1 Awo Bezaaleeri n’akola Essanduuko mu muti gwa akasiya; ng’obuwanvu bwayo mita emu ne desimoolo emu, n’obugazi sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu, n’obugulumivu nabwo sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu.
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 N’agibikkako zaabu omuka ennyo kungulu ne munda, era n’agyetoolooza omuge ogwa zaabu.
He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.
3 N’agiweeseza empeta nnya eza zaabu, n’azisiba ku magulu gaayo ana, ng’empeta ebbiri ziri ku ludda lwayo olumu n’endala ebbiri ku ludda lwayo olulala.
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 N’abajja emisituliro mu muti ogwa akasiya, n’agibikkako zaabu,
He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.
5 n’agisonseka mu mpeta ziri okusituzanga essanduuko.
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 N’akolerako ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira nga kya zaabu omuka ennyo; obuwanvu bwakyo bwali mita emu ne desimoolo emu, n’obugazi sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu.
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 N’akolerako ne bakerubi babiri mu zaabu omuweese ku njuyi ebbiri ez’ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira.
He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.
8 Kerubi omu yamuteeka ku ludda lumu olw’ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira, ne kerubi omulala ku ludda olwokubiri, nga bakerubi bombi beekutte wamu n’ekisaanikirako, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira.
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 Ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi yabikola nga bibikkule nga bisonze waggulu, era nga bisiikirizza ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira. Bakerubi ne batunulagana nga boolekedde ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira.
[He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.
10 N’akola n’emmeeza mu muti gwa akasiya, obuwanvu bwayo sentimita kyenda, n’obugazi sentimita amakumi ana mu ttaano, n’obugulumivu sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu.
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 N’agibikkako zaabu omuka ennyo, era n’agyetoolooza omuge ogwa zaabu.
He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.
12 N’agikolerako olukugiro oluweza sentimita musanvu ne desimoolo ttaano obugazi, n’omuge ogwa zaabu okwebungulula olukugiro olwo.
He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.
13 N’aweesa empeta nnya eza zaabu, n’azisiba mu nsonda ennya awali amagulu gaayo ana.
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 Empeta ezo yazissa kumpi n’olukugiro ziyisibwemu emisituliro gy’emmeeza.
The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.
15 N’akola emisituliro gy’emmeeza mu muti gwa akasiya, n’agibikkako zaabu.
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 N’akola mu zaabu omuka, ebikozesebwa eby’okubeeranga ku mmeeza: essowaani zaako, n’ebijiiko byako, n’ebibya eby’okufukanga ebiweebwayo eby’okunywa.
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 Yakola ekikondo ky’ettaala nga kya zaabu omuka. Yakiweesezaako entobo yaakyo n’enduli, n’ebikopo ebifaanana ng’ebimuli, amatabi n’emitunsi n’ebimuli byako; byonna yabiweesa mu kyuma kya zaabu kimu bulambalamba.
[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 Kwaliko amatabi mukaaga agafaanana ng’omutuula emisubbaawa; amatabi asatu nga gali ku ludda lumu n’amalala asatu nga gali ku ludda olulala.
There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
19 Ku ttabi erimu kwaliko ebikopo bisatu nga bikoleddwa ng’ebimuli by’alumondi n’emitunsi n’ebimuli, ate bisatu ne bibeera ku ttabi eddala, n’ebirala bisatu ne bibeera ku buli limu ku matabi amalala okutuusa amatabi omukaaga gonna agava ku kikondo ky’ettaala lwe gaabuna.
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 Ku kikondo ky’ettaala kwennyini kwaliko ebikopo bina ebyakolebwa ng’ebimuli by’alumondi n’emitunsi gyabyo n’ebimuli byako.
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 Omutunsi ogumu gwali wansi w’amatabi abiri agava ku kikondo ky’ettaala, n’omuntunsi ogwokubiri ne gubeera wansi w’amatabi abiri agaddirira, n’omutunsi ogwokusatu ne gubeera wansi w’amatabi abiri agaddako, amatabi gonna omukaaga ne gabuna.
On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.
22 Emitunsi n’amatabi gaako yabikola bumu n’ekikondo ky’ettaala mu zaabu omuweese omuka nga biri wamu.
All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
23 Ekikondo ky’ettaala n’akikolera ettaala musanvu, ne makansi ezikomola entambi, n’essowaani ez’okussaako ebisirinza, nga byonna abikoze mu zaabu omuka.
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 Ekikondo ky’ettaala ne byonna ebigenderako yabikola mu zaabu omuka eyaweza obuzito bwa kilo amakumi asatu mu nnya.
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 Yakola ekyoto, mu miti gy’akasiya, okwoterezangako obubaane, nga kyenkanankana sentimita amakumi ana mu ttaano buli ludda mu buwanvu ne mu bugazi; n’obugulumivu bwa sentimita kyenda; n’amayembe gaakyo nga gali mu muti gumu nakyo.
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 Ekyoto yakisiigako zaabu omuka kyonna, waggulu ne mu mbiriizi ne ku mayembe, n’akolerako omuge ogwa zaabu okukyebungulula.
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 Wansi w’omuge mu mbiriizi z’ekyoto zombi, yakolerako empeta bbiri eza zaabu, okuyisangamu emisituliro gyakyo nga wabaddewo gye kitwalibwa.
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 Emisituliro yagikola mu muti gwa akasiya, n’agisiigako zaabu.
He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold.
29 N’atabula amafuta amatukuvu ag’okwawula, n’ateekateeka obubaane obulongosebbwa ennyo, ng’abutabudde bulungi ng’omukugu mu byakaloosa bwe yandikoze.
He also made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
