèk boujon ak flè li.
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 Yon boujon va vin mete anba premye pè branch ki sòti nan li yo, e yon boujon anba dezyèm pè branch ki sòti nan li yo, pou tout sis branch k ap sòti nan chandelye yo.
On each side, there is to be one [flower] bud beneath each of the branches.
36 Boujon pa yo avèk branch pa yo va fèt nan yon sèl pyès avèk li. Yo tout va fòme yon èv nan yon sèl pyès, fòme avèk mato ak lò pi.
All these buds and branches, along with the shaft, are to be hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
37 “Alò, ou va fè sèt lanp e yo va monte yo nan yon sans k ap voye limyè sou espas ki devan li an.
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).
38 Etoufè yo avèk asyèt pa yo va fèt avèk lò pi.
[Tell them to] make tongs from pure gold, [to remove the burned wicks] and trays [in which to put the burned wicks].
39 Li va fèt avèk yon talan swasann-kenz liv lò avèk tout bagay itil sa yo.
[Tell them to] use (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and the tongs and the trays.
40 “Veye pou nou fè yo selon patwon ki pou yo a, ki te montre a ou nan mòn nan.”
Make sure that they make these things according to the instructions that I am giving you [here] on [this] mountain.”
