Fitowa 30
1 “Ka yi bagade da itacen ƙirya don ƙona turare.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
2 Zai zama murabba’i, tsawon zai zama kamu ɗaya, fāɗi kuma kamu ɗaya, amma tsayin yă zama kamu biyu, ƙahoninsa kuma su zama ɗaya da shi.
It is to be square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It is to be (3 feet/90 cm.) high. [Tell them to] make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood that the altar [is made from].
3 Ka dalaye bisansa da kuma dukan gefe-gefensa da kuma ƙahoninsa da zinariya zalla, ka kuma yi zubi na zinariya kewaye da shi.
[They must] cover the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. Put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
4 Ka yi zobai biyu na zinariya domin bagade a ƙarƙashin zubin, biyu a gefe da gefe su fuskanci juna, don su riƙe sandunan da ake amfani da su don ɗaukarsa.
[They must] make two gold rings for carrying the altar. [They must] attach them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. These rings are for the poles for carrying the altar.
5 Ka yi sandunan nan da itacen ƙirya, ka dalaye su da zinariya.
[Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
6 Ka sa bagaden a gaban labulen da yake gaban akwatin alkawari, a gaba murfin kafara wanda yake bisa akwatin alkawari, inda zan sadu da kai.
[They must] put this altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest and its lid. That is the place where I will talk with you.
7 “Haruna zai ƙone turare a bisa bagaden kowace safiya, sa’ad da yake shirya fitilu.
Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
8 Dole Haruna yă ƙone turare sa’ad da ya ƙuna fitilu da yamma, ta haka za a riƙa ƙona turare a gaban Ubangiji, daga tsara zuwa tsara.
and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
9 Ba za a ƙona wani irin turare dabam a bisa wannan bagade ba, ba kuma za a miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa, ko ta hatsi, ko ta sha a bisansa ba.
The priests must not burn on the altar any incense that I have not told you to burn, or burn any animal on it, or any grain offering for me, or pour any wine on it as an offering.
10 Sau ɗaya a shekara, Haruna zai yi kafara a bisa ƙahoninsa. Dole a yi wannan kafara ta shekara-shekara da jinin kafara ta hadaya don zunubi daga tsara zuwa tsara. Gama bagaden mafi tsarki ne ga Ubangiji.”
One time every year Aaron must perform the ritual for making this altar pure. He must do it by putting on its four projections some of the blood from the animal that was sacrificed (to remove the guilt of the people’s sins/so that the people would no longer be guilty for sins). This ritual is to be done by Aaron and his descendants throughout all future generations. This altar must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.”
11 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
12 “Sa’ad da za ku ƙidaya Isra’ilawa, dole kowanne yă biya domin yă fanshe kansa ga Ubangiji a lokacin da aka ƙidaya shi. Ta haka babu wata annobar da za tă buge su sa’ad da kuke ƙidaya su.
“When your [leaders] (take a census of/count) the Israeli people, each man [who is counted] must pay to me a price to save his life. They must do this in order that no disaster will happen to them while the people are being counted.
13 Kowannen da ya ƙetare zuwa wurin waɗanda aka riga aka ƙidaya, dole yă ba da rabin shekel, bisa ga ma’aunin shekel na tsattsarkan wuri, wanda nauyinsa garwa ashirin ne. Wannan rabin shekel hadaya ce ga Ubangiji.
Every man who is counted must pay to me (0.2 ounces/5.7 grams) of silver. They must use the official standard when they weigh the silver.
14 Duk waɗanda suka ƙetare, waɗanda shekarunsu ya kai ashirin ko fiye, za su ba da hadaya ga Ubangiji.
All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
15 Masu arziki ba za su bayar fiye da rabin shekel ba, talakawa kuma ba za su bayar ƙasa da haka ba, sa’ad da za ku yi hadaya ga Ubangiji don kafara rayukanku.
Rich men must not pay more than this amount, and poor men must not pay less than this amount, when they pay this money to save their lives.
16 Ku karɓi kuɗin kafara daga hannun Isra’ilawa, ku yi amfani da shi domin hidimar Tentin Sujada. Zai zama abin tunawa ga Isra’ilawa a gaban Ubangiji, don su yi kafarar rayukansu.”
Your leaders must collect this money from the Israeli people and give it to [those who will] take care of the Sacred Tent. This money is the payment for the lives of those who take care of the Sacred Tent, (to enable me not to forget them/and then I will remember to protect them).”
