Eksodosy 27
1 Ary manaova ny alitara amin’ ny hazo akasia: dimy hakiho avy ny lafiny efatra, dia ho efa-joro tsy mivadi-mandry izy; ary telo hakiho ny hahavony.
“Tell them to make an altar from acacia wood. It is to be square, (7-1/2 feet/2.2 meters) on each side, and make it (4-1/2 feet/1.3 meters) high.
2 Ary manaova ny tandrony eo amin’ ny zorony efatra, ka ataovy miray aminy; ary petaho takela-barahina.
[They] must make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood as the altar. [Tell them to] cover the whole altar with gold.
3 Ary manaova ny vilaniny fandraofan-davenona handraofana ny lavenony ary ny sotron’ afony sy ny loviany famafazana ary ny fitrebiny sy ny fitondran’ afony; varahina no hanaovanao ny fanaka rehetra momba azy.
[They must] make pans in which to put the [greasy] ashes [from the animal sacrifices]. Also [they must] make shovels for cleaning out the ashes, basins and forks for turning the meat as it cooks, and buckets for carrying hot coals/ashes. All of these things must be made from bronze.
4 Ary manaova makarakara varahina tahaka ny harato ho eo aminy; ary manaova vava-varahina efatra hatao ambonin’ ny harato eo amin’ ny zorony efatra,
Also [tell them to] make a bronze grating to hold the wood and burning coals. They must fasten to each of the corners of the altar a bronze ring for carrying the altar.
5 Ary ataovy eo ambanin’ ny sikin’ ny alitara hatreo ambodiny izany; ary aoka ny makarakara hanasaka ny alitara.
[They must] put the grating under the rim that is around the altar. [They must] make it so that it is [inside the altar], halfway down.
6 Ary manaova bao ho amin’ ny alitara, dia bao hazo akasia, ka petaho takela-barahina,
For [carrying] the altar, [they must] make poles from acacia wood and cover them with bronze.
7 Ary ampidiro eo amin’ ny vava varahina ny bao; ary aoka ho eo amin’ ny lafiny roa amin’ ny alitara ny bao, raha lanjaina izy,
[They must] put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar. The poles are for carrying the altar.
8 Hazo fisaka no arafeto ho alitara, ka ataovy hobokaty; araka izay naseho taminao tao an-tendrombohitra no hanaovana azy.
The altar will be like a box, made from boards [of acacia wood]. [They must] make it according to these instructions that I am giving you [here] on [this] mountain.”
9 Ary manaova ny kianjan’ ny tabernakely: amin’ ny lafiny atsimo hisy fefy lamba rongony fotsy madinika voahasina ho amin’ ny kianja, zato hakiho ny halavany amin’ ny lafiny iray;
“Around the Sacred Tent there is to be a courtyard. To form the courtyard, [tell them to] make curtains of fine linen. On the south side, the curtain is to be (50 yards/44 meters) long.
10 ary ho roa-polo ny tsangantsangany, ary ho roa-polo ny faladiany varahina; ho volafotsy ny fihantonana amin’ ny tsangantsangany sy ny anjaka hitohizany,
[To support/hang the curtain], [tell them to] make twenty bronze posts, and one bronze base for each post. To fasten the curtains to the posts, [they must] make silver hooks, and [metal] rods [covered with] silver [to fasten the curtains to the hooks].
11 Ary ho tahaka izany amin’ ny lafiny avaratra, amin’ ny lavany dia hisy fefy lamba, zato hakiho ny halavany, ary ho roa-polo ny tsangantsangany, ary ho roa-polo ny faladiany varahina; ho volafotsy ny fihantonana amin’ ny tsangantsangany sy ny anjaka hitohizany,
[They must] make the same kind of curtains for the north side of the courtyard.
12 Ary hisy fefy lamba dimam-polo hakiho amin’ ny sakan’ ny kianja amin’ ny lafiny andrefana; ho folo ny tsangantsangany, ary ho folo ny faladiany,
On the west side [of the courtyard] they must make a curtain (25 yards/22 meters) long. The curtains are to be supported by ten posts, with a base under [each] post.
13 Ary ny sakan’ ny kianja amin’ ny lafiny atsinanana ho dimam-polo hakiho.
On the east side, [where the entrance is], the courtyard must also be (25 yards/22 meters) wide.
14 Ary hisy fefy lamba dimy ambin’ ny folo hakiho amin’ ny sakany iray; ho telo ny tsangantsangany, ary ho telo ny faladiany.
[Tell them to] make a curtain (22-1/2 feet/6.6 meters) wide for each side of the entrance [to the courtyard].
15 Ary hisy fefy lamba dimy ambin’ ny folo hakiho amin’ ny sakany iray koa; ho telo ny tsangantsangany ary ho telo ny faladiany.
16 Ary eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja dia hisy vavahady sy lamba roa-polo hakiho, dia manga sy volomparasy sy mena ary rongony fotsy madinika voahasina, asan’ ny mahay tenona samy hafa soratra; ho efatra ny tsangantsangany, ary ho efatra ny faladiany.
They must make a curtain (30 feet/9 meters) long for the entrance. A skilled weaver must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. It must be (supported by/hung from) four posts, each one with a base under it.
17 Ny tsangantsangany rehetra amin’ ny kianja manodidina dia samy hisy anjaka volafotsy hitohizany; ho volafotsy ny fihantonany, ary ho varahina ny faladiany,
All the posts around the courtyard must be connected with metal rods covered with silver. The clasps/fasteners must be made of silver, and the bases must be made of bronze.
18 Ny lavan’ ny kianja ho zato hakiho, ary ny sakany ho dimam-polo hakiho, ary ny hahavony ho dimy hakiho, ka hatao rongony fotsy madinika voahasina izany, ary ho varahina ny faladiany.
The whole courtyard, [from the east entrance to the west end], must be (50 yards/44 meters) long, and the curtains that enclose it must be (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high. All the curtains must be made of fine linen, and all the bases [under the posts] must be made of bronze.
19 Ho varahina avokoa ny fiasana rehetra momba ny tabernakely; ary ny tsimatra rehetra momba azy sy ny tsimatry ny kianja ho varahina koa.
All the things [that are not made of gold] that are to be used inside the Sacred Tent and in the courtyard, and all the tent pegs to support the Sacred Tent and the curtains, must be made of bronze.
20 Ary mandidia ny Zanak’ Isiraely hitondra aminao diloilon’ oliva tsara voavely hatao fanazavana, mba hampirehetana jiro mandrakariva.
“Command the Israeli people that they must bring to you the best kind of olive oil to [burn in] the lamps. [They must bring this oil to you continually], in order that the lamps can burn continually.
21 Ao anatin’ ny trano lay fihaonana, dia eo ivelan’ ny efitra lamba izay manakona ny Vavolombelona, no handaharan’ i Arona sy ny zanany azy ho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah hatramin’ ny hariva ka hatramin’ ny maraina; ho lalàna mandrakizay amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany hatramin’ ny taranany fara mandimby,
They must put the lampstand outside of the curtain which is in front of [the sacred chest which contains the stone slabs on which I have written] my commandments. Aaron must take care of the lamps. [After he dies], his descendants must do this work. The lamps are to burn every night, from evening until morning. The Israeli people must obey this regulation throughout all future generations.”
