Pukaana 30
1 E HANA oe i kuahu, i wahi e puhi ai i ka mea ala. E hana oe ia mea i ka laau sitima.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
2 Hookahi kubita kona loihi, a he kubita hoi kona laula; e hanaia na aoao ahalike, a elua kubita kona kiekie, oia mea hookahi me na pepeiao ona.
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 A e uhi oe ia mea i ke gula maikai, o ko luna, a me na aoao ona a puni, a me kona mau pepeiao, a e hana oe i lei gula a puni ia mea.
[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 A e hana oe i mau apo gula nona elua, malalo iho o kona lei; ma kona mau kihi, ma na aoao elua ona kau e hana'i ia mea; i mau wahi ia no na auamo e lawe ai i ke kuahu.
[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 A e hana oe i na auamo, he laau sitima, a e wahi ia mau mea i ke gula.
[Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
6 A e waiho oe ia mea imua o ka paku e kau ana imua o ka pahu hoike, imua hoi o ka noho aloha e kau ana maluna o ka pahu kanawai, kahi a'u e halawai ai me oe.
[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 A e puhi o Aarona maluna olaila i mea ala maikai, i kela kakahiaka, keia kakahiaka: i kona wa e koli ai i na kukui, e puhi oia i ka mea ala maluna olaila.
Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
8 A i ka wa e hoa ai o Aarona i na kukui i ke ahiahi, e puhi no oia i ka mea ala maluna olaila, he mea ala hoomau no ko oukou mau hanauna a pau.
and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
9 Mai Kaumaha oe i ka mea ala e maluna olaila, aole hoi he mohaikuni, aole hoi he mohai makana, mai ninini hoi i ka mohai inu maluna olaila.
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 A maluna o kona mau pepeiao, e kalahala ai o Aarona, i hookahi kalahala ana o ka makahiki, me ke koko o ka mohai hala o ke kalahala ana. E kalahala no oia maluna olaila, i hookahi no hana ana o ka makahiki no ko oukou hanauna; ua laa loa ia no Iehova.
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
12 I ka wa e helu ai oe i na mamo a Iseraela, i ka poe e heluia'i, alaila, e haawi no kela kanaka, keia kanaka i uku ia Iehova, no kona uhane, i ka wa au e helu ai ia lakou, i ole ai ka mai ahulau iwaena o lakou, i kou wa e helu ai ia lakou.
“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 Eia ka lakou e haawi mai ai, o kela mea keia mea e hele ae ranwaena o ka poe i heluia, he hapalua o ka sekela, ma ka sekela o ke keenakapu, (he iwakalua gera hookahi ia sekela, ) a he hapalua o ka sekela, oia ka haawina ia Iehova.
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 O kela mea keia mea e hele ae iwaena o ka poe i heluia, mai ka iwakalua o ka makahiki a keu aku, a haawi no oia i haawina ia Iehova.
All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
15 Aole hookeu aku ka mea waiwai, aole hoi ka mea hune e hoemi iho i ka hapalua o ka sekela i ko lakou haawi ana ia Iehova, e kalahala ai no ko oukou uhane.
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 A e lawe oe i ke kala kalahala o na mamo a Iseraela, a e haawi ia mea no ka hana o ka halelewa o ke anaina kanaka, i lilo ia i mea paipai manao no na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova, i mea hoi e kalahala'i no ko oukou poe uhane.
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
18 E hana no oe i ipu auau keleawe, a o kona kumu hoi he keleawe, i wahi e holoi ai. A e waiho oe ia mea mawaena o ka halelewa o ke anaina kanaka, a me ke kuahu, a e ninini oe i ka wai maloko.
“[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 No ka mea, malaila no e holoi ai o Aarona, a me kana mau keiki i ko lakou mau lima, a me ko lakou mau wawae.
Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
20 A hele lakou iloko o ka halelewa o ke anaina kanaka, alaila, e holoi lakou me ka wai, i ole ai lakou e make; a i ka manawa hoi e hookokoke mai ai lakou i ke kuahu e lawelawe ai, e puhi i mohai ahi no Iehova:
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 I holoi lakou i ko lakou mau lima, a me ko lakou mau wawae, i ole ai lakou e make. He kanawai mau loa ia no lakou; nona, a no kana poe mamo ma ko lakou hanauna.
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 Olelo mai no hoi o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 E lawe oe nou i mau hua ala nui, i mura maikai, elima haneri sekela, a i kinemona ikaika, he hapalua, elua hoi haneri sekela, a me ke kanalima, a i oheala, elua haneri a me ke kanalima sekela.
“[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 A i kida, elima haneri sekela, ma ka sekela o ke keenakapu, a i hookahi hina aila oliva:
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 A e hana oe ia i aila poni hoano, he mea poni i huiia ma ke ano o ka hana ana i na mea ala. E lilo ia i aila poni hoano.
to make sacred oil for anointing.
26 A me ia no oe e poni ai i ka halelewa o ke anaina kanaka, a me ka pahu o ke kanawai,
Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
27 A me ka papaaina, a me kona mau oihana a pau, a me ka ipukukui, a me kona mau oihana a pau, a me ke kuahu no ka mea ala,
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 A me ke kuahu no ka mohaikuni, a me kona mau oihana a pau, a me ka ipu auau, a me kona kumu.
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 A e hoolaa oe ia mau mea, i laa loa lakou: o na mea a pau e pili ana me ia mau mea, e laa no lakou.
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 A e poni no hoi oe ia Aarona, a me kana mau keikikane, a e hoolaa ia lakou, i lawelawe lakou na'u ma ka oihana kahuna.
And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
31 A e olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e i aku, He aila poni hoano keia no'u, ma ko oukou mau hanauna.
And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
32 Aole ia e nininiia maluna o ka io o ke kanaka, mai hana hoi oe i kekahi mea hamo like, ma ke ano hookahi me ia; ua laa ia, a e laa auanei ia no oukou.
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 O ka mea hana i mea ala e like me ia, a o ka mea kau ia mea maluna o ka malihini, e okiia oia mai kona poe kanaka aku.
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 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E lawe oe i mea ala nou, i natapa, i onika, a i metopio, ia mau mea ala, a me ka libano, e like no ke kaumaha o ia mau mea a pau.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
35 A e hana oe he mea ala, i laau poni hoi, e like me ka hana ana i na mea ala, i hanaia a miko, maikai, a laa hoi.
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 A e kui oe i kekahi o ia mea a wali loa, a e kau aku imua o ke kanawai, maloko o ka halelewa o ke anaina kanaka, kahi a'u e halawai ai me oe. E laa loa auanei ia no oukou.
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 A o ka mea ala au e hana'i, mai hana oukou i mea e like ai no oukou; e laa no ia ia oe no Iehova.
The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
38 O ka mea hana e like me ia, i mea e honi ai, e okiia no ia, mai kona poe kanaka aku.
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.”
