20 Ugbu a, ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile siri nʼihu Mosis pụọ.
The Israelites left Moses,
21 Onye ọbụla chọrọnụ na onye nke mmụọ ya kwaliri laghachiri azụ bịa wetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye nʼihi ọrụ nke ụlọ nzute ahụ na nʼihi ije ozi dị nʼime ya na nʼihi uwe nsọ ndị ahụ.
and all those who felt moved to do so and who had a willing spirit came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work making the Tent of Meeting, for everything required for its services, and for the sacred clothing.
22 Ndị niile ọ metụrụ nʼobi, ma ndị nwoke ma ndị nwanyị bịara weta onyinye ha. Ha wetaara Onyenwe anyị onyinye ihe ịchọ mma nke ọlaedo dị iche iche: ihe ịkpọchi uwe, ọlantị, ọlaaka na ihe ndị ọzọ e ji achọ mma dị iche iche, nke e ji ọlaedo kpụọ. Ha chere ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka aja mfufe.
So everyone who was willing, both men and women, came and presented their gold as a thanks offering to the Lord, including brooches, earrings, rings, and necklaces—all kinds of gold jewelry.
23 Ụfọdụ mmadụ wetara akwa na-acha anụnụ anụnụ na ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie na nke uhie uhie maọbụ ezi akwa ọcha maọbụ akpụkpọ ajị ewu, akpụkpọ ebule e sijiri ọbara ọbara na akpụkpọ ehi mmiri.
Everyone who had blue, purple, and crimson thread, finely-woven linen, goat hair, tanned ram skins, and fine leather, contributed them.
24 Ndị ọzọ wetara ọlaọcha na bronz, dịka onyinye ha nyere Onyenwe anyị, ụfọdụ wetara osisi akashia nke a ga-eji wuo ụlọ ikwu ahụ.
Those who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a gift to the Lord. Everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the work donated it.
25 Ụmụ nwanyị ndị bụ ọka nʼịdụ akwa na ikwe akwa tụrụ eri na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, na ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie, nke na-acha uhie uhie na nke ezi akwa ọcha, webata ha dịka onyinye.
Every woman skilled in spinning with her hands brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or crimson thread, or finely-woven linen.
26 Ụfọdụ ụmụ nwanyị kwa ji onyinye ǹka pụrụ iche ha nwere kpaa ajị ewu dịka akwa pụrụ iche.
All the women who were willing to use their skills spun the goat hair.

The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to make the ephod and breastpiece,

as well as spices and olive oil for lighting, for the anointing oil, and for the aromatic incense.
29 Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka ụmụ Izrel niile, ma nwoke ma nwanyị, ndị chọrọ inyeaka nʼọrụ ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu si weta onyinye ha. Onye ọbụla nʼime ha nyere Onyenwe anyị onyinye afọ ofufu.
All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought a freewill offering to the Lord for all the work in making what the Lord through Moses had ordered them to do.
30 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel, sị, “Lee, Onyenwe anyị ahọpụtala Bezalel, nwa Uri, nwa Hua, onye si nʼebo Juda.
Then Moses told the Israelites, “The Lord chosen by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
31 O mejupụtala na Mmụọ nke Chineke, nʼamamihe, nghọta na ihe ọmụma na ike ije ozi ọrụ ǹka dị iche iche.
He has filled him with the Spirit of God giving him ability, creativity, and expertise in all kinds of craftsmanship.
32 Ichepụta ihe ǹka dị iche iche, nke metụtara ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na bronz,
He can produce designs in gold, silver, and bronze,
33 ịwa nkume na ido nkume, ịkwa ǹka osisi nakwa ọrụ ǹka niile dị iche iche.
he can cut gemstones to place in settings, and he can carve wood. He is a master of every craft.
34 Ma o tinyela nʼime ya na Oholiab, nwa Ahisamak, onye si nʼebo Dan, amara ikuziri ndị ọzọ ihe.
The Lord has also given him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
35 O mejupụtala ha nʼike ije ozi ọrụ ǹka dị iche iche, dịka igbunye akara, ise ihe osise, ịkpanye ihe ịchọ mma nʼakwa dị iche iche, ya bụ iji ogho na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie, uhie uhie nakwa nʼezi akwa ọcha na nke ndị ọkpa akwa. Ha niile bụkwa ndị ǹka na ndị nchepụta ihe ịchọ mma doro anya.”
He has equipped them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-woven linen, and as weavers—in fact as skilled designers in all kinds of different crafts.
