Ọpụpụ 37
1 Bezalel ji osisi akashia wuo igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nke ịdị ogologo ya bụ otu mita na sentimita iri. Obosara ya ga-abụ sentimita iri isii na asatọ. Ịla elu ya ga-abụkwa sentimita iri isii na asatọ.
Then Bezalel made the [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It was (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
2 O ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie nʼime na azụ ya, jirikwa ọlaedo kpụọ ihe gburugburu akụkụ ya niile.
He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.
3 Ọ kpụrụ mgbaaka ọlaedo anọ maka ya, kwụnyekwa ha nʼụkwụ anọ ya, ya bụ mgbaaka abụọ nʼotu akụkụ, mgbaaka abụọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya.
He made/cast four rings from gold [and fastened them] to the legs of the chest. He put two rings on each side of the chest.
4 O jikwa osisi akashia ahụ mee okporo osisi, machiekwa ha ọlaedo.
He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.
5 O tinyekwara mkpara ndị ahụ nʼime mgbaaka ahụ dị nʼakụkụ igbe ahụ; ka ọ bụrụ ihe iji na-ebu ya.
He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, in order that the chest could be carried [by means of the poles].
6 Emesịa, o ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha mee ihe e ji ekwuchi igbe ahụ. Aha a na-akpọ okwuchi igbe a bụ Oche Ebere. Ịdị ogologo ya dị otu mita na sentimita iri, obosara ya dị iri sentimita asaa.
He made a lid for the chest. That was [the place where Yahweh would] forgive people’s sins. It [also] was (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
7 Mgbe ahụ, o ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha, nke e tipịara etipịa, kpụọ cherubim abụọ na nsọtụ abụọ nke ebe mkpuchi ahụ.
He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.
8 A rụnyere otu cherub nʼotu nsọtụ, otu cherub na nsọtụ nke ọzọ; nʼisi nsọtụ abụọ ahụ, ka o jikọtara ha ọnụ ka ha na okwuchi igbe ahụ bụrụ otu.
One of these was put at each end of the chest. The gold [with which they were made] was joined to the gold from which the lid [was made].
9 Cherubim ndị a gbasara nku ha laa elu, were ha na-ekpuchi okwuchi ahụ. Cherubim ndị ahụ cherịtara onwe ha ihu, na-ele anya nʼebe okwuchi ahụ dị.
[He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.
10 Emesịa, o mere tebul nke ịdị ogologo ya bụ iri sentimita itoolu. Obosara ya bụ iri sentimita ise, ịla elu ya bụ iri sentimita asaa. Ọ bụ osisi akashia ka o ji mee ya.
Bezalel made a table from acacia wood. It was (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./44 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
11 Ọ bụkwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha ka e ji machie ya. A kpụnyekwara ihe ọkpụkpụ ọlaedo gburugburu ọnụ ọnụ ya.
He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.
12 A rụnyere ihe nʼọnụ ọnụ tebul ahụ nke ịla elu ya ga-eru sentimita asatọ. Ihe a dị gburugburu ọnụ ọnụ tebul ahụ, ọ bụkwa ọlaedo a kpụrụ akpụ ka e ji rụọ ya.
He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.
13 Ha kpụrụ mgbaaka ọlaedo anọ maka tebul ahụ; kwụnyekwa ha nʼakụkụ anọ ahụ nʼebe ụkwụ anọ ya dị.
He made/cast four rings from gold and fastened the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].
14 E tinyere mgbaaka ndị ahụ nso nso ihe njikọ ahụ ka ha jide mkpara ndị ahụ, e ji ebu tebul ahụ.
The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.
15 O jikwa osisi akashia mee okporo osisi ahụ e ji ebu tebul ahụ. Jirikwa ọlaedo machie ya.
He made two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. These poles for carrying the table were then inserted into the rings.
16 O mekwara ihe niile na-adị nʼelu tebul ahụ: efere, ngaji, ọkwa na iko, nke e ji awụpụ aja ihe ọṅụṅụ. Ọ bụkwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha ka o ji kpụọ ha.
