1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Laba, nnonze Bezaaleeri mutabani wa Uli, muzzukulu wa Kuuli, ow’omu kika kya Yuda;
“I have chosen by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
3 era mmujjuzza Omwoyo wa Katonda, n’okumanya, n’obusobozi n’amagezi mu kukola ebitali bimu ebyemikono
I have filled him with the Spirit of God giving him ability, creativity, and expertise in all kinds of craftsmanship.
4 okutetenkanya ebintu ebinaakolebwa mu zaabu ne ffeeza n’ekikomo, nga bwe binaafaanana,
He can produce designs in gold, silver, and bronze,
5 okwola amayinja n’okugategeka, n’okwola emiti, era n’okukola byonna ebyemikono ebya buli ngeri.
he can cut gemstones to place in settings, and he can carve wood. He is a master of every craft.
6 Ate mmulondeddeko Okoliyaabu mutabani wa Akisamaki, ow’omu kika kya Ddaani, okumuyamba. “Era abakugu abakola ebintu byonna ebya buli ngeri, mbawadde amagezi okukola bino byonna bye nkulagidde:
I have also chosen Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to help him. I have also given all the craftsmen the skills needed to make everything that I have ordered you to make:
7 “Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’Essanduuko ey’Endagaano n’ekibikkako eky’entebe ey’okusaasira, awamu n’ebikozesebwa byonna mu Weema,
the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony and its atonement cover, and all the other furniture in the Tent:
8 emmeeza n’ebigenderako, ekikondo ekya zaabu omuka eky’ettaala n’ebigenderako, n’ekyoto eky’obubaane,
the table with its equipment, the pure gold lampstand with all its equipment, the altar of incense,
9 n’ekyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebigenderako, n’ebbensani ne kw’etuula;
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin plus its stand;
10 n’ebyambalo ebyalukibwa obulungi, ebyambalo ebitukuvu ebya Alooni, kabona, n’ebyambalo bya batabani be bye baweererezaamu mu bwakabona;
as well as the woven clothes for both Aaron the priest and for his sons to serve as priests,
11 n’amafuta ag’okufukibwa, n’ebyakaloosa akalungi ak’omu Kifo Ekitukuvu. “Byonna babikole nga bwe nakulagira.”
as well as anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them following all the instructions I have given you.”
12 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
The Lord told Moses,
13 “Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, Munaateekwanga okukuuma Ssabbiiti zange, kubanga ako ke kabonero akanaabeeranga wakati wammwe nange mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna, mulyoke mumanye nga Nze Mukama, Nze mbatukuza.
“Tell the Israelites, ‘It's absolutely essential that you keep my Sabbaths. The Sabbath will be a sign between me and you for generations to come, so that you'll know that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
14 “‘Munaakuumanga Ssabbiiti, kubanga lunaku lutukuvu. Buli anaaluweebuulanga waakufa; ne buli anaakolanga omulimu gwonna ku lunaku olwo waakuggibwa mu bantu be, attibwe.
You shall keep the Sabbath because it is holy to you. Anyone who dishonors it must be killed. Anyone who works on that day must be cut off from their people.
15 Emirimu ginaakolwanga mu nnaku mukaaga, naye olunaku olw’omusanvu ye Ssabbiiti ey’okuwummula, lunaku lwa Mukama lutukuvu. Buli anaakolanga omulimu ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti wa kuttibwa.
Six days you can work, but the seventh day is to be a Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Anyone who does any work on the Sabbath day must be killed.
16 Noolwekyo abaana ba Isirayiri banaakumanga olunaku lwa Ssabbiiti, nga balujjukira mu mirembe gyabwe gyonna, ng’endagaano etaggwaawo.
The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath as an everlasting agreement for generations to come.
17 Kanaabeeranga kabonero wakati wange n’abaana ba Isirayiri emirembe gyonna, akalaga nti Mukama yakola eggulu n’ensi mu nnaku mukaaga, ne ku lunaku olw’omusanvu n’alekeraawo okukola, n’awummula.’”
It's a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for the Lord made the heavens and the earth in six days, but on the seventh day he stopped and he rested.’”
18 Awo Mukama bwe yamaliriza okwogera ne Musa ku lusozi Sinaayi, n’awa Musa ebipande bibiri eby’amayinja, eby’Endagaano Katonda gye yawandiika n’engalo ye, ye kennyini.
When the Lord finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, stone tablets written on by the finger of God.
