Kobima 37
1 Betisaleyeli asalaki Sanduku na nzete ya akasia. Molayi na yango ezalaki na basantimetele pene nkama moko na tuku mibale na mitano; mokuse na yango, basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano; mpe bosanda na yango, basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano.
Now Bezalel also made the ark from setim wood, having two and one half cubits in length, and one and one half cubits in width, and the height was also one and one half cubits. And he clothed it with the purest gold, inside and out.
2 Abambaki yango wolo ya peto, na kati mpe na libanda. Alatisaki mpe songe na yango wolo.
And for it he made a crown of gold all around,
3 Asalelaki yango bapete minei ya wolo mpe atiaki yango basonge minei: mibale na ngambo moko, mpe mibale na ngambo mosusu.
casting four gold rings at its four corners: two rings on one side, and two on the other.
4 Asalaki mabaya mibale na nzete ya akasia mpe abambaki yango wolo.
Likewise, he made bars from setim wood, which he clothed with gold,
5 Akotisaki mabaya yango na bapete oyo ezali na songe ya Sanduku, mpo na komemela yango.
and he placed them into the rings, which were at the sides of the ark, to carry it.
6 Asalaki mofinuku na wolo ya peto. Molayi na yango ezalaki na basantimetele pene nkama moko na tuku mibale na mitano; mpe mokuse na yango, basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano.
He also made the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, from the finest gold, two and one half cubits in length, and one and one half cubits in width,
7 Asalaki bikeko mibale ya basheribe oyo atiaki na suka mibale ya mofinuku; asalaki yango na wolo oyo batuti na nzela ya marto.
and then two Cherubim of ductile gold, which he positioned at the two sides of the propitiatory:
8 Atiaki ekeko moko ya sheribe na suka moko, mpe ekeko mosusu, na suka mosusu. Akangisaki bikeko ya basheribe na mofinuku, na suka nyonso mibale.
one Cherub at the top of one side, and the other Cherub at the top of the other side. The two Cherubim were at each end of the propitiatory,
9 Mapapu ya basheribe ezalaki ya kofungwama na likolo mpo na kobatela mofinuku; bazalaki ngambo na ngambo, mpe miso na bango etalaki mofinuku.
spreading their wings, and protecting the propitiatory, and gazing toward it and toward one another.
10 Asalaki mesa moko na mabaya ya akasia. Molayi na yango ezalaki na basantimetele pene nkama moko; mokuse na yango, basantimetele pene tuku mitano; mpe bosanda na yango, basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano.
He also made the table from setim wood, with a length of two cubits, and a width of one cubit, which had a height of one and one half cubits.
11 Abambaki yango wolo ya peto mpe atiaki lisusu wolo na pembeni na yango.
And he surrounded it with the finest gold, and for it he made a ledge of gold all around,
12 Azingelaki mesa yango na libaya oyo ezalaki na basantimetele pene mwambe na monene mpe atiaki wolo na pembeni ya libaya yango.
and for the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, four fingers high, and upon the same, another crown of gold.
13 Asalaki bapete minei ya wolo mpe atiaki yango na songe minei ya mesa epai wapi makolo na yango ezalaki.
And he cast four gold rings, which he set at the four corners at each foot of the table,
14 Bapete ezalaki pene ya libaya oyo ezingelaki mesa, mpe bakotisaki kati na bapete yango mabaya ya komemela Sanduku.
opposite the crown. And he placed the bars into them, so that the table could be carried.
15 Asalaki na nzete ya akasia mabaya ya komemela mesa, mpe abambaki yango wolo.
Likewise, the bars themselves he made from setim wood, and he surrounded them with gold.
16 Asalaki na wolo ya peto basani, bakopo, bambilika mpe bambeki, mpo na makabo ya masanga.
And he made vessels for the diverse uses of the table, as well as the little cups, and bowls, and measuring cups, and the censers, from pure gold, in which the libations would be offered.
17 Asalaki na wolo ya peto etelemiselo ya minda; asalaki yango na wolo oyo batuti na nzela ya marto. Evandelo na yango, likonzi na yango, bakeni na yango, bambuma mpe bafololo na yango, nyonso ezalaki ekangana lokola eloko moko.
He also made the lampstand, formed from the finest gold. The branches, bowls, and little spheres, as well as the lilies, proceeded from its bar:
18 Mipanzi ya likonzi ya etelemiselo ya minda ezalaki na bitape motoba: misato na ngambo moko, mpe misato na ngambo mosusu.
six on the two sides, three branches on one side, and three on the other.
19 Na likolo ya etape moko na moko ya etelemiselo ya minda, atiaki bakeni misato oyo ezali na lolenge ya fololo ya madame, elongo na bambuma mpe bafololo.
Three bowls, the size of a nut, were on each branch, with little spheres and lilies, and three bowls, in the likeness of a nut, were on the other branch, with the little spheres together with the lilies. The workmanship of the six branches, which proceeded from the shaft of the lampstand, was equal.
20 Na moto ya likonzi ya etelemiselo ya minda, ezalaki na bakeni minei oyo ezali na lolenge ya bafololo ya madame, elongo na bambuma mpe bafololo.
Now on the shaft itself were four bowls, the size of a nut, and little spheres together with each one, and lilies,
21 Na se ya bitape mibale-mibale ya etelemiselo ya minda, ezalaki na mbuma moko; mpe ezalaki bongo mpo na bitape nyonso motoba ya etelemiselo ya minda.
and little spheres under two branches in three places, which together made six branches proceeding from one bar.
22 Bambuma mpe bitape ezalaki ekangana na etelemiselo ya minda; mpe nyonso esalemaki na wolo ya peto, wolo oyo batuti na nzela ya marto.
Thus, both the little spheres and the branches were from the same thing: all hand-worked from the purest gold.
23 Asalaki minda sambo; mpe asalaki na wolo ya peto bisimbelo elongo na basani ya putulu.
He also made the seven lamps with their candle snuffers, and the vessels where the candles would be extinguished, from the finest gold.
24 Asalelaki bakilo tuku misato na minei ya wolo ya peto mpo na kosala etelemiselo ya minda mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso.
The lampstand with all its vessels weighed a talent of gold.
25 Betisaleyeli asalaki etumbelo ya malasi na nzete ya akasia. Molayi mpe mokuse na yango ezalaki ndenge moko, basantimetele pene tuku mitano; mpe bosanda na yango ezalaki na metele moko. Maseke na yango ekangamaki na etumbelo mpe esalaki kaka eloko moko.
He also made the altar of incense from setim wood, having one cubit on each of four sides, and in height, two. From its corners proceeded horns.
26 Abambaki wolo ya peto na likolo ya etumbelo, na mipanzi na yango mpe na maseke na yango; mpe azingelaki pembeni na yango na libende ya wolo.
And he clothed it with the purest gold, with its grating, as well as the sides and the horns.
27 Asalaki mpo na etumbelo bapete ya wolo na se ya ebende ya wolo oyo ezingeli yango: mibale na ngambo moko, mpe mibale na ngambo mosusu; mpo na kokotisa mabaya ya komemela etumbelo.
And for it he made a crown of gold all around, and two gold rings under the crown at each side, so that the bars might be put into them, and the altar could be carried.
28 Asalaki mabaya yango na nzete ya akasia mpe abambaki yango wolo.
Now the bars themselves he also made from setim wood, and he covered them with layers of gold.
29 Asalaki mafuta ya epakolami ya bule, malasi ya solo kitoko mpe ya peto, oyo esalemi na mosali malasi.
He also composed the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and the incense, from the purest aromatics, with the skill of a perfumer.