He also made from pure gold all the things to be put on the table. He made the plates, the cups, and the jars and bowls to be used [when the priests] poured out wine [as an offering to Yahweh].
17 Ha ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha kpụọ ihe ịdọkwasị oriọna. Ha kpụrụ ụkwụ ala ala ya, na alaka ya, mekwaa ka iko ya niile yiri okoko osisi, nʼisi ya niile, na ifuru ya niile bụrụ otu ya na ahụ ya.
[He] made the lampstand from pure gold. Its base and its shaft were hammered from [one large lump of] gold. [The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the petals [that decorated the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft were all hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.
18 Alaka isii sitere nʼakụkụ abụọ nke ihe ịdọkwasị oriọna ahụ wapụta, alaka atọ nʼotu akụkụ ya, alaka atọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ.
There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
19 Iko atọ e mere dịka okoko osisi alụmọnd ya na ifuru, ya na okoko ya niile dịkwa nʼotu alaka; iko atọ nʼalaka nke ọzọ, otu a ka ọ ga-adị nʼalaka isii niile ahụ na-awapụta site nʼihe ịdọkwasị oriọna ahụ.
Each of the branches had on it three [gold decorations that looked like] almond blossoms. These decorations also had flower buds and [flower] petals.
20 Nʼelu ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ, enwere iko anọ dịka ifuru osisi alụmọnd, ya na ebe o si awapụta na okoko ya.
On the [shaft of the] lampstand there were four [gold decorations that also looked like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and [flower] petals.
21 Otu isi dị nʼokpuru alaka abụọ si nʼetiti ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ pụta, isi nke abụọ ga-adị nʼokpuru alaka abụọ nke ọzọ, isi nke atọ ga-adị nʼokpuru alaka nke atọ, ya bụ ha niile alaka isii.
On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.
22 Isi nwapụta ya na alaka ya niile dịkọtara ọnụ, ha na ihe ịdọkwasị oriọna ahụ, nke e ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha rụọ.
All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
23 Ha mekwara oriọna asaa ya, ma mkpa ya na ihe ịkpakepụ ọkụ ya niile. Ha bụ ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha.
Bezalel also made seven small cups [for holding oil. He put one cup on top of the shaft and he put the others on top of the branches]. He made from pure gold the tongs [for removing the burned wicks] and the trays [in which to put the burned wicks].
24 Ha sitere na iri kilogram atọ na anọ nke ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha kpụọ ihe ịdọkwasị oriọna ahụ na ngwongwo ya niile.
He used (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the things that were used to take care of it.
25 Ha ji osisi akashia wuo ebe ịchụ aja a na-anọ esure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ. Akụkụ anọ ya ha nʼotu. Ogologo ya na obosara ya bụ iri sentimita anọ na ise. Ịdị elu ya bụ iri sentimita itoolu. Mpi ya niile si na ya pụta.
From acacia wood, Bezalel made the altar [for burning] incense. It was square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It was (3 ft./90 cm.) high. He made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar was made of.
26 Ha ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie elu ya; akụkụ ya niile nakwa mpi ya niile. Ha jikwa ọlaedo kpụlite ọnụ ọnụ ya gburugburu.
He covered the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. He put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
27 Ha kpụnyere mgbaaka ọlaedo abụọ nʼokpuru ihe ahụ akpụlitere akpụlite, abụọ na ncherita ihu akụkụ ọ bụla, ebe a ga na-ejide mkpara e ji ebu ya.
He made two gold rings for carrying the altar. Then he attached them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. The poles by means of which the altar was to be carried were to be inserted into those rings.
28 Ha ji osisi akashia mee mkpara ndị ahụ. Jirikwa ọlaedo machie ha.
He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold.
29 Ha mekwara mmanụ otite dị nsọ, na ezigbo ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nke a na-agwaghị ihe; bụ ọrụ nke onye na-eme mmanụ isi ụtọ.
He also made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