17 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
18 “Ka yi daro na tagulla, ka yi masa ƙafafun da za a ajiye shi da tagulla don wanki. Ka ajiye shi tsakanin Tentin Sujada da bagade, ka zuba ruwa a ciki.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make a bronze washbasin and a bronze base for it. [They must] put it between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
19 Haruna da’ya’yansa maza za su wanke hannuwansu da ƙafafunsu da ruwan da yake cikinsa.
Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
20 Duk lokacin da suka shiga Tentin Sujada, za su yi wanka, don kada su mutu. Duk lokacin da suka yi kusa da bagade don hidima ta miƙa hadayar da aka yi wa Ubangiji da wuta,
before they enter the Sacred Tent and before they come to the altar to sacrifice offerings that will be burned on it. If [they do that], they will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
21 za su wanke hannuwansu da ƙafafunsu, don kada su mutu. Wannan za tă zama dawwammamiyar farilla domin Haruna da zuriyarsa daga tsara zuwa tsara.”
They must wash their hands and their feet, in order that they will not die. They and the males descended from them must obey this ritual throughout all generations.”
22 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 “Ka ɗauki waɗannan kayan yaji masu kyau, shekel 500 na ruwan mur, rabin turaren sinnamon mai daɗin ƙanshi shekel 250, shekel 250 na turaren wuta mai ƙanshi,
“[Tell the people to] collect some of the finest spices— (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (liquid myrrh/sweet-smelling sap named myrrh), (6 pounds/3 kg.) of sweet-smelling cinnamon, (6 pounds/3 kg.) of a sweet-smelling cane/reed,
24 shekel 500 na kashiya, duk bisa ga ma’aunin shekel na tsattsarkan wuri, da moɗa na man zaitun.
and (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (cassia/a sweet-smelling bark named cassia). [Be sure] that they use the official standard when they weigh these things. Tell an expert perfumer to mix these with (one gallon/four liters) of olive oil
25 Da waɗannan za ka yi man shafewa mai tsarki, yadda mai yin turare yake yi. Zai zama man shafewa mai tsarki.
to make sacred oil for anointing.
26 Sa’an nan ka yi amfani da shi don shafa wa Tentin Sujada, da akwatin alkawari,
Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
27 da tebur da kuma dukan kayansa, da wurin ajiye fitila da dukan kayansa, da bagaden ƙona turare,
the table and all the things that are used with it, the lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar for [burning] incense,
28 bagaden hadaya ta ƙonawa da dukan kayansa, da daro da mazauninsa.
and the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned, along with its bases and the washbasin and all the things that are used with it.
29 Za ka tsarkake su don su zama mafi tsarki, kuma duk abin da ya taɓa su, zai zama mai tsarki.
Dedicate them by anointing them, in order that they will be completely holy/sacred. Anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
30 “Ka shafe Haruna da’ya’yansa maza, ka kuma tsarkake su don su yi mini hidima a matsayin firistoci.
And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
31 Ka faɗa wa Isra’ilawa, ‘Wannan mai, zai zama mai tsarki ne a gare ni don shafewa, daga tsara zuwa tsara.
And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
32 Kada a zuba a jikunan mutane, kada kuma a yi wani mai irinsa. Wannan mai, mai tsarki ne, za ku kuma ɗauke shi a matsayi mai tsarki.
You must not pour it on the bodies of people who are not priests, and you must not make other oil to be like it by mixing the same amount of those things. This oil is sacred, and you must consider it to be sacred.’
33 Duk wanda ya yi irin wannan mai, duk wanda kuma ya shafa shi a kan wani wanda yake ba firist ba, za a ware shi daga mutanensa.’”
I will consider that anyone who makes ointment like this [for any other purpose], and anyone who puts any of this ointment on someone who is not a priest, no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
34 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Ka ɗauki kayan yaji mai ƙanshi, resin na gum, da onika, da galbanum, da kuma zallan lubban, duk nauyinsu yă zama daidai.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
35 Ka yi turare mai ƙanshi yadda mai yin turare yake yi. A sa masa gishiri, yă zama tsabtatacce, tsarkakakke.
and tell an expert perfumer to mix them together to make some perfume. Add some salt to keep it pure and make it holy.
36 Ka ɗiba kaɗan daga ciki, ka niƙa, ka ajiye a gaban akwatin alkawari a cikin Tentin Sujada, inda zan sadu da kai. Zai zama mafi tsarki a gare ku.
Beat some of it into a fine powder. Then take some of it into the Sacred Tent and sprinkle it in front of the sacred chest. You must all consider this incense to be very holy.
37 Kada ku yi wani turare irinsa wa kanku; ku ɗauke shi a matsayi mai tsarki ga Ubangiji.
The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
38 Duk wanda ya yi irinsa don jin daɗin ƙanshinsa, dole a ware shi daga mutanensa.”
I will consider that anyone who makes incense like this to use it for perfume will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
